"It was my first visit with friends on a Saturday evening. We made reservations as it 's a small venue. The food was fabulous and filling, meaning there was no room for dessert. I opted for the TORTELLONI BOLOGNESE Pockets of fresh pasta packed with a savoury meat filling accompanied with bolognese sauce. The facilities were very good and clean. There are steps up to the seating area, and the restrooms are located beyond and to the rear of the venue. There 's outdoor seating available for the adventurous alfresco eaters.

"I have used the Ruen loads pre COVID and not only is the food excellent but the service was second to none. We visited for the first time since COVID recently and the good news is the food has not suffered at all. We had a delicious meal and as good as it always was. The staff were, are and continue to be really lovely however service pre COVID was like a military operation so precise and organised. Not quite as good this time. Drinks took a little while to arrive and simple things were just not quite right for example hot plates brought and put down for the mains which had gone cool by time the food arrived, had to ask for cutlery for mains, this wouldn’t have happened pre COVID. Don’t take this review wrong it is a great restaurant food excellent staff lovely I highly recommend it, however it’s lost a bit of its precise service. I suspect that it is operating on reduced staffing at present which might explain it but otherwise a delicious meal and really friendly staff as always and we will defo be back. It would be 6 stars from me if old service precision returns!"

"The food at this restaurant is delightful with plenty of options to choose from. The service is top-notch, making it a great spot for a lunch outing. The price per person ranges from £80 to £90, but it is well worth it for the quality of food and service. I highly recommend trying the Pad Thai, Belly Pork Prawn Stir Fry, and Tom Yum for a delicious meal. The atmosphere is also lovely, earning a 5-star rating in my book."

"We went to Mamma's Restaurant 3/9/23 for lunch around 1:30pm. We ordered 2 senior citizens lunches, which consists of small fish and chips, mushy peas a slice of bread and butter and a pot of tea. The pot of tea arrived within a few minutes. Our son joined us and ordered Scampi and chips a portion of gravy and a can of pop. His meal and drink arrived within 10 minutes and he began to tuck in, ours had not yet arrived. A further 5 to 10 minutes later my wife's fish and chips arrived and she tucked in, mine had still not arrived. When my wife was half way through her meal, mine finally arrived, at which point I asked if we could have the bread and butter which was part of the meal deal, we waited and my wife had actually finished her meal when we asked again for the bread and butter and were told it was on its way. We waited, the same member of staff who assured me the bread and butter was on its way then brought and served the meals to the table next to us. I asked again for the bread and butter, which finally came after about another 5 minutes. By this time my wife and son had finished eating and I was almost finished. The food was good, but the service was absolutely atrocious and at a cost of almost £37 for the 3 of us, is unacceptable. Unfortunately I will not eat here again and would not recommend to anyone I know to do so, after our experience."

"We visited this restaurant last night and were thoroughly impressed. Initially, our table reservation was for later than we would have liked, but they called us as soon as a table was available so we could come earlier - a nice touch. The staff were welcoming and it was clear that they enjoyed their work. The girl who took our drink order was very pleasant (sorry, we didn't catch her name). Our waitress for the evening, Evie, was an absolute asset to the restaurant - polite, friendly, and attentive, as were all the staff. The food was excellent - the garlic mushrooms were the best I've ever had, and my partner enjoyed meatballs in a delicious tomato sauce. I opted for the sea bass, which was absolutely gorgeous and served with perfectly cooked roast vegetables. My partner had the spaghetti bolognese, which was also cooked to perfection and very tasty. We had garlic pizza as a side and were too full for dessert! The restaurant was full when we arrived, but the atmosphere was not too noisy. The table spacing was ideal, so we didn't feel cramped. The open cooking area allowed us to see the chefs at work. We will definitely be back soon - we highly recommend this place."
