NOLITO ITALIAN BAR AND GRILL REVIEWS

Nolito’s bar at the airport honestly made my wait so much better. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. I ordered the calamari fry and a fresh orange juice and both hit the spot perfectly. The calamari was crispy and full of flavour, and the juice tasted freshly squeezed and refreshing. The bartender even checked in a couple of times to make sure everything was good. It’s rare to find this kind of attention and genuine vibe at an airport bar. Definitely worth a stop if you’re flying through.

We had a very pleasant experience at Nolito, Luton Airport. The service was good and friendly, and the meals were served quickly without a long wait. The Italian pizzas were tasty, fresh, and full of flavour, and the traditional escalope was cooked well with a nice balance of sides. Prices were decent considering it’s at the airport.

Amazing service ! Niki and Sandra offered us a warm welcome , with a contagious smile ! We had pizza diavola and Nolito burger ! The food came quick and it was hot and delicious! , Thank you girls &Nolito team ! Keep it up.

CARRIAGES ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Simply amazing! Food was fantastic quality and really delicious - pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked, had both the lobster and ragu. Also the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever tried! Friendly staff, great value and great atmosphere with some lovely music playing throughout. Would highly recommend.

Surprising Italian restaurant, the food is delicious, with attention to the smallest details. Relaxing atmosphere, various choices of dishes from fish to meat and Real Italian pizza! Highly Recommended.

How amazing is this place. Fantastic train theme with amazing food and service. Even better is the value for money.
