"i would class this as one of the worst restaurants i have been to. the food is definitely not authentic italian. all our meals were disguised with a sauce including the steak and the grilled calamari."
"Sensational!!!! Food is some times destroyed with chefs or cooks ( i have no idea were their taste buds are), but at the La Contadina (Italian) it was delivered with great care. The freshness of their produce was evident and cooked with love and passion, the favours was the result of pride in what they want their customers to enjoy. I thank them all for a first class meal, WELL DONE. Joe Mol.." more reviews

Sensational!!!!

Sensational!!!!
Very friendly atmosphere with good menu and very warm service. (September, 2008)
Great ambience, steak was disappointing. (August, 2008)
It was a beautiful warm and friendly place. We thought the main meal sizes could have been slightly larger than they were but overall very nice. (May, 2008)
We found the food reasonable however the service on the night was abysmal. We will never return. (jacko - December, 2007)
we had a nice evening, until we had left something at the table (a present) and no one was willing to assist us in trying to locate it, the staff & manager were both very unhelpful. (December, 2007)
We found the food at this restaurant was first class and fully intend to dine there again at our earliest opportunity. We recommend the food and hospitality to anyone, and also found the wine etc. were not over priced. (December, 2007) |
