Ilvino - East Hertfordshire

My gf and I had a great time here. The staff were really nice and the food drinks were great. The food took slightly longer to come out but it was a busy friday night.

This restaurant used to be amazing, authentic Italian food and rustic atmosphere. This was the first time we have visited since it’s re-opening, and have to say we were disappointed. Menu choice has been reduced, the starters were average as was the desert (I passed on both) and the mains were bland and lacking flavour. It’s such a shame as this was one of our favourite places to eat in Hertford. The restaurant itself feels a little soulless and whilst the staff were polite and friendly, the constant hovering around the table was off putting and intrusive. We even got asked if we would like to pay the bill twice after we had paid it but were finishing our wine. Overall, we would not recommend it this time, real shame.

Awful doesn’t even sum this up. Food was poor and there is clearly issues between management and staff. Shame.

Excellent experience! 7 of us ate here on Saturday evening. Staff were super friendly. Food was delicious. We weren't rushed to eat amd leave. We were not cajoled into buying drinks like some places. Plenty of time between each course. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I went there a few times after the re opening. Its always a lovely experience. The calamari is the best I’ve had in a long time. The pizza is always amazing (last time I’ve had the special of the day goat cheese, caramelised onions rocket and it was a delicious choice). The chicken with mushrooms and fries is also one of my favourites. The Tiramisu is very very good. Last time I had a Creme brûlée and it was delicious. It’s a lovely and cozy place. In my opinion it’s better after the refurbishment, it looks lighter and very romantic. I also really enjoyed the italian music that was playing. Will definitely keep coming back!
