Mark's Reviews

This was my first visit to Alloro and we were hugely impressed. The meet and greet was friendly & efficient. The restaurant is broken up into a number of different areas (rooms) and we had a very nice table in one of the quieter areas. The menu is really interesting, not long but very creative combinations and has some wonderful dishes. For starters I had the Italian omelette with prawns and my wife had the mozzarella and tomato. Both outstanding. We then both had pasta dishes – linguini & lobster and Ravioli & pesto – again out of the top drawer. We finished with some wonderful Brill simply pan fried. Great wine list and overall the restaurant was a very good experience. Would we go back? Definitely. Beware it is not cheap but like anything when it is really good quality you never really think about the price.

. I ate in Barrica the other night and was very impressed. It is on Goodge Street beside a whole string of other restaurants. Firstly the staff were very extremely friendly and welcoming; the tapas on offer included the list of daily “specials” on the blackboard behind the counter and the regular menu. We chose from both and they were all excellent. They were very helpful & informative with the wine selection regions/areas in Spain etc. You can sit at tables down the back or at high stools & counters at the front. It is a very casual place but lovely food.

I have eaten in Yming a number of times at this stage and have been hugely impressed with the food, service and atmoshere of the place. It is very calm and relaxed for a Chinese restaurant. The menu is very good and combines some “specials/recommendations” with the main menu. The host is a very friendly guy who really looks after you. A great place with excellent food.
