Been here before. May have reviewed other before. No matter. Last night three of the four of us opted for steak. Absolutely fabulous. Don’t overlook the steak option!

The food was good however the restaurant was very cold and I had to wear my coat all evening. Even the water in the loos to wash your hands was cold. I think they are trying to save electricity. No music and the ambiance was cold with terrible lighting and decor. Usually Italian restaurants are warm and friendly and very welcoming but sadly this wasn’t. .

My son's brought me to this gem of a restaurant for lunch on my birthday. Plenty of choice on the menu, a good wine list and reasonable prices. We really enjoyed our food and the service was excellent (it was lunch time and very quiet). I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Italian food is my favourite 😊

Lovely food well presented. Very friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant surroundings. Would have given 5 stars, but main meal plates weren't hot enough, so food didn't stay warm. Will be back to try other menu choices.

Wow, what a lovely restaurant. I live in London, but have family in Highworth, so I've been coming to Highworth for year's and always drive past this restaurant. I'm not a lover off Italian food, but my uncle booked as a surprise for my my auntie and us. I was very worried as I have celiac disease so coming to a place were pasta and flour is thrown around in kitchen, I was panicking, but I was so relieved when the waiter said they do a range off gluten free food 😀. I had garlic bread with cheese and a massive pizza which was soooo good. The service was excellent too. I now will vist again or have a take away. I highly recommend this restaurant even if you have food allergy.

As a large group of 26 we often struggle with food orders so always prebook. This place was no different and although we had to sit on two tables it’s was ok. The food was amazing and all came out together really hot and most definitely tasty. On tap with drinks and pretty much anything we needed. The waiting staff really did an amazing job and were so attentive. Sadly whist trying to pay as a group we always paid for what we had individually or as couples. This wasn’t the case and the guy taking the bill made it so complicated and told us we had to pay as one and not separately! Which is something unheard of and the only reason I can think is the benefit to the restaurant not having to pay the service fee. Hard times I guess. So I’d recommend if going as a couple or small group but definitely not large as my husband ended up paying the whole bill 😏

A group of seven of us visited on the evening of Tuesday 13 June for our annual get together. What a great restaurant. Fabio was simply outstanding! The warmth of the welcome, the attention to detail and the quality of the food were all excellent. Although we were full after our delicious main courses most of squeezed in a pudding. We were not disappointed! Big thanks to Fabio on front of house and to those who worked their magic in the kitchen producing our lovely meal.

We were a group of seven friends getting together for our annual college reunion. We didn't know Highworth but found Ciao Eatalia and decided to try it that night. We were so pleased we did. Fabio was so good-natured and welcoming, as was the chef. The menu offered plenty of variety. Some of us had had a main meal earlier and only wanted starters but that didn't disappoint him at all. Those of us who ordered mains were very pleased! I had Asparagus risotto which was full of asparagus, and beautifully cooked with creamy and tender arborio rice. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his 'Linguini Ciao Eatalia', with Panna cotta for dessert. I had delicious profieroles filled with fresh cream and covered with a foaming chocolate sauce. Really enjoyable for everyone. Highwoth suited our needs perfectly, so we'll be back next year and hope to eat there again! Such a pleasure! Thanks Fabio!

Authentic Italian setting, great for all ages. Great waiting staff, which feels like a family business. Lot's of variation on the menu. I rate it a 3 for two reasons, my pizza was under cooked and I didn't get what I ordered, but the waiter knocked the pizza off the bill. All the other food we ordered was lovely. The restaurant is lovely but the bathroom facilities are old, dated and have a damp smell

This was myself and my sons first visit here We booked online for Monday at 7pm - and it won’t be our last. The venue was lovely and calm. Music was at a lovely level. The menu was great size easily to read. The food was absolutely delicious and very tasteful, the staff was very polite and respectful, and remembering to serve the lady first. And the prices was very reasonable. We also tested the dessert menu and they was also delicious and well presented. And it was lovely to see hand written bills. On all I was really impressed with this restaurant.

First time out after second lockdown and it was all we were hoping for. The food was excellent,my wife had whitebait as a starter followed by sirloin and I had scallops followed by seafood risotto.

Went here for dinner on a Friday evening and it was reasonably busy. Very attentive staff and all set for a good meal.Drinks and starters consumed all very satisfactory, I had the whitebait and my partner had the gorgonzola mushrooms both very tasty. My partner ordered the veal and I had the 24 hr8 slowroast belly pork, the veal was fine but when my pork arrived it looked dry and when I started to cut into it I came across the butchers string and confirmation it was dry and tough. Not being one to complain I continued but after a couple of attempts I realised it was not possible to enjoy as it was taking a lot of chewing.Having told the waiter the manager was called and he readily agreed to get a replacement. Well, the new pork was as good as the first was bad, I was brought a steak knife with the second but it was not required you could cut with a fork and full of flavour. Full marks for rectifying this efficiently and courteously.We enjoyed the rest of the meal and would return.Our table was in the middle of the restaurant and this meant that staff and customers were constantly walking past our table which was probably at the most 2ft from adjacent tables. Other tables were available so I would feel it would have been better if the table was removed allowing a better gangway. Otherwise safety precautions seemed entirely satisfactory.

We met up for a catch up with a friend we haven’t seen in a while and first time back since COVID and it was even better than I remember. After sitting down and our order being taken first our drinks arrived followed by the starters. I had the goats cheese and onion bruschetta and it was fantastic. For main the prawn linguine which was very nice. Just a squeeze of lemon juice away from perfection for my taste. The service was amazing made to feel so welcome and comfortable. Highly recommend anyone when in town to give them a Visit!

We always have a big meal on the last night of our holidays and we dined here at Ciao Eatalia last night. The food was delicious with plenty of choice for my husband, who can't eat cheese, which rare in lots of Italian restaurants. The service was spot on, friendly, attentive and just the right amount of time between each course. The only disappointment is that we don't live nearer.

There is always an enthusiastic authentically Italian welcome here for impossibly large pasta portions, good fish soup and excellent meat dishes, all served with style. The sparse decor could do with a bit more character, but the food is what matters and it does not disappoint.

In the company of 9 family and friends, we enjoyed an excellent lunch with superb service. The owners had been very flexible over changing numbers of guests because of the present fluid situation. On entering we were greeted warmly and immediately were requested to clean our hands with gel, which reassured us about the standard of hygiene. The quality of the food was outstanding, the best Italian meal I have ever had including meals I've had previously in Italy. Every one thoroughly enjoyed their chosen dishes. I intend to return when the emergency is over, although we live over 40 miles away. In the meantime, the restaurant will deliver prepared meals. I hope they will receive good support from local people.

My husband and i both like Inspector Montalbano TV series. As Commissario we also like good food. And Ciao Eatalia in Highworth was one of our favorite restaurants. But disappointments happen like our recent Valentine's dinner has been ruined. My fish soup was not hot and fresh enough and prettty bland with no plate waste and wipes. Short pasta in main was undercooked. My husband had Deep fried breaded escallops and it was tasteless. Just because we didn’t want ruined our special evening we didn’t complain straight away. Plus we did not want to embarass restaurant staff in front of other people. I now intend to post my review because I beleive I’ll be helping the restaurant, too. Criticism makes us better as it helps us improve. Dear Ciao Eatalia, people are coming to your restaurant for dinner and you’re in the business of making people happy. Isn’t it? Restaurants make mistakes - a good restaurant will want to know about them so they can address the issue and work to make sure it doesn’t happen again with future customers. And reputation is very important.Commissario Montalbano is a man who “understands things” in a world. I hope you will understand too.

We have visited this lovely italian on many occasions and always had amazing food and service .. so thought we would take some freinds for a Birthday meal... our freinds had not been before so we were very sure they would have a great experience ..Firstly we booked table for 6 people at 7.30 .. one of our party took a birthday ballon into the restaurant to put on our table (which I believe should have been the table for 6 people we had reserved )However when we arrived the balloon had been put on someone elses table ?? we were seated at a table for 7 ?? 5 of our party ordered starters which took almost an hour to arrive of which the waiter dropped one on the floor which meant we had to wait another 20mins for a second one to be prepared? One of our party ordered Steak to be rare arrived well done and was so tough couldnt cut it this was replaced and not charged .. the whole experience was ruined and now very reluctant to go back .. such a shame

This restaurant is all about time and keeping to time which includes being turned away at 17:55 on a very cold night - (not something I was ecstatic about as I was on foot) until they opened their doors at 6pm! That said, once in and having ordered a Siciliana Pizza (with anchovies) - time again was of the essence and this was in my favour... it was delicious, just right on the saltiness and crispy on the edges. The pizza was a fine thin crust with maximum topping and the service was friendly and attentive without being imposing.Staff are Italian and it has a family-feel about the place, which just adds to its authenticity.Although choices for dinner are limited in this little town on a Sunday night - this restaurant will not disappoint. No other choices required!

Arranged to meet a friend here who chose the restaurant after reading all the wonderful reviews. The place was full and they seemed local people. We ordered the chefs starters, although they seemed bought in and certainly not home made we had ordered a pizza to share. When this arrived there was no tomato base on the pizza, no goats cheese and cold asparagus laid on top. It was probably the worst pizza I’ve ever had! This was not a fresh cooked home made meal. Being ‘Italian’ we thought it might take pride in the food but no. The place was full when we left. I refused to pay for the pizza but the manager didn’t offer us anything in return and I won’t be going back. Highworth can do so much better and I think maybe people think this food is acceptable!! Don’t go expecting great Italian home cooked food!!

This was our second visit here after being impressed the first time and this time was no different ... the food came quickly and was nice and fresh, good sized portions and after spending a good bit of money had a shot on the house which was a nice gesture.

I visited in February, was very disappointed with a badly cooked steak but had no reaction from the manager so wrote a critical review. A day or so later the manager called my office to apologise. He then wrote to me offering a discount if we were to visit again and spoke to my wife to confirm this. We've since made the return visit and were very pleased, so now offering a positive review to reecognise customer service very well delivered. Thank-you Gianluca

She had to ask 4 times for her side salad. 2 other friends ordered a bottle of rosé wine to share £18 the bottle had Tesco written all over it, a google search says it retails for £4 a £14 mark up is disgusting.

Approximately 60 descended on CiaoEatalia on a Sunday evening. You know quickly you're in a Italian restaurant, I had met Fabio, the chef, beforehand and agreed the menu. I knew Gianluca already from an earlier previous visit, he supervises front of house in a quiet efficient manner. Serving 60 could have gone wrong - but it didn't, they kept up the usual high standards I have previously enjoyed.

The service was great and their Italian Coffee is the best. There is plenty to chose from their menu and they also offer daily specials. Their food is delicious, well presented and plentiful and the Restaurant is warm, clean and cosy. Perfect.

Excellent food, slightly kitsch setting, attentive, friendly and unobtrusive waiting. All of the party liked the food and were happy with the variety offered and good sized amounts. .

It was the first time we’d been here and were pleased with both the food and the service. It was relatively good value and there was a lot of choice on the menu, even for vegetarians.

I have visited Ciao eatalia for the first time last Saturday, busy place so is a good sign, we were 6 people, the food was quick and freshly prepared , the manager was very happy to help my wife with the gluten free options, cos he said we can do most of the many gf, really tasty food and quick service , loved the baby amarone suggested, and the traiminer white wine, good wine selection, I will defenetly come back, by the way most of the food is home made u can see from the pizza shapes and bread and focaccia , isn’t like big chain restaurant, 100% Italian waiters and chefs, they all came out to sing for my son birthday . Thanks and I will be back soon,

Another visit to our favourite restaurant. Once again the food was excellent and the service to match. We have frequented the property through it’s previous owners and incarnations, from Chinese and Malaysian Fusion, to one of the very best Italian Restaurants around. Fortunately, we live in the area and we hope that the Ciao Eatalia remains in our town, long term.

Arrived late, empty, but friendly efficient staff, good service (maybe because it was late as everyone wants to finish work) like Italian restaurants used to be! and, really, good food.!! Top marks

We have lived in Highworth for 10 years and this is the first time we have visited the restaurant (it hasn't been there for 10 years was a chinese takeaway before hand). I have to say everything about the restaurant was first class. Friendly service, great food at what I think was a very reasonable price (2 huge bowls of pasta, a side order and 2 drinks for less than £30) and lovely decor. We will certainly be visiting again in the near future. A hidden gem

Nice food, staff very nice. Would have rated a 5 if more flexibility with swapping veg and potatoes for chips, slightly confused why they couldn't do it.

Great food and service at a reasonable price. This restaurant will become a regular now I have found this place.

Wanted a late, long, Friday lunch. Only customers so I suspect this is a place to come in the evening but staff attentive none the less. Run by a Sicilian family. Authentic and very freshly cooked food and probably the best bottle of very reasonably priced Sicilian Grillo I have tasted in quite a while. If I came back to Highworth I would come again.

If you are looking for an evening filled with cocktails and sophistication then maybe Beni's isn't for you. If you want a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff , efficient service , sensibly priced drinks , friendly locals and good bar side banter then this is the place to go. It reminded me of one of my favourite locals of yester year where everybody was up for the craic and very little was off limits . I spent most of the afternoon laughing , I really enjoyed myself Good work Beni's wine bar real places like this are getting harder to find .I'll be back

Went for a friends birthday meal, expected the worst as last time I was here was years ago back when I was little I’m now 21. I can gladly say it was really good! I ordered a cheeseburger with chips and every bit of the burger was delicious and the chips were spot on, ate the lot. Then for pudding I had brownie with ice cream and this was sickly but so good, didn’t manage to eat all of it due to how rich it was but still good. Overall I’d give this restaurant a 8.5/10
