8-12 St Martin's Ln, Lincoln LN2 1HY, UK | Pizza Restaurant P: 07858 164932
Rating: 4.9 (398) Price Level:
Recently expanded with more tables and the pizza is really the very best in the midlands and must be among the top in the U.K.. Every pizza on the menu is great and well-balanced. The ‘sweet pea’ special on atm has a particularly light, refreshing taste with an innovative pea and lemon base.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here yesterday evening. The team is extremely friendly and there was a wide variety of pizzas and drinks on the menu. Love the vegetarian concept, and I have to save, the pizzas were simply amazing. The tiramisu is a nice little treat to wrap up your meal with. I would suggest that you try to make a reservation in advance if you plan to dine in.

What a lovely little pizzeria. All veggie/vegan but wow the flavors. We had the mushroom truffle & the garlic mushroom, absolutely lush. They are big, but what a great breakfast of you take them home. Don't forget to leave room for the Tiramisu as our amazing
Rating: 5 / 5
Phenomenal pizza in the heart of Lincoln. The crust has the perfect mix of air, chew and crisp and was cooked perfectly. They offer sauces for dipping, but honestly, I you really don't need them. The pizza is great as is. I do think this place is a must try. If you do eat in, it is a good idea to reserve a table ahead of time as it is quite small. I did also like the option to borrow a picnic blanket to eat in the park across the street. The fresh tiramisu was a great way to cap off my meal. Food 5 Service 5 Atmosphere 5

We are so lucky to have this gem in Lincoln! Myself and my partner went for the garlic mushroom with burrata and the smokey and halved them between us and we would say they were some of the nicest pizzas we’ve ever had! The smoked scamorza sticks were good, although the dip was way too spicy for me but they’re good enough on their own if you don’t like spice 🌶️ The mango and passion fruit tiramisu was divine. The restaurant does feel very small but as the evening went on and it got a bit quieter, the vibes were cosy and chilled and the music was top tier for me. Overall absolutely fantastic and we will be back 🍕😌

Brilliant food as always. Definitely the place to go in Lincoln for food. Tasty, reliable, everyone is always nice and welcoming. Been coming here for years, never had a bad meal, portion sizes are bigger than they've ever been. Highly highly recommend if you are in the Lincoln area and you're looking for the BEST restaurant in Lincoln and also Lincolnshire.

Great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming service. I would have given 5🌟 for the food. It was super speedy getting to the table and was quite delicious, but I forgot to ask for no parsley, and it was covered in it…

Such a thrill to find this gem. All of the dishes we ordered, which all happened to be vegan, looked, smelt and tasted amazing. Lincoln was such a beautiful city, eating here was the cherry on top. Bravo!

On our way back from Lincoln we stopped here for dinner and gosh was it a good idea. Staff were super friendly and managed to squeeze us in even without a booking (would advise to book as they’re very busy). We ordered several different tapas which we all enjoyed. All the food was super tasty and well cooked. We were all really satisfied with our meal. The bread basket was a great start, freshly baked and still warm. The croquettes and the seafood paella were my two favourites. 100% recommend.

We visited for a family lunch this afternoon. We all absolutely loved this restaurant, felt so welcomed by the waitress and the restaurant felt really homely. The staff were fantastic. The food was absolutely out of this world. Had a real variety of dishes and whether pasta, risotto, chicken or pizza everything was fantastic and the tomato garlic bread starter was amazing. Would definitely return and recommend to friends. Wish I'd taken more pictures of the food

What an amazing place, we went for lunch on a weekday so I’m not sure how busy it gets at peak times but I hope they do well because it was some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. What a lovely family run business, well definitely be back ☺️

Turtle Bay Lincoln, What a great place to go if you’re having a group do for a Birthday or any other occasion you can think of. I would suggest the bottomless brunch, which we all did on the weekend for my partners Birthday. The food was spot on and tasted great, each time you had almost drank your drink the waitress would be loading the table with more drinks. Some of the drinks wasn’t for me but all in all a great day and such great atmosphere. Thank you Turtle Bay.

This was my first time visiting but certainly won’t be the last!! Food was amazing staff were attentive without being overwhelming and a really friendly family atmosphere. We came for the curry goat and it didn’t disappoint. Just the right amount of spice and heat. Massive thank you to Eleanor and Cameron for the best date night we have had for ages
Rating: 5 / 5
The food was really good and the atmosphere was really chilled. The temperature was comfortable and we enjoyed the drinks. The staff were friendly. Molly and Eleanor were lovely and I look forward to going again. We had a sharing platter and everything was delicious. I have been a few times and it is always great.

This little gem has to be one of my top favourite restaurants of all time!! The food is amazing! The service..amazing! The establishment is gorgeous! We are new to Lincoln and wanted a lovely place to take my husband for a meal, I saw the venison on the menu and just had to try it, and we were not disappointed, far from it! It excelled! Thank you so much for making our day special, we will be back!

So glad we found this place whilst visiting the city, what a treat. We had a drink in the snug on the Friday night & saw some amazing dishes being served so booked for the following evening & so glad we did! The Korean fried chicken was incredible as were the mains; gilt head bream and a mushroom & Gruyère burger. Service and atmosphere/decor were top notch. Fabulous to find somewhere that serves different dishes, cooked in unique ways & all tasting delicious. Wish we lived nearer so we could visit again!

First time visiting here and we will 100% be back. The beef roast was absolutely incredible, every component was so delicious and we loved that the beef was more thick cut. The presentation was spot on, looked as good as it tasted. We loved the decor, (especially Geoffrey!) loved the named reservation card on the table and overall thought the staff were super friendly, welcoming and approachable. The food was brought out really fast and was nice and hot. Couldn’t fault a thing!

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas Eve meal here. Our food was delicious, the atmosphere was festive and friendly and the service was fantastic. Special thank you to our server Niamh, who was smiley, patient and attentive to us throughout our meal. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was up to standard for us. Overall we had a great evening and would absolutely return again in the future.

Excellent lunch at the White Horse. All the food we ate was fantastic, but the absolute star of the show was the belly pork. Pair this with a beautiful pint of Galway Stout and you're winning at life! Looking forward to visiting again.

Visited the Duke William Hotel yesterday with my husband for the first time yesterday. What a lovely pub! The decor inside is beautiful, and the food was delicious. We were served by a young man called Charlie, who brought the drinks to our table and was very polite, and the staff that served us our food were also friendly! We will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great Sunday evening.

We had our evening dinner here with our two children (2 & 5) and they loved it so much they asked to come back the next day for lunch! Our meal and the kids meals were fantastic, which matched the service as that was friendly, fast and incredibly efficient. We felt like we were in a much more expensive establishment, as so often you get left to fend for yourself in a busy hotel/dining establishment set up. Very reasonably priced for the portion size and quality of the food.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is becoming one of my favourite places to refresh when in town. The staff are always very polite, professional and welcoming. Excellent choice at the bar with fair prices. The choice of seating is excellent whether inside or out. Little heaters outside are great. I have eaten and drank here but never stayed, I'm curious to what the rooms are like, to the point I may even book me and my wife in one night, even though we only live 15min out of town.
Rating: 5 / 5
The bar was busy on the day we visited and we got the last table. I think the food deserves a review especially the sea bass which was an amazingly nice plate of food. The sea bass and the pie came with roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots and green veg which were cooked to perfection. My sister-in-law said the pie was a little salty but overall 5 stars.

Lovely atmosphere, amazing food and fantastic service & staff. Steak came out differently than I ordered it (still delicious) and they comped the dish no questions asked. Made changes for dietary requirements too, absolutely no fuss. Will certainly be going back!

We came here to have dinner and were not disappointed. My partner and I had the cauliflower and truffle soup to start, and Tori had the whitebait. Large pieces of fish and the homemade sauce Tartare really made it. Then the main came, ox cheek for Mike and I had the slow roasted rib. Tori had the mushroom and truffle tagliatelle which was heavy going but the beef and ox cheek was a tender as you’d like. Drinks wise there was an enjoyable non alcohol Espresso Martini and I think I had a lime soda. We had a really enjoyable evening and the staff were attentive, amusing and this place comes highly recommended

I cannot overstate how much I love this restaurant. It is me and partner’s favourite restaurant in Lincoln. Its fixed priced menu is an absolute bargain and their triple cooked chips are some of the best in the country. The service is impeccable. You can really tell the chefs put in a lot of effort to make the food taste delicious
Rating: 5 / 5
Lovely place to come for a Sunday lunch. They have seating inside and outside and the front is a real sun trap. There is a two or three course option for a set price which was reasonable. Delicious food and would certainly return. The staff were friendly and attentive. You can sit outside with the dog too!

Visited with my partner on an evening between Christmas and new year. Both ordered from the Al la Carte menu, both highly rated our starters and mains. Highly recommend!
Rating: 5 / 5
Fine dining at its best! Cannot fault the food, as in its flavour and presentation, absolutely impeccable! We had 3 course's to include Pigeon, Hare, Duck and Beef followed by delicious deserts. The service was welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere relaxing and comfortable. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime and chose from the A La Carte lunchtime menu dining in the restaurant. I honestly have not a bad word or critism regarding the food or service, 200% Fabulous!!

Went here with friends for the 5 course taster menu. The food served was absolutely lovely, really well presented, tasted excellent, all the flavours complimenting each other. Each dish was introduced well, and explained. There was also a decent amount of time in-between each course. If there could be improvements to make this a 5 star rating, we had to wait quite a while after arriving to be served any drinks, also when asking for tap water to be on the table, we was told they only serve bottled. Also there were only a couple of wait staff, which is fine if the restaurant isn’t too busy, but there were a lot of covers, so the staff were unable to be as attentive as the could have been. On price point, for the taster menu, we were all very happy.
Rating: 4 / 5
Had a bit of a mixed bag of a visit. On arrival we were greeted and shown to our table, we said straight away we were having the taster menu with the recommended wines. We had to ask for some table water after sitting there for some time I would have thought this would have been provided straight away. The food was nice and well presented but after the second course we had used all the cutlery that was on the table when we walked in. I would have thought after ordering the 5 course menu the extra cutlery would have been provided then unless they were hoping we were going to use the same ones and save on washing up. There were empty tables when we visited yet the tables were very close together, it was like the next table was sat with us even talking quietly we could easily hear other conversations. I don't think there was enough staff on for a Saturday night. Overall the food was nice and the wines that were recommended for each dish were a good match. 👍
Rating: 5 / 5
Really lovely food! The steaks were cooked perfectly, and definitely the best food we’ve had in Lincoln. The onion rings are clearly homemade and are just delectable. Very nice owner too. Would thoroughly recommend.

Lovely little place with fantastic staff and fantastic food . We're visiting Lincoln for my birthday and we have our dog with us so we were looking for dog friendly places . This place came up with others but sounded interesting, so we booked in, and it was fantastic . The staff were very professional and friendly and had great knowledge of the menu . The food was fantastic, the portions were generous, and the flavour was spot on. To our surprise there were also far more vegetarian options than we expected! Between the two of us, we had 5 dishes and then a dessert, and it was more than enough ! We would highly recommend this place if you're in the area! And we will certainly be back in the future .

I feel a little embarrassed to say I’ve walked past Olivares so many times & never eaten there. So glad I decided to try it as it is an absolute gem of a place. The restaurant was extremely busy as it was a Saturday night but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They made us feel welcome & were very efficient, attending to all the tables & ensuring everyone was happy. The food was spot on, yes it’s a little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. All the dishes arrived super quick & were hot & fresh & tasted amazing. Olivares is such a cosy restaurant with amazing service & top quality authentic tapas dishes. I will be visiting again.

Nice old building near castle. Steps inside are very steep, but it is part of the charm of the restaurant. We were on the top floor, so we used all the steps and got our climbing badge!! Service was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The food was amazing and full of flavour, and it came out at a nice pace, too. Loved the prawns in garlic, lemon, honey, and chilli. Every dish was great. My only small minor negative was that the seating area at the table was a bit snug, but by no means impacted our enjoyment. It was definitely worth the price, which was reasonable
