   Does what it says on the tin. Quite a big branch that means the atmosphere is not as good at other branches, but good value.

   I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Obica with a client, and I can confidently say that we will not be returning. Our visit began on a disappointing note when we were presented with a festive menu, only to find out that the turkey was unavailable. To make matters worse, several pizzas were also off the menu. This was particularly surprising given that we were their one of their first customers of the day at 12:15pm. Two of us ordered the sea bass fillet, but when our meals arrived, both fillets were raw in the middle. We promptly sent them back, but by the time the fish returned, our guests had already completed their meals. Unfortunately, the second attempt at our fish also resulted in uncooked fillets. At this point, I opted not to risk ordering anything else.My colleague attempted to order a pizza, but faced similar issues with unavailability. After some effort, he finally managed to place an order, but the experience was already quite embarrassing, especially since we were there with a client. Overall, this lunch turned out to be a frustrating experience filled with missed expectations and subpar food quality. I would not recommend Obica based on this visit.

   I’ve been many times before and it was always great. I think this was an off day. Our server didn’t seem to know what was going on, and we had to return it be of our dishes as it was congealed and bland. Will go back and hopefully it will return to how I’ve experienced it before.

   Unfortunately the service was very slow waiting for the bill to arrive, we all needed to leave but were kept waiting for some time. The food portions also appear to have gotten smaller. 4/5 dishes were particularly small and disappointing.

   I usually really like Obica but didn't have the best experience. The service was slow and our waitress wasn't particularly helpful or communicative. We ordered the Bruschette as a starter to share and when it arrived we were really disappointed as it was one tiny piece of bread cut in half with a little bit of topping - a really stingy portion and the waitress didn't tell us when we ordered that it would be small for one person let alone a table of 4. When we complained she didn't really do much about it. The pasta mains were nice but the tortelloni was also on the small side and all the dishes weren't that hot. The desserts were delicious but we constantly had to try and flag our waitress down and it took more than 90 mins from us arriving to paying the bill. Not sure I'll be back.

   Good range of food - I’m currently having to do an elimination diet but I could eat their salmon salad and it was delicious! My friend had one of their pizzas and was very happy. Lovely bottle of pinot, really nice restaurant, and we were left to chat which was nice, we didn’t feel rushed at all:)

    Lovely atmosphere and well laid out. Food and service was poor. Over priced food with little quality.
