    Overated, focaccia was very hard, no spoon given with spaghetti/ linguine, sodas were flat. Pasta was bland and needed salt. Service was average.

    This is the second time my family and I have been, and it's still our favourite place to eat! The food and service are second to none, and we were looked after so well! Thanks again, Team Onda!

    We ordered 3 different dishes of pasta and garlic bread to go with them, we ate at 1 ish around lunch time and we only didn’t really enjoy one pasta but that’s because it wasn’t for our taste buds. The service was quick, helpful and very polite, we will be recommending this place to our friends and family and will definitely be returning

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Onda Pasta Bar! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. And the staff were attentive, knowledgeable. The pasta was unreal! Every dish was clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and prepared to perfection. The Lumache with vodka sauce and Nduja was easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The portion sizes were generous too. I would highly recommend this gem to anyone.

    Food took 55-60 mins to arrive after being ordered, orange wine was undrinkable, service was far too relaxed

    Amazing food, great value and wonderful service by our waitress. Would definitely return, the pastas were some of the best I have ever had - on par with in Milan and Lake Como! My only comment would be that the food took a little long to come (40 mins)

    Food was great, only downside was being told from 5.55pm (we booked in at 5pm) was that we needed to be out by 6.15pm and felt like we had to rush our cocktails that we’d ordered at the end. Other than that, really good though. Maybe just worth extending table booking to 90 mins!
