This was our first visit but it won't be our last. The food was fabulous! Really, really good. Much better than I had expected. I think this was because the name Cafe Italia conjured up for me images of efforts at second rate , make believe Italian food rather than the top notch offering it actually provides. A name change should perhaps be considered to something far more upmarket and in keeping with the quality provided. Acoustics were terrible. They need some soft furnishings to absorb some of the "tinny" noise bouncing around the walls. Curtains would help for a start. Oh and loose the music. Just added to the din and couldn't ascertain what was being played in any case because of the poor acoustics in any case!There's enough noise just from the talking at the tables.

As a first timer in this very interesting restaurant, i was not very sure on what to expect. I have been passing by this restaurant so many times yet was feeling intimidated going there on my own. So finally with a dear friend, we conquered Armenian Taverna. The greeting from the staff as soon as we descended into the entrance was already very welcoming. The decor was calm and inviting. Since it was our first time, we cannot decide on the whole myriad of choices. In the end we settled for the meat banquet for two. Boy did we get in over our heads. The food was amazing but definitely not for two ladies who lunch. Two brusque men maybe. The selection was very good and the taste was incredible. The tastes were similar to most middle eastern food but being in a different place makes all the difference. We will definitely be back.

Best way to describe is "ordinary" - not a lot wrong, but on the whole a little bit disappointing, and certainly no memorable wow factor which would ensure a speedy revisit. Didn't really rate the veal (with asparagus); certainly edible (so complaining would have been entirely inappropriate) but the taste not quite right. Calamari to start a bit on the tough side. Pannacota for sweet though was really good. Overall (a la carte) somewhat overpriced; wish now I'd stuck to the set menu which my wife seems to enjoy rather more!

Pre theatre meal great food lovely service.

We had a most enjoyable meal for my son's 19th birthday. I am sure we will come back soon.

Franco and his staff where professional and couldn’t do enough to make the experience one which I will do again. Waiter and waitress’s very well presented and punctual, which continued throughout our booking. The food .. Wow ... very reasonably priced. Authentic to say the least l... atmosphere to top it off was relaxed, the Roma experience on Wigan lane.. who’d have thought it.. thanks

Poor service, Yorkshire puddings were dire - again!!! Not going back!

We had booked in advance and went on Sunday evening. I had received a couple of texts reminding me, and I sent back confirmation "We'll be there". On arrival, we were asked how many was it for. Our table wasn't ready. It was moderately busy. We had the carvery which was really very good and excellent value for money. The service was slow in so much as we waited for what seemed to be ages before our order for good and drinks was taken. It was half way through eating the meals when the drinks arrived having had to tell the waitress we hadn't yet received them. Hopefully this was post Christmas blues. It would be a shame, because everything else was fine.

Meat sweats! love em!. Great food here!

Easy review to do . Been a regular here for a long time. Food always delicious . Friendly staff . Good atmosphere .

Read the five star reviews so was expecting a good meal but what we got was way better than that! The two varieties of Arancini my wife and I had were excellent, the Sicilian mixed grill was also but the Saltimbocca was off the scale. I was too full for a dessert but my wife had the Strawberry Canoli which I did try and was as a savoury eater very impressed. Last word goes to the staff and chefs who make sure you have a wonderful eating experience. Will we go back again? Of course, to eat our way through the rest of the menu!

Very lucky to live near this place it never disappoints the food , service, and wine is always excellent .

After concert meal with Friends on Sunday. No problems reserving, and then changing time! We’ve been going to Georgio’s for many years and the staff are always friendly and attentive. The garlic bread (pizza style) is amazing - I could eat that on its own! The menu is unfussy, unpretentious Italian food. Good sized portions - so go easy on the garlic bread! I had fusilli con salmone e piseli and there were large chunks of smoked salmon in a creamy sauce. I couldn’t finish it all - back to that garlic bread. Recommended as the restaurant has a real buzz at busy times.

Excellent choice of food on the menu, Everything we have tried so far has been tasty. Service is good and it's good to see an Italian restaurant with authentic Italian staff!

Wow, what a great meal. I took my partner and her mum, who have never tried Armenian food and they loved it. Amazing food, and service. We will be back, thank you.

Came for Sunday Lunch yesterday and the food was lovely. There were 6 of us and we are 50/50 meat eaters / veggies. You have a good choice for veggies and my only suggestion (very minor) is to have something like a veggie sausage option with the Sunday Roast. Veggie loaf / nut roasts etc arnt always everyone choice. We'll be back again soon, please give this place a try and its really cool.
