Berto’s in Teignbridge

Enjoyed our 3rd visit on Sunday evening and always worth the travel from home in Torquay and stay overnight in the White Hart. This is a truly wonderful rustic and cosy family Italian restaurant. A simple menu of perfect thin base pizza and pasta dishes. Busy and atmospheric with an open kitchen for your further entertainment. We were initially attracted by the arresting bright red facade and beautiful display of potted green plants on the pavement. Very reasonable prices especially enhanced as this restaurant, despite being licensed, is also a BYO. Happy days! Another rather lovely and rare feature is that Berto's is doggy friendly. Everyone is happy. TripAdvisor Torbayaotearoa 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

A truly wonderful rustic and cosy family Italian restaurant. We travel from home in Torquay and stay over at the nearby White Hart Inn simply to dine here. Our third visit , we were initially attracted by the arresting bright red facade and beautiful display of potted green plants on the pavement. The simple and reassuring short menu of perfect thin base pizza and pasta dishes doesn't disappointment. Chef happy to prepare a simple tomato and onion side salad. Very popular and atmospheric with an open kitchen in the ground floor area for your added entertainment. An extra bonus is that this restaurant, whilst fully licensed, is also a BYO with a modest £5 corkage. Happy days! This enhances the overall exceptional value. Another rare feature is that Berto's is doggy friendly. Little Italy in a country town in the glorious Devon countryside. What more could you wish for? Everyone is happy except as in the dying words of Mimi in La Bohème, I am mistaken. It's 10 stars.🇬🇧🇳🇿

Came here for food after a long walk with children in the afternoon. There were 8 of us in total, 4 adults, 4 children. We were shown to our table downstairs (we had booked). The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Service was efficient and attentive. We ordered pizzas mainly plus a couple of melanzane dishes. I have no complaints, only praise! The food was excellent and so were the drinks - wine, soft drinks, espressos etc. I would highly recommend going for food here. All the food was authentic Italian cooking - magnificent pizzas. Thank you for having us - we (the children) were quite boisterous! It was a great end to a day out.

Really charming pizzeria with great food, friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Definitely worth a visit.

Scrumptious and good atmosphere.

Just perfect, everything we were looking for. Fantastic pizza and amazing tiramisu. Great atmosphere, friendly ched/owner and assistant waiter (on Friday evening) a cozy comfortable place to eat and chat with friends. House wine was exactly what we wanted too. I loved it, the best eating experience I have had in ages.

We had pizza and antipasto as a takeaway. Really quick service and the food was incredible.

We ate at Berto’s on the recommendation of the owners of the Airbnb we were staying in, and we were so pleased we did - it’s a little gem! This small restaurant looks beautiful from the outside with loads of plants and flowers in pots and the interior is bright and interesting. The menu is classic Italian with a good choice of pizzas and pasta dishes and we chose lasagne and carbonara which were both delicious. Amazingly we managed to find space for some very yummy tirimusu for pudding! A lovely atmosphere, tasty food and reasonable prices made for a very pleasant visit.

If I were to design an Italian, this would be it

One of the most beautiful and delicately curated places to eat Italian dishes. Berto is not only a warm host and great cook, he is also a wood artist. The entire restaurant has been created with his hands. It's a museum. The dishes are exquisite, the pasta fresh, just right, and enjoyable with a good wine, beer or water. Safety pin. Of my trip, it was one of the most endearing moments. Thank you!

Great food, especially the pizzas, salads and desserts. Warm, colourful ambience and friendly staff. Highly recommend Berto's!

Very friendly and cheerful. Small room, small menu and all the better for it. Obvious regulars popping in to repeat booking. Berto and his lady chef were working hard in plain view. I'm going back.

Best. I have had in a long time. Thank you

Easily one of the best carbonara I've had. Delicious house red too. Be careful with the cheesy garlic bread, it's the size of a 12" pizza!

Great pizza, great service, nice atmosphere

There was only room downstairs, the room itself was more 'atmospheric'.

My absolute favourite pizza place. The food is incredible.

Delicious food in a cozy, homely and intimate restaurant. Really good Italian cucumbers. Friendly and attentive service.

Thank you for a good evening. Food was very good. Pizza mafia was not as spicy as I thought it was going to be but still did not disappoint. The ice cream I had a funny aftertaste like if it had something in it to keep the ice cream smooth. Table was quite sticky but not a big deal It was very warm upstairs and very busy and was being bumped from behind by people walking past. I feel they should remove a couple of tables to create more space upstairs. Apart from that I woul recommend to anyone just go earlier in the week Wednesday they are CLOSED THANK YOU BERTO FOR EVERYTHING

Wonderful pizza, authentic atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant. Located in a small town. The staff were friendly and their food is amazing. Prices are fair for the quality of their service and food. Definitely recommend and visit when I’m next in town.

A place to go if you're hunting for an authentic Italian gem in Dartmoor park. As Italian, high standard and quality food. The price is fair.

Great little restaurant. Young chap that served us was really helpful and happy, lovely to see. Good atmosphere and food was excellent.

The service is this restaurant is amazing and the food is the best Italian in Devon such a lovely place would really recommend

Found this little hidden gem whilst staying at Bovey Castle. Very tasty authentic pizza and friendly service

Wonderful atmosphere and incredible authentic Italian food. My sister and I had a lovely meal! Definitely worth a visit

Shared an enjoyable avocado salad. Goat cheese pizza dripping in cheese. Excellent quality. Attractive decor with an intimate feel to restaurant. Friendly service.

What a great little restaurant. Almost seems incongruous in this Dartmoor town but bags of character, warm welcoming staff.

Very compact but a lovely oldy worldy space. Live music and lovely atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and food arrived promptly. Delicious food. I'm sure we will return soon.

All the nostalgia of Italy. Great food and staff. A must visit

Very nice little place for the family. 👍🏻

Lovely charming place, loved the food. Highly recommend it

Lovely place but was empty when we went so not the most atmospheric! Staff very nice.

Following our last review of the 14 October 2022 we simply had to return, the cost of B and B in the White Hart Inn well worth the effort. Afterall, Berto's is a BYO, as rare as hen's teeth in the UK! Reserve a table in the main street level area for its atmosphere and for watching the open kitchen. A busy evening for dining and collecting takeaways. A perfect thin based pizza with a crispy edge. Whilst the lasagna didn't meet expectations, the cost graciously cancelled. A modest £5 corkage makes for excellent value. A cosy, rustic and dare I say proper, Italian restaurant. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

My wife and I visited Berto’s for the first time. It was her birthday and a Friday evening. We booked for 6:30PM. Arriving 5 minutes early the warmth and atmosphere, including the greeting, was welcoming. There were 2-3 tables for four empty at the time, the kitchen smelled great and it was looking like a good choice for something a little special. Unfortunately, that was the high point. We were escorted down a flight of stairs into an empty and cold basement that lacked the ambiance that was so plentiful upstairs. No one else was seated in the basement. We sat next to the space heater that was on maximum, but was barely heating the immediate area much less the whole room which had as many as 36 seats. The waitress was pleasant and patient as we looked over the choices. We were both disappointed with the seating and asked if it was possible to move upstairs. Our server came back with a certain “no, all the tables upstairs are for four.” but we were assured there would be more people coming. OK. We ordered drinks, caprese salad to share, lasagne and a vegetarian pizza. After an appropriate amount of time the caprese arrived, but no fresh basil. There are 3 ingredients in a caprese salad – tomato, mozzarella and BASIL. When we asked about the basil our server went to the kitchen and came back with “we have run out.” OK. The tomato and cheese salad, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, was good, but really how does an Italian restaurant run out of basil at 7PM on a Friday evening? Could we have been told there was no basil when we ordered? The lasagna and pizza were delivered soon after we finished the starter, good timing. We asked for some hot chilli flakes to sprinkle on the pizza, but there were none. Chilli oil was offered, but really it’s very different to pour oil on your pizza vs. a sprinkle of dry chilli flakes. In all honesty the lasagna and the pizza were good. But by 7:45 we were still alone and cold in the basement. Skipping pudding, we went upstairs to the place we’d hoped to dine, only to see the same empty table (possibly 2) we saw when we arrived. When paying, we were asked about the meal. I had to be honest - the atmosphere in the basement was terrible and although the food was good a meal out is more than the food. The owner was quick to offer to comp the food (yes, thank you) and take-away tiramisu (no, thank you), when he overheard our disappointment. But I am not sure how you can allow 2 people to eat in a cold empty basement when you have open seats upstairs – we were told the seats were booked but the people were late or no shows. In my view the experience shows a shocking lack of hospitality.

Delicious pizza and pasta served in a lovely unique boho environment.

I like Berto's. It has a charm that is a strange hybrid of rustic Italy and backwater Devon. It sits well in Moretonhampstead and helps this little town punch above its weight. The service is good, casual but good. But the food could be better. It lacks passion. But then again this is Moretonhampstead, where passion isn't always thick on the ground. I go back regularly but I sometimes wonder why. It is very popular and receives 5 star reviews most of the time. I really hope (and suspect) it will survive Domino's opening in Bovey Tracey.

Excellent local Italian, super food, attentive, friendly and prompt (but not rushed) service. Pasta was perfectly cooked, slightly al dente and the arriabiata sauce was nicely fiery without overpowering the tomato and garlic. The pizza had a good thin, crispy base with plenty of quality toppings and cheese and was good value. Drinks were very reasonable and desert was delicious. Overall the bill was excellent value, the ambience was relaxed and friendly. Booking a table is a good idea as it looks like a busy and well supported place.

This is a cracking pizzeria! The pizzas are superb - from my experience they’d genuinely rival pizzas in Italy. The staff are friendly, accommodating, witty, and helpful. The background music is excellent and the decor is charmingly eclectic. Six stars!

Lovely small restaurant. We had takeaway on a Monday night. service excellent, both the server and chef both very friendly. No waiting times and food very authentic, flavourful, perfect for a takeaway night in.

Süßes kleines Restaurent, Essen & Service waren super!

Lovely friendly place, with delicious food, some of the best we have had outside of Italy and wine highly recommended, very good value for money

Berto's is lovely! Food and service are great and it's highly recommended. They also do brilliant takeaway pizza so you can enjoy a picnic up on the Moor in style.

Lovely date night at Bertos this monday. Our waitress was amazing. Excellent service and helped to recommend me the meat feast pizza which was INCREDIBLE. Will be coming back when in Moretenhampstead (what a gem it is).

Lovely food, our waitress K was extremely attentive and was extremely friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed and all together ensuring we had a lovely evening.

Visited twice this week, one as a couple and once as a family of 9. Lovely food and service. No room on either occasion for deserts. Excellent value

What a gem, well worth a visit. Good food, friendly atmosphere and great value.

What a gem of a place! Felt like we were right back in Italy again. The service is perfect, friendly and attentive without being too much, the atmosphere was great, laid back and cosy, nothing pretentious or gimmicky. The food was beautiful, truly authentic, we asked for a few extras to the meals and to make a smaller pizza for our young daughter which was no problem. Ask about the specials, they live up to their name! Very reasonably priced too. This place is on our new favourite's list and we'd definitely make a detour to come again.

Klein maar gezellig restaurant met hele lekkere echte Italiaanse pizza's, bijna beter dan in Italië zelf. Erg vriendelijk personeel.

The best restaurant in town. Very good Italian specialties are served. The owners are very friendly nice and helpful. We can only recommend this wonderful pizzeria. A must in this very pleasant city.

Went for an early dinner at 6pm. Place was buzzing with several family groups. We ordered a vegetable lasagne and a seafood salad. The lasagne was small and garlic bread turned out to be a plain pizza. The salad was very disappointing and comprised large chunks of chewy octopus on lettuce with not much else. I complained but got “I will tell the chef” reply. Curious because the chef was standing right behind him!

Simple, brilliant Italian food in a lovely environment with really great service. Immense.

Super little Italian place. Good good and service

Good independent Italian restaurant. Delicious food. Great friendly service. Would go again.

Lovely little Italian restaurant where the food is amazing and the staff are friendly. A must visit place. Highly recommend.

This is the best food Iv ever had everything was perfect the restaurant is spotless clean

Just love this place, the staff and ambience. Am I biased because I'm Italian, 😄 of course not. The food is Molto Buono! Will be going back for sure ♥️

Amazing little place! Great atmosphere, great good, lovely staff! Huge portions!

Charming restaurant with a relaxed, lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Great food. My wife and I stumbled upon it during our holiday and are so glad that we did.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had, the staff were so friendly and the price was very reasonable!! Thank you! :)

Friendly helpful staff, quick service and nice atmosphere and delicious pizza

We went there with our two children for dinner because some friends recommend us the restaurant, as soon we arrive the service was very slow and we order very late even if the restaurant was not busy ,after we order i saw the arabic woman chef cooking our pizza and talking on the phone in the same time which is not hygienic at all... and when the pizza arrived it was missing toppings and was over cooked and dry . The old italian chef was tasting the food with his hand without washing after ,and also was using one towel to clean his sweating and that towel it was left all over the kitchen which is dramatically unhygienic . - Guys did you ever think you are cooking under the supervision of the customers who can obviously follow you to see how you cook their food!? -In the toilet they have only one towel for all customers which is not hygienic at all , in My way back from toilet i realised is smell very strong marijuana , and this was confirmed to me later because the old italian chef which is probably the owner was making a marijuana cigarette right in the front of the desk probably thinking that no one can see him, but it was very easy to realize that he was doing marijuana because of the very strong smell, while we were at the table next to the desk. Obviously this thing made us to have issues about the food preparation and we decided to leave as soon as possible but again we asked the bill and the waiter was very slow as usual! Please think about our children coming in this restaurant what they could see... Looking online this restaurant is got lots of wonderful reviews and i don't understand how ! All these together disgusted us and we will definitely not return or recommend this place. Perhaps a report to the authorities could help them stop .

This is a real gem of a place to eat❤, really delicious Italian food in quirky, characterful surroundings, always buzzing with customers and so reasonably priced.

If you want to eat out in this part of Devon your choice is either pricey gastropub or (much rarer) slightly less pricey traditional pub fayre. Or this place, a small but freakishly good pizzeria transplanted from Naples. They were packed last Tuesday, mostly with Italians and with good reason, everything we had was excellent.

Living in Torquay we have noticed this wonderful little Italian restaurant when passing through. Unusually a BYO, we decided to make the best of it and stay over at the White Hart Inn. Beautiful plant display at the entrance whilst inside you will find a delightfully rustic dining room. Open kitchen for further entertainment. An excellent thin base pizza. My wife was a little disappointed with her lasagna and the lovely crew graciously reduced the price. Excellent wines purchased from The Bottle Shop opposite. Doggy friendly. Handy tip: reserve your table in the main street level room as this is more atmospheric than the basement. We shall return!🇬🇧🇳🇿

First class restaurant with vey nice surroundings and excellent food. If in the area dont miss the chance to visit.

We visit Moretonhampstead at least twice a year and we've been visitors to Berto’s since they opened. Due to our small (grand)children we have a take away, and there are usually 9 pizzas on order. We've not had an issue yet… A. M.A.zing. Can’t thank them enough for such excellent pizzas and excellent service ❤️❤️❤️

Superb welcoming Italian with amazing food and atmosphere. BeBe and Berto run an amazing place with top food and wine and looked after us very well

Fantastic authentic pizza in a lovely environment. Best pizza I have eaten outside of Italy! Also do great spaghetti dishes and really nice dessert. Book - as always busy. Downstairs great with a big (6 or more) party. Upstairs great for small groups.

Absolutely outstanding meal here with all the family. The service was quick even though we were 9 adults and a baby. The staff were very friendly and oh my god the food was good. We will be dreaming about the pizza here for years to come!

We have both eaten in, which was lovely in the cosy surroundings with excellent service and taken-out. The food is simply the best Italian food I have had. What a find in the middle of Dartmoor

We ordered takeaway pizza which were delicious … lovely thin crispy base, lots of fresh toppings and herbs. Best pizza we’ve eaten in the UK. And lovely service too. Highly recommend!!

Great all round. Relaxed charming atmosphere, friendly efficient staff. Food is great and wonderful value.

The Pizzas were excellent and I strongly recommend them as probably the best cooked food that Moretonhampstead has to offer. We had to wait for service, seated in the downstairs room, which was pleasant enough but somewhat airless. Another patron was coughing a lot and I wondered if this was my night to catch Covid! The best table downstairs is in the window and was reserved for a well known local customer. Consider takeaway!

Unbelievable everything was top on the hill.Food quality nothing to say,the best pizza in Uk I can say.Nice people with good vibes,good service,looking forward to came back.
