Reviews in Liverpool and Merseyside

The food was excellent - delicious pasta and home made pizza. It was also cheap. We had gone intending to use a voucher we had which entitled us to 2 courses for £10, but quickly realised the menu prices were cheaper than this anyway. However, the menu is boring - bog standard pasta and pizza with only one or two interesting dishes. Apparently there is a specials board, but as none of the waiters told us about this, I have no idea what was on it. The service was very poor - one waitress was particularly rude - suggesting 3 times we hadn't booked, when actually we had and the restaurant was less than half full anyway. They were also unable to provide us with wine glasses and we therefore had to drink our wine out of tumblers. I'm no wine expert, but there's a reason people don't drink it out of a cheap tumbler - because it spoils the taste. It was also not properly chilled. This restaurant could be fantastic - they clearly know how to cook, and if they just dimmed the lighting, the ambiance would be nice too - relaxed and friendly. Overall, though, it needs some work.

the food is fresh and really tasty. With a lovely warm atmosphere and good looking spanish waiters. definitely worth a visit.

My family and I went for our Christmas dinner and were very impressed. The place was heaving but the food and service (5 courses) was the best I've had on our annual Christmas lunch out. We thoroughly enjoyed it and have been back several times since for meals and have not been disappointed. Thumbs up to Antonellis - keep up the good work*****

the best night of my life, cannot find a fault

Great authentic food. Not pushy staff, good relaxed atmosphere. Go...

As soon as you enter La Vina you feel like you've stepped into Spain. Very cosy and inviting inside. The food is amazing the tapas comes in excellent size portions and each one was delicious, topped off with a jug of sangria it is a perfect night out.

What a gem! My first visit to this parisienne style bistro and most definitely not the last. Cosy, lively, friendly, relaxed, great fun and excellent food. Try the Wednesday night offer- a real buzzing night and soooo cheap. Love it!

The food is lovely, the staff are very helpful and friendly. I have been twice recently, and will definitely be going back again!!

Large Chinese restaurant in the heart of Liverpool's Chinatown. Friendly welcome from staff on arrival. Very busy on the ground floor when we arrived so we were escorted to a room upstairs which is used during busy periods. Very nice surroundings, beautiful food and right in the heart of town. The ideal place to start / end the evening.

Huge helpings and very tasty food. Great location too.

My favourite Chinese restaurant on Merseyside & we have tried a lot, the staff are very friendly & attentive the food is 2nd to none quite expensive but well worth it the Chinese new year celebrations are excellent.... LOVE IT

Had a great night out with the girls from the office.It was Thurs night,there was live music,the service was second to none,the atmosphere was great,felt like we were tucked away in France somewhere.This is a must for all who appreciate good food in a great atmosphere.....a bit of escapism!!!

An outstanding venue, an outstanding meal and outstanding service. An excellent night!

We eat here regularly when we want some really good pasta and a lively Italian atmosphere. Deserts never disappoint either!

Good quality Chinese without entering into the realms of high class. Good service, tasty food, typically Chinese environment. Good choice for an inexpensive Chinese.

Nice Bohemian atmosphere. No pretension bar/restaurant. Although they seem to have whacked up the prices in the last year, making it not quite the cheap option it used to be.

Comes highly recommended. Excellent range of foods, including a well-stocked Specials board. It manages to maintain a homely pub setting but with a refined restaurant edge. Would definitely go again.

I love this place!! Gorgeous food, served by gorgeous staff in a gorgeous location. What more could you ask for?
