Buongiorno Bistro in Solihull

This is a must-visit spot for seafood lovers in Solihull! The oysters and prawns were absolutely top-notch—so fresh and flavorful. The service was equally impressive, with the staff being incredibly friendly and attentive throughout. Highly recommended! p.s. booking in advance to secure your table.

The perfect Italian lunch in this homely & very welcoming restaurant. Highly recommended!

Everyone should try here at least once. Perfect for special occasions or a family gathering. The staff are excellent. The food is to did for.

As usual 5 star service for l'aragosta. Everything was excellent.

PERFECT restaurant. Our first time trying this gem. Such delicious food, we had seafood dishes, bolognese and pizza. Everything was perfect. Staff were really lovely and friendly. Will definitely come again!!! :)

Really loved the food. Good veggie options too. Friendly staff. Thanks for making my birthday awesome.

Great food but the tin bowls collapsed in transit and there was a bit of a mess on the bag with lots of waste.

The best restaurant for the food, the courtesy of the staff. You are wonderful

Very good service and food. It’s always nice going here.

Never fails to impress. Best Italian restaurant for seafood. The service is excellent ! Janino is very welcoming and always goes above and beyond and caters to pesonal preferences.. ask for the seafood platter.. its a fish lovers dream. A hidden gem !!

Great restaurant for take-aways and for eating in. We love it.

Fantastic, super friendly and warm service. Delicious fresh seafood. Menu with many dishes I wanted to try, I could barely decide which to choose. And a lemon digestif at the end of dinner really wrapped up a lovely evening in this charming restaurant.

All dishes we ordered were fantastic. The atmosphere there was warm and pleasant.

Me and my partner decided to pop in on a off chance it would be nice Well it was amazing recommend the stake with Diane sauce We will definitely be back to try something different

Had the 9oz and the rack of lamb Everything, and I mean everything is 100%. 1st date or a catch up with friends this is one for the belly and the insta food pictures🙌

The best Italian I have ever had!! Had the prawn ravoli and the flavours were mouth watering , unique and sensational. Will never go anywhere else now as it just won't compare. Prices very reasonable , service was great, staff friendly and lovely restaurant environment. I'm so grateful my friend introduced me to this place!

Excellent food with an extensive menu, but on the pricy side. Service was a little slow even though only 2 tables were occupied. Would go back for a special occasion. They do a prix fixe menu too.

Amazing food and service. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our family dinner and we would definitely recommend to others.

Consistently good food and service. Ambience is very relaxed and food is always freshly cooked and presented immaculately. Best Italian by far in the Midlands

Fantastic food great wine super staff

This review could be quite short as we were simply lost for words when we dined at the Wilderness. So here goes, the atmosphere was out of this world, right on point for our taste. The service was 10 out of 10, very attentive, nothing too much trouble, the food was just out of this universe, we were given clear detailed insights in to each and every course, the deserts were simply divine. If you are ever in Birmingham and want to experience some fine dining in a totally unique setting, you will not be disappointed..Bow to you guys.

The food is still good, only that the pistachios chesse cake becomes a normal new york cheese cake now. Hope that the chef will consider to make it like previously.

Just moved into the area and decided to come here. The staff were lovely, made me feel very welcome and the food was great.

The food in the restaurant is delicious and of high quality, highly recommended👍

Mediocre Italian restaurant. Nothing wrong with the food, just nothing special. £30 bottle of wine turns out to be £2:50 retail price.

It was so delicious that I felt like I was visiting Italy again. We will definitely come back and try more dishes.

Amazing food. Incredibly helpful and polite staff this is our first choice restaurant. Updated review we have been dozens of times since my initial review and felt the need to review again as still outstanding had a meal last week and we was blow away unbelievable quality the tastiest food by miles

This was by far the best restaurant we have ever visited. The seafood was fantastic and everybody was lovely, we had a great night and will definitely be returning.

Delicious food with excellent service. Grazie!

The service here was terrible, one of the workers was very rude and arrogant. I came in to inquire about the menu and they were very dismissive. My interaction with this worker was very unpleasant and startling as I did not expect this customer service from this establishment. It honestly put me off and I would never set foot in this place again. There are plenty other places in Acocks green that provide better food and service and still are welcoming and warm to their customers. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

The best Italian I have tasted in a long time, portion size is great, price is good considering the portion and quality of food, which is amazing. Don't let the location put you off. This is a little gem of an Italian restaurant.

Lovely atmosphere, all the staff were lovely. Felt very welcome - we sat in the back section. Enjoyed the montepulciano red wine by the glass very much and the food was great. We look forward to returning.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by friendly staff and escorted to our table. They are not intrusive, so you can choose from a wide range of choices. Of course, if you don't know something, they'll be happy to advise you👏 Everything was fantastic and I can recommend it to everyone because it's a perfect Italian restaurant. 💯

If you want to try the real Italian taste this is the place 100% recommended and the service from Joe was wonderful! Keep it up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this place, never had a bad meal here. Fish is amazing, but everything else is great too!

Wonderful food, great service and friendly people

Lovely independent Italian restaurant that me and my partner visit frequently. Great menu with loads of options and excellent service by the staff. Looking forward to the next time!

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food was delicious, great service and the decor was plush. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again. Service was excellent; friendly and efficient.

Friendly and helpful staff. Service was excellent, and food was brilliant. Lovely atmosphere good value for money.

First time eating at the restaurant for a family celebration. Definitely recommend L'aragosta to dine; The food, staff and management were excellent.

This was one of the best restaurants I have been to. There were 5 of us, and the restaurant staff accommodated us very well. The manager was really lovely too. The food was 10/10, it was the best Italian food we have had. I recommend this restaurant, and you can tell that the chef’s heart and soul was used when making the food. Absolutely amazing, can’t wait to come again. Everything was cooked to perfection, we had a variety of starters and mains, and had tiramisu and the pistachio cheesecake for dessert. I really recommend this restaurant, such a lovely place and atmosphere 💕

Live music on a Friday evening. Attentive service, you get given a buzzer for your table. Food was spectacular, so much choice but all cooked to perfection. Only negative was we wasn't asked if we wanted dessert, however we were too full anyway.

Delicious real Italian restaurant. Fantastic food and service, both for a random meal out and for a special celebration.

First time we had been and the food and service was amazing ! Definitely be going back and frequently ! Lovely night

Beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed our visit and will be back.

Popped in for lunch and had the Diavola Pizza and was lovely! Will definitely be going back and sampling the rest of the menu! Quick service and nice staff. Went in again today 25/8 same experience again - Lovely food and fantastic service

We absolutely love this restaurant and have all our family celebrations here. The staff are amazing with the children, there are lots of menu choices and the food never fails - it's beautiful!

I was married to an Italian man for 7 yrs , worked with an Italian chef for 2 years.. the food was substandard.. but expensive.. their chef needs a cooking class

Never disappointing. Best italian restaurant for miles!

Absolute scam - advertise 25% off before 5pm Monday-Friday, we tried to call ahead to order but they didn’t pick up, so we did it online (conveniently they called us back dead on 5pm…) and we ordered before 5pm. Arrived to collect but the discount wasn’t added - I flagged to the staff and they offered us free chips instead of 25% off a £65 bill as advertised…false advertising and awful customer service, no thanks, you can keep your overpriced food

Bellisimo Exquisite food, attentive service. ....cant wait to return

Seven of us out for dinner yesterday and every single course we had was divine. Very good wines also. Could not fault anything. Thankyou to all the staff for being so attentive and friendly😉

We was today for dinner everything was perfect real italian taste!

Three of us visited for a celebration and reserved online. Upon arrival we were greeted nicely and shown to our table at the rear of the restaurant. Last time we visited L'aragosta it was just the small front of the shop and small upstairs, now it has a large rear reastaurant too and it was well decorated and furnished. We had called ahead and asked if they served non alcoholic Prosseco, unfortunately they didn't but if we wanted to bring our own there was a £10 surgharge. The meal itself was very nice and cooked well, HOWEVER the meal wasn't complete and sides needed to be ordered to complete the meal. Mixed vegetables an extra £5 so three meals add another £15 to the bill, add 2 fries add another £7 to the bill so that's £22 on top of what your paying for your main meal. Throughout the evening we purchased from the bar non alcoholic beers and 2 gin and tonics, wine and water, so I was rather surprised that the £10 corkage had still been added even after purchasing other drinks and especially as they didn't sell Non alcoholic prosecco. In all the food was lovely and the staff were attentive and considerate, only let down by incomplete meals and the £10 charge for supplying our own Non alcoholic prosecco. Pictures added are of meatballs, tiger prawns starters and main of surf and turf before adding sides. Total bill, £153 for 2 starters, 3 mains and drinks.

We were lucky to find it, it was conveniently located not too far from the car park. The first member of staff who came to take our drinks orders had no idea what was in the menu, I found that disappointing. Yes, I understand they specialise in seafood and pasta, however they don’t have gluten-free pasta, and if some your group members are vegetarian, well they only have a couple of dishes for vegetarians😢, but nothing for vegan ones. I ordered risotto and asked if they can make it vegetarian, I was grateful that the chef was okay with that. It tasted okay, but it was very rich and heavy on the stomach. The meat eaters in our group were very happy with their food, so I would overall it was a nice experience.

THE tiramisu was DIVINE! I’m coming back for more 🦞🦐

11 of us had a dinner here last Saturday, every single course was delicious, the seafood was fresh. The desserts were also big and delicious. Service, food, atmosphere were just amazing. Can highly recommend.

雖然這意大利餐廳並不豪華，但環境舒適乾淨，食材新鮮，芝士好吃，烹調非常好。 每個餐份量不少，以午餐最抵吃，晚餐亦不貴。

Amazing fresh, delicious food, with a wonderful atmosphere and great bunch of friendly staff!

Heard it was good and thought it was even better! Friendly service and extensive choice of amazing food.

Superb evening meal and drinks, highly recommend.

Fantastic little Italian restaurant. Had some great food from here and some great times with friends

Husband treated me for my birthday to lunch. Had a fantastic time. Great choice on the menu. Food tasted great and was presented lovely. Great authentic Italian restaurant. Will be returning.

Absolutely beautiful food,and great service. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic birthday lunch, waiter was very professional, food Fantastic, great Italian authentic food. Five star cooking by chef, definitely going back soon.

We had a really lovely meal. Great seafood, wine and friendly staff.

Another fabulous meal to celebrate news of another grandbaby on its way, (any excuse). We are early evening diners, so not crowded or noisy. Staff are lovely, always on hand, and are happy to oblige. The food is always impeccably presented, piping hot, and generous portions. 100% recommend. Street parking.

Really wanted to enjoy this place as it would have been nice to have a decent local italian. Not sure where to start but for the price you pay you expect quality. The pizza was in no way authentic (also it never had nduja on it like stated on the menu BUT THEY DIDNT BOTHER TO TELL ME BEFORE SERVING IT), had 0 flavour and clearly they used pre-grated cheese on it. My meatballs were also tiny and really didn't taste like great quality beef, the sauce they were covered in was kinda thin and runny and had 0 flavour. Honestly i feel bad giving this review but the price to quality ratio is kinda criminal. Also I'm a person that doesn't mind paying more if the quality is there but this was not the case at all.

Service was pretty terrible, waited over an hour for food. When the food did come the quality was awful. Pizza dough was poor, and was undercooked, ingredients I’ve never seen a whole carrot on a pizza before. We also had the calzone, ingredients again were poor. Price is very expensive, we paid over £50 for two, one of us did not drink anything. Service at the end of the night was poor yet again, sat waiting for the bill. I had a glimpse of the kitchen on the way out and it was a mess and filthy, which made things worse.

Vraiment magnifique rien à dire cuisine services et ambiance. Miam miam ☺️ Bon continuation. FATI FRANCE

I live in Birmingham about 23 years and this my 2nd time am visiting this lovely restaurant it’s the best restaurant from the start till the end my food was so delicious lovely people working in that place I will definitely recommend this place keep it up guys 😘😘

Fabulous food, excellent service, reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly, informative, accommodating and efficient.

Just home from a delightful meal here. The staff were so lovely and attentive to all of us. The food was delicious, and nice portion sizes. It really is a hidden gem.

The second time visiting this restaurant and the food was excellent, the staff are friendly and the restaurant has great ambience.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, lovely food. Overall it was lovely 👌 they have gained a new customer and I will recommend highly.

Utterly scrumptious! Very big, generous portions. Lots of fabulous options to choose from. The service was superb. I can't WAIT to go back. ❤️

This place is fantastic! Great food and service. An authentic Italian restaurant that you’ll love.

Went with family and all loved food and service. Well done to all staff who did all to make a lovely evening.

Absolutely brilliant, can't wait to go back.

I have used this restaurant in at least 8 occasions. Anything from a quick lunch to dinner for business visitors. This place just gets better every time. I advise anyone to visit it’s brilliant.

Wonderful, family-run restaurant. Staff who can't do enough for you, great cosy atmosphere and fabulous fresh food. A little gem in Olton Hollow!

Amazing food and service. Definitely recommend 👌 👍

Amazing sea food, staff were very attentive. Lovely romantic atmosphere

The food is always divine here and the setting lovely. The Italian radio in the background gives a Mediterranean feel to the experience. The prices are surprisingly high for such a small venue, in a nondescript location. Prices mean visits will be restricted to just special occasions, when it would be nice to visit more regularly.

Really lovely! Friendly service and delicious food, prepared with care. Highly recommended.

Very smart. Good food and excellent service. Well worth a visit. M Mouse

Great service. Fantastic food. Loved the seafood platter and mussels!!

Absolutely beautiful food amazing service staff were very welcoming quick service beautiful drinks and amazing prices can't wait to go back

Visited for the first time and will definitely go back. Staff friendly nice decor. Sad that we went on a Saturday and place not full but that's probably sign of the times. Bet it would normally be really busy. Looking forward to the next visit and the beautiful food.

Defo a really great Italian.! Food and service 1st class. Will be back to see if there is a romantic touch too

Absolutely fantastic meal for my 17 year olds birthday. He loved it, "best steak ever". Fantastic quality and excellent service.
