We love be tapas but had somehow never been to Iberico World Tapas previously. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere- busy, lovely vaulted ceilings etc and staff were friendly. We enjoyed every dish we ordered- and for the amount of food we had it felt good value. I've not given five stars as we finished our drinks early on in the meal and staff didn't return anywhere near our table for more drinks orders/to check food ok etc, which meant we had basically finished eating before we were able to catch someone's eye and order another drink. Just slightly took the edge off what was otherwise a lovely

I would love to give it a 5 stars, the food was amazing and the service even better from the kind attentive staff, but unfortunately my food here gave me severe food poisoning to the point where my family had to call 111 because I couldnt keep liquids down. This was nearly the worst pain Ive felt in my life. I have never before had food poisoning but thats what the doctor said was the cause. We have come to the conclusion that it most likely would have been the beef or the fish as those are the two dishes my partner hadnt eaten and I had. Such a shame.

Had a anniversary dinner with my partner in the only one Michelin bib Gourmand restaurant in Nottingham. The service was warm and welcoming. Food was with expected high quality and presentation as shown in photo
The pork belly and steak was my favorite
Pork belly coming with spicy sauce
Steak with miso egg yolk was a good choice too
We spend 72 in total for 2pp
7 tapas, 2 port, 1 dessert
Would come back again and try the other dishes.

Really delicious tapas restaurant, the nearest thing Nottingham has to the excellent Barrafina. We visited for an evening meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. We skipped bread and nibbles and went straight for the tapas, ordering six between us which was just the right amount. The pork belly in spicy sauce was great, as was the kale with ajoblanco and the peppers stuffed with spinach. Desserts and wine were really good too and for just over 80 for the lot it was pretty good value. This was our first visit to Iberico World Tapas but hopefully it won't be our last.
