PESTO AT THE WHITE HORSE REVIEWS

Love this place! food is always nice! and its great to pick and choose what you fancy! Reasonable prices too! Can get a little loud and hard to hear people but a great atmosphere Parking: There is a free car park but if its very busy it can be very hard to get a space.

Best Italian Tapas Restaurant with lots of varieties for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Customer service is excellent with food coming out very quickly. Great family atmosphere, with onsite parking. Reasonably priced. Attentive service provided by Shauna.

Selection of Tapas very good particulary the seafood choices. The beef stew and prawns with scallops had great flavours and ideal to dip the bread into.

SAN CARLO LEICESTER REVIEWS

Nice to find fresh fish and delicious salads in the middle of the country. My Dad and I enjoyed the meal very much and appreciated the quality of all of the authentic Italian flavours and styles. Service was friendly and helpful. A very interesting place that I didn't know about until recently.

Many options. The pizza was delicious. Very good sauce. Had the mussels which were excellent as well as the steak and lobster. All went down exceptionally well. Would definitely go again.

The restaurant is a very nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is just great, delicious and well-prepared. Highly recommend visiting!.
