Della Casa Italian in Stroud

I found a huge dead fly in my pasta dish. I politely took it back and they said they’d make me a new one, however I didn’t eat much of it as I was put off. They then kept it on the bill so I politely asked if it could be removed and the server went to get his manager. The manager came back and said “on this occasion I will remove it as you were a nice table” - implying if I’d been rude about it, not a good table or it happens again, they won’t remove it off the bill. He did not apologise to me at all, instead made out like he was doing me a favour and walked away. I won’t be eating here again.

If you're in the area, such a great Italian. Food is really good, and staff are friendly.

Amazing food. Great prices. Nice calm atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We booked ahead of time so a reservation first is probably a good idea as it was pretty busy. There is a children's menu ♡

I’m very disappointed that having taken steps to explain my dietary needs in advance there was very little done to try to provide a reasonable lunch. A request for a vegetarian low carb salad resulted in initially being served bacon. Once they removed the bacon I was left with awful lettuce drenched in a very salty dressing, a small handful of tomatoes and some slices of what I think was mozzarella. There were also some croutons which I can’t eat because they are high in sugars. I know Italian style food is far from ideal for those of us with diabetes and I would normally avoid it but it was a friend’s birthday. I was not able to complain at the time as this was a birthday meal but I really want to register my horror at the lack of imagination.

One rainy night in Dursley we found this restaurant by chance and we were so glad we did. Service was first class with staff going that extra mile to make the evening we had really memorable. Food came beautifully served and presented so nicely. Quality of ingredients top notch and tasted superb. Would not hesitate to viisit again if anywhere nearby again. Thank you.

Have eaten in here/ from here 4 times now. Always fresh delicious food. The staff are wonderful and attentive. One small error with a cocktail on our first visit was rectified immediately with no fuss and an apology. A very comfortable place to enjoy a dressy meal out or a casual bite to eat! What more can you ask for!

Great food, lovely service. Pretty busy for a Wednesday night. Would recommend.

What a nice surprise! A smiling and efficient team. But above all a delicious meal. We had the three-color tomato and bruschetta as a starter and then some seafood pasta. A treat. Sufficiently plentiful for two with a glass of wine and a bottle of water £58. We will come back

We have had several meals here and everything has been excellent. As we always try to support local businesses we decided to book our Golden Wedding celebration at the Della Casa. The function room looked amazing, decorated with golden balloons, the staff were more than helpful, we had invited the "Singing Waiters" to entertain our guests, they were provided with everything they needed. The food, as always, was excellent, as was the wine. Thanks to Steve, his Mum and all the staff. Our special day was amazing.

Lovely food. So lucky to have this on our doorstep.

Lovely food and really friendly staff.

Our first visit. The menu was varied, the lunchtime deal was very good value, the food was amazing. The staff were lovely so it's a firm favourite!

Another truly wonderful meal from Della Casa. We have been a few times now including; Valentine’s, Children’s party and last night for a special anniversary. Food was amazing and catered excellent (again) for my wife who is Coeliac. It’s so important to have the trust and we have. Service was prompt, efficient but not rushed. Fresh, tasty, excellent value and a nice atmosphere too. Thanks again to all the staff - we will be back!

Fabulous Italian restaurant in Dursley. Well designed with a great atmosphere. Staff are friendly, helpful and very attentive. The food is delicious. Very reasonable prices for the quality of the food.. I would definitely eat here again. I highly recommend this restaurant.

the food is good, but they forgot a fork it is peaceful and good I recommend this restaurant

Nice meal out, good food good service. Went home comfortably stuffed :) We sat upstairs today (Oct '22), place was busy but we all got god service and great food. Another pizza tonight, great service (Feb '23) Tonight was lasagna (comfortably stuffed) (May '24) Every visit is amazing (August 24)

We passed the restaurant during a visit to Dursley earlier in the day and so decided to take a risk and book for dinner. I booked online with no problem at all. We arrived, but it did seem like either the booking hadn't been picked up or it hadn't logged on the system, but the server let us feel like it wasn't a problem and showed us to a table. We noticed the tables had good distance between each other, so it felt like you could have a good conversation without being heard by nearby tables. It was early evening and already the restaurant was half full, which felt like a good sign. All the staff were friendly and courteous and they came to apologise for the delay in our drinks arriving, owing to a large party being served upstairs. This was fantastic communication because it set our expectation and we then felt relaxed knowing everything was under control. The menu was extensive and the food was absolutely delicious - our compliments to the chef - and the portion sizes very generous. We underestimated the amount of food and so the staff were happy to box up what we couldn't eat, to take home. The wine list was perfect and well priced. All in all, our experience was excellent and I would recommend Della Cassa. The style of the restaurant is contemporary, but if there was to be a note of recommendation, it would be to have some sort of soft furnishings such as curtains and/or cushions to absorb the noise. We found that even though the tables had a good distance between, the acoustics of the room were harsh. We really struggled to have a conversation because we felt like we were competing with other diners. In the end we pretty much gave up chatting as it was too much like hard work. Such a small addition would make a massive difference. If we ever return to this part of the country, we will be sure to revisit.

Duck breast, initially well over cooked. Well done and rubbery. Sent back and refired. U fortunately the outdated orange sauce was very uninspiring and the duck was unseasoned. The mussel pasta was good. No complaints. Pizzas are a bit to thick and bready but not terrible. Wanna cota was nice but somewhat ruined by what taste like a store bought strawberry syrup that you would expect drizzled over your 99 cone. The browny is odd. Closer to a uncooked dough than a browny. Some evidence of nice cooking scattered amongst dissappintment.

Food is fantastic, have been a few times before and it never disappoints. Service can be a bit slow and waiting times for food can be long, even when the restaurant is quiet. However the food certainly makes up for it.

Just excellent all round. Gorgeous food that’s so moorish! The customer service is second to none. The staff are so lovely, friendly, polite, attentive and they listen to feedback (not that there is ever much of it!). If you want a brilliant meal, don’t hesitate to go to Della Casa.

Refused to make arrangements for disabilities. Party of 10 Service was below poor, not asked for any allergy’s at table when ordering or arriving. Ordered a dish that has been advised is dairy free previously, arrived very obviously not dairy free. Another member ordered same meal and looked completely different, after complaining server admitted that they were different meal being served. Was told I would need to pay both meals If I wanted it swapped, rather than just swapping untouched meal out for something else. Brought meal back to table despite dairy allergy. Staff were more than happy to allow me to sit there with no meal. Server was giving evil looks at us after this, sat waiting for bill and no drink top ups. Manager pulled me to one side to explain, but again misinformation given and different to what was said when partner complained to manager. Despite knowing I have a milk allergy after this, I was offered gluten free panna cotta. No understanding of allergy’s. Overall poor experience and will not be returning.

First time visit for me. Food and service was very good 🙂

The best local restaurant by far, always a great meal and service

The food was tasty, but had a very long wait between courses. The young lady who eventually served our meal threw the plates on to the table we obviously had inconvenienced her!!?

Visited this evening for my Birthday meal. Couldn't fault it. Lovely staff and delicious food. Pasta, prawns and Mussels all beautifully cooked and seasoned perfectly!

Exceptional food, the best Italian food I have ever had outside of Italy! Nothing else to say.

Excellent on every point goid food and good service

The staff at Della Casa accommodated a big group of us at late notice, and were extremely attentive. The food and wine were excellent, and the staff were polite and kind to the kids. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food and the Panna Cotta was delicious 😋 xxx

Excellent, lovely food. Hot and quick with a very nice atmosphere.

Wow, what a surprise! We walked in here wanting a quick and tasty meal after a day of walking the Cotswold Way and were really pleasantly surprised. Service was very quick, professional, and attentive. The pizza was outstanding and I thought the primavera pasta was very good. We’re both vegetarians and were excited by all the options available. Even for hungry walkers, the serving sizes were very large and the price perfectly reasonable. They also kept us well topped up with tap water. Nice interior, feeling sophisticated but comfortable. Would definitely recommend if you’re passing through.

Italian food, mostly Italian staff, wide range of food options. Excellent service We are Regular Visitors and never disappointed.

It was lovely, meal delicious and staff very friendly.

It was absolutely fantastic, food was top , service at there best , atmosphere good , I can't say anything else, highly recommend

Friendly staff, good choice of menu, tasty food, reasonably priced, free carpark nearby

The staff was lovely and kind, but the food was not worth the price: not Italian food in terms of quality, the pizza dough was not good and weirdly sweet, the risotto was cooked ok but the souce was a bit watery, parmigiano was definitely a bad one, nothing to do with Italian ones (I’m Italian). We took: 2 pizze, risotto ai frutti di mare, pasta alla carbonara, insalata di spinaci and olives

Very pleasant experience. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was good and the waitresses were friendly efficient and patient

It was lovely. Food was very very nice

Food good...Great service and lovely atmosphere great family friendly restaurant

Fabulous as always. Can’t recommend this place enough. Fantastic food & great attentive service. Never had a bad experience here

Excellent food and service as always.

Last minute booking on New Years Eve. Very welcoming staff, nice atmosphere and lovely food. We had a lovely evening and so glad they managed to fit us (family of 4) in on NYE.

Excellent food was had by all of our party. Service was a little slow but likely down to it being New Years Eve & maybe slightly short on staff. We were down stairs & it was quite quiet as far as atmosphere goes, upstairs was possibly a lot different. Very good though & would return 👍🏼

Best restaurant in Dursley. The place we keep going back to. Also our favourite spot for a fancy drink. The food is delicious, service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. Best of all is their lunch menu deal: 2 courses £12.45, 3 courses £14.95.

Food was lovely, we were there for my dad's 84th birthday. One of our waiters was lovely however the experience was spoiled by the miserable mood of another waitress throughout our visit.

Nice traditional Italian restaurant.

We had a lovely lunch, 2 courses from the lunch menu £12.45. I had seabass which was beautiful (albeit small but ideal for lunch) and my wife had chicken tagliatelle which was nice and spicy, not too hot. Then I had the biggest slice of cheesecake ever, which was very nice, but now I need a sleep! The toilet was clean and functional, but could do with a bit of attention (some washers replaced, bit better presented perhaps).

Upstairs is good for families, downstairs more of a couples thing. Good food, had the signature dish Rissotto branzino (sea bass). Service fine. Upstairs lacking atmosphere.

The food was delicious and full of flavors,the service was excellent and will definitely be going back again soon 😁

Lovely ambience, music was in the background so you could enjoy talking to each other. Food and service outstanding. Plenty of vegetarian options. Thoroughly recommend.

Super 3 course meal. Generous portions and piping hot. Very pleasant staff.

Although we live locally, this was our first visit to Della Casa. We were a party of 6 (spanning 3 generations) and we visited on a weekday lunchtime for a family meal. Both the food and the service were excellent. The 2 course lunch was really good value at £12.95. We are happy to recommend Della Casa to others and plan to visit again .... soon. Update October 2023 - we have now visited on a number of occasions for lunch.

Great staff, great food, and excellent service

Great food and amazing service!

Visited here yesterday evening with friends and family for a 70th birthday and 40th wedding anniversary celebration, service and food were both excellent would highly recommend

Great restaurant with friendly, attentive staff. We were a big group of 10 family, including two children, celebrating my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. The team were extremely helpful in accommodating menu preferences & the meals were delicious. We were visiting family but when local again I would certainly like to come to Della Casa for a meal out.

Amazing quality food and friendly staff! Pastas and pizzas are delicious. My favourite Italian restaurant in Gloucestershire.

I visited here on a Friday evening. Table for 1. 😊 The staff were excellent. I was upstairs, and they had a large birgroup to accommodate, but I received really attentive service. Delicious food adapted for my gf requirements. Fabulous flavour. Really enjoyed it, and a very nicely presented liquor coffee to finish. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Italian! By far one of the best I’ve been to outside of Italy. Really is one of the best places to eat in Dursley.

My wife chose this restaurant as they have a fantastic gluten free menu. Always great service and good food. No doubt we will be back soon. Thanks Della Casa.

Nice Venue in Dursley High Street with Parking Close by. Food is good and service also and nice portion sizes. An upstairs also in the event it gets busy

Very tasty food, lovely polite service. Nice decor.

Our meals were good and the waitress went above and beyond to help

Lovely Italian...good selection on GF menu and great service. Food lush 😋

Lovely food, good service especially as there was over 15 of us, so we preordered.

Ate here whilst staying in Dursley. Located just off the main high street this restaurant offers excellent food in a very comfortable setting. We had the gluten free pasta bolognaise which was delicious and the sea bass with prawns, again excellent. Staff were very friendly and would definitely recommend if in the area.

Very inviting and accommodating staff, i very much enjoyed my food which was also priced at a very reasonable rate - would definitely recommend if you’re in the area

Nice to have a decent restaurant near home.

A massive thanks to all the staff at Della Case for hosting Amy daughter and 9 friends for a birthday lunch! The food was really good and enjoyed by all, service was friendly and patient with 10 young, excited kids! My wife and I had meals from the main menu which were both thoroughly enjoyed. I had linguine pescatore which was simply delicious and my wife equally enjoyed her chicken salad. But will save the last word for the Tiramisu - best I’ve ever had. Light yet rich and creamy, tasty but not overpowering. Will certainly be back for a more relaxed , grown up meal soon! Thank you again!!

WOW and WOW! My friend and I arrived at the restaurant mid-afternoon yesterday. My friend had been here before and said it was fantastic. We both had Cannelloni and well, what a treat. My working background is in 5-star hotels all over the world and I have tasted the best of the best from many Italian chefs. However, this was the best I have ever tasted. It was a masterpiece, I am sure a la minute, fresh spinach, massive portions, just bang on delicious with what I thought was a frisson of cinnamon that just hit the spot for flavour. Superb. My friend had a side of green beans and, again, a large portion, fresh and yummy. Thank you to the lovely staff and a chef who is obviously amazing and we can’t wait to sample more of the menu!

Tasty food, quick and attentive service, and Italian music in the background, makes for a great dining out experience! Not cheap but not overpriced either; the set lunch menu was good value for money.

Decent food, we found the pasta dishes were especially good. The pizza was also tasty but a bit too much cheese, if there is such a thing…The service was exceptional.

I had mussels and they were absolutely amazing. The sirloin steak was actually cooked to perfection and the best I've ever had

The food was excellent and the service was friendly and not pushy. The sauce in the Cosse Crema was delicious and the sweets were to die for. In fact we could not fault any aspect of the meal. Coming from London would I visit again ? absolutely. Expect to see us again when we are next in the area.

We have recently moved near to Dursley and this has become my to go to restaurant. We have been many times. Not once has the food or staff failed to meet expectations. Food is always very good and affordable. Service is excellent. I have taken our various family members with their children. Tables are large allowing space for artwork, and children are very well catered for. The Chefs are completely flexible to meal variations. What stands out for me is the consistently very good food on every occasion. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant. Thank you to all the lovely staff.

Fantastic food. I had the best lasagne I have had in many years. Everyone else in the party also said how good their food was.

This really is a place that gave us fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A delightful evening. Good food, served happily. The vegetarian risotto was delicious.

Excellent food plates could have been warmer

3 course lunch menu, good selection and very good value. Will definitely visit again.

Food is amazing! All freshly cooked and beautifully served. Lovely atmosphere, a friendly welcome on arrival, and excellent service. Plenty of free parking close by. Would definitely recommend.

First time there and won't be the last, the food was excellent and staff were delightful left with full bellies And the sauce on the duck was out of this world 😋😋

My husband and I just had a lovely meal and couldn't be happier. The servers were very sweet and accomodating and the food was delicious. As an Italian myself I can happily say it's been a while since I've had such good Italian food here in England. Can't wait to come again and try the rest of the menu.

Great place for a staff party food lovely 😍

Relaxed atmosphere with attentive service, plenty of parking nearby and lots of tables to choose from within the restaurant. Tried out the seafood linguine and seafood risotto, both of which were delightful and full of flavour. Proper fresh pasta too, for authenticity. Would definitely recommend.

Food here is delicious. Staff are friendly 1st class service.

A surprisingly modern restaurant in Dursley. Nice service, good footd good wine ! What else ?

I have not made any restaurant contributions on Tripadvisor for a long time but after 5 visits to Della Casa in less than 2 months I thought that a review was needed to explain. We receive such friendly service and the food is freshly cooked and to an excellent standard, I ‘m particularly drawn to the lemon cheesecake to finish my meal. Thank you Julio

Very nice experience… fresh made pesto bruschetta & mains all quality .. chicken prawns etc., Random visit but would recommend

My son booked a table for two earlier in the day, we arrived at our booked time of 6pm and the downstairs restaurant already had a number of tables in. We were offered a choice of tables and chose a window one so we could people watch whilst we ate. The waitress was very polite, took our drinks order then came back for our food order. We've eaten here several times over the last few years so knew what we wanted on the menu. I chose a linguine with king prawns, mussels in a white wine and tomatoes which was delicious, a perfect temperature and well presented. My son had the house risotto which he thoroughly enjoyed. We then had dessert, a freshly made tiramasu which was demolished very quickly and a deliciously light pannacotta. We finished off with coffee and in the time we took to eat the restaurant filled up and created a lovely atmosphere. There were people also picking up takeaway orders which is a great way to support restaurants. My only complaint would be that we weren't offered more drinks but equally we could ha e got up and asked at the bar. Parking on a Saturday night is no problem and as a disabled driver I had no problems finding parking 20 yards from the restaurant. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant as we had a lovely experience, thank you Della Casa.

Really enjoyed out first visit, food quality was quite all right

Takeaway was very poor, probably the worst I've ever had and I dont say that lightly. Food was overpriced and of poor quality, a shame.

Food and service was amazing. Beers could be improved.

Very good meal, excellent service. Have been many times.

Visited here for Dinner for the First time. Venue is modern and Spacious and has a disabled toilet. Location is good very close to the High Street and car parking very nearby. The menu was good with plenty of choice and prices were reasonable. Service was good and nice to see no service charge added automatically Will visit again

Incredible food, great value, lovely staff! Great selection of options for both food and drinks and nothing disappoints! Not to be missed!

If you are looking for a well-kept restaurant with top notch employees, you can try this restaurant with an Italian specialty. It's the 5th time I've had dinner in this restaurant and I've always been impressed by what you eat there, I've ordered pizza for home delivery many times from the pizzeria and the fresh taste you find is of the highest quality. I recommend with confidence and I am convinced that you will leave with a good opinion and will surely come back!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Oh. My. God. We ended up here by chance- everywhere else was booked. No regrets. This place is unreal. The prawn starter - the sauce was so delicious I finished it with a spoon!! So beyond flavourful. Everything was delish!! Large menu with pastas, pizzas and everything in between. Great drinks ! GET THE LEMON CHEESECAKE OH MY GOD ITS DEVINE I NEED THAT RECIPE! 😍😍😍😍😍 1 starter 2 mains 2 desserts 3 drinks £75. The staff was lovely and attentive. Incredible place, bravo ! 🤍🇨🇦

Lovely food. Just wasn't overly impressed. Nothing wrong with food tasted lovely but felt was rather expensive. Lovely atmosphere. Didn't really see much of staff other than serving of meals. No dairy alternatives really.

Excellent meal and service. Highly recommend.
