Pontefino's Italian Restaurant (Gunthorpe, Nottingham)Newest Review: ... space of time between first and second course. We only had a choice of bottled drinks as the pumps were out of action, so opted for a bottle of house wine and soft drink. Restaurant was very nicely set out but felt was missing something for the windows as it felt quite bare and cold without anything. As i mentioned earlier food was excellent, but we found in one of the puddings we had ... more |

Six of us went to this restaurant for a meal on a Saturday evening in November 2009. When we arrived we were kept hanging around in reception for about 15 minutes despite being on time. We weren't even "allowed" to order drinks! Eventually we got our table. My starter of vegetables in a tomato sauce was OK but my companions were all disappointed in their choices. The main courses were terrible - all of them! My Veal Milanese could have been anything - the veal was paper thin but the breadcrumb topping was thick and greasy so that's all I could taste. A Rib-Eye steak was ordered medium-rare but was well done, two pizzas were both soggy, a spaggheti dish was greasy and the seabass was grey and tasteless. All in all absolutely terrible and none of us will be going back.

It's not every day that a new restaurant opens in a small rural Nottinghamshire village. Nor is it every day that my local shuts for a private function on an evening. However, due to the latter, and the fact that I had a craving for a great big bowl of pasta, for my Sunday evening tea, I somehow ended up at Pontefino's in Gunthorpe, Notts. Gunthorpe is actually home to three Trent waterfront restaurants, the other side of the river from my house, but nevertheless within an easy stroll. The third of these was the Anchor pub, and somewhere I had frequented only once in the last 4 years. This old pub was unable to compete with the modern ... Read the complete review
