La Meridiana - East Horsley

Visited this restaurant last Friday evening. We arrived a little earlier than planned but the table was available as it was surprisingly rather quiet. The service was impeccable. The table was laid to a very high standard with starched linen. Pre-dinner drinks were quickly delivered to the table and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the staff. The house red was gorgeous, and at £21 for a bottle, very reasonable indeed. The menu had a lovely selection of Italian dishes but I decided to go with the owners suggestion of a veal chop with butter and sage, apparently a new dish for the chef. I'm not a great sage lover but thought I'd give it a go. When it arrived it was actually a veal T-bone and positively melted in the mouth, it was so full of flavour, yet delicate. The chef even came to our table to see if we'd enjoyed his dish. This was quite honestly the best meal I'd had, eating out, in some time. How this restaurant is not packed on a Friday evening I can't imagine! It's absolutely fantastic and somewhere I intend to visit again and again. A great experience. Well done to the owner and the staff, but high praise for the chef! Was it cheap? No. Was it super expensive, No. But absolutely worth every penny! Get to this restaurant!

Very friendly staff and a beautiful birthday meal. accompany and patients with a group of eight who were previously on a gin festival. Gottels in the starter were very small, apart from that everything was nice, so that in any case to look back.

Lovely authentic Italian food, generous portions and delicious flavours. They were happy to accommodate my 2.5yr olds request for salmon instead of the childrens menu which I was grateful for and he loved it. The pizzas are some of the best I’ve had outside of Italy. The chef even popped out to see how were enjoying our meal which definitely is a sign they care about the food and their customers. Highly recommend.

Excellent service and perfect food for an impromptu lunch. We were running late for a funeral and the manager couldn’t have been more helpful in speeding us through. We will definitely return and have recommended it to friends and family already.

I went to this restaurant tonight and the food was indescribably delicious. Thank you for singing happy birthday to me on the guitar. We will definitely be returning soon. Kudos to the chefs and all the hardworking staff in the kitchen.
