Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I tried to book by email and received no response, so had to phone. Over the telephone, I said that we would like to use the Meerkat 2 for 1 offer and they confirmed that this would be fine. We found that the food was...pricey and a bit disappointing. For example, the meat was not very tender. They also charged for bringing bread to the table. At the end of the meal, they said they had no record of us mentioning the 2 for 1 offer. It was an awkward exchange in which it was left as our word against theirs and we had to pay full price. It was a disappointing experience all round and I could not recommend going here.More

We went for an early dinner at Caravaggios after a Friday afternoon spent at a local immersive experience and found the food and wine menu very good, followed up with excellent food and service. Staff were very friendly, personable, attentive and the price very reasonable...for location and today’s market. Definitely recommend.More

Amazing food friendly service. Great atmosphere. Good price for fine dining. Be willing to try things that you wouldn’t necessarily try. Everything is delicious. They accommodated our large group with kids. Very nice experience.

My first visit but pretty impressed. Not the cheapest exactly but good quality decor and food. Staff all pleasant but 1 of them was probably new to waiting, as he started to clear the hors d'oeuvres while 1 of us was still eating.

The pasta was delicious, really lovely authentic Italian food! Couldn’t recommend it enough, definitely worth a try! Nothing was too much...for the staff, they were so accommodating, beautiful restaurant and lovely staff…5 stars!!More

I visited for the first time today for a work lunch. Unfortunately the staff seated our guests at a totally different table so we lost at least 20 minutes over lunch trying to locate them. It was difficult to get the waiters attention to order...drinks as we were seated upstairs in the corner and when we did, it felt a little rushed. Appreciate potentially understaffed. However they did accommodate my vegan dish and the rest of the group enjoyed their mains and desserts. Small recommendation would be to add a vegan option on the menu in the future if possible.More

We selected this restaurant due to its proximity to our hotel and the reviews and were not disappointed. We arrived around 7pm and we definitely felt a bit underdressed in our jeans (open table said smart casual) as most of the clientele inside looked like...business or special occasion customers but were still seated right away. The restaurant was pretty busy but the staff was attentive and took care of us as a team. The food was delicious and it very much reminded us of dining in Italy as nothing was rushed. Would definitely go back and perhaps dress a little nicer to reflect the elegant atmosphere.More

Food and wine was excellent, we brought clients for dinner and they were also very impressed. The gentleman who took care of our table upstairs was genuinely friendly and attentive, very happy with the service.

Lovely Italian food served in an elegant setting. Surprisingly inexpensive for the City. Service was friendly and efficient. Visited for dinner on a relatively quiet Monday evening and suspect it is the sort of place which would be quite noisy if full.

We could not fault our 1st visit here. The service was wonderful (ok, we were the only ones here that day so wouldn't expect anything else) and the food fantastic. I would've liked more of the star anise jus with my duck but only because...it was so yummy.More

We wanted a nice please to have a lunch, catch up and eat some good food, and chose Caravaggio as we’d been before. It’s quite a formal restaurant and generally plenty of city types in suits in there, even on a Friday. Service is good...and the food is always nice, and if you like wine they have some good accompanying choices. We had a shared started of carpaccio beetroot and goat cheese which was nice and salty, and then a steak and cod dish. All the food was well cooked and nicely presented. Desserts were very nice and recommended!More

I like this restaurant as it’s close to my office and Usually this is excellent but had a business lunch there last week and missed the mark on the food side as my guests fish was over cooked. He did ask for medium rare and...it arrived very much medium. Restaurant was busy but by the time the waiter got to ask as to how the meal was we had both started the meal and would not have had the time to send back his plate (and then mine as well as was not going to eat while my guest was waiting for food). My pasta was good. Table location by the window was great, ambiance also enjoyable. City prices as you would expect.More

Appreciate the comment usually excellent but regret that this time we seem to have overcooked his guests fish. Fish should never be overcooked and normally the only request for cooking times is with tuna. Shame that we did not know at the time. Apologies

Popped in at lunchtime and had a nice bit of fish and splash of red. Soon filled up with men in suits and ridiculous ties. Was expecting a few of Caravaggio’s paintings on the wall but it wasn’t to be.
