La Mancha

Food was lovely although the service was SO slow. We were sat for 20mins before we were offered drinks, even then we had to call our waiter over. Throughout our 2 course evening meal we were served by 4 different people! Maybe this is the itallian way, long lingering meals but this is not for everybody.
Would be nice to have some bread on the table a you sit down (the restaurant did used to offer this) — other than that enjoyed the food.

After my parents had a very good value and tasty lunch at La Mancha (formerly called La Fiorentina, now under new management) we decided to book it for a large family party, serving 20ish adults and 6 kids.
The restaurant has a private dining room upstairs which we had arranged to use, so as to not disturb other lunch customers on the Sunday in November when the party took place. However, on arrival we found ourselves downstairs in the main restaurant, with our enormous and somewhat noisy table dominating the whole dining room! This was a bit disappointing but the staff made up for it with their friendly service and well-​priced delicious food. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the ingredients; the beef was especially good.
We would definitely go back.
