Piacere Cafe - (Near , london)

lukasz k We visited M&C in Portsmouth for a birthday dinner—it was our first time at this location, though we’ve been to the Bristol one before. The building looks great from the outside, but the real surprise is the interior. It’s fresh, cosy, and very welcoming. We were served by the lovely Maria, who made us feel right at home. She was fantastic throughout the evening! We ordered drinks, starters, and mains, and everything arrived promptly—drinks first, then our starters shortly after. We had halloumi fries and calamari, both absolutely delicious. About 20 minutes later, our mains arrived: a juicy medium-rare wagyu steak, sea bass, and a rump steak for our little one. Every dish was bursting with flavour. We might have gone overboard with the sides, but they were too tempting to resist. Overall, outstanding service, wonderful food, and a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be coming back!

Richard Wilson The service here is excellent, and the staff are always willing to give their customers tips on the best Thai food to eat. We had a selection of tapas, along with a golden Thai chicken curry. The best dishes, by far, were the Golden curry and prawn drunken noodles. The curry tasted like it was made from scratch and was full of subtle spices. The noodles, too, were beautifully spiced and made a great accompliment to virtually all of the main dishes. One slight letdown was the Thai pork salad; the meat was quite dry and really chewy. We had eaten this here before previously and the pork had been tender and moist. Another not so great dish was the sweet and sour pork skewers. These were overcooked and somewhat burnt. The chicken satay sauce was delightful, although somewhat disappointingly, the meatballs were no more than ok, lacking any real depth in Asian flavours. Being a bit picky, the restaurant is very hot during the summer months, with only a free standing fan and no air-conditioning. That said, overall, this was a really nice place to eat Thai food and I am looking forward to returning here soon. Update: we went back to Mango today and a big shout out to Beth, who also looked after us last time. She not only remembered our drinks order from several weeks ago, but she also recalled that our Thai pork salad wasnt great. This time she was sure that it would be so much better, and in fact it was excellent, as were our other dishes. Because of Beths excellent service and fabulous meals this time, I have upgraded my rating of Mango Thai Tapas from 4 stars to 5 stars.

Leora k Such a treat!!! We opted for the £27/pp veggie feast and we were so stuffed at the end of the meal AND there was enough for us to each take a box to go! I love when I get to eat delicious food for an affordable price. The staff was also excellent! Our waters were constantly refilled, service was speedy and friendly, and they helped us pull of a birthday dessert for our friend! I will definitely be back!

Philippa Ford Yum! Lunch Bento box with tofu, teriyaki salmon and seaweed salad was just delicious. It was the servers recommendation. Well priced too.

Bismah Irfan When I came in, it wasnt too busy. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were colossal. I am grateful for the hefty amount and felt like a small child being treated especially with the mcdonalds style fries. Staff is really polite and always making an effort and keeping the store up to standard. A real gem in quiet Crawley. Something we need.
