View Full Version : BBs restaurant .. opinions? Beautyx 09-07-2009, 20:22 Anyone got any idea what this restaurant is like? Think it's on Devonshire Street? Thanks Dark Moomin 09-07-2009, 20:40 I like it. I wouldn't say its the reatest Italian ever, but I'd say its good for they money. Quite rustic. I like thebusy atmosphere too, its quite a small place, and can get crowded and noisy, but I have usually been for larger 'do's' so that's not a bad thing really. And you can bring your own wine (but only wine) which is good. Matt S 10-07-2009, 06:20 I'm not a massive fan, last time I went there I had a clazoni and it wasn't cooked properly... Could've been a bad day like... Different type of place but I'd go to Antibos if I was in that area honeyandtess 10-07-2009, 07:54 :)Anyone got any idea what this restaurant is like? Think it's on Devonshire Street? Thanks this is a small restaurant with a super atmosphere ,the food is cooked by the best italian chef in Sheffield---have a great night scottf 10-07-2009, 08:31 Yeah- i really enjoyed it the last time i was there- had a fabulous steak :D JohnnyBoy 10-07-2009, 08:35 been there for a few work dos and it has always been decent. Bit cramped maybe but always enjoyed it and you can take your own wine Sharp87 10-07-2009, 08:50 always wondered why you can't take your own ale? Ginger Daddy 10-07-2009, 09:03 always wondered why you can't take your own ale? A lot of places associate people bringing their own beer/cider with louts who just want to go and get drunk and cause trouble on the premises. Wine is seen as much more sophisticated. Shame I know, but if that's how licensees see it, tough for the rest of us!

Shame I know, but if that's how licensees see it, tough for the rest of us! mad. having perhaps been guilty of being a "lout" on occasions, the drink of choice is often a bottle or 2 of wine - some scandalous 2 for £4-£5 deals around. would they think they same if i came in and drank it straight from the bottle? :hihi: Ginger Daddy 10-07-2009, 09:10 mad. having perhaps been guilty of being a "lout" on occasions, the drink of choice is often a bottle or 2 of wine - some scandalous 2 for £4-£5 deals around. would they think they same if i came in and drank it straight from the bottle? :hihi: The management of BBs should be able to answer your questions :) Although I see your point. jemson 10-07-2009, 14:05 I`m a fussy food snob and I quite liked it. jengo 10-07-2009, 14:06 I went for my birthday and we all felt rushed. It wasn't even busy or anything however they still managed to make us feel uncomfy for taking up a table! craigpugh 10-07-2009, 23:54 i love it the steaks are great the specials always good, i did always like the elder of the three daughters who work there, i read in the star/telegraph website that she now has her own place somewhere south of here- anyone know any more? perplexed 11-07-2009, 07:02 I haven't been for a couple of years, but the food was pretty good, atmosphere likewise. Desserts a bit disappointing, but as I say, it was a couple of years ago and I'd happily give it another go! Bilge 11-07-2009, 08:02 It's great, we go here often. The atmosphere is really nice - a pleasant buzz of conversation but not intrusive although the tables are close together, nice low lighting and candles, decent simple good value food, house wine is OK too. Can't fault it really. If you want a really swish expensive italian for a special occasion with fancy decor and furniture and loads of space then this isn't it. But usually you'll just want something like BB's. bensonhedges 11-07-2009, 09:44 I love BB's - been going for at least 10 years. Food is good value and really friendly service. Go now!!! LJB23 11-07-2009, 11:19 I'm going here tonight. Been about 5 times before :) DaniBabi 15-07-2009, 13:11 Whats The Prices Like There? LJB23 15-07-2009, 14:06 £4.50 - £6.50 for starters and about £7.50 - £18 for a main. swordfish1 15-07-2009, 17:34 Been twice. Both times with other couples. No-one was impressed either time. Maybe they just had two "off" days. tired mummy 20-07-2009, 11:07 bbs is fantastic i,ve been here lots of accasions and fell in love with the place very intimate with a lovely atmosphere,i recomend the king prawn starter lush!if its your birthday they giv you a complimentory flaming sambuco.go now you wont regret it unless you are one of these ppl who arenever satisfied with anything ;-) medicgirl 21-07-2009, 17:24 Reasonable quality for the price. It's no Nonna's but the food is fine and the fact it's BYOB makes for a cheap night out. I do find it a bit cramped which is irritating but it's OK. Bilge 23-07-2009, 16:40 It's no Nonna's Another thing in BB's favour. I find Nonna's quite unfriendly and a bit posey and snobby - like they are doing you a favour allowing you in. mojo1 23-07-2009, 16:51 I love it. The staff are friendly and always up for a laugh and a joke, the food is lovely and it's so relaxed. It gets busy and even though you do get noisy groups it still feels very intimate. |
