Marelis Italian Diner - (Near Kent, South East)

5 /5 Karen Kelley: Very nice experience. Staff were very accommodating and extremely pleasant. My only disappointment was the desserts, my lemon souffle had very little lemon flavour. I did let them know, so hopefully they will be able to address the issue.

5 /5 Carol Wallis: We had the Italian afternoon tea today, it was amazing, great value for money. Top that with attentive, friendly staff and comfortable surroundings.....we couldnt of asked for more

5 /5 Ellie Rule: Came here today for breakfast, ordered the traditional breakfast, iced mocha and a chocolate croissant. Was the best breakfast I have ever eaten, beautifully presented and tasted gorgeous!!! The drink was also lovely very refreshing. A very warm and polite welcome from all the staff especially Paul the manager. Had a great conversation with him. I already can’t wait to come back!!!! Will be my new go to place!

5 /5 Melisa Lee: Went here today and had the calamari starter with the lasagne and carbonara. Nice food, great service. Place was clean, lovely and warm and had nice atmosphere. The menu has salads, pizza and small selection of pasta but enough for a nice lunch. My carbonara looked lovely and tasted nice as well. You have to pay in advance like the Bistrant but we’ll be back.

1 /5 Daniel: Unfortunately I have to say this is one of the worst if not the worst restaurants I’ve eaten in. We ordered olives and bruschetta to start with and it took almost 25 minutes to bring them over. The restaurant has 21 tables and only two tables were occupied. How does it take almost 25 minutes to bring over some olives especially when the restaurant is almost empty. Whilst the presentation of the bruschetta looked good it was swimming in olive oil and covered in balsamic vinegar it was not pleasant at all. The lasagne I had was foul, it tasted horrible. The pasta was so overcooked it literally dissolved as you starting eating it. It had a really horrible taste to it and the lettuce that was served with it was turning it had brown spots on it. The carbonara was also horrible. The spaghetti was swimming in a horrible cheese sauce that tasted like it was powdered cheese sauce. We couldn’t eat the food it was that bad which is a first for me. The service was also shocking. Nobody asked us if the food was ok or asked us if we wanted desserts. We just got up and left without anyone saying anything to us. They also make you pay beforehand as well which I’ve never experienced in a restaurant. Maybe they make you pay beforehand as they know the food is so bad. It’s such a shame as the interior of the restaurant looks really nice. There was a walkie talkie radio on full volume and all you could hear was the staff from the garden centre talking nonsense on it which was really annoying. £3.25 for 200ml of lemonade is also a rip off! Complete and utter waste of £42 I will never return.
