Compà in Broxtowe

Excellent food, service and ambience.

Lovely family run restaurant, great food and friendly service. Very good value too. Second time the family have been and won't be the last.

Great food - traditional family recipes, not just your typical “Italian” choices; friendly, cozy atmosphere in the very busy restaurant; the owner/manageress was particularly friendly and attentive. Well recommended.

It was the first we’ve been to Compa, we went to the one in Nottingham, we all really enjoyed it. Will definitely go again and recommend it.

Delicious porchetta, I am a sucker for fennel and it was delightfull used in the dish.

Couldn't fault a thing. Lovely welcome and amazing service. The food was just incredible! Portions on the smaller side which honestly suited us, and left plenty of room for the desserts which were absolutely delicious! Wish I lived local so I could make this a regular visit :)

Went in and ordered the cannolis for takeaway and they did not disappoint. The large ones are huge 😍. Fantastic flavour and made to order. Thank you

Went with my partner. We had the porchetta, the pasta al forno, and the insalata siciliana. It was our first time there and the staff were very helpful at making recommendations from the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, the porchetta being the standout (although everything was amazing). The atmosphere is great. It's cosy without being cramped, decorated with charm and character, and feels full of life without being too loud. Would very much recommend.

I think I've just found my new favourite restaurant! I had my 40th birthday party at Compa and it was wonderful! All the staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was incredible! Absolutely delicious. I had the porchetta and I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! World highly recommend Compa to anyone 👍

Visited for the first time with friends. We were very warmly greeted when we arrived and were able to select our own table. Service was good, however relaxed, not rushed which we all liked as we felt we had time to chat, choose our food and not feel rushed in any way. The food we had was lovely, well cooked and well presented, we all very much liked the bowls our mains were served in! I would definitely want to visit again and try something different from the menu as all the meals that we saw other tables have looked so good too. Thank you for a really great evening.

Fantastic food and a lovely warm welcome! Best food I’ve had outside Italy!! Highly recommended!!

Delicious porchetta. The meat was tender and tasty, and the spuds were delicious, too.

Beeston Locals for 3 years now and we have tried n tested a multitude of Restaurants around here. Glass Orchid was fully booked until 5:30pm today (Saturday) and I wanted to take my chica for lunch someplace nice. So I wondered what Compá would be like and took the chance by reserving us a table. Incredible. We walked in and were instantly greeted by presumably the Owner and her two young men waiting staff. All smiles and super welcoming of us. The little restaurant is not the flashiest setting with like dom perignon bottles in ice buckets on every table or anything 'wannabe' but instead warmly basic. Menu is condensed to say the least with a mere 5 or so dish options on every course, but something about this left us feeling more content. Food is delectable and ***** five stars. Loved our first visit to Compá Beeston!

Real Sicilian food as served in Sicily! Everything about Compa takes you to an authentic, off the tourist track eatery, where the locals eat, in Sicily. Authenticity is through every detail of the great food, surroundings, ambience and friendly service.

A really great meal for a family group of 6. Andrea was so welcoming and friendly. The food and drink was wonderful and we will definitely return.

Very warm welcome, great food, great service. Thank you!

Food was absolutely delicious, service was friendly and the restaurant is really cute. Will definitely be back!

Good service , nice ambience Food not as tasty as I expected

Excellent food, definitely try the cannolis. I had burrata on bruschetta and it was fantastic. Great service too!

Beautiful authentic taste of Italian cuisine, you won't get better homemade products anywhere else.

Nice meal but felt it was a little pricey!

We loved the food but service was a little slow once the restaurant was full as our table got blocked in

Booked for valentine's night. Upon arrival was told it was a £40 set menu and that they had emailed customers to let them know (I had nothing in my inbox or junk, and it didn't say upon making the booking on the website). Drinks ridiculously overpriced, £7 for a 500ml beer (although tasty), £10 for a large glass of wine?! Where are we, London? We were first seated right at the door and it was absolutely freezing with people going in and out. We asked to be moved once a table cleared. We were then placed next to the edge full length windows, still absolutely freezing the whole evening. If there is double glazing, it definitely wasn't working. Starters came - trio of fried balls and focaccia, and were all really nice to be fair. We never received cutlery or napkins until the main course, felt uncomfortable with sticky fingers after picking up all of the starters. Main course was very underwhelming, just pasta shells, creamy sauce and cut up ham - felt like a kids meal. Side 'salad' was just shredded lettuce, and a small slice of toasted bread (no butter, no oil or balsamic dip). Trio of desserts was to finish, a small bowl of diced strawberries, an actually really nice pistachio profiterole, and a large cannoli. Slow service between courses (we were there an hour and 45 minutes in total) We were never asked during any course if everything was alright with our meal. We were left after dessert for a while, no one cleared the plates (it was 9:40 by this time and not many tables left), we had to take ourselves over to the bar to pay. They had the audacity to add a service charge (extra £10!), didn't verbally tell us either, just showed us the receipt and immediately tried to charge us. I asked them to remove this, and we weren't asked why, or if there was anything wrong that they could remedy next time. Wanted to try somewhere new and support local businesses, but shan't be returning. I know inflation is a thing but still can't believe it was £40 each for what we had...

A delightful restaurant. First time we visited - went at lunchtime, quite a few people in there. Decor very pretty, mediterranean vibe. Food was absolutely delicious. Aranchini balls and olives to start, then we all had the porchetta which was unbelievably tasty. Definitely recommend

Just amazing! From the food to the atmosphere this places is the real deal. Tornemu prestu, Lucciano.

Excellent food. Every dish a delight and I cannot recommend the Porchetta highly enough. Likewise my wife thought the chicken was perfect. We will be back for more!

The food is amazing with friendly staff. Particularly the young waiter who speaks Italian.

Update review - back here for the first time in a few months. Never should’ve left it that long. Sicilian food, so a bit different and, to our tastes, much nicer! This is proper, authentic,, gorgeous food. What they can do with aubergines is unbelievable. You’ll definitely not regret going here.

Popped in for lunch with familly. Lovely little place with relaxed and freindly atmosphere. Had the porchetta with rosemary potatoes and green beans. It was one of the best meals I have ever had! Homely, comforting and authentic. My wife had the Rigatoni pasta with Sicilian sausage, that was also VERY good. We finished with coffee and canollo. A very pleasant experience. Will definitley be returning when in the area.

Very attentive service, food was delicious and arrived quickly. Made to feel welcome and comfortable. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and nice food at a reasonable price. Highly recommend

Really great food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome

Authentic, bursting with flavour and lovely staff.

Great food in a very relaxed setting. Will definitely come again. Special mention for the arancini - delicious

Second visit to Compa Nottingham City Centre, both times we have really enjoyed both the food and service. This visit we had the Funghi Arancine, Caponata and Norma, all were very good, full of flavour.

I was so looking forward to the aubergine parmigiana. It came in a bowl with a few slices of aubergine floating in a lot of very nice tomato sauce, with a sprinkling of parmesan on the top. It had not been layered and baked as a whole, which i was expecting - just the separate ingredients assembled in a dish. For the price it was very disappointing and really needed a lot more aubergine and a significant amount more parmesan. The side of fried potatoes with rosemary and onion was pleasant, but neither of the latter two ingredients could be seen or tasted. My friend enjoyed her rigatoni. The ricotta cannolo was lovely. Compa offered a lunchtime deal, 2 courses (a starter- one option- and three mains to chose from) for £10, which i wish I had opted for. The person serving was friendly and helpful.

Great, authentic sicilian food packed with flavour. Service was excellent with both guys being really welcoming and attentive. Don't be deceived by the dish sizes, they really are packed with lots of tasty goodness. Lovey dining experience....Will definitely return.

Only ever popped in for coffee and cannoli before so decided to give the evening menu a try....so glad we did. Service was excellent, the two guys were really pleasant and welcoming and food packed with flavour. Arancini and breads for starters, rigatoni with spicy sausage for the hubby and i had the porchetta.....all delicious. Place sizes are deceiving, there really is lots of food, and flavour packed into the dishes. Perfect end to the evening was cannoli to take away and eat at home. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely restaurant which my 7-year-old twins enjoyed the Sicilian cultural references on the walls and in the food. Genuine, fresh, beautifully presented meals and a cultural experience thrown in, such a pick me up in a dreary night in Beeston.

Very friendly staff, quick and efficient service. Too small plates for main meal, it was difficult to cut one piece of food to don't cut another. The green beans was a bit overcooked and didn't taste super fresh. Nice arancini tho and atmosphere.

Great restaurant, food was amazing, service was spot on. We have already spoken about returning. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fab meal at Compa (Beeston) lovely atmosphere, reasonable prices, great service - everything you need for a lovely evening meal 😍 Will defo return 👍🏼

My husband and I had the bruschetta which for something so simple….I can’t believe how delicious it was! They also gave us the warm salad that was eggplant onion et cetera and that had so much it was so good. Our dinner was delicious. Definitely will go back and definitely recommend. Oh, and the lemon tiramisu was fresh and yummy. **Nottingham location

Me and my boyfriend had an amazing meal here on New Year’s Eve, the food and taste and service was perfect. Flavour in all of the food was incredible. Felt very authentic Italian. The staff was so friendly and polite and everything was so clean. Would highly recommend.

A lovely family lunch today with a selection of dishes from the menu.

What a little gem this place is. The food is simple but amazing. The staff were so lovely and friendly as well. Highly recommend x

Had a very pleasant lunch menu meal with additional puddings and drinks.Food was beautiful.service excellent and very good atmosphere.will definitely visit again soon,thank you x

I shared the most wonderful of New Year’s Eve meals at Compa with my friend. If I was to sum up Compa I would say smiles, warmth and beautiful wine bottles…with delicious homely food and great olives! Can’t wait to trial the city centre one too! A real Beeston gem!

Lovely place with delicious food. Really enjoyed our meal here and was amazing from start to finish, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Rich, hearty food. Beautifully cooked and fresh ingredients. Host was wonderful and warm. All round amazing experience.

Really nice sicilian food, staff are lovely. Would definitely come here again.

The food is amazing! Packed with flavour - special shout out to the arancini. Staff were fantastic. Yum yum yum in my tum!

Very nice place. The food was really good.

The service was excellent as we were a large party having a christmas meal. The menu was wide ranging and the quality of the food was wonderful. Can definitely recommend this restaurant for some wonderful authentic Sicilian food.

Overall disappointing. We had two different Arancine and taste wise it was hard to rell the difference, both were bland. The Pasta Ragu dishes were okay but again, in the one with the Sicilia sausage, there wasn't a lot of flavour. The wine at £9.95 for a large glass is very expensive. I can't see the point of a television displaying pictures of Sicily, background music would be nicer. The staff were friendly.

We came for a meal after a graduation ceremony at the University. The pasta was great and the cassata and lemon tiramisu were very tasty too. Nice light informal setting and very friendly service. Will come back in the evening.

Do you know those places where, as soon as you step in, you feel like you've been transported to an entirely different world? It’s warm, cosy, and all your senses are indulged in the most wonderful way. That’s exactly how it feels in this place. From the very first step, you can sense the passion, the desire to create something that goes beyond the simple "buy food - sell food" concept. The lady, who I believe is the owner (an Italian), was incredibly lovely. When she noticed that my girlfriend loves pistachios, she brought out a little plate of pistachio cream from the kitchen! The food was absolutely delicious, and you can tell the chef in the kitchen truly knows what they’re doing! The waiter also deserves a 5-star rating. I highly recommend this place because it’s not just about eating – I genuinely felt relaxed, as if I were in a real Italian restaurant where everything is authentic, and nothing is pretended. I will definitely return! Huge applause to everyone who contributes to creating this amazing place.

My friend and I had lunch there and it was an absolutely beautiful meal, great service and a very welcoming restaurant!!! I can't wait to visit again.

A wonderful restaurant. I went for lunch, and ordered the porchetta and it was amazing. I had a delicious torta al caramelo for dessert which was a gluten free, homemade cake. The staff were friendly which makes me want to go again.

Very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Good selection of food and drinks 🍷

Very authentic restaurant. Was able to walk in without booking in advance but this was midweek. I imagine at peak times, this place will be full! Beautiful food. The flavour of the lasagne……absolutely excellent and not smothered in the creamy white sauce I’m used to seeing. Was helped to pronounce some of the dishes without being patronised. Owner very warm and welcoming without being overbearing or insincere. When I next visit Beeston (my son’s a student at Uni of Nottingham) I will definitely return.

Food was delicious and great service on a busy Saturday night. The only minor thing was the pasta could’ve been a bit hotter but I’m really splitting hairs with this. Will be very happy to return and to visit the new restaurant in Hockley when it opens.

Dined at Compa with 8 others & had a lovely evening. The food is different to the standard Italian restaurants I’m used to but in a good way. The staff were very friendly. If I lived close by I would definitely become a regular!

have just had lunch here. absolutely stunning food. lovely hosts .. cannot recommend highly enough. 12 out of 10 from me

I went to this Sicilian restaurant in Nottingham with my family, and we all left satisfied and full. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with furnishings that recall the colors and sea of ​​Sicily, bringing a bit of sun even on the grayest days. Each dish is prepared with the freshest and most authentic ingredients rated 5/5, with vegan options that have managed to surprise and please us all. The staff, made up of the family that runs the place, is extraordinarily kind and attentive: they welcomed us with a smile and made us feel at home. The "chef's imagination," which changes daily, was a pleasant surprise, and the cannoli, crunchy and authentic, gave us a taste of Sicily in every bite.

Fantastic place! Extremely reccomended. I have been there for a dinner with my girlfriend, and we had a great time. The atmosphere is amazing, a really cozy familiar feeling space. The food is absolutely incredible. We had arancine and caponata for starters and both were super tasty and full of flavour. For me the best was the porchetta (italian slow cooked pork) we had as a main: tender, juicy and with a fantastic crunchy skin. The cherry on top have been the cannolo we had as a dessert. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful! Definitely reccomended, I will be back 100%, 5 stars

This is a perfect combination of food, ambiance and service. It’s difficult to single out a particular feature which makes this a great venue to visit. So I give my compliments to the owners who work well to bring together all the elements which make a visit worthwhile. Really a great restaurant!

Good to try this place in Beeston. Will maybe pop in for lunch one day

Really delicious food, great service and felt genuinely italian. Recommended 5*

Gorgeous food and a beautiful atmosphere in the restaurant. Portions are small so make sure you get starter or sides etc. would come again :)

The food and service were excellent It was the portion size that was a little disappointing. A little extra pasta would not go amiss

Lovely little place, for a long dinner or a quick stop! Highly recommend the cannoli as well!

Absolutely lovely food and service. Relaxed attentive service and a great atmosphere.

Great service and beautiful food! A real taste of Italy!

We had a delicious, authentic meal at this absolute gem of a place. The family are so warmly welcoming and keen to share their love of all things Sicilian. Delicious food served in a cosy, intimate space. You will return for their Cannoli, it's divine

Excellent food and excellent service

a little bit of home away from home. All was missing was the sea and boats floating in the warm Sicilian sun. We'll be back.

Lovely relaxed evening. Staff super friendly and welcoming

Authentic Sicilian food done very well, friendly service, good wine and beer

Nice decor, ambience and food was very good.

I dined here for lunch today and the food was delicious 😋 Staff were attentive and friendly. Overall 5 stars 🌟 My friends and I were impressed and we will be back for more. Keep up the good work and compliments to the chef

Myself and friends had lunch at Compa today. We had a wonderful time.Will definitely go there again. It is beautifully decorated with a very friendly ambiance and food was delicious.

A fantastic Sicilian restaurant in Beeston ,nice interior with colourful designs and art, food was absolutely delicious, service was quick and staff were very helpful and friendly, will definitely be going back 😋😊

Really great authentic food. Simple menu. Really enjoyed the whole meal and we will definitely return.

One of the best Italians I've visited! Really authentic Cicilllian restaurant, the food was spot on and the service was great! 100% recommend eating here 👌🏻 Great choice of authentic lagers as well 🇮🇹

Cracking meal, nice people, nice place

Our first visit here after recently moving to the area. A great selection of food, we had difficulty choosing 😊 We settled on ragu arancine and bruschetta pomoforo. Both excellent but filling. Next time we will share a starter. For mains i had Spiedini Di Pollo, absolutely delicious. I couldn’t eat it all and was kindly offered take home box, the skewers were excellent the next day. My husband had Pasta Con Ragu Di Salsiccisa, very tasty. No room for dessert for me but an affogato enjoyed by husband. We also enjoyed the house red wine. Really great atmosphere in the restaurant. Very friendly service. We will definitely be back and highly recommend you to try it too. 😊

Visited with family and we had such a lovely time! Not only was the food stunning but the service was really friendly and it really felt like a piece of Sicily on our doorstep! Definitely worth a visit!

Our 1st visit but we will be back!! Amazing food! Some of the best food weve ever had! So fresh and the flavours work great together Staff are super friendly and helped us when trying to pronounce the dishes which was a laugh Lovely decor Really comfortable atomosphere Super clean and a great little gem!

Our second visit and will definitely be returning. Every plate is fresh, delicious and made with pride. Service is exceptional, they are very friendly, helpful and a pleasure to be around. We were served by the son on our first visit, and Angela on our second, she took time to talk to us about the dessert wines available and how these would be enjoyed traditionally and even complimented our order with a wine of her very own not on the menu. It is rare to find food so delicious and service so genuine, it is literally like you are in their home being served from their own kitchen. We find it a little pricey for our budget but not for the quality you recieve so when we can afford it, we will be back!

The food, the staff, the decor, the service - everything about this place is wonderful. Oh and did I mention the food?! It looks, tastes and smells divine! Love love love it here!

Lovely Italian restaurant on Wollaton Road in Beeston. The food comes well presented and not too large portions - perfect for me. Main courses around £15 and desserts around £7.00. My bill for one person was around £30.00 including dessert and a drink. Well worth a visit.

Called this restaurant to see if they would be able to provide some catering for a meeting nearby. Angela was very responsive and they cooked delicious food for 14 people. Lasagne and Parmigiana was so tasty. They delivered the food too, perfectly on time and well packaged. Thank you so much!!

Stopped in here for coffee and a sweet treat with my daughter, and we found it to be such a warm and friendly place with a lovely welcoming vibe from the owner. I had an absolutely gorgeous slice of torta della nonna and my daughter really enjoyed her cannoli. I can highly recommend this as a place to visit for lunch, and I definitely want to come back for an evening meal as the menu looks great with plenty of vegetarian choices.

We enjoyed a tasty & refreshing meal followed by a trio of delicious desserts & coffee! The staff are extremely friendly & attentive which added to the fantastic experience we had.

Owners are lovely and service was great. Very nice atmosphere and friendly vibe. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Fantastic food, for a great meal out with friends!

We’ve just had a wonderful midweek dinner. The atmosphere was lovely, food delicious and the service friendly and attentive. So lovely to see an independent, well-run restaurant so busy and bustling on a Tuesday evening. Highly recommend.

Great spot. Really good food. Great service!

This is the first time we have tried this restaurant. What an absolute jewel! We loved EVERYTHING! If you want something special, then this is it.
