La Villa - Sutton

When we arrived we were shown to our table and everything seemed alright, service was a little slow, but it was a Saturday night. On trying to catch up with friends and hear what they had been up too over the last couple of months this was extremely difficult 1. Due to the noise of the other guests 2. The restaurant has terrible acoustics 3. The grease soundtrack was being played so loud! Another table twice had to ask for the restaurant to turn the music down as they seemed to turn it up as the conversations in the restaurant got louder. I think you’d have a better conversation in a nightclub! The food was good, however having bits of a smashed plate in one tapas dish you would have thought 1. They would replace the dish 2. Offer some form of compensation as said smashed plate did enter my mouth but no! Nothing was offered and we had to ask. On the bill being taken back all that was offered was the removal of the discretionary service charge. As you can probably guess we won’t be returning and will be telling all our friends and family in the local area of our experience. Also I will be reporting the restaurant to food hygiene as if a child had swallowed said chipped plate it could have been very different outcome. AVOID!!!

As usual another fantastic time at La Villa. We were part of a Christmas party at La Villa on 22nd December at lunch time. The food was excellent the service was amazing and we all had a great time. Will be back and would definitely recommend the restaurant.

We sat down in the centre of the restaurant. which was full. a variety of couples groups. as expected, the groups were chatting, which made it difficult to hear our group as a chat. Then there was an added ‘background’ music to the restaurant- so was more difficult to hear the ‘chat’ from our table. the food was delicious, but delay between courses.

Pleasant surroundings, reasonable quality of food not really for vegetarians, as many of those options were deep fried. Sea food was tasty, as were the ham and cheese options. Service was a little immature and the ambient temperature was cold. It works out at more than £55 per head with wine.

Me and my husband went to La Villa to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Having been several times before we knew how good the restaurant was and we were not disappointed. The quality of the food, wine and service is very good. We chose tapas and...
