Cafe Arighi At Arighi Bianchi

I arranged to meet a friend here and our plan was coffee and then lunch and then maybe another coffee. The young lady who greeted me was very pleasant. When my friend arrived, we explained that we hoped to have a coffee and a lunch a little later, followed by another drink and she was very patient and accommodating. Our drinks were fine but I am not sure I saw any sizable difference between the two cappuccino sizes on offer (I had both) and the food we had was fine (the smashed avocado), the soft egg was delicious, although the bruchetta was quite hard. The staff were definitely a good reflection of the cafe and the food was fine but if I have one negative comment, it has to be about the dreadful plastic greenery everywhere. It was just awful and certainly did nothing to create a pleasant atmosphere. It looked tacky and is just a dust trap. Nothing would be better than what is there but just 2 or 3 large, live plants would create a much better ambiance.

What was just going to be a quick lunch turned into something so much nicer. My Husband had fish and chips and I had burger and chips but we added a lovely Rose Prosecco.. it was such a lovely atmosphere and everything was perfect, so perfect that we booked breakfast for the next day while we were there! Breakfast was wonderful and well worth the price.. I definitely recommend the homemade baked beans. A quick mention for the lovely young man who looked after us both times I think his name is Bjorn) he is an absolute asset to the business. Beautifully polite and attentive without being ‘too much’ thank you for a great experience

Enjoyed an excellent lunch with family, staff and food very good. The cakes were delicious, will be going again very soon.

A return visit here was a disappointment after a previously positive experience. Found food to be overpriced and unimaginative although we had very friendly service which is to be commended.

Visited for lunch with friends and a wander round the furniture displays. Every member of staff we came across throughout the whole establishment was friendly, approachable and helpful. The food we had was tasty and plentiful the cobb salad was really tasty, the tuna melt and the hash in a skillet were thoroughly enjoyed by my friends. Providing a bottle of tap water on arrival is a nice touch. The table service was excellent the quality and attitude of waiting staff can make or break an experience regardless of how good the food is. Your staff are a great asset!! We’ve been before and will be back again thank you!
