    Pollino my new Italian favorite - Halifax I loved the experience from start to finish. Excellent customer service, it is very clear that staff are well trained and very friendly. Food and taste was just spot on. Prices are a little higher than a usual Italian. But is it worth it? Without a shed of a doubt!!! Free car park, easy to find, clean inside and out and very delicious food. The million dollar question; would I intentionally go back for another meal?????? 100% yesssss. Thank you Pollino team. Keep ip the great work.

    Amazing view of the valley. Excellent manager and waiters. A truly professional team. Food was very high quality: pizza was so good - fresh, light base and ingredients fresh and tasty. Pasta dishes including the lobster ravioli very nice - sauce not overpowering.

    We ate at Pollino on Saturday night and it was, as always, amazing! We arrived early so we could have a couple of cocktails each in the upstairs bar. I ordered a Margarita with salt which wasn't actually on the cocktail menu but the bar person couldn't have been more accommodating. Great cocktails! We ordered ribs and the stuffed fig special for starters. 3 pizzas and a side salad for mains, baked cheesecake, pannacotta and affogato for dessert and finished off with a complementary drink. We also had 2 bottles of wine and beers. All of the food was delicious - fresh, piping hot and well presented. Although it was busy, we never felt rushed. The staff were exemplary as always - focused, polite and attentive. We also had a lovely table by the window with views over the valley. We were sat behind a couple who appeared to have a problem with their food and were complaining rather vociferously about salty food (which incidentally was wel handled by the host) but fortunately that didn't affect our experience. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Pollino for the food, service and ambiance. It may not be the cheapest but it's fabulous value for money! Well done again Team Pollino!

    Visited on a Saturday afternoon, the atmosphere was amazing, the food was authentic and delicious. The service was top-notch, the coffee was hot and delicious. Will definitely be going back, even if I have to pay for myself.
