    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.

    It's an amazing place to eat! We shared pumpkin frittes, which were delicious along with a pepperoni pizzetta, carbonara, vodka pasta, and beef ragu! All of it was so delicious! The Limoncello Spritz were great, as was the lager! We finished our night with the famous Tiramisu for dessert, which definitely met the hype that we have seen on Instagram! Staff were friendly and helpful and made recommendations as it was our first visit! The venue is gorgeous, and the music playlist was right up our street! The atmosphere was perfect, and it was lovely to see the chefs in action, too! We have already said we will be back and definitely will be recommending to all our friends!

    Food beautiful. Had 2 children with us and they loved the food as much as all the adults nothing was left. Totally understand that food brought to table when ready and is fab for all dishes just when came to dessert we all had desserts but with they came at different times some had finished before everyone got theirs. Then think service charge should be left off and people tip what want. But would definitely go again!!
