Ham and Cheese Ciabatta

Really, really tasty food! So good it has inspired us to try and cook the recipe ourselves. Looking forward to ordering more food from Diego! - Patrick,E9

very tasty - David,E8

Excellent portions !! Delicious meal !!!! And the little pot of homemade jam was a nice touch ... !!!! Thanks SD - Sarah,E2

There is already a hell of a lot cheeper takeaways out there already, but this is worth every penny! Love the housebite concept, why didn't somebody do this sooner... Diego's food was great and very enjoyable. I was surprised at the quality and will be ordering again for sure. - Michael,N1

Risotto 5/5 Fishcake 5/5 Beef & Guinness Stew 4/5 (my girlfried loved it and would rate it 5/5) - Leander,E1

The food was great, the Mile End Mess was fantastic; the delivery right on time; would heartily recommend the chef Diego specifically and the Housebites service more generally. There was even a small pot of fresh plum jam that I intend to enjoy on my toast tomorrow morning! - Karl,E8

The food arrived hot and on time, it felt healthy and homecooked. I didnt feel gross afterwards. There wasnt the usual layer of oil on everything. My only comment was that the choice was a little limiting, we didnt have much of a vegetable option i.e. not a vegetarian meal, just some greens on the side. That would have taken it from Good, to very good. Very reasonably priced - nikki,E1

WOW! Amazing food, the duck sausages & polenta was spot on. Food arrived bang on time and piping hot. What a great concept, I'm now chucking away all those dodgy take ays menus!!!! Good work! - Matt,E2

Delicious! - Jason,E2

We had a disaster in the kitchen this evening, so turned to housebites for a last ditch dinner saver. Diego's meal was sensational, both the chicken and beef mains were perfectly cooked and flavoursome. The baby peas with bacon was delicious and probably my favourite. Delivery was on time and with a smile. I'm looking forward to my next kitchen disaster so I can order from Diego again - Tara,E9

Lovely risotto and great pasta sorrentina, tomato sauce was beautiful! - Mikko,N1

Really, really yummy! Delicious flavours, high quality and fresh. Fantastic! - Maddy,E3

It was an absolutely delicious meal. The second time I had the Slow Roast Pork from him - both times excellently delivered. And for the extra bonus point he added a French Toast with warm Apricots dessert, after I expressed my disappointment in the order comment about non being on offer tonight. Brilliant! - Christian,E9

Lovely beef and steamed veg, felt v well fed - beef full of flavour yet light and vegetables great accompaniment. - Barbara,E8

Both sets of orders were excellent we enjoy our food so much thank you we,ll definitely order from you again and my partner was very sorry for not giving you a tip - hilton,E9

Very tasty braised beef and amazing aromatic roasted potatoes. Would have been good to know that the steamed veg contained potatoes too though. Very happy all the same. - Jack,E2

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Thanks so much Diego. We love your food x - Lisa,E8

So nice to have a takeaway and not regret it afterwards! - Charley,E2

great stuff! x - lisa,E8

Thank you so much Diego, the food was just lovely. Especially enjoyed the chicken and soup. Really generous portion sizes, and thank you for the cake - it was wonderful. - Bev,E8

Me and my partner both thoroughly enjoyed the meal, very good portions also. - Danny,E5

Very delicious, restaurant quality food. Definitely going to order From here again. - Katrina,E1

Loved it! Love the service, the food, the experience. - Lucie,E8

Food arrived piping hot and at the beginning of the half hour window. The pasta was cooked perfectly. What I really liked was that the food was not greasy in any way- it seemed fresh and healthier than your typical delivery food. I look forward to trying other chefs out, but would order from this one again! - Kayla,E5

Risotto was cooked to perfection. Gratin was delicious, just like the chicken fricasse'. And thanks for the cookies :) - Yannick,E8

Fantastic meal. I couldn't believe the quantity! Really tasty, and piping hot upon arrival. Very impressed indeed - Matthew,E2

Soup excellent, pork belly tender, beef rich and delicious, green aPple and walnut salad crisp and excellent. Beef was quite oily for our taste but perhaps thats in the nature of the dish? - Nick,E1

The fishcake and macaroni were great, but was rather disappointed with the risotto I'm afraid. The portion size of the fishcake was very generous so wasn't terribly affected by the disappointing risotto. Was again a very good portion size, but just rather bland. I'm a big fan of Housebites as a concept and the ordering process and service/delivery are great. Was also very appreciative of the complimentary cookies so will definitely be back. - Roberta,E8

Superb, what wonderful service and what a fabulous chef. Many thanks. - alison,E2

Pork, duck and crepes outstanding. The pork was wonderfully cooked, the apples sauce was a great addition. Portions are fantastic. thank you for a great meal. - Carmen,E1W

Let us praise this cooking: delicious, silky soup, tender beef stew, rich peas and bacon, and tasty pork belly with an excellently dressed little salad. Many thanks - Nick,E1

Perfect meal yet again, got 3 dishes between two of us but 2 was plenty and so had great lunch too. Gingerbread surprises were also very welcome! - Tom,E2

Fantastic! Quicker than earliest estimated time and delivered by the man himself. Unbeatable service! And the food... Wow. Every takeaway menu has now been binned... This is the future! - Amit,E3

Best housebites experience to date- absolutely delicious! - Tom,E2

Lovely homecooked food. A wonderful change from a greasy takeaway. We will definitely order again! - Catherine,E9

Overall very tasty, particularly enjoyed the sides. Oxtail stew was a bit too fatty/oily. Still better quality than any other home delivery option. - kate,E5

A very nice meal, a little on the salty side, but loved it all the same and licked the plate clean. Thanks - Andrew,E1

Consistently excellent, thank you. Looking forward to some new dishes soon. - Nick,E1

Nice portion size, all the convenience of a takeaway, the heart and soul of a home cooked meal. lovely food, perfectly seasoned.. - Noel,E8

First time to use house bites. Pork belly and Duck ragout tortoglioni were both stunning, full of flavour and good portion size. Prompt delivery (via bicycle :)) also. Love the concept, and will be definitely using house bites again. Well done to Diego & Emanuele !! - Andrea,E14

To be honest, the Tomato Pasta and the Risotto was really average, we didn't even eat them. The Pork Belly was very very tasty but I guess it doesn't take to transport very well as the skin/crackling was soft/rubbery. The Mash was amazing and the Peas & Bacon and Cauliflower Gratin quite nice too. - Joe,N1

Arrived in very good time and was tasty. Good-sized portions too. No complaints! - Gbenga,E1

first time i used housebites and had my doubts about the concept but was VERY pleasantly surprised. food was really excellent, hope diego & emanuele's menu changes regularly as i might have to order their food every evening?! - trevor,E1

Really great food - the Duck was delicious and so was the Beef Stew! Very impressed! The cookies were also a lovely touch :) - Kate,E1

Great meal, fishcakes especially good! - Mark,E9

The two main courses were very good and well done. The two sides were not as well cooked as the mains; the cauliflower was overcooked and the peas and bacon was a little plain. Delivery was late but Diego texted us to say he was running behind schedule so that was very considerate. Overall a pleasant experience. - Janice,E1

Great food, speedy delivery and amazing choice. Definitely recommending to everyone. - Nirmesh,E2

Once again (second delivery this week) we were delighted by the excellent quality of these guys' cooking - this time the pork belly with creamed potatoes and cauliflower gratin. Thanks to the chefs - this was just what we needed on a cold February Friday evening. - Nick,E1

Diego & Emanuele saved the evening! I had ordered some mussels for dinner which turned out to be off, but luckily these guys came to the rescue. Lamb was delicious and lots of it, cauliflower very tasty indeed. Keep it up ragazzi. - Josh,E2

The food was outstanding and delivery was right on time! Very highly recommended! - Michael,E15

Thanks so much Diego and Emanuele for our fabulous valentines meal - the roses were a lovely touch! The Pork belly was very tender and the duck was amazing - lots of lovely sides also! Just enjoying the deserts now - perfect portion size, unless you're really greedy like us! Looking forward to my next order! x - John,EC2A

One of the sides was missing but chef was proactive and called me and kindly offered us a free main the next time we ordered. - Tom,E2

Guys, this was great - hot, generous, delicious and very good flavours - much enjoyed and appreciated more soon please. Ps beware the salt! - Nick,E1

Very tasty, the potatoes that accompanied my stew were delicious! Very friendly service, will definitely get this dish again:) - Catherine,E3

Gorgeous food, highly recommend the Lamb Stew.... - marc,E9

Nice, generous portions, delivered on time and piping hot. Good quality dishes. - Angela,E3

Love the idea of Housebites, so really wanted to like our meal... but it was only 'fine'. The duck pasta was tasty, but the beef and lamb stews were a little insipid. Portions were quite small. And we had to put everything in a pan to reheat it, it was pretty cold by the time it got to us. Sorry, I hate to be so critical. - Glyn,E8

Fantastic! Steaming hot, delicious dishes, generous portions, and a cute delivery man. Will definitely order again. - Maggie,E3

simple and very good - nathan,E1

Food was ok but not great. Union Jacks were wet, cauliflower gratin wasn't very gratinated and stew was nice but not amazing. Probably not as good as M&S or Tesco's Finest equivalent for the same price. Thanks for the cookies though. - Gilda,E2

So delicious, thank you and especially for coming out on this freezing night! We'll be ordering again soon. - Alison,E2

Thank you for a delicious meal! So so great! We will definitely return to you next time we feel like ordering in. Lovely! - Thomas,E2

Great food. Came on time. Very happy. Really pleased to of found Housebites. - Jeremy,E2

bravo diego! he was perfectly on time. the meal was hot and really tasty. maroccan lamb 9/10 and beef stew 8/10 ...simply because i love lamb more.....overall very tasty very fresh...will buy again...ciao - federico,E9

The duck was excellent and I loved the vegetables. A lovely sunday dinner. - Nikhil,E15

Super prompt service, food piping hot! lovely home cooked lamb stew - regrettably eaten far too quickly because I was famished..really nice touch to meet the chef who has prepared your food. I will definitely order from Diego & Emanuele again! appreciated the extra treats I received for free. All in all very impressed with first housebites order - Noel,E8

Food was cold, hardly any sauce (about a teaspoon) of which was congealed in the dish. I'm not sure the (by design) raw vegetable side goes with the meat. I wasn't v happy with the dish sorry. The duck was well cooked, if hot and with more sauce would probably have been lovely. - Chris,E8

Food was great - arrived on time and was still hot. Cheese croutons were amazing and theory the lamb and beef stews were delicious. Potatoes with a nice minty edge and the cous cous, which I don't normally like, also wnt down a treat. Overall very good, portion sizes were perfect and I'll definitely be back! - Rachel,E3

Great meal - will be back - Ben,E8

The food was excellent, main and dessert, arrived perfectly on time. Only one comment on the salmon which was perhaps a tiny bit overcooked but other than that, just great! - Nathan,E1

The soup was sublime Loved the salmon with buttered Fennel Stew with Cous cous was great Food was still piping hot on arrival and was delivered right on time Will definitely be ordering again - Nikhil,E15

The peas and potatoes were excellent! The stew was delicious if ever so slightly tough. The duck was also very good (but perhaps didn't travel brilliantly). All top notch for home delivery food. The dessert, however, was disappointing; the mousse was frozen in the centre and and the pears were unripe. - Sarah,E9

Delicious, hot, and right on time. - Catherine,E5

Very tasty, perfect Sunday night supper. Portion of stew was just right and lots of potatoes! - Caroline,N1

The beef was absolutely tender and delicious and the portion was right with lots of potatoes! Union Jacks were still melting when I got them, and well tasty! Tart is amazing and not too sweet, perfect. Lovely dinner! - Arijana,E1
