    We noticed the restaurant had undergone a large refurbishment and thought we would try it out, previously we always found the staff and owners of Al Gatto Nero to be really friendly and the venue had a homely feel. Made our reservation via their website...More

    THIS RESTURANT HAS CLOSED DOWN

    This is now Cavallo Nero Italian restaurant the food is good , manager is rude ,the place has been refurbished using scaffold boards , so the walls on the outside have 5-10mm gaps which let draughts in.

    Appalling service

    Appalling service will ruin your meal. The food was okay but nothing more than that but the inability to provide the basic service upset the party I was with. A booked table for 5 should be set for 5, when a drink is ordered (twice)...More
