    Fantastic food and Service! Beautiful dining room. Thanks for an amazing & friendly experience. Had the Veal rare with garlic & rosemary potatoes. My daughter had the oven brick margarita pizza w/ham. Both excellent dishes.

    So absolutely disappointed. Our server, alejendra was great. But our food was so so disappointing. We were told that we were lucky to get a seat, only 8 tables were taken, 70 percent of the tables were empty. No seasoning apart from a little seasoning. My starter was frozen salmon, smelling somewhat similar to Catfood, full of water but still tasted dry. Bread not warmed or toasted whatsoever. Main, no flavor apart from lemon juice. Presentation was nil. And atmosphere was very poor, all casual wear, hats and sandals on. guy beside us was watching family guy, very loudly on his phone. No background music, children screaming. Extremely casual dining. For somewhere that's rated a double a rosetta, so so disappointed. Really poor start to our holiday. Went back to our room and ate pringles.

    Huge and delicious pizzas with an excellent crust. Pasta was very good not overcooked. Time dragged between courses, other than that, excellent meal.

    This place is SHOCKING!!! Pablo the restaurant manager should learn hospitality. We also waited for nearly an hour for both starters and also mains. The women behind the bar was also extremely rude. You are working in a restaurant DO BETTER. Wouldn’t recommend.

    Arrived 1/2 hour before closing time, I thought we were “welcomed” by the bouncer, no, it was the restaurant “manager”, never been treated so rudely in a restaurant, I think this person and I have a different opinion about what the word hospitality means, a great bouncer for pub but certainly not a restaurant manager . There are many ways to tell your potential clients they only have 1/2 hour to eat, obviously that person does not seems to have the necessary manners and training necessary to work in hospitality… this is probably the last time we are staying in the Clayton

    It's a really good and smart restaurant, but has also an excellent value for money. I had an vegetarian pizza, with was quite delicious and big. The staff is friendly and courteous. I will visit it again and can highly recommend it.

    Delicious pizza and some really nice pastas. Several good dessert options. Really enjoyed the food. The only drawback was the wait between courses was a bit long and we had to ask for the desert menu when we were given the cheque. The service was a bit slow but excellent food.

    Shocking level of service for dinner. A €34 Steak was not only unseasoned but was not even seared. What they try to pass off as Carbonara is an insult to an entire nation. It tasted like instant custard powder. The pasta was undercooked and again unseasoned.

    I get that this place is only an airport hotel restaurant but that being said it is way overpriced for what it is. Most of the items on the menu you can make for way cheaper at home and have taste significantly better. Save your money and grab some fast food from next door, it would probably be better quality.

    We had two very friendly servers and one grumpy escort lady at arrival. The food was really nice, I had a special mocktail request as I do not drink alcohol. For the money you get nice food, tasty and lovely representation. I wish they would have gluten free options for pasta. But it is a great place to have a casual dinner.

    Extremely bad service, waiting over half an hour for a beer and a glass of wine when no one else was in here dining. Ordered our food before the restaurant filled up and watched other tables getting their food while they came in more then half an hour after us. Not impressed at all.

  • 4/5 Luke B. 1 year ago on Google
    We got in late and Stefan was prompt and attentive. The pizza was delicious, salads and bruschetta were perfect appetizers and the dessert was excellent. Given the late hour, the incredible service was appreciated and we were glad to have this option right in the hotel.

    Really slow service. Waited for a long time to get the food. The price was high but the food quality was not low. My medium rare steak was well done. The portion was really small. Not worth it. Better to grab a taxi and go eat somewhere else.

    Really enjoyed this place! Pasta and garlic breads were amazing. Priced as you'd expect for a hotel restaurant but really great Italian dishes. Service was slow but friendly. I'd recommend it if you're craving Italian.

    Tried both salmon pasta and salmon with salsa rosa , both were nice. Salmon was perfectly cooked and flavoured nicely. Restaurant ambiance is perfect. Deserts were also nice. Do try chocolate pudding.

  • 2/5 Scott M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very small portions. There's really no excuse for scrimping on pasta. If you have any apatite, be sure and order at least one side with your main course. I had a 15 euro carbonara and left still feeling quite hungry.

    Appetizing food appearance with resonable price.

  • 4/5 Ciaran C. 2 years ago on Google
    Got the meal deal package when I booked the Hotel for 1 night and the food was nice but a very limited menu. Would have preferred a greater choice and probably didn't save much if any money at all! Very nice ambiance in the restaurant with very nice staff and service was good!!
