So glad we got to book with you for my birthday before you closed for two weeks. Staff lovely, great choice of food. Food was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be recommending and returning.

I visited for dinner last night with my family and partner. The food was incredible. Everyone at our table really enjoyed everything they had to eat. That would have been enough for a five star review but what really made this restaurant stand out for us was the wonderful staff. My father who was with us has advanced dementia and gets very confused but he wanted to come as he had been to the restaurant in past years with my mother and loved it there. As soon as the waiting staff realised he had dementia, they seated us in a quieter part of the restaurant and went out of their way to make sure he was comfortable and happy. It’s a difficult situation for my mother and they also went above and beyond to make sure she was ok as well. Not everyone is kind and understanding when it comes to my father’s condition (I’m pretty sure on of the other diners in the restaurant made a derogatory comment about his condition) so we really were grateful. We had a wonderful evening and can’t thank your staff enough. They’re all amazing. Thank you!!

A lovely evening out with very special friends. This restaurant has a truly wonderful atmosphere, the food was faultless and second to none. Our waiter, Vito was absolutely top notch and a lovely guy. He is definitely a great asset to this wonderful restaurant. The restaurant was extremely busy but the food was served hot and on time. All of our meals were very tasty and very ample portion sizes. We would not hesitate to recommend La Pergola and we thank the whole team for a wonderful evening.

The food we had here during the dinner service wasn’t bad by any means, in fact it was rather tasty! Everything we had tasted fresh and looked like it had been cooked with good quality ingredients! The arancini was quite nice, especially with it being accompanied with a cheese sauce however you could argue that it was quite expensive for what it was but I suppose they are the prices you pay in 2023! The lasagne on the other hand was very good: really, cheesy, tomatoey and presentable. It was also delivered hot straight to the table which is always a good sign. The negatives of the restaurant is that it was very crowded and felt cramped. They really do try to fit as many people as they can. Also where I was sat was not the best position. Constantly there was hustle and bustle from the servers. What’s more, they didn’t really come across that friendly and didn’t seem to be super interested if our meal was ok. Overall, decent food but I’m not sure about the service, restaurant decor or environment: busy and crowded. Personally, I couldn’t really relax. Would it stop be returning again? Probably not but that’s not to say that it was terrible, it was just average I suppose.

What a great place to eat, this was my first visit, the food was amazing and plentiful so make sure you leave room for the biggest desserts I have ever seen. Staff were friendly and you didnt feel rushed. I will definitely be revisiting in the near future. It is probably worth booking as I did for a Saturday night as it was full, even in November, and it would be a disappointment to travel all that way and not be able to get in. This is a little treasure.

The food was excellent. Quality and quantity was very good. Drinks a tad expensive. Staff were nice and helpful even though they were

This was our second visit. Service is friendly and helpful, food arrives promptly and piping hot. Saltinbocca was a little tough, cauliflower a little too crunchy. My whitebait was brilliant. Puddings outstanding. Pricing reasonable.

Absolutely wonderful. Food was really good and affordable as well! They have a big menu but everything we tried was good. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and I would also go back if I was in the area.

Absolutely delicious! And the portion sizes are incredibly large! ? most of the family couldn't finish them...? You can ask to take it home with you, if you want to. Have a look at the desert's!! Just as massive ? brilliant thanks to the staff as they were fantastic! Lots of birthdays too! ? great evening ✨ 5* amazing ?

We booked ahead for dinner on a Friday evening after reading reviews on here. We were glad we did as it certainly was busy. Lovely surroundings and a very pretty outside seating area, although it definitely wasn’t the weather to sit outside when we were there. Good sized car park. The food was good and service efficient. Portion size for dessert was impressive. One between two was ample.

We were greeted warmly and served by attentive staff. The pasta dishes were delicious- Canneloni- generous, tasty meat blend and tomato sauce, the Carbonara- a light cream sauce loaded with pancetta. Desserts are house made - the meringue was light with a lemon cream. Family run with obvious pride in what they do

My fiance and I came here for a lovely meal, we have been before a few years ago and we were excited to go back, the food was just as delicious and flavoursome, and the service was great. Make sure to go hungry as rhe portions are massive! The decor of the restaurant is classic Italian, with a glass cabinet with all the home made desserts. We can't wait to come again.

One of our friends has a fish allergy, there was a charge on the bill of £27.90 for the allergy? Two people had carbonara and were violently ill later, double charged drinks on bill, in small writing they added a service charge and didn't inform us so we subsequently added a tip aswell, in total the overall bill had an extra £100 putting spend per head at nearly £50, we won't be going back and won't recommend it either.
