Talbot Green Trattoria Italian

I would not recommend this place. A very cold, aloof ,arrogant and unwelcoming reception from what I assume was the head waiter. Very skinny bloke who should never work in customer service. The young staff who took the orders and served the food were very good though. Unfortunately they seem to want you out of the place before you even get started. Had the Arancini, Rice balls stuffed with beef ragu for starters. It was warmish, tasted Ok but NO sign of any beef! Would be Ok for vegetarians. Had the rump steak and vegetables for main course. Quite chewy steak and just a few vegetables. Nothing to write home about. Nothing. I had the misfortune of meeting a very miserable head chef when I visited the toilet. Again another one who should never work in customer service. Everything is really rushed. It operates more like a factory canteen not a restaurant. They need to get the headchef and the head waiter out of the place and rethink about what customers want. They are resting on their laurels. The rushed experience was overpriced and low quality with appaling manners from senior staff.

It was Beaujolais Day. 8 of us booked to go at 12noon on 16Nov. It was beautifully presented . The 2 course meal was really superb with the wine. After that there was music which got our feet tapping. All of us danced till 6pm.

Ate here early Saturday evening again and for the third visit in the last few months the food was fabulous. Service was quick, efficient and seemed effortless. Nothing to disappoint at all. I highly recommend a visit.

Chiara was fantastic with the service everytime we come here she is so kind and polite and i love how professional she is. her service is quick, always serving with a smile and everything is done to effortless perfection with her, shes a natural. and shes walks around the table to avoid hot drinks and food with my baby, very rare you get that from table service. Couldnt ask for more. Excellent experience. And I've been here more than one. And will be coming back again. If you go to order food ask for Chiara to serve you as you cant go wrong. (Sophie) Chiara absolutely delightful, very professional lady, extremely pleasant. Service is professional and friendly. Warm hearted and loving and caring Beautiful soul. Beautiful personality (Julia)

This is a great place to eat, the food, staff and atmosphere are first class. A little bit of Italy on our doorstep.
