My wife and I had dinner at Belluci's at short notice and although they were fully booked they managed to accommodate us. I have a special dietary need for no salt meals and the chef was most co-operative and prepared me a special dish which was excellent.

It's often difficult to get into this very popular restaurant but after arriving around 8.30pm on a Monday evening in early December we didn't have to wait too long for a table. Another five or six "walk-ins" arrived after us and they were all seated reasonably quickly. Because the restaurant is always so busy the service can be sketchy, but... More

Its curious how a pricy restaurant with plenty of competition surrounding it can afford to have 4 wait staff lounging around the bar instead of tending to customers. We nearly walked out, after watching the ''boys'' have a laugh and a chat amongst themselves while we tried to attract their attention so we could order. If customers arrive at a... More

Expensive. Poor service. If they are trying to be Italian and sons, then lose the Greek influence.

'Pub food at four star prices', as someone else said, sums up our experience very well. With five at the table, the first two were served and the other three watched them for ten minutes before theirs arrived, while meals were served all over the restaurant. Whether the food was any good in the beginning is doubtful, but it was... More
