Reviews Summary
Fino Pizzeria & Cicchetti is praised for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its pizzas and divine desserts, within a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. While many enjoy the friendly service and reasonable prices, some diners have experienced issues with food temperature and slow service, impacting the overall value for money.
"Really nice restaurant. Service was very good.Nice choice of dishes at reasonable prices. The dishes themselves were very tasty, steak a little overcooked but otherwise it was all faultless. Atmosphere very cosy and warm."
Michael C
"We made a reservation for six in advance and were seated imidiately. The service was prompt and polite with only short waiting times. I enjoyed a lemonade, garlic bread with cheese, crispy calamari and the broccoli+chicken pasta. The atmosphere was calm if a little crowded, the decor was beautiful and the music was tastefully on theme."
Lilly Potts
"Unfortunately we were incredibly disappointed with our most recent experience at Fino - we order from there a lot and this time has made us decide not to return.
Food was ordered and came in good time so we were very confused as to why everything came cold!
The potatoes - we got about 7-10 and they were nearly 4 pounds and the lasagne was 13 pounds - saddest lasagne I’ve seen - it was frozen in the middle so clearly microwaved and very flat as well as a small portion in comparison to what we’ve had before.
Overall really poor value for money and disappointing that everything was cold. Will go elsewhere next time as plenty of Italian restaurants in Wakefield!"
