Pizza Express

Reviewed By Lee H

Service was swift and friendly. Starter was out sharp which was great. My pizza was really filling and well cooked. Felt really satisfied after it. My partners meal was a different story although tasted great the portion she got of spag bol pasta was laughable. As were so hungry she ate but when went to pay mentioned it and the server just said yeah everyone has been complaining about it. I thought at least she would deduct something off the bill as we spent £40 plus. Also to charge £2.65 for a can of irn bru is a disgrace.

ASK Italian - Livingston

ASK Italian in Livingston is a place for great food and warm service. Think fresh bread made to tear and share. A glass of fine wine worth deserving of your time. Delicious main dishes prepared the traditional way. Everything we know and love about Italian food is served straight to your table. Take a look at our Livingston menu and, if you like what you see, book a table.

My wife and I had our regular visit here and I felt compelled to write this review.
We were greeted at the door by the restaurant manager who was his usual friendly, professional self and he seated us quickly.
We were then served by Siobhan who looked after us brilliantly from arrival until we left. Our wines were brought out quickly, at the right drinking temperatures and exactly how we like them.
Our starters arrived quickly and were tasty, our places were re-set for the mains in good time and our mains were outstanding. We had the rigatoni meatball pasta and the Nduja sausage prima pizza. All the food was excellent.
We have been eating here for years and this was the first time we have been served by Siobhan. She is excellent. Andrew also serves us regularly in Ask and he is the best waiter in the area by a long distance.
If other restaurants are Reading this, take a visit to Ask and see how great service is delivered.
Thanks to Ask for consistently outstanding service and excellent food.

Black Bull Inn

Established in the small village of Mid Calder in 1747, this pub is one of the busiest meeting places in the area. The Black Bull Inn is at the heart of the community, and enjoys a prime location, sitting snugly in the shadow of its new town neighbour, Livingston, close to nearby rail links. Though it has been under new private ownership since August 2009, the Black Bull Inn has retained some of its period features; a real coal fire crackles in the cosy lounge bar in winter, drawing visitors in from the cold.This pub has traditional values, and this is obvious as soon as you set foot inside. A welcoming atmosphere with a friendly smile awaits you at the Black Bull Inn, as well as good food and great cask-conditioned ales. Local brew Caledonian Deuchars IPA is a permanent fixture, but there are always guest beers available on tap, and the varied wine list offers great value for money. The lounge bar serves food daily from midday until 9pm, with classic pub favourites featuring on the menu alongside lighter lunch options like baguettes, sandwiches and baked potatoes. Be sure to check the specials blackboard for something a little different.There is an unmistakable buzz when you enter the Black Bull Inn; this may have something to do with the busy calendar of events, which includes domino flyers and quiz nights and zumba and salsa classes. A function room is available to hire at the rear of the pub, which is ideal for meetings or functions.

We pre-booked a table and had lunch here.
Service was attentive, accurate and fast but not intrusive.
I had the fish and chips - fish was beautifully flaky and the batter was crisp but not too thick. Colleagues had the steak pie which they enjoyed too.
We'd all happily return.

Khushi's

Reviewed By Madhura K - Livingston, United Kingdom

We ordered Chicken tikka, chilli garlic mutton, naan, rice and samosas. The dishes were COLD, BLAND and TASTELESS. There was so much artificial color added to chicken tikka, it almost tasted like powdered chicken. Butter garlic Naans had neither garlic nor butter. Rice was uncooked. Only samosas were decent but they were cold as well. We had to throw away all of the food! 40£ wasted. Horrible!

Please remember this is part of a college and its the students that are making your food and serving your meals, and having gone their with friends on a recommendation we were so impressed. The service was excellent, the food superb, and the price was out of this world. You could have eaten a 3 course lunch with coffee for £10 - yes £10. I will be back.

The problem with this place is that it attracts groups of people especially towards the end of the week and is consequently rather noisy to say the least.

La Campana

Reviewed By ataylor-smith - Scotland

First time here and I really enjoyed it. Nice warm welcome with a few jokes thrown in.
For starters we had snails and frogs legs. A first for both of us and they were lovely! Hubby had steak which he thoroughly enjoyed and I had veal which was very tasty. Would have been nice to have some veg with it rather than just fried potatoes. Both finished with a panna cotta then Irish coffees.
Really enjoyed the food and my only criticism would be it is very expensive. £126 for 2 although granted we did have a few drinks!
Will return when the bank balance recovers!!
