What Peter Steinberg doesn't like about Tomassi's Ice-cream Shop:
Tomassi's used to be a lunchtime favourite of ours, and we went to lunch there today. We ordered 2 x fish and chips and 2 x soft drinks. When we were served our lunch we could not believe how small the portions and drinks were, they were child size and we left the restaurant extremely hungry. No one asked us how our meal was when paying the bill, which was £32.00. It would have cost Tomassis's 20p to put a spoonful o... View all feedback. What Abigail Cooper likes about Tomassi's Ice-cream Shop:
Monday noon and a steady stream of diners arriving...always a good sign. Clean and airy cafe. Impressive full menu but also a quick bite menu. And a huge dessert selection (so many ice creams! If you fancy a quick bite I'd recommend a panini or the full English brunch. Service was prompt and cheerful. View all feedback.

Tomassi restaurant seems to have garnered mixed reviews. While some guests were disappointed due to the decline in quality, cleanliness, and outdated decor, others had a fantastic experience with friendly staff and delicious food. The ice cream was a highlight for many, but the cleanliness of the restaurant and toilets left much to be desired. Overall, it appears that Tomassi has both loyal customers who appreciate the traditional experience and those seeking higher standards. Despite the varied opinions, the restaurant still seems to have potential for improvement and appeals to different tastes.
