Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The standout dishes at Sambuca include their delicious Rib-eye steak and the comforting Lasagna Al Forno. Diners rave about the great selection of beers and cocktails, making it a perfect spot for unwinding after a long day. The value for money truly impresses, with a two-course meal for just £12.95, ensuring that both quality and economy come together seamlessly.
The inviting atmosphere garners special appreciation. It feels like a home away from home, where laughter and joyous chatter fill the space. Families adore the friendly service as the staff often go above and beyond to accommodate special requests. Overall, it's a blend of quality food, friendly service, and a delightful vibe that keeps patrons returning.
Most Disliked
One common piece of feedback is about the wait times; during peak hours, particularly Thursday evenings, tables can be in high demand. Some diners reported feeling a bit rushed during busy nights, as the influx of customers can make the atmosphere feel slightly cramped. A few patrons also noted that while the quality is high, they’d love to see more variety in vegetarian and vegan options.
Additionally, on days when reservations are hard to come by, visitors might be disappointed if they don't secure a table in advance. It’s advisable to book well in advance to avoid missing out on this popular spot.

My first visit with friends after work, and I was blown away with the service, value, quality of food, and a great atmosphere. This place was packed on a Thursday night, and I can see why. £12.95 for a two course meal is fantastic, served with a choice of good value extras, and cool Peronni on draught. I would highly recommend this place, and I shall be returning soon.

Incredibly welcoming. One of the kids twisted my arm into going for an Italian on night after school. I’d heard good things about Sambuca from my family and looked forward to the visit. The food was very nice, we both had a great time but the thing that made the whole experience worth the review was the wholesome and genuinely warm atmosphere. The dude running the restaurant was really friendly and welcoming. There were happy family scenes all across the place and it really felt like something from a movie.

Finally a restaurant with great food that doesn't charge a fortune! Two courses for £12.95 and the food is FANTASTIC. Proper good Italian food and wonderful service. You will need to book because this place sells out every night. You won't regret it!

Update: Visited here again recently and it was just as good as the previous visit. Great early bird offer with great value! Excellent find. The food is amazing and the staff are nice and friendly. Very well priced for today's cost of living. I had the Sambuca Special Pizza and it was one of the best I've had, even the mixed salad was on another level. Cannot recommend this place enough!
