OLIVE GARDEN STANDISH REVIEWS

First time trying here last night, lovely restaurant, not too busy, food was delicious, service was quick staff are lovely too. I had the beef stroganoff as I've never had this before it was really nice + really filling. Garlic bread with cheese was delicious.

This is a really great Italian restaurant. The food is so fresh. The pasta is wonderful. The prawns in tomato sauce are delightful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to my next visit.

First visit but will definitely be going back from start to finish our visit was spot on and very reasonably priced well done to your very tentative team.

PESTO AT THE DICCONSON ARMS REVIEWS

Went here on a Friday afternoon with my friend, I'd been once before years ago . It was my friend's first time. There is so much to choose from and very reasonably priced. Friendly, helpful staff and lovely comfy chairs in a pleasant environment. The food was delicious as was the hot chocolate, it was actually nice and HOT. We'll definitely be going back soon .

Really enjoyed our first meal here this evening. Wasn’t rushed. Food was delicious not one complaint. Staff very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The red wine I had was top notch I’ve forgotten the name but it really complimented everything. Will come again. Thank you for a pleasurable evening.

We ate lunch and we enjoyed. Decent small plates. Nice meal . Service also good.

FRANCOS ITALIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Absolutely brilliant, we had a great time here for my Dad's birthday meal. All the staff are very friendly and the decor is very nice. It's the first time I've ever been, but I've always wanted to just because of how it looks from the outside, and it didn't disappoint. It's got a nice bar area downstairs to wait while your party arrives, with a good selection of drinks. The menu is great, I can honestly there didn't look like one thing I wouldn't like. Everybody enjoyed their food, especially my daughter . All in all, we had a great time and will see definitely go again.

Best ever garlic bread and dessert i ever had in an Italian restaurant. Also loved the penne Franco. Large sitting area hence Definitely visiting again.

Delicious real italian food cooked to perfection with a very friendy and funny owner and excellent service.
