Customer Review Summary
Wine pairings come up most, from a tasting menu with matched wines described as spot on to a bistecca served super rare alongside pairings from a team member, and a recommended bottle called harmonious with the food. Steak follows close behind, one diner calling it tender and juicy. Starters get notice too, including calamari, smoked fish carpaccio and crab risotto, and several reviewers single out the gluten free dishes, one with celiac disease calling them delicious. Hosts are repeatedly described as warm, friendly and knowledgeable, and one reviewer found the lunch menu great value. One mixed review calls the visit average: a wait at the door for a table already laid, a waitress who brought a zero alcohol beer when a different beer was requested, food that did not stand out for a table of four, and a discretionary service charge the diner found assuming. Another reviewer recalls the owner bringing a complimentary lemon liqueur and a hug at the end of an anniversary dinner.

“The food was outstanding, and the team went above and beyond to adapt the menu to everyone's dietary needs. As someone with celiac disease, I was particularly impressed by the quality and variety of the gluten-free options, which were absolutely delicious. Cinzia was kind, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout our visit, ensuring that everything was perfect. The waitstaff were also warm, attentive, and welcoming. This restaurant offers an authentic Italian dining experience, proudly showcasing its Sardinian roots through both its cuisine and hospitality. A truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend.”

“Wow, fantastic from start to finish Shared 5 of the starters on our table and they were top end. Calamari best I've had. Lovely smoked fish carpaccio. Risotto of crab was so good. Bistecca cooked super rare, top quality and the wine pairings from Jonathan made the experience My first time in Giilford and Blue set the bar 🔥”

“Authentic Italian food in the heart of Guildford. Amazing selection of wines! The food is really good and the service is top class. Really recommend it.”

“Overrated. Our experience was average. We were left waiting on arrival for over 5 mins for a table that was laid and waiting. Service, ambience and food were ok. We asked for Peroni, but the waitress didn’t think to check that we were ordering their only zero beer, so first round of drinks underwhelming. All four of us felt the food didn’t stand out. We eat out every other Saturday and 9 times out of ten, very complimentary and satisfied wherever we have been. We’re usually easily pleased. 15% discretionary service charge added which I will always find a bit assuming - we’re always good tippers, but we’ll choose, thank you. 7% tip. Average tip for an average overall experience. Can’t say I’d bother mentioning this place to anyone in conversation.”
