Delicious Italian food and serving sizes. With bread basket too! Yum! lovely selection of wines and lovely italian atmosphere. Lunch time can be noisy, dinner time too, but I guess thats a sign people are happy! Lovely surroundings and an Italian maitre d'. Yummy desserts too! I'd recommend the panna cotta.

Was here for dinner along with a colleague. A number of vegetarian choices. Everything we tried was good...soups, starters, pasta. Lots of bread on the house. The staff are friendly, patient and understand English well. Overall a nice place to visit. Slightly expensive.

we have been here numerous times and the food in general is very good. The chef is Italian, and the setvice is quick. It's always quite busy, so thats a good sign, and like any busy restaurant it can be noisy, but there is a lot of searing to choose from with smoking and non-smokin areas too. You must try... More

Long-time (10 years?), regular customer, who has reviewed Pendolasco before, and last night had one of my best experiences there. Very simple background. I wanted a calzone to take away, and I had a special craving: their normal calzone (with ham and cheese and mushrooms), plus extra garlic and black olives. They did it perfectly (sauteed chopped garlic). I just... More
