Went to Sylvester's for our anniversary using a discount voucher. The set meal consisted of a leak and potato soup that was really good, followed by the main course of rump steak cooking on a hot stone slab at the table (very different) where you cook it to how you like it, there was a salad of mixed leaves with a light clear dressing, roasted vine tomatoes, a large mushroom, hand cut chips and a small dish of thin creamy sauce.

The whole experience of cooking my own steak was really good, the venue was clean and a nice decor, there was a jazzy background music, which later turned to a salsa style of music and dancers who also taught the salsa for a small fee.

I would certainly recommend this eatery as a dining experience.

The food is exceptional. The service is improving. We have been twice now, with different people in our party and we have had different dishes and each time they have been superb. The food was tasty and spiced to perfection, each dish tasting and looking very different.

They do takeaways, too, and we thoroughly expect to be trying those out. The restaurant has only been open for two weeks and the teething troubles evident on the first visit appear to have been ironed out.

I recommend this restaurant!

Best Chinese restaurant going. We're there nearly every week - we cant keep away!

The food is amazing, you get absolutely loads and its very good priced. Customer service is excellent - always smiling and chatting to us and the children. Very clean and modern restaurant.

Cant rate any higher - its 5 *****.

Very expensive but nice food only if I didn't receive a caterpillar on my plate! Customer service lacks, too. No one smiles.

Our experience here was no more than appalling.

Shortly after arriving the members of our party who were under age but not drinking, and those who didn't purchase anything were treated like criminals and juvenile delinquents. Apparently the restaurant is "metaphorical" and the pub doesn't accept anyone under the age of 18. So even those of us who were paying customers and under 18 were talked to in a threatening manner by the manager and forced to leave under the risk of them calling the police for crimes that no-one committed.

Our completely normal and quite drink was ruined by staff members using their non-existent powers to remove people who were apparently subject of their prejudice against youths. Extremely disappointing.

Visited very early evening on 19/08/2011 with my wife and members of our family. The staff were brilliant but that was it. The food was garbage and over priced.

We eat out a lot and this was an experience we wont be repeating. My wife is a chef and if I take her there again she will divorce me! Only kidding but never again. Yuck.

Absolutely love this restaurant. Have visited many times since returning to Sheffield after living in various parts of the world.

The garlic bread is gorgeous and the authentic Italian pizza is great - would highly recommend! The staff are always welcoming and friendly and very accommodating of any specific needs.

Would highly recommend.

Brilliant food, atmosphere and service. Would recommend for functions or night out.

An overall pleasant experience. Food was good with plenty of choice to suit everyone's taste.

My only criticism is that the appetiser of bread and olives took over half hour to arrive. Might I suggest that bread and olives are served complementary when guest are seated, as this will give them time to chose from the wide varied menu?

Visited the restaurant on the 25th August 2011 with a party of 10. We will recommend La Tasca to family and friends.

I have just been presented with possibly the second worst meal I have ever eaten in Sheffield. Seriously disappointing food.

My husband's squid starter was really tough - not a good sign in a restaurant that supposedly specialises in fish dishes - and the duck dish was poorly presented - swimming in a sea of tooth achingly sweet and sloppy sauce. I was also sure that the sauce had been introduced to some gravy granules at some point in its cooking.

The small portion of vegetables had been microwaved and covered in dried herbs that made it hard to appreciate individual flavours and textures.

My husband's fish stew was average - the liquor bordering on bitter and some of the fish was quite dry - almost like it had all been cooked separately and put together before serving.

When I told the staff that my food wasn't good they graciously took it off the bill but it was still poor value for money in my opinion. I have eaten at this restaurant before and it was much better quality but that was a couple of years ago. I don't know what's gone wrong but they can't afford to turn out this poor standard when they are being challenged by other restaurants in Sheffield that deliver much better quality and value.

Have been here twice and love it. Food is beautiful. Very helpful and friendly staff. Going back again this weekend.

Had a meal at Mama's & Leonie's last night. What a disappointment. It has no Italian feel whatsoever.

We were in a group of 13, and nobody had a great compliment to say about any of their food except for the minestrone soup starter and the chocolate fudge cake desert.

I had Antipasto Italienne. It was a very poor starter, which was chopped up 'cheap' supermarket salad tomatoes, chorizo (Spanish), tinned olives and 3 tinned mussels on a bed of Iceberg lettuce. Shameful!

My main was a Pizza Picante. Picante, usually meaning spicy. It certainly wasn't spicy at all. It tasted like a cheap supermarket pizza. It was quite small too, which proved to be a bonus.

Ice cream - Mr Whippy. Nothing like traditional Italian ice cream. Oh dear.

The Peroni was spot on though - it was bottled.

The staff were nice and friendly though.

Would I go back - definitely not. Piccolino is around the corner, and although a chain, blows Mama's & Leonie's away with more authentic Italian food, not in an authentic setting, but with a more Italian feel.

There are so many nicer places to eat, just pick one of those instead.

I regularly order mixed sandwich platters from this cafe and they are delicious! Lovely people with a great chilled out environment in the cafe. All the staff are extremely helpful and cheerful! I would definitely recommend this place!

I have just read the 'story' from the gentleman of July 2011. We have visited Bella Roma for quite some time now and we have tried other Italian restaurants in Sheffield including Rossi's, which is supposed to be top notch. You could not even compare the two restaurants. Bella Roma's food far out-shone Rossi's and so did the service.

Bella Roma let you choose your drink/food in peace and if you need help with your choice of food or drinks the waitress is always on hand, not in your face, to help.

The food at Bella Roma is far superior to any of the other restaurants we have tried in Sheffield.

Whilst everyone's taste is different, it is difficult to please everyone, however in my experience the gentleman should have turned around if he did not feel comfortable on entering the restaurant because he was then determined not to enjoy himself.

I would say to the disappointed gentleman go to Bella Roma again with a different frame of mind and let the staff look after you (they have never failed yet to please myself and loads of other patrons).

First night I was just being nosey.

It was fantastic - tasty and plenty of food at your table. Clean and the staff very friendly. Thank you.

Our visit was very much a last minute thing and we had only our son's account that a few friends had given the restaurant good reviews so we didn't know what to expect. We went last Saturday and managed to secure a table for four following a cancellation.

I have travelled quite a lot in the UK on business and for pleasure and have eaten at many places in Sheffield over the last 6 years of my boys attending the universities but I can honestly say this is in my top three places to eat now in the UK.

Food - We sampled 12 different dishes in all from three courses and all were universally excellent in terms of cooking, portions and presentation.

Service - From start to finish nothing was left to chance and everybody was both friendly and attentive but in no way overpowering. It was truly relaxed but very professional.

Ambience - Like a comfortable pair of shoes. Clean, warm and welcoming. Don't go if you want LED lighting and designer cushions etc...

Cost - Great value for money and far cheaper than eating in our 4-star hotel just round the corner where there was little evidence of quality/service or welcome, but a good deal more expense for a similar meal the previous night. Price is very comparable to other similar sized restaurants in Sharrow Vale or Eccy Road but few offer the service or quality.

All in, a great but unexpected pleasure. We will return and not hesitate to recommend to others.

We ate at Jewel on 13/08/2011, it was our first visit and won't be our last. There were only a few people in whilst we were there, but the food was of a very good quality.

The staff were very accommodating and eloquent - they are trying to get everything right rather than fill up the restaurant and have complaints. They gave us complimentary drinks and arranged a taxi for us.

Not the place for if you want a cheap meal though, but still very enjoyable. We also had pre-dinner drinks at the Carbrook, a very friendly pub.

Love it, nice food, best food I ever had in my life. I recommend it everyone, love it. Going there today for a birthday dinner and can't wait.

Excellent! The food, the service, the atmosphere, just everything is 5 stars.

We really did not expect this quality of food and service within Meadowhall. Purely brilliant! We now visit once a week if possible!

Visited this restaurant recently. Good food at good prices, large portions and good value for money. Would highly recommend.
