La Gondola

Super, super little Italian place hidden away right in the centre of Sheffield. Been many times before, will be back many times. Staff are absolutely lovely, food is delicious and extremely reasonably priced. Been here in a couple, in a group of four, for a family birthday, as a work team social… Never disappoints!

My friend and I called in without a booking, but we were accommodated without a problem. The meal was lovely and plentiful and the wine was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient. We will definitely be returning.

We love La Gondola! If we decide on Italian, it's usually this one. Very nice, friendly staff, fast service and the food is beautiful, very good value. The decor is ready for updating but don't let that put you off, the food is amazing!

Bit to garlicky for me. Something else might have been nicer. I had the calzone.Toilets could do with a bloody good sort out...toilet brush needs throwing away.Just was a bit sad compared to what it used to be a few years ago

1. The waiter was great, really friendly had a good conversation and felt welcomed.2. The food however is bad. The deal was two dishes for £17.00 which is a pretty good deal and I don’t expect the world. I had muscles to start, these weren’t too bad but I’m certain they come from a packet and heated in the microwave, which isn’t what I expect at a restaurant. I ordered the seafood risotto, now this was terrible. Firstly, the king proem was warm on the outside and cold on the inside which is dangerous and therefore suggesting it’s either frozen and heated or not cooked properly. The squid in this dish was awful like rubbery and inedible. The sauce was watery and tasteless and therefore really even though it appears to be a good deal the food is rubbish so not worth it.3. I hate to leave a bad review but here’s what I think. The menu needs simplifying, it does not need 25 plus dishes. Ten made dishes really well and rather than 25 plus poorly. Use fresh foods and therefore charge more. Update the menus they are very old. Update the interior slightly, it has a nice look in the restaurant perhaps replace the wallpaper and take out the multicoloured napkins it is an outdated look.Hopefully some improvements will be made and see you soon.

Not bad food with average service!Unfortunately, we received food that we didn't order but was too hungry to argue.Only one waiter and I presume with the speed of the food, one chef.Not much of an atmosphere, but there were a few people dining.The place is quite run down, dated, and needs redecorating.

There is plenty to rave about: the food, the speed of service and not unreasonable prices but where are all the other customers? At least you are never bothered by other people’s annoying conversations! Just remember: the proprietor invests in the food quality not the wallpaper.

Such a lovely authentic Italian restaurant, attentive but not fussy waiter, well made authentic food. Always enjoy coming, thank you :)

Just walked in on quite a busy Saturday night but was seated immediately. Friendly and attentive table staff. I had vegetarian pizza and partner had vegetarian calzone. Delicious and good size portions. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that the toilets really could do with sprucing up. Clean but floor tiles missing in the ladies cubicle and the seat's seen better days. Still, a lovely evening with a vibrant atmosphere. Thank you.
