    Excellent early evening meal for four of rhe family. Welcomed and looked after by the excellent team led by Pasquale. Great food as always. And a free bottle on Champagne today as a perk of being a Diamond member.

    Excellent as always. Pasquale, Domenico and the team looked after us making the evening special. Thanks to Rosario for being the best and most personable waiter, and a shout out to Ciara too who we had a lovely chat to. The menu tweaks recently have enhanced the offer and the atmosphere (we were on the terrace for a change) was lovely.

    Service was of a good standard. My son’s chicken was ordered plain but arrived with cheese and tomato added, this was dealt with by the staff. Managers were standing around talking to each other and this made us feel uncomfortable, as if we should not be asking for the meal to be corrected. There was no pepper available on the table. When I asked a staff member they grunted it was on the table and gesticulated towards the 2 salt dispensers on the table, when I pointed out they were both salt the staff member then apologised and retrieved the pepper but made us feel stupid for asking. All in all not the friendliest of services.
    Piccolino - HaleResponded on February 17, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. While we're glad to hear you found the service to be of a good standard, we're sorry that certain aspects of your experience didn’t meet expectations. Your son’s meal should have arrived as ordered, and we appreciate you giving us the chance to correct it. We certainly never want any guest to feel uncomfortable when requesting assistance, and we will address your concerns with the team to ensure a more welcoming and attentive service in the future. We appreciate your visit and hope to provide a better experience next time.
