    As a group of 6 we decided to head to Al Duomo for some pre theatre food. I'd seen on their website that they offered a very reasonable meal offer. 3 courses for £10 or 2 for £7.50 I think (but not very much really). The early evening was sunny and very warm so we opted to eat outdoors and ok, the tables and seating were a little wobbly and could probably do with updating but still for the price I wasn't expecting too much. I went for pizza as I'd heard reviews that praised it's wood fired cooking. We had a variety of starters including Whitebait, which was delicious, garlic mushrooms (plenty of) and bruschetta (looked nice enough). I wouldn't recommend the pasta mains as they looked pretty plain but the fish and pizza dishes were lovely, I had a traditional margheritta and it was almost as good as one I had in Naples (local fresh ingredients in Naples being the difference). We all (but one) plumped for the tiramisu which was very satisfying, creamy and not too filling. Someone else had chocolate cake which was huge and had to be finished off by everyone else having a taste, making it a good one to share perhaps ;) All in all for the money I couldn't fault it. If they could perhaps smarten up the outside seating (solid wooden benches perhaps?) then it would make it a lovely place to go.

    An awful place. Bad service, terrible terrible Italian food and full of loud drunken hen parties. Quite possibly the worst attempt at Italian food I have eaten, bears no relation to authentic Italian food.
    It was like eating a microwave meal in a nightclub. Did they care when our party of nine complained.

    A truly loathsome dining experience.

    Very surprised at the poor reviews of the Al Duomo restaurant. We always have a great night out here and the food is excellent.

    Having eaten at Al Duomo previously, I took a group of six friends there and was surprised by the very poor service. We had to leave after waiting 45 minutes for our starters, which failed to appear, despite being told twice that they were "on their way". There was no explanation or apology from the waiters beyond "we are busy", which was clear to see. The manager's assistant was sympathetic and we left her to deal with the party of 20 on the neighbouring table who had been waiting for over an ...

    Service at Al Duomo was the slow and the worst I have ever had in the UK. Refused to pay service charge and was subjected to a torrent of abuse.

    The best part was the Manager standing outside the the restaurant on a busy Sunday, screaming obscenities at what he referred to as "ignorant English peasants" - try explaining that to yor six-year-old daughter. Probably needs a lesson in marketing techniques.
