The best restaurants serving Italian food in Pantiles and St Mark's Tunbridge Wells South East

This is our second time to Lago. Generally we have always enjoyed our meals there. The restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere and thr staff are attentive. The title reflects what our thoughts are on our visit yesterday. We all had 3 courses with 2 bottles of wine, a beer and 2 bottles water. One of the main dishes a veal chop was very tough and it was pointed out to us it had been asked for as well done and that causes it to be tough. I think it the was manager who came overand explained that. He was polite to be fair to him. My point is, Im in my 60’s and have been to many restaurants and had a few cuts of meat in my days at various establishments and at home. I must point out that it wasn’t my dish that was the issue here. It was my mother in law’s, she always has her meat well done. Anyway i tried her dish just in case she was being overly fussy or wrong (now that’s a dicey road to go down!) It was tough and it wasn’t cooked well done as requested more like medium. The point is we have all had dishes in restaurants and cooked by ourselves in the past well done and meats generally have been fine, you can be unlucky as it was in this instance. We weren’t looking for a refund on dish my mother in law had eaten some of it and gave up. To be told it was our issue no matter how politely delivered is not the best way to deal with a customer’s concern. Our final bill was £324 for four people maybe a little bit of kindness in dealing with our concern should have been thought of. Otherwise the food was as expected.

Fantastic sourdough pizza! Really nice menu, good wine list. We had a lovely warm welcome and the best bit was being allowed to take our small dog inside with us.

A lovely place to eat. Great food. We really recommend the vegetarian crepes. The service though was the best thing. Such incredible customer service, especially from the gentleman who said he also works at Charlotte's - he was like a ray of sunshine.

Nous avons bu une boisson chaude et mangé une pâtisserie dans ce café au personnel agréable. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner anglais au menu. Le cadre est agréable (intérieur et extérieur). A refaire sur un temps de midi pour voir comment sont les repas.

TOTALLY JUST EATS FAULT! My food was cooked and sitting in the restaurant getting cold for 45 minutes before getting picked up! Said 20 minutes, took over an hour to get the food!!!
