    Food took 55-60 mins to arrive after being ordered, orange wine was undrinkable, service was far too relaxed

    Amazing food, great value and wonderful service by our waitress. Would definitely return, the pastas were some of the best I have ever had - on par with in Milan and Lake Como! My only comment would be that the food took a little long to come (40 mins)

    Food was great, only downside was being told from 5.55pm (we booked in at 5pm) was that we needed to be out by 6.15pm and felt like we had to rush our cocktails that we’d ordered at the end. Other than that, really good though. Maybe just worth extending table booking to 90 mins!

    The food at Onda is to die for! I’d highly recommend the beef shin pasta & the carbonara. The staff are always lovely too.

    Let’s start by saying the food was excellent. However, after being sat at the table for one hour we were explicitly told that we were required to vacate table within next 15 minutes. This felt that we were then rushing our desserts and coffees. 10 minutes later we were then asked whilst still chewing on my tiramisu if I would be ready to have the bill…. I still had half a cup of cappuccino to drink. This was extremely annoying as not only did we feel rushed but we’d waited ages to order to the point we had to ask to order. You should at least allow an hour and a half for your customers before you need to take the table back - maybe don’t take so many bookings if you can’t allow your customers to enjoy their meal. Also it was a bit cheeky they added a service charge to the bill too.

    Delicious food and fantastic service ! Highly recommended dishes include the pumpkin fritte, carbonara, pizzettas, vodka & nduja pasta, and the tiramisu.
