Cucina Dei Sapori

"This was the third or fourth time we’ve been since the change of owners. It used to be superb, but sadly has gone downhill. A couple of months ago we went for dinner. I had the carbonara, which was lacking in flavour, and very mediocre. Nothing like authentic Italian. Yesterday we stopped for lunch and both opted for the chicken salad. It’s virtually a Caesar without anchovies, which I asked for but was told they didn’t have any. Slightly disappointing, although fair enough. However, when the salads arrived (my wife had the same dish) they were swimming in a cheap dressing. Enough to make the lettuce soggy and unappetising. So, all we could do was pick out the bits of chicken and cherry tomatoes, eat those and leave the rest. The staff could see our plates covered in food but nobody said anything, such as “is everything okay?”. Instead they completely ignored this and offered us the bill! I had to point out to our waitress what the problem was and what should have happened, but to be honest we ended up feeling sorry for her. Plus, two of her colleagues were just behind her (including the chef) but nobody said a word. Quite bizarre. Such a shame as this place used to be lovely, with good quality ingredients, yummy food and great service."

"Really enjoyed this. Aubergine parmigiana in particular was sensational. Prawn pasta had a decent number of prawns, well balanced flavour. Wine good. Ambience of the place and service all what you'd expect. They're busy for a reason. I'll go again when next in town."

"I was a regular customer when this place was run by the previous owners and have been a few times since it changed hands. This used to be so great as a coffee shop but whilst it’s still nice, the panini selection is limited and they aren’t brilliant. They only have a limited selection of cakes, which was one of the main attractions when it was being run in the previous owners."

"4 of us have just returned from a fabulous evening meal at the 'new' Cucina dei Sapori. Lovely welcoming team, great menu and wine list, brilliant service - all in all a fantastic time and we wish them all the best in the future. We will certainly be returning."

"Beautiful and delicious selection of pastries & lovely coffee enjoyed in a secret garden at the back of the cafe. So glad to have found this brilliant place."
