La Casa Vecchia & The Grey Lady

Live music and Italian food àlmost great, sadly the mixed seafood pasta which was generous in portion size came with a grilled king prawn that was very pappy in texture and not pleasant to eat, after telling the waiting staff nothing was done, the table next us complained about the same thing and we're given complimentary drinks...lack of consistency...let down what was a lovely vibrant atmosphere.

I was here for lunch on the 17th of May with 3 of my family members. I can't remember what everyone at my table had but I had the seabass which was cooked to perfection and tasted great. We had wine and coffee's too. The service was friendly and very good. We dined outside on the terrace. I myself am an old school trained chef, so appreciated the effort that was applied. Excellent experience and well done to all the staff. 😋😊

It began with our entry to the restaurant, beautiful seating area, clean and not noisy. Ordered Hummus as the starter and received a generous amount of humus but I cannot say the same for the bread. Being from Turkey, I know what to expect when it comes to humus. The humus was great, not to thick and not too soft. Great Taste! Main meal, ordered hot piri with chips and seafood paella. Beginning with the piri chicken and chips, I was left shocked both in disgust but delight. There is only one way to describe what the chicken tasted like, and that is a fusion of dry moistness. Some parts of the chicken were extremely dry whereas other parts were flavourful and juicy. The chips were soggy and overly salty. Next came the Seafood Paella which consisted of rice and peas, mussels and king prawns/small prawns. First I tried the rice and peas, it was flavourful and alive with satisfaction. After that, I decided to try the mussels which bursted with flavour. Lime went great with it. The King prawns and small prawns were nothing special, just your average prawns. Overall 7/10 at a push, although I must admit customer service was great. Definitely advise going here if your with friends or family and are looking for a nice meal.
