Firstly, the food here is fantastic. You will have a delicious meal from antipasti to dessert. The stuffed courgette flowers were perfect, we loved the fried cauliflower, they have two vegan pizza options and the half chicken is really juicy. If it were just down to the food I would give Mozza 5 stars, but unfortunately our experience of the staff has brought the score down. We arrived on time but had some issues finding parking so the majority of the party went in while the other two parked the cars. We were a big group with three small children but they wouldn't seat us, even though the rest of the party had arrived and were just parking/valeting. With a party of adults I can completely understand asking them to wait, but with little children I really would expect more consideration on the part of the restaurant. By the time we did sit down I asked our waiter if we could order a couple of things to get the ball rolling while everyone decided, but apparently Chef does not allow this, you have to order all at once to avoid Chef getting confused with too many tickets... For real?? I felt sorry for the waiter who honestly looked embarrassed. If you don't want to accommodate families, then don't accommodate families; my husband and I often go out for dinner without our kids and totally understand that some restaurants just aren't geared towards young kids, but if you are going to welcome children, take their needs into consideration instead of just making them feel unwelcome and inconvenient. Very disappointing.
