I went with my husband last saturday, havign failed to get a table at The Olivo. Well, never a better coincidence, we have discovered a new favourite. We had Spaguetti with seafood and Tagliatelle al bue. The pasta was perfect, the sauces full of flavour, the portions generous and the smile on the staff did the rest The selecion of... More

The food is pretty decent but as a veggie, I find the menu limited and there's too much repetition. The place lacks atmosphere which I would put down to the furnishings and layout. It really lacks intimacy. More

We discovered Shardanba about a week after it opened and love popping in for lunch or bringing friends for dinner. We have had 2 major birthday parties here and every time without exception the service and food are amazing. I love his restaurant and would encourage any-one who loves Italian food to try it. You will want to come back. More

I eat out 3-4 times a week and my favorite italian resturant in surrey is Shardana in Guildford. I like the fact that the meals are always prepared with fresh ingredients and are cooked to prefection. The staff are very welcoming, efficient and attentive and you never feel that you are being hurried, even though it offten gets very busy... More

Just meeting up with people to exchange Christmas 'Things', and booked this at the beginning of this week. We ALL agreed that it was one of the best Italian restaurants that we have eaten at, very good food, delivered by a fantastic team. I would recommend this to any one wanting to eat in Guildford, tonight it had Families when... More

Firstly, the restaurant's advertising suggests that the lunch menu is available 7 days a week but in fact it's only Monday to Friday. The standard menu prices are steep for very standard Italian food. Luckily we were allowed to choose from the Lunch menu in the end. Unfortunately the waiter had no idea what the dishes were on the menu... More

If you love Italian food, this gem of a restaurant is one for you. Tucked down a small side turning at the top of Guildford's busy main street, it can be easy to miss. The building is modern and airy with large glass windows and the name always sounds to me more Indian than Italian but the food is unmissable!... More

We came here for lunch and the service was wonderful. All the staff were friendly and the food was served promptly. It's true that the decor is a little tired but as a casual lunch place, we weren't too bothered by it. We ordered a pizza and the seafood spaghetti. The spaghetti was OK although for £12.50 I expected a... More

Have come to enjoy this restaurant over the last two years. I have always found the food to be of good quality, tasy and competatively priced. It's not the nicest in terms of decor but the staff are very warm and friendly. My only slight criticism is I find the service to be a bit slow for my liking. More

We chose to visit Shardana for lunch on a shopping trip to Guildford. The location in Bakers Yard was easy to find. We chose from the Set Lunch menu, I had the tuna and canelli bean salad to start followed by a light 4 Stagione pizza with a Peroni beer. The meal couldn't have been better in Italy! Give the...
