Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

Pentolina Restaurant Diner Reviews

"A neighbourly Italian with a limited menu of crowd pleasing favourites. The wine list however offered some good value for money rarities. Other than a meagre scallop starter which disappointed all other dishes were hearty and well seasoned. If I lived local then this would be on my rotation."
