Caffe Uno in general

This is a lovely little Italian restaurant which I think is part of a large chain. They tend to have offers on at lunchtime so that you can get 2 courses for about £8, which is pretty good compared to most of the restaurants in Hertford. The atmosphere is really relaxed, and whilst the decor isn't the nicest in Hertford, you definetely feel welcome there. The food is typical Italian dishes, carbonara, pizzas, spaghetti, lasagne. It is really delcious, you get huge portions (so if you go there for lunch you won't need any dinner!) and you definitely leave satisfied. The normal (i.e. not on the deal) prices are really reasonable as well, two of you ...  Read the complete review

This is a huge chain restaurant with cafe's (well restaurants really) all over the UK so you know what you're getting with this company which is good. They sell a wide selection of pizza/pasta dishes along with meat and fish dishes and risottos and have a good deal on a lunch menu where you can spend £7.95 (between 12 and 5) and get 2 courses (with a choice between starters, mains and desserts on a restricted menu). On the a la carte menu, dishes vary between £4.95 (for a margherita or a Penne Arrabbiata) and £14.95 (for steak) so there is something for all budgets. The service here is adequate although can go down hill when they are very full for have a large party ...  Read the complete review

Caffe Uno (yes it is spelt with 2 f`s) is an Italian style cafe restaurant, decorated in a fairly rustic style with wooden tables and wicker chairs (they may not sound too comfy but they actually are) and a bar area from behind which drinks are served, there is no seating at the bar so it gives an impression of being classy rather than having drunks propping the bar up. The restaurant serves a selection of pizza and pasta dishes, as well as meat and fish but even the fish is done to Italian styles and recipes. There is as many as 30 main dishes to choose from in all and some of them are suitable for vegetarians, the vegetarian meals are highlighted clearly on ...  Read the complete review

It was a Thursday evening just after pay da. Duskman and I had met for a drink after work and I could not be bothered cooking. The idea was a cheap and cheerful meal out. A nice bowl of pasta would hit the spot exactly. Manchester has a number of reasonable independent Italian restaurants and pizzerias. However we decided on Caffé Uno which is part of a chain. I had been past it plenty of times but had never eaten there. I chose it because I thought the name café made it sound reasonable value. The Manchester City Centre branch is in a prime location facing the Town Hall on Albert Square. It’s usually buzzing in the summer with its cosmopolitan outdoor ...  Read the complete review

University has taught me so much. I’ve learnt how to sleep any time of day in any place, where to find the cheapest Warburtons in town and how to make seemingly understandable notes from lectures given by professor types who only appear to know a smattering of English. The most important thing I’ve realised though, is that there’s more to Italian Restaurants than just the Tiggis I grew up with. -- The Background -- Over the last 5 or 6 months, Quy and I seem to have spent a lot of time eating, and 99% of those occasions have been in Italian restaurants. There’s Michelangelos (which I’m not writing an op on since he ...  Read the complete review
