    Great staff generally only issue was I believe it may have been a manager, Maitre D or owner even who was an older person that greeted us from the bar when we got there just get told and pointed to where our table was. This same person then got short with me when she asked me if I wanted another Beer, I mentioned the first one wasn't very cold. Her reply was, ' well it came from the fridge, do you want another one or not '. This is trivial but very ordinary on her behalf as the rest of the waiting staff were great. Great food.

    What an amazing and delicious night. The Hanger Steak was so juicy and melted in your mouth. The grilled pork was full of flavour and grilled lamb was amazing. The dessert was on a whole other level the stick date was perfectly balanced, along with the profiteroles which were crispy on the outside and the filling flawless. Finally the apple and custard calzone felt like romance on a plate with a big hug. Thank you to all the staff, they were extraordinary, the attention to detail was great!

    The atmosphere of the restaurant was very pleasant and relaxing. The service was excellent, and the staff were polite and professional. The food was absolutely delicious and of high quality. Even my daughter, who is usually a picky eater, enjoyed everything! We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back again.

    This is our second time to Vatutto and I found it difficult to choose a main, however thanks to our thoughtful waiter the choice was made for me and I was pleased with the outcome. It was a very filling but satisfied evening out to celebrate my birthday.
