Was here for a birthday party, waiters were attentive and attended very nicely to our group. Meal was good but not a great selection of Mocktails, they had just 2, I guess that's better than nothing. Overall, a good experience

Having had beautiful meal at Il Pavone on Saturday evening 4th October with my two sisters and her husband I was bitterly disappointed that I was overcharged 68. Now you may think no!! How can someone be over charged that much. My brother in law generally doesnt check bill however I thought it seemed bit expensive and it was a bottle of wine and two soft drinks added to our bill apparently. it was the cashier who pressed the wrong button. Just an apology was offered and nothing else. I love this restaurant as it is so good to get half portions as we like few starters. Very disappointed
