Customer Review Summary
The most frequently praised element across reviews is the service, with diners repeatedly describing staff as friendly and attentive, though a few accounts say servers left empty glasses uncleared and service fell short. Close behind, the food draws split verdicts: several diners single out the spicy carbonara as outstanding and call the sticky toffee pudding and passionfruit martini standouts, while a recurring complaint targets the pasta itself, with reviewers describing it as overcooked, tasteless, undersalted, or drowned in cream, and lasagne portions so thin they barely covered one layer of the dish. A few also flag the music as repetitive and the prices as steep for what arrives on the plate, one likening the meal to a better microwave ready meal. Most visits are sit-down dinners, and several diners say they will return, drawn mainly by the warm front-of-house rather than the kitchen.

“Lack lustre and tasteless food. 2 members of the party opted to add meat to their pasta and there was hardly any in the pasta. Lasagne very thin and barely covered one layer of the dish, lucky if there was one spoonful of meat in there! Service also left a lot to be desired. Old empty glasses piling up on the table whilst bringing over new drinks but failing to take away the empties. Overall, I would not recommend or be returning here. I have had ad better microwave meals.”

“Absolutely amazing experience at Don Michele! We had the spicy chorizo carbonara and it was unreal. Honestly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had. The sticky toffee pudding was absolutely divine too! Most of all, the service from Rhys and Harley was unreal. They were both so friendly, attentive and welcoming and genuinely made the whole experience even better. Nothing was too much trouble and they really went above and beyond. Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!”

“Cibo scadente. Pasta senza sale, sapeva solo di panna anche se il piatto era diverso”
- Sébastien Bellounis
“Seul le service est à la hauteur. Le repas (lasagnes al forno et Pasta al arabiata) étaient honnêtes mais pauvrement servis et ne justifiaient pas un prix si élevé. Cela vaut juste un repas de cantine pris en formule du jour. Pas plus. La musique en font sonore était toujours la même et devenait insupportable au bout de 15 minutes. Donc les prix sont trop élevés pour la prestation et l'ambiance sonore est à revoir.”
