La Pentola

Awesome food. Service was phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Those who have something negative to say do not know what quality food is.

Beautiful.

I found the staff to be friendly, helpful and informative. The environment is nice and cosy and I love that social distancing between tables was taken into consideration.

Something I haven’t seen in restaurant’s are small bottles of sanitiser placed on the tables which La Pentola has done, so super thumbs up on that point.

I found the cocktails to be potent but I can’t say they were a show stopper in terms of taste.

We had the wine pairing evening, the dessert and shrimp gooseberry salad which blew my taste buds into another galaxy!

The steak was more well done than medium to rare (was made to Chef Shane’s preference) and being a rare steak lover that was quite disappointing.

The risotto was underdone, I couldn’t eat it. I understand it should be somewhat al dente but I swear that was very much close to raw and I found it to be very unpleasant.

Overall, it was a lovely evening thanks to the dishes that blew my mind, the atmosphere that was warm and inviting and the company that made it wonderful.

Fabulous dining experience! Food is of the highest standards and truly tastes amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and is perfect for a romantic date, as well as a dinner with friends. Music isn't loud, so you can have a conversation without having to strain to hear and no need to shout. This is a big plus in my book!
Pricing is very competitive with affordable options for children.
And have I said that the food is amazing?
Thanks for once again giving great food and excellent service.

It was an absolute delight to eat at this restaurant.
The restaurant was essentially booked for guests to have a meal after my friend's passing.
I have rarely seen such an impeccable service.
Every 10 - 15 minutes a waiter would come up to make sure everything was alright, when, when it comes to a lot of other restaurants, one has to wait for a very long time before talking to their assigned waiter.
Everybody was friendly, kind and patient and the venue was clean and tidy.
The food was delicious, we had a salad first, then as the main course we had potatoes, exquisite meat cooked in a sauce I am not sure I know, with steamed green beans and carrots, and we had ice cream as a dessert.
We were attended to with so much care.
It was a great experience, I will definitely go back.

It has been a while since we have been here. Chef Shane as usual knows his stuff.
We had a lovely relaxing evening celebrating a special family occasion.
The food was very tasty and well presented.
There are various pre selectable meal options available and they all compliment each other very well.
You can choose between a starter and main course combo or main course and desert option. Both options are very filling. But......if you prefer bigger meals, nothing stops you from adding either a starter or desert to you combo choice.
It is really worthwhile keeping an eye open for their special evenings and special events.
