Award Winning Italian Fine Dining Restaurant with a great atmosphere and a beautiful 'Al Fresco' Dining area over looking the park.

First time eating here and it did not disappoint. The food was lovely. Had the goats cheese and beetroot risotto which was delicious with the pork as a main. Really good. The only downside is the service although staff were really friendly and helpful the service itself felt very rushed with one member of staff nearly running into me. I felt as though I couldn't relax and felt a little on edge through out the meal.

The pub we were hoping to eat at had closed their kitchen early without telling us and so in despair we started looking for nearby restaurants on TripAdvisor. I called San Lorenzo and explained that we'd love to visit but would take us about 30 mins to get there. They kept the kitchen open for us and provided really excellent service when we arrived. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Thank you!

Given the number of "Excellent" reviews that Kia's Pastaria has received, I was expecting a very special dining experience when I visited the establishment with my wife yesterday evening. It was our first visit.The service was excellent - helpful, friendly and attentive.As it was my birthday, we went for three courses with alcoholic beverages too. The starters were substantial. I ordered the meatballs and my wife ordered the risotto balls. They both came with a rich tomato-based sauces and both were filling - perhaps too filling.For the main course we both ordered pasta dishes. The beef pasta special included soft chunks of meat in a rich tomatoey sauce which seemed identical to the sauce we had had with our starters. I felt there was not enough penne in the mixture - too much meat and sauce. In contrast, the fettuccine pollo e pancetta was nicely balanced.For dessert we chose posset de limoncello. Small tubs with a couple of berries on top. Quite expensive at £5.95 each and there was a distinct flavour of tinned evaporated milk in there.Please don't get me wrong. The meal was good but for us it somehow lacked the "wow" factor we had been expecting. KIa's is definitely better than okay but five stars? Not in our judgement.

Well what a lovely night once again, haven't been for a while but it was worth the wait. The lamb dish with prunes was outstanding, the meat was cooked to perfection and the flavours were sublime. My partner had lobster ravioli with prawns in a cream sauce. He said it was excellent too. We had a lovely bottle of wine recommended by Vito as there were too many for us to choose from. Vito and his team make you feel very welcome, like old friends. Poor Vito seemed to be having a difficult night with a couple of customers sat nearby. They seemed to have had a little bit much to drink and were being very rude, especially the male. Vito had to ask them to leave as they were making such a fuss and were threatening towards him, swearing etc. I saw another male customer follow Vito to make sure he was okay. Thankyou for making our night special Vito, some of us appreciate your hospitality.

Reviewed By Longey
This restaurant gets good reviews and was full on a wet Thursday evening, so they must be doing something right.I thought the meal was about average - and what I would call, perhaps a little unkindly, 'faux Mediterranean' . The menu failed to inspire and a tad overpriced for what it is - for example £21+ for Boeuf Bourguignon seems to be pushing it a bit.Dinner for 2 and a couple of drinks came out at about £80 - quite enough.Hello It is disappointing to read that you didn't enjoy your visit as much as we would have liked last Thursday evening. We know we can't please every one, and the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same thing. However, for the people reading your review I have to point out that your comments are misleading and lack any real explanation. For a start, you missed out the fact that the 'couple of drinks' you had was in fact a £30 bottle of wine that you chose from our menu. Totalling almost half of of your bill. We do have wine at half that price. In total you had two starters, two main course dishes, a £30 bottle of wine and two coffees.It is interesting how some people think very little of the money they spend on alcohol yet criticise the cost of the food they eat, when this is where the hard work and passion is put into. The Boeuf Bourguignon dish that you choose from our specials on Thursday evening was made from scratch. The meat alone in that dish after cleaning and cutting costs us just over £5 per portion, after which it's marinated overnight in a full bodied red wine. The next day the meat is seared and braised for 4 and a half hours. Before serving the dish, wild mushrooms and smoked pancetta are added increasing the cost to us further. Not to mention the vegetables and fries served alongside it. The little profit that is made becomes even smaller after we pay the rent in order to roof you, the insurance to keep you and our staff protected, credit card rental and transaction fees. The music license, the gas and electric used to cook, keep you warm on our typically British rainy evenings and to perfectly light your evening. Onto the chefs who create the magic, the pot washer who works tirelessly to keep everything gleaming, the water you drink and we cook with, the plates your food is loving plated onto, the waiting staff who bring the finished product to your table...I really could go on but I think you can understand that the costs involved in running a restaurant are very high, especially for a small independent businesses like ours and others operating in the location we do. Our menu is very varied price wise, there is something for everyone, the same goes for our wine/drinks list. So why you would chose some of our most expensive dishes and wine only to complain about the cost later begs the question why? Let's move onto your knowingly 'unkind' comment stating we are a 'faux Mediterranean' Given your lack of explanation or reasoning we are left perplexed as to why you would write such a thing. Had you of asked any one of our staff members about us on the evening you could have learnt we are family run, and the owners are Moroccan. Our menu comprises of mainly Italian dishes because this is what are our chefs have a passion for cooking after living in Italy for many years. However, we also have Moroccan and french dishes Inspired by their roots. Their limitations do not stop there and they have a wealth of knowledge of other Mediterranean and non Mediterranean cuisine. We don't restrict ourselves, and if the chefs feel like cooking something it will go on our specials board regardless of its origin. We are not a chain, we are a family, and when you come to dine with us you will experience things that we love to eat ourselves and want others to experience. So what exactly are we being accused of faking? Perhaps you didn't know that Morocco and other North African countries are in the Mediterranean? Other than lacking being situated on a coastline in 30 degree sunshine we are a Mediterranean restaurant with experienced chefs cooking cuisines they love. I wish you well on your journey to finding a more authentic Mediterranean restaurant than us in sunny Sheffield Kind Regards Freya
2. Napoli Centro Pizzeria

Reviewed By Robertstefanescu
What does the best pizza in Sheffield taste like? Well, it's not necessarily about which one is the best pizza. It's about whether you can achieve a real, authentic Neapolitan in your restaurant. Napoli Centro achieves that and more. A Napoli style oven? They've got it. Cheese sourced from Campania? Got it. San Marzano tomatoes? Got'em. Authentic Italian ingredients? Got'em.The acidity of the tomatoes, the sweetness of the fior di latte, the freshness of the basil, and you've got the magic of pizza in less than 2 minutes, in the form of the Italian flag, as they served it on a plate to Queen Margherita in the 19th century, or as some say, as they were already making it in Napoli since the 18th century.Charred bottom, chewy dough and airy crust. It's all about the dough, and then it's not really all about the dough, because the rest of the ingredients are just as stellar. It's just that the dough is where all the knowledge and skill come into play, and what differentiates a second rate pizza, which is sadly almost all of the pizza that's not Italian pizza, from the Holy Grail.Getting a Neapolitan right is the best pizza can get. And they get it so right. That's the way it is. The only way it should be.
