The best restaurants serving Mediterranean food in England

Amazing food, good prices and lovely staff.

My wife and I dined here on Thursday 23rd January 2025 to celebrate our 54th Wedding Anniversary. We received a very warm and charming welcome . The service was very good , the menu had a varied choice of food without being overwhelming. After our meal we enquired about child catering and facilities for larger family groups. We were shown the newly open spacious extension, it was light and airy and facilitated larger groups. We were allowed to dine and drink at a leisurely pace without feeling rushed, having said that it was a quieter time of the evening. We are certainly planning on going again hopefully with our family. Thank you all staff for a very pleasant Wedding Anniversary.

Me and my family came to eat here we absolutely love it and would fully recommend to anybody else

Literally incredible. Like wow. Service was impeccable, food was heavenly. Literally cannot fault any part of the meal. Really friendly and accommodating just such a great evening. Thank you and will definitely be back!!

Lovely food and excellent service

I knew this place would be good when I saw people having a smoke sesh outside with some espresso. Pollo alla Barracudda was fire and idk what they cooked the carrots in but they were like garlicky and leng. Got a Moretti too which they have on draught. Only mark down in giving them is the potatoes which were a bit dry and undercooked, don’t do potatoes if they’re not your strong suit. Who comes to an Italian restaurant and asks for potatoes? Tbf probs on me for not getting a pasta. Also there was a party going on upstairs and these kids were yelling, which isn’t the restaurant fault but I feel they could do with a bit of music or something for ambience. Anyway ts was banging, if you’re in Stanmore you could do a whole lot worse

Always nice friendly staff and the food is always good. Definitely one of my top places to eat in noriwch

Takeaway pizza - just not ticking any boxes at all. Small amount of toppimgs. We had chosen “spicey” for two doffefent pizzas but neither seemed to have any spice at all, (had to add our own chillie oil to liven them up) Thin crust that was not crispy. Very dissapointed. Will go back to “Best Pizza” in Tavistock

Fabulous meal as always. Great service. Great food. Highly recommend

A good way to a 5 star review, be a good host and this place has one. Made us very welcome and gave us good recommendations. The food was superb and will look forward to coming back.

Disgusting service from this business… ordered and failed to deliver. The staff showed no remorse or attempted to resolve. Will never use this unprofessional set up again

Came in Christmas Eve and we have decided it’s going to be an annual family event! The food, services and atmosphere was impeccable! Thank you soooo much for starting our Christmas in such a fabulous way.

A large party of around 20 on a work do went out, we were asked to preorder from a menu online. The prices in the restaurant itself were higher. There were still delays in bringing out some food for people. The waiting staff were sweet and friendly. Unfortunately there was a mistake totaling our bill which they only identified after most of us had paid and left. The manager angrily demanded that we pay an extra £40 - he was so rude to me even tho it was his staff who made the mistake, he made no apology or acknowledgment that this was inconvenient, I wouldnt cheat anyone and of course was willing to the pay the extra. When I challenged him about his attitude he said he hadn't been rude, and appeared much happier once he had the money on his pocket. It was a bad end to what would have been a really nice evening. I wouldn't expect anyone to be so rude especially when a group had providing over £500 of business to you. All local as well. I will not be returning. I would still value an apology.

Delicious Lunch at Arto, Dorking I recently had the pleasure of dining at Arto in Dorking for lunch, and I was thoroughly impressed. I opted for the duck breast, which was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The dish was complemented by perfectly cooked broccoli, adding a lovely crunch and freshness. The dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely divine — rich, creamy, and indulgent without being too heavy. The balance of flavors and textures was spot-on, and the presentation was beautifully done. The service was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Arto for anyone looking for a quality meal in a charming setting!
