I am absolutely amazed at how we have just been treated by the manager Nuno Vitoo at Italian Kitchen, to the point where my Mum has left the Cafe crying. The food was lovely and we were enjoying our brunch when my mum had a text through from her bank saying she had spent 79.80, the receipt was 19.80 so the waiter had made a mistake and swapped the 7 for the 1 (easy mistake, we are all humans and this couldve happened to anyone) we raised the concern and called over the waiter (rather than going up to the counter to make a scene) 3 members of staff came over with the card machine and refunded

Best place to come for breakfast - eggs always cooked perfectly no matter which type you order. The staff are all really friendly, from those taking the orders to the servers - and the chefs definitely know what they're doing too. Perfect!

I was really dissapointed by food, I have ordered Caesar salad, barely eat some of it. Salad pieces was really big, there was no caesar salad dressing, and shocking croutons (big bits, very hard, tasteless, scared that I will break my teeth trying to bite it)

Even if the food looks nice, pasta was not cooked enough to be a dente and needed some more seasoning.
