Al Pomodoro

Great restaurant, lots of choice, great for gluten free options and lovely food

Atmosphere great. Waited an hour for starters - which were very tasty and well cooked. Waited over another hour for main course. Mushroom risotto was very watery but as we'd been so long waiting we refused a replacement meal. As I am gluten free my pizza took even longer to arrive but it was tasty. The gluten free pizza base was supposed to be £2 extra - very unfair. Veggie and vegan not charged extra but my allergy is a medical issue not a life style choice. It was deducted after we complained. Most of the food and wine was delicious but I didn't feel very comfortable.

Only visit when it’s an annual work do as it’s close by. Good food but expensive especially when 15% service charge is automatically put on top. Also extremely loud music. We’ve come to talk to each other not listen to music we haven’t chosen. I asked twice for music to be turned down as I and another person have a hearing problem. The waiter was bemused and asked “turned down?”. Perhaps he couldn’t hear me but it’s potentially discriminatory if a disability is ignored. The music was hardly touched so not a very nice experience. Also companion commented on lack of obvious vegan options for someone with gluten intolerance.
