la meridiana in Guildford

Terrible experience thank goodness for good company otherwise it would of been awful!It took 4 HOURS for our group to have a quick pizza and drink after work. I understand a group booking can take longer but for 9 people you should be able to serve pizzas quicker than an hour and a half from ordering. The entirety of the restaurant had been served before us even though we were one of the first to order due to booking the table early.Once threaten by the group walking out if they couldn’t serve the food by 8.45pm (bearing in mind we had been there since 6pm) they confessed to burning the first set of pizzas. Eventually 8 out of the 9 pizzas arrived and were great nothing fancy or particularly special but by this time we were all starving. The 9th pizza then arrive burnt and rock hard unable to even get a steak knife through the dough so unfortunately had to be send back. Very quickly they then produced a replacement which was fine again nothing fancy or particularly special but sufficed.During the long wait drinks were ordered and forgotten about often needing several reminders before they brought them over.They still had the cheek to add 12.5% service charge onto the bill which was non removable. The only reason for giving this restaurant 1 star is they removed our drinks from the bill and put them on the house which was appreciated. Once it got to actually paying we had to ask several times can we pay before they eventually brought the card machine over 45 minutes later.We have been here before just 2 of us and it has always been wonderful hence the reason of coming tonight. It may just be this restaurant is not well suited to larger groups and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to a party size over 4 or 5 people.

Had the best night here, the food was out of this world!! As well, we were treated so well by all of the staff, great atmosphere and enjoyed every minute! We’ll deffo be back for more than that birthday night out!

This place is amazing! The space is elegant and cozy. The service is outstanding! To start we had delicious scallops and a pizza with a creative combination of burrata, pistachio and mortadella topping. As main course we had a tasty sea bass fish. Finally, for dessert we ate the most perfect tiramisu and panna cotta. So impressed with the restaurant. It's definitely a must go!!

Is a nice place for to go with your family, friends or for special dates. The name of this restaurant is a little bit hide... But is OK! Have a good park for many cars and all employees are nicely and helpful!! The pictures are: Salmon and Tiramisu.

Normally pretty good but valentines night, shambles. We orded steaks so fatty it wasent eatable, waiting so long to order drinks. We ask for the bill 3 times, so long we had another drink. Shame because normally pretty good

First time in this beautiful Italian restaurant and it was just wonderful. Having lived it Italy for some time I don’t tend to go to Italian restaurants in UK as often the menus are dumbed down or cater for a British audience.The menu choices are really interesting and authentic, simple but tasty offerings, and even the Pinot Grigio is proper quality! Needless to say the staff are attentive and lovely like you’d see in an Italian trattoria.The service was a bit slow but it was really busy and I’d rather that than to be rushed. Roberto and the team made everything very relaxing and pleasant.A real gem, and even we are not local we look forward to returning!

The best gluten free pizza I have ever tasted!! Amazing menu, very welcoming and beautiful ambience. Would 100% recommend and will be back very soon! If you've not been here, you're missing out!!

I've been here many times and the food is always authentic and great and the tiramisu is delicious! The people who work here are so lovely and accommodating and very special, we were even lucky to have the lovely Joe play some guitar for us! Great people and really worth the visit.

Been there tonight...Omg,what a lovely atmosphere,polite and friendly staff.The food,I have no words to describe,most delicious.Thank you for singing me birthday song on a guitar 🙏🙂.We shall come back soon.Compliments to the kitchen and all the hard working people there.

Very friendly staff and a lovely birthday meal. Accommodating and patient with a group of eight who'd been to a gin festival prior. Mussels in the starter were very small, apart from this all was lovely so will revisit for sure.
