Being lovers of Italy and Italian food we often find the over-anglicised versions served in restaurants in tourist areas very disappointing. The Mask of Venice has restored our faith! The choice of food is very wide, and if you are with a group of people it would be hard not to find something for everyone. We thought it might be a bit pricey but we were pleasantly surprised in that respect too, paying less than £10 each for middle-of-the-price-range mains. The food was fantastic and freshly cooked and the portions generous. The desserts were to die for (oh that pannacotta!) and the bottle of wine we ordered was very good. We had a charming Italian waiter who spoke perfectly adequate English and the service was speedy, but we didnʼt feel we were being rushed at all. The owner was lovely and friendly, and was happy to chat about Italy without making us feel that we were keeping her from her business. To respond to the review saying that the Mask is ʼchild unfriendlyʼ I would suggest that many people would agree with us that, while it is a joy to see well-behaved children enjoying good food, we donʼt wish to have our evening spoiled by screaming and disruptive ones. I applaud any restaurant for putting the comfort of the majority of its diners first. There are plenty of restaurants aimed at the family market where boisterous children can have fun and feel at home, but it is nice for those of us dining without children to get away from this. After many years of being tied to Happy Horses and Brewers Fayres because that suited us best while out children were small, it is wonderful to have the option not to have children running around whilst we eat. Overall we were absolutley delighted with this restaurant and will certainly be back for more of that gorgeous food. Thanks for making us so welcome.

Having used the same optician 10 years my son was a little concerned about using a new optician. But Alison and her staff were warm, friendly and reassuring - so much so that the rest of the family are now queuing up. I would thoroughly recommend Optika to anyone needing advice or new glasses.

I went to Dave to help him sort out my mobile phones. He made it all very easy and explained everything I needed to do as well as what were the best - and cheapest options - for me. Dave came to my office to set everything up and has sorted out any difficulty I have had throughout. I cannot praise him highly enough.

Iʼm a difficult diner to please having worked in top hotels and Italian restaurants myself and being a regular visitor to Venice itself, so Iʼm pleased to say that I enjoyed an early lunch here very much. The food was excellent value; well cooked, fresh and well-presented. The waiting staff were well dressed, jolly and professional without being overbearing. I was the first diner in and didnʼt feel as though I was intruding as so often happens. The room was spotlessly clean..yes! I checked, as were the glasses and cutlery. The house wine was good quality for its nature and served in a pretty large quantity for its price. The gap between courses was not rushed and when I asked for a little rest before coffee I think I could have waited for ages without feeling pressured, such was the relaxed feeling of the staff. As a slow eater and being used to taking two to three hours for lunch in Italy this is VERY important to me. The chef/Padrone came out to greet some friends and took the time to ask me how my food was. A common occurence maybe..but he seemed genuinely interested to find out and equally genuinely pleased that I felt it was. Value for money was excellent, given the lunchtime menu and what I pay in similar establishments. Two small things would have improved my personal experience. Some Italian music (modern or Vivaldi perhaps) rather than local radio would have increased the ambience. I like a Italian restaurant to sound Italian. Secondly, and I know this isnʼt the restaurantʼs fault, but a little attention to the ʼcurb appealʼ by getting rid of the cigarette ends outside the doorway/windows would be nice. As I say, Iʼm biased and difficult to please and Anglicised Italian cuisine can be iffy, but I was very happy with The Mask of Venice. Itʼs probably the best restaurant in the centre of town and I will be dining there again for lunch and returning to sample the evening atmosphere sometime
