La Meridiana - Guildford

Was staying in the local area for a family visit to Chessington World of Adventure and identified the restaurant from other positive reviews. Food options were very good, with the specials at the front of the menu. Between us we ordered a mixture of pasta pizza dishes all of which were expectional. My eldest claimed it was the best pizza he'd ever had whilst my youngest's spaghetti bolognese was one of the best I'd tasted. The cocktail menu had good options, the mojito being very good (and I'm fussy about mojitos). Only the kids had dessert but they were more than happy with the ice cream selection. The staff were very attentive and seemed to take time to speak with all diners. Even the chefs kept the kids entertained, pulling silly faces at them from the kitchen window. Would happily return and recommend.

This restaurant offers authentic Italian cuisine for those looking for a traditional experience, but also caters to those who enjoy a English twist on Italian dishes.

Absolutely Delicious food, the best authentic Italian outside of Italy! We sat outside in the front garden on warm summers night, watching the world go by. Service was prompt, polished but not intrusive- exactly how it should be. Outstanding few hours, can’t wait to do it all again. 2nd visit this year as this is fast becoming the No1 choice as you cannot fault it.

We had dinner here on a Saturday. The place has a very good vibe and faint music at the background. I ordered the carbonara and my husband ordered the quattro stagioni pizza. We loved both. Price is quite reasonable. We came back the following day to have the Sunday roast. I had the lamb; hubby had the beef. We were so happy with our food and how these were cooked and served. We also had the Abruzzo wine with it. For dessert, we had the profiteroles and affogato. Both are so yummy, but I so like the profiteroles; I think it the best I had in my life so far! We were looked after by such lovely staff. Jose who was very friendly and accommodating; Maria who was a charming lady and very attentive. One of the staff also played the guitar really well…he should be a permanent feature! No wonder this restaurant was full of people in both occasions we were there. It is such a gem for this village. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again!

I am very disappointed with the restaurant at the caravan and camping club where I am staying. I had a bad experience and learned a lot about this trip. I might not come back. The attitude of the restaurant staff was disgraceful. I spent £40 to stay here and they couldn't even deliver a decent pizza. I am quite unsatisfied with this trip. It will depend on how I sleep tonight.
