"We have visited Puccinis over several decades but sadly I think this one will be our last. The front of house service was faultless with attentive staff but unfortunately the same cannot be said for most of the food which was served to our family group. The garlic bread, which has always been legendary, was served with virtually raw, mouth burning garlic. My mother ordered fresh scallops which came drowned in a sauce that masked any flavour from the four tiny scallops. Surely given the price tag of this dish the chef could have thought of a better way to cook and present scallops. Two of our group ordered pate which was obviously not homemade and came with a very poorly presented bit of salad namely iceberg lettuce, reminiscent of something from the 1970 's, and a few slices of burnt cheap white baguette. It 's the lack of attention to detail in the presentation and the use of cheap produce that was such a disappointment. Why is an Italian restaurant not using proper ciabatta and better quality salad produce ? The seafood linguine, which has always been a favourite of my family, was destroyed by the use of the same nameless sauce and a mountain of pasta. In the past this dish was wonderfully fresh and tasty but now it just feels as though the same slimy sauce is being used to cover everything. I normally don 't like to post bad reviews but hopefully Michael will read this and do something about the standard of the food being served as it is not representative of Puccini 's long standing great reputation."

"I ordered food from Love Balti online and I was informed the food would arrive within 1 hour. I had specifically requested that the food was delivered to the door because I am currently shielding due to Covid-19. I received a call from the driver to say that he was downstairs and I needed to go and collect the food. I politely asked the driver if he could bring the order to the door as I am in a flat and unable to go out at the moment. At this point the driver interrupted me and said You have 2 minutes to come and collect your order or I will take it back . I was shocked at the response I got and kindly asked again if he could bring it up and he refused, telling me he was going back to the restaurant and I needed to speak to the manager. I rang the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager and yet again I was met with very aggressive and abusive language. I tried to explain to the manager the situation I was in but he was not interested and told me I needed to speak to Uber eats about the delivery. He then proceeded to hang up the phone, I have since tried to contact the restaurant and the driver regarding a refund for the food I have not received (over 2 hours after ordering it) but to no avail. I would strongly recommend that anyone who is thinking of ordering, just avoids this place all together. The manager as he likes to call himself is a disgrace and should really reconsider the position he is in since he clearly lacks people skills."
