rob123 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Just opened, Azzurri (I think) more or less opposite Yankees, has anyone been yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tine.S. Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Azzurri restaurant on 371 Ecclesall Road was reviewed in the paper today. Azzurri atmosphere helps to banish the winter blues It says: "(..)The food must improve if Azzurri is going to compete with the current influx of Italian restaurants (...)" Has anyone else been? What was the food like? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Not been yet because I wasn't a fan of Santinos, but after the reports I've had of the new place it doesn't sound encouraging. That's not much of a review is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It doesn't look very inviting either. Does Eccy Rd need another Italian restaurant? IMO, what it needs is a few more laid back eateries that aren't chain pubs (Varsity etc) The revamped Lescar seems nice, the food was fab when I tried it before xmas. Sorry, not exactly a review I know, but a relevant point maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Is it run by the same people who ran Santinos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollyipop Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Is it run by the same people who ran Santinos? No, run by some people who used to have a restaurant in mansfield apparently. Not been yet, but already heard stories which wern't great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missymarsbar Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Went there just after new year....I eat out quite a bit and unfortunately, this place isn't up to it. There was good service from a Portuguese chap and the decor isn't bad, but everything else was way below par. I ordered a steak diane - which I have to say, isn't rocket science to cook...unfortunately, the meat tasted like is was about to go off - it had that fruity kind of taste - not good!

lobster Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 had the misfortune to eat there last night , there was hardly anyone in ,took an age to get served and the meal certainly wasn't worth waiting for when we eventually got it . how they could ruin a simple grilled stake is beyond me,. dont think i will be going again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanjah26 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Me and my boyfriend visited on a Tuesday evening, there was us and a table of 4 in yet service was poor (the waitor appeared to never have served a table ever before!) The main meal I chose was out of stock so I had to choose something else with the waitor stood over me, very uncomfortable! The atmosphere was awful, if it wasn't the loud 70s pop songs it was the phone ringing every two minutes with the host chatting away on it. I had the bruschetta for starters which was OK but could have been made myself! My main meal actually got sent back, I have never done this before and eat almost everything but it tasted awful. The fish smelt strongly (sign of going off) and the mash potato tasted like smash! We were comped for my main meal thankfully. We declined dessert and was then given the table of 4s bill, you think with two tables in they could get that right! They should invest more money in quality of food and service instead of the massive wide screen television they have when you walk in, hardly authentic for an Italian! Avoid like the plague or go to McDonalds :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
