Goodfellas Italian Restaurant in Rotherham

The food is excellent. The wine list is very good. real talent is in the kitchen. This restaurant is situated in an unfashionable area in an unfashionable town. The food is Italian, the head waiter is Pakistani, the waitresses are Yorkshire/sicilian or Yorkshire/Maltese. You are right, it’s an absolute melting pot that weirdly gives off a family vibe. It’s a bit untidy, getting to the gents is a climb, I suspect a few pensioners have wobbled coming down or needed a breather half way up. In our visit one of the chefs was ill and we were told “he” was running the kitchen alone. To expect a slight delay. Whatever delay we incurred was well worth it. Lovely.

Wish I’d taken photos of the meal we all enjoyed the prawn 🍤 starter was unbelievable and main course absolutely amazing five star on any restaurant

I love eating and drinking at this place. Always nice people and good food and drinks. I always get an amazing service by Leo. I really recommend this place. Great atmosphere and lovely people!

Lovely little family run restaurant, visited on numerous occasions, great food, fantastic staff, reasonably priced

Fantastic food as always. Staff very friendly and attentive

Authentic, friendly Italian with great food and excellent service. 6 of us, all ladies, went in the evening on Friday 19th July. We were made very welcome and had a lovely time. All the food was freshly cooked, hot and tasty with plenty choice for everyone. Had a nice special board and good drinks menu too. Thank you for a very lovely evening. We’ll be back!

Fantastic Italian. Great service and some of the best Italian food around.

From the high level of service to the nice environment going to this restaurant for the first time was a great choice. Bring local we were pleasantly surprised at what we have been missing out on. We will make this one of our regular places. All the reviews we read are right. This is the place to go.

Last night I had the best food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend the penne delicate which was beautifully cooked. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were very attentive, thank you for the amazing night xx

Hidden gem of a place. Really nice food, great service and an authentic feel to the family run restaurant. It is small and intimate so recommend booking ahead but well worth it. Great value for such good food too.

Absolutely by far the best Italian food I have had! Fantastic service from Harry too so welcoming. Authentic family run business and wish everyone the best. We will be back soon

Food was amazing best Italian I've had! Amazing service from Harry!

We enjoyed a fabulous meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary, The service and food were both fantastic and to a high standard. We will be back!! ❤️

Authentic Italian food, we have travelled extensively through Italy and goodfellas is just like eating there, everything we had was delicious, from the starters to the dessert everything was perfect, such a welcoming family run place, there's not many places like this left, we can't recommended this place highly enough.

As usual great food ...group of 17 of us but the service was excellent attention to detail will be definitely visiting again

Its got a proper Italian aroma when you walk in and a lovely atmosphere. Really very nice food and pleasant people.

Lovely restaurant, nice food and reasonable price just don't ask if you can separate the bill in any way, apoarently it is too complicated!! Disappointing as it spoilt things at the end of the evening.

Been a couple of times, always booked ahead, we've had a lovely warm welcome both times. The food is quality, cooked to order & delicious. Highly recommended, lovely atmosphere & great for dining with friends or as a couple.

Decent food cooked well. All enjoyed meal.

Great Italian restaurant. Amazing food and great service. Our server Harry was funny, friendly and made great recommendations and was the highlight of the experience for me. Will definitely be going again!

We really enjoyed our meal and the staff were really helpful and friendly. They were very accommodating with working around our soecific dietary preferences. We will come again.

We had fabulous pasta, we were time constrained and said so on entry, service was swift not rushed, just what we needed, perfect.

fantastic food and a great family atmosphere 👌

We went to this restaurant with some friends and were not disappointed at all ! The staff is very kind and the environment is very cosy, we felt at home. I had lasagna, it was very tasty and the portion was very generous ! I could not recommand enough this restaurant ! We had a very good time !

Visiting Rotherham from London, I had low expectations of dining out in general. I've eaten my words because most of the food I ate in Yorkshire was far better quality and price than almost anywhere I've been in the Big Smoke. Anyone who knows me also knows I'm not one for hyperbole, so I hardly ever give out 0 or 1 stars, or 5. Most places are 3 stars because 3 is average - neither terrible nor amazing. But at Goodfellas I found a Sicilian gem where the food absolutely is a 5 - it's probably some of the best Italian food I've ever eaten. Even "The Chronic Complainer of Yorkshire" (aka my mother) didn't have a bad word to say about it. And this is from a woman who asked for a knife and fork in McDonald's. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely authentic restaurant, owners really nice

Lovely food and service. Pizzas are very nice. Also, the best olives we've ever had and amazing bread to start.

Lovely staff, great food. Would I go again definitely. A group turned up who hadn't acknowledged their booking confirmation so were very politely declined by staff that their table had been reallocated. The staff treated it with professionalism only to be treated with rudeness by the offending party. True hospitality by all staff at goodfellas.

Absolutely amazing! Food is lovely, all of the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the service is great. It is one of our favourite places to go out and eat, I’d definitely recommend!!!

Lovely traditional Italian, great staff and the garlic bread is just wow!! Took my.parents out for tea and used trip advisor to find this restaurant.

The food and service were very good. Portions are more than big enough, so big in fact it looked like I hadn’t touched my pasta dish.

Had a meal here twice the other month, absolutely beautiful food and fantastic service. Great value for money.

Absolutely fantastic meal, all fresh ingredients, would definitely recommend this place to eat , staff very friendly, always happy to help, can't wait to go again.

Lovely frendlely atmosphere very good service didn't have to wait long for food for a party of 11 people for my nephews 30th the choice on menus was excellent but the taste of the main dishes lacked authentic Italian taste as my parents both are Italian just needed the ingredients of Italian spices to give that extra kick ..

Fantastic service here for a family members birthday. The service was amazing and the food was just as good! We will absolutely be returning at some point xxx

We were visiting family nearby and they took us to their favourite Italian and it’s plain to see why. Great rustic feel about it. Staff we unbelievably welcoming and friendly. Great menu and when the food arrived it was sublime. Great value as well. Would definitely return and definitely recommend.

The food was amazing came for our anniversary and was very impressed with staff and food will definitely be back thanks from Katsina and Pedro

Great place , lovely food 15/04/23...once again absolutely great!!!

The food was excellent and staff was very very good. Had a lovely evening I would recommend this restaurant to anyone

Great place for authentic Italian food and atmosphere, highly recommended

Went for a family birthday meal so 14 of us. We had pre-ordered. The food was freshly cooked and delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly and provided excellent service. We had a really lovely evening.

Really good family owned Italian restaurant where everything is freshly cooked. Partners families family tradition for us to go every Christmas eve.

Tried goodfellas last night due to a friend recommending it to us and it was well worth the visit. My wife and I are vegetarian but that didn’t mean we were limited in options. The food was really nice as was the atmosphere and staff, all friendly, welcoming and polite. We will 100% be back (when we can get a sitter again) as we enjoyed it that much. Thank you for a lovely evening. James and Gina

Really friendly staff. Great table. Warm. Great varied menu. Authentic Italian.delicious food. Huge portions. Best house wine ever!

Chose the t bone off the specials list and it was probably the best steak I have had in a long time. Great value and a nice atmosphere

Brilliant little hidden gem. Food was delicious and staff were amazing.

Amazing food, staff, service and atmosphere. I love it. We will definitely come back. Thank you very much. We've spent a lovely evening

Had a fabulous night tonight good friends.marvelous staff & beautiful food

Such a warm welcome, the food was amazing. Never felt rushed just left to read the menu, they even advised a better wine with our food, couldn’t fault it. Will be going again and again

Excellent food really good friendly service would highly recommend we will be dining there again lovely atmosphere ❤️

Beautiful food could not fault it. The staff and owners are so nice will be definitely going again.

Excellent food with friendly, attentive service. Really enjoyed our visit to Goodfellas. Thankyou.

An excellent restaurant. Lovely staff, delicious food.

Food drinks and service was 100 percent.

Excellent food and amazing friendly service.

As ever, a warm welcome, our usual table (!) and beautifully cooked and tasty food. I love the mushroom ham garlic and cheese starter but it is huge and makes eating a pizza difficult ! In the past we have had starters and shared a pizza. This time my wife had a prawn based pasta off the specials board and we both tried a beautiful chicken breast in the most delicious sauce with ample vegetables. Couldn’t manage a dessert this time, but the choice is very tempting ! If you haven’t tried Goodfellas, you are missing out !

Went with some friends and had a great night.Food was superb,going again soon

Another fabulous evening tonight. The food was amazing. Loved the mussels. And cannot resist the lasagna. Fab as always. All our meals were wonderful. Wishing you both a a wonderful holiday and a safe journey. Georgy max and pat.

We popped in mid week as we had just returned from holiday and didn't want to cook. We received a lovely welcome even though they were very busy and the service was excellent. The food was fab, my husband said best lasagne ever!! House red...

The food was... fine. Wine tasted like vinegar. Overall average.

Booked last minute meal for 2. Friendly greeting, lovely service & beautiful meal.

Went for a family birthday. Can I just say, this is without doubt the best Italian meal I've ever eaten. Simply delicious. Very friendly atmosphere. Pricy but worth every penny. Will definitely use again.

Just like to say this place is amazing, left a message today and within 30mins they rang us and booked us in for this evening. Food was so tasty and portions amazing, staff were great and so welcoming can’t wait to return.

Another super meal, with friends. Good food ,good service and as usual a really friendly atmosphere.

Marcello and Giusy know how to make a guest feel welcome and they know how to cook! I had some delicious linguine alla bolognese with home made ragu' sauce and I enjoyed the friendly and cozy atmosphere of the place. Pay a visit to these...

Another fantastic meal . Been coming for a few months now and it’s always amazing. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The wine is always ice cold and the food is beautiful home cooked ! It’s a little hidden gem in Rotherham. See...

Last minute booking, greeted by fantastic staff who always make you feel welcome. Great menu choices and great recommendations and a spect list. Food cooked fresh served by great staff. Served hot and tasty and extremely good food. Good prices definitely worth the visit.

Two stars for the friendly service but the Calzone was really poor. Undercooked dough containing a few mushrooms and a slice of ham. It was bad and we will not be returning

Me and my husband have been here at least a dozen times in the last 3 years (taking in to account covid) and it is always amazing! I can't rate it highly enough! The staff are so friendly, the food is amazing, the restaurant is...

Been going now for a few weeks every thursday night with my wife. Food is amazing cooked to perfection. Very friendly staff and the owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Enjoy having a chat with the owners everytime we go. Feels like home . Excellent

Amazing little restaurant. Authentic food.perfect service. A true hidden gem Been again tonight and amazing as normal

We had such a fabulous nights. Delicious food and amazing service. 👏

It was nice atmosphere and food was nice and fresh will be back to try something else

Good meal and service, will be back.

Ordered lasagne as usual and it was so nice, a lovely meal. Waitress was very down to earth and friendly. Drinks are quite expensive is my only slight negative.

Goodfellas is our favourite restaurant. The staff are very welcoming. The food is delicious. We can highly recommend this place for couples and family’s.

We visit this little Italian/Sicilian regular and are never disappointed. Any of the Italian sausage and lobster ravioli dishes are highly recommended but even the basic pasta and pizza are still superb. Homemade desserts,draught morretti and the house wine are also superb. A shame it...

Trying g to fi d a good place to eat in Rotherham, found Goidfellows . Very nice food, lasagne was lovely, husband had Sausage ring nice too.

Great food, good service, but I can't recommend the peroni beer hence the lost star.

We went for the first time, and definitely not the last time. The lady who served us was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. I had the Gamberoni Piccanti (butterfly king prawns with spicy tomato sauce) as a starter, my partner had Funghi con aglio (garlic...

Visited for the first time last night (26th) to celebrate my wife’s birthday. From start to finish the service was outstanding. Went with no starter but the choice was amazing. My wife had the Lasagne and it was divine. The garlic bread with Tomato was...

A small (seemingly family owned) restaurant that serves great food in good time! The staff were attentive but not pushy or overbearing. Everything was reasonably priced and as mentioned, great food! If I lived closer, I would be here every few weeks. Thanks team.

The food is a disaster Reheated and tasteless I do not recommend

Decided to go out for dinner, thought this sounded nice. Yes very nice food,delicious hot. Italian sausage, lasagna, lovely . Tiramisu gorgeous. . Didnt sell Pinot noir though. Would go again

Just eaten at Goodfellas. Great pizza, chillied up a notch especially for me. Very generous with the topping, could barely eat it all! Highly recommended.

Lovely family run restaurant, the food was delicious and they were fab sized portions and not expensive at all. Definitely will be back.

Always a good time here love it.

Absolutely amazing customer service and very very nice food. Will definitely be a regular visitor

Lovely freshly cooked food served in a lovely setting. The waiter and waitress were very friendly and efficient. We have never been disappointed with the food or the service. We dined on a week night which was not too busy. I would highly recommend Goodfellas.

This restaurant is the real deal - the montepulciano house red was gorgeous and the food cooked simply but to perfection. Marcello told me his wife made the Tiramisu which was to die for

Great atmosphere, lovely food.

Absolutely excellent food, service and prices. Hubby says it's the best lasagne he has ever ate 5 star x

Some of the best Italian food I have had the service was excellent this restaurant is a little gem 5 star is not enough

Busy despite it being midweek. Warm greeting on arrival and seated straight away. We enjoyed starters of the two mushroom dishes followed by chicken and pasta. Again very nice. We didn’t however enjoy the garlic bread which appeared to have some sort of garlic oil...

Fantastic meal and very good atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Very tasty food good atmosphere fare prices
