Dear Lesley & Glyn

What can I say !!!! Apart from what a day. Thank you and all your staff for just the most memorable day in celebration of my 50th. Everything was just perfect from the time I arrived and to see so many family and friends from all around the globe.Everyone has commented on the beautiful setting to the scrummy food, my cake was amazing, the entertainment was fantastic to have everyone up dancing
even my dad who is 85 was incredible.
Thank you, thank you, thank you both for just the perfect day.

Love to you both and see you both soon.

"Il Tocco proved to be the perfect environment for the England Rugby players to relax during the Test Match week preparation for the French game. The choices available and the quality of the food was excellent. The attention of Il Tocco's staff was first class. The management table thoroughly enjoyed the Amarone !

The typical Italian unhurried environment also allowed the management and players, brought together for just 4 days, the opportunity to feel at ease in one other's company and played no small part in creating the winning mentality for Friday's match".

Hi Lesley,

You had two of my guests who visited to your restaurant for Sunday Lunch yesterday and they were from Tasmainia of all places. They were massively impressed with the food, service and location they said they had a really fabulous time at your restaurant.

Dear Lesley,

I’d like to thank you and the team at Tocco d’Itallia for the welcome we received and the great lunch on Saturday 9 June – please pass our thanks to the chef. This was a perfect venue and atmosphere for the occasion. I hope our reunion “crowd” was not too noisy for your other guests. My wife and I will be coming again for lunch when we are next in town.

Kind regards,

Brian

Just to say that we enjoyed today, the meal was excellent and we'll certainly visit the restaurant in the future and recommend it to others. I will also be visiting the website to see what other venues you are holding.

Dear Lesley and Glyn,

We wanted to thank you and your team for a fantastic Reception held at Il Tocco after Sylvie and Dan’s wedding. Lesley, you took all the usual worry of finding a venue/caterers/band/disco/flowers etc. from us and people could not believe how relaxed we were as a result!

Your attention to detail was superb. The décor was lovely and the food absolutely mouthwatering – we had comments from our guests saying that the dinner was the best they had ever had at a wedding. Your chef had really excelled himself. We were very impressed by your waiting team, nothing was too much trouble and it was lovely at the end of the evening to see them dancing too! It was totally different to the standard “just another wedding” production line that many other venues seem to offer. Everyone said what a really romantic venue it was. The evening was totally perfect – balmy weather – the band playing on the balcony – the full moon shining on the weir – flowers everywhere and just seeing everyone having such a marvelous time. The thank you letters we have received have all been really enthusiastic about Il Tocco and quite a few said that they couldn’t wait to visit you again! Sylvie and Dan had a really lovely Wedding Reception and we would thoroughly recommend you to everyone.

Kindest regards,

John and Vivien Pender


Lesley,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what an absolutely fabulous evening we all had on Friday night. From the moment we arrived the service was second to none. The food was out of this world and I had many many comments to that effect during the evening and all through the rest of the weekend and if that wasn't enough Andy McGowan (Robbie) was brilliant and was commented on by many of my guests. One of them even said that he thought he sang better than the real Robbie. Even yesterday as I said good bye to them they all said "Robbie was brilliant". Your staff were all so friendly and courteous. In fact the whole evening was perfect. I will be sending you an official letter of thanks in the next few days but just wanted to let you know my feelings asap. I will send you some pictures when I get them back from the photographer if you want.

Thanks again.

We recently visited Bath from Devon and didn't want to eat in the hotel and was recommended to visit a restaurant called Il Tocco d'Italia. I must say we had a fabulous evening with superb food, I have never eaten food as good anywhere in Britain, I have spent a lot of time in Italy and was most impressed with dishes such as the tagliatelle with walnuts and cabbage. Not only was the food fantastic but the service and the atmosphere was excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant to anyone visiting Bath.

Thankyou to for such a clever table design it meant that everyone had lots of different people to talk to.

We look forward to visiting you again soon.

Hello,

I just wanted to send a huge thank you to you all at Il Tocco for a wonderful evening on Saturday. We had so many comments full of praise throughout the evening and the next morning. I've let my colleagues know too about Il Tocco and so we will, no doubt, be back with other groups!

With best wishes,

Reference for IL TOCCO D' ITALIA following a hugely successful surprise 70th Birthday Party for my father.

"On 29th January, a party of 53 people had a wonderfully enjoyable evening in Il Tocco D'Italia. The planning had started some 2 months before, and at all stages Lesley and Glyn were very helpful and co-operative. The party (somehow!) remained a total surprise, even after Lesley took our coats prior to going upstairs, and the look on my father's face as he came up the stairs was an absolute picture! There was plenty of space to seat everyone in a 'continuous' table format that allowed people to mingle and move before, during and after the meal. The atmosphere was superb, although a totally different 'feel' could have been created should it have been needed; as a 70th birthday party would suggest, the music wasn't overtly obtrusive and we didn't require a cabaret act. However, should one have been required, I have every faith that Il Tocco would have organised a top quality act.

The food was sumptuous and plentiful - I don't think anyone left feeling hungry by any means! Chef and his merry band of helpers laid on a great 3 course feast, and dealt with a couple of slightly 'picky' guests in a very courteous and patient manner. The cake was very tasty (minus the 70 candles of course!), as was the selection of cheeses and port. The timings between the courses was perfect, but also allowed people time to mingle briefly.

As the main instigator of the party, I have had many replies from guests who have all commented on what a wonderful evening they had, how much they enjoyed the food, the ambience and setting of the restaurant, and that it was an absolute pleasure to dine at the restaurant. No-one had dined at the restaurant before, but many have stated that they would love to return in the near future.

With all this in mind, I would heartily recommend the restaurant to anyone considering a party venue for up to 70 people.

With best wishes to you and all at Il Tocco"

Dear Sir,

My wife and I recently moved to Bath to take up new jobs at the university. When we asked a number of colleagues where we could go for a good meal in town, Il Tocco D'Italia was mentioned numerous times. We took their advice and we weren't disappointed. The food, service and ambiance were all top of the charts. Thanks for a great night out in Bath. You'll certainly see us again.

Best,

Jim

A real treat, this is a brand new restaurant by the river. The lunch special is incredible value for money, we had the largest starter ever and the mains were even bigger. Pretty much the only affordable restaurants we visited which impressed us (and the mama too!). From Pulteney Bridge take the steps down past the Puppet Theater cafe & then walk straight over to the maze.
