L' Invidia Ristorante & Pizzeria in Teignbridge

Great little restaurant. The staff can’t do enough for you. Thank you Antonio

Very small venue, menu choice is limited, table service was OK.... Food quality was OK. Overall... in my opinion, over priced for what was presented!

This was our first visit to a pretty little restaurant, but somewhat disappointing. Our starter of meats, cheese and bread was very good, and my husband’s pizza was lovely, but my sausage and kale risotto left a lot to be desired. It was bland and the rice was undercooked, at no point was I offered any pepper or Parmesan to liven it up, and the portion wouldn’t have satisfied anyone with anything other than a small appetite. Service was slow, but expected when every table was occupied and everything is cooked to order - and I did order risotto. However once we had eaten and other tables started to leave, we felt pressured to go too as we weren’t offered dessert or even coffee. We finished our wine and left. Not sure we will return. PS - Thanks to the management team for responding to my comments. We will consider returning at some time.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Flo, our host, was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our dinner truly memorable. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and exudes authenticity. The food quality is outstanding, clearly prepared with love and passion. If you're nearby, make sure to stop by—you won't regret it.

Good Italian food in town. The salad is super fresh.

The chef was arguing with the suchef a lot in the back which was amusing. The food was great, I went for my birthday and it was lovely

Booked for sons birthday as not been for a few years, read reviews and menu However the menu on website was not what we were offered and prices wrong as well eg margarita pizza says £8 and it’s £11 Anyway had to settle for that as nothing else suitable as so few dishes, not even bolognaise. Server very professional but out the back was a heated exchange going on. Pizzas mediocre and black underneath, very salty so left rest and pd up without anything else. Very disappointed so won’t return

The focus on authenticity and flavors that tease the palate is indeed a hallmark of true Italian cuisine. The restaurant definitely emphasizing high-quality ingredients and traditional recipes. Loved it and I will be eating here again. The chef has accommodated my dairy intolerance and I enjoyed every single bite.

Food did not come because they were closed, was still able to order - atrocious service.

Fantastic family meal. Thank you

Best service we have had since we came to England. Tasty food. Relaxing, cozy, quiet atmosphere.

Lovely meal, we popped in on the off chance of a table for two. And we were made welcome. Lovely, small quaint and felt authentic.. we will return

At last a real hidden gem, brilliant service, perfect food and the staff were interactive and friendly, will deffo be going back

Excellent all round and very pleased. Would highly recommend.

Food amazing as always - just a little late

A genuine gem. Pizzas were really good. The host was friendly, funny and engaging. Cosy atmosphere and decor. Tasteful, gentle music in the background.

What's not to like, great food and great service. Alex was a star!

A wounderful place where you can eat a perfect pizza in a magic atmosphere. Lovely italian staff. Thank you Floriano, you are a great host and singer too🇮🇹🎸🎶. Luisa, Beatrice, Giuseppe, Valentina, Marco, Daniele ❤️

Service was amazing the host was exceptional. The food was beautiful would definitely recommend and would also eat there again

MI6 here, Flaviano is a perfect host. Thank you for a great night

Fantastic service and great quality as always! The only genuine pizza in Dawlish and Teignmouth; and the restaurant is excellent too! Cheers, Gary

Don’t order online for delivery without checking with them first. Took the order and my money - then I received a mail that the order had been cancelled. Spoke to them and they said they cancelled it because they didn’t have a delivery driver. The third party still have my money and I won’t get it back for 2-3 days. Very disappointing. Can’t pick it up so no dinner for us. Grr!

Espectacular tanto la pizza como el pannuozo

Absolutely amazing pizzas. Fantastic ingredients and the base is probably the best I’ve ever had.

Visited on a trip to Teignmouth with some friends. Lovely food and great atmosphere in a proper cosy little Italian nook. The owner got really involved with his customers the whole way through and made us feel welcome. Definitely worth a visit!

It has been a magnificent experience, I needed to try authentic Italian food again, but this time in the restaurant. I Acknowledge you☝🏼

Absolutely brilliant takeaway, so delighted they now do pasta as well as amazing pizza. Delivery very friendly and prompt. Would recommend any time!

L'Invidia came very highly recommended. Our visit lived up to and surpassed expectations. Great food and atmosphere. Made to feel very welcome and at home. Flo creates a very relaxed and fun atmosphere. Grazie mille e a presto.

Excellent Italian restaurant. It feels like being in Italy with Italians as hosts. The food is delicious and fresh - pizza, risotto, pasta all 5*. It is so important to have places like this so please support them.

Hands down, most authentic, amazing pizza around! Love eating in (the owner and staff are absolute legends) and getting take away. 10/10

Nice ingredients but not cooked, just burnt round edge & stone cold, pity!

Excellent pizza base but a shame we didn’t get the correct toppings as one pizza was a plain Margarita, not the pizza we ordered so disappointed.

Lovely experience. Friendly and enthusiastic owner who was pleasant and engaging. Great food options. Freshly baked pizzas were superb. Totally recommend this place and would advise reservations as it's tight with just six tables. Very good experience. Thank you

Cosy and authentic Italian pizzeria with limited covers, so booking advised. Pizza was delicious with high quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. The tiramisu was exceptional. The charismatic proprietor made sure we had a memorable evening.

I'm confused! We were the only 4 people in there. Yes ok, it wasn't peak time of year however, the waiter/owner, was brilliant. The style was traditional Italian. If you want a British Italian then don't go here, the food you get is traditional Italian. It's a shame it wasn't busier, come to this place, enjoy the waiter, enjoy the food and enjoy the experience, its great.

What a wonderful little gem in Teignmouth. I could not fault the service, food & wine - all absolutely delightful! Highly recommend.

An intimate, friendly restaurant, with attentive staff and genuine Italian food. Thank you for staying open for the 2 of us on my birthday 💛

Delivery driver was great. Food was cold on arrival and barely any toppings (I had one thin chorizo disc on my whole pizza)

Had a wonderful Christmas eve, with my family. 5 stars goes to 'Flo' for his lovely hosting. The food was also very nice. Merry Christmas

Fantastic AUTHENTIC Italian food, prepared by a very experienced (100% Italian!) chef. We had 3 course meals (a group of 6) - ALL were impressed of the service, authentic Italian atmosphere and exceptionally tasty (dream!) food!! Already planning to go back soon 🤩😂 - well worth it and great value for money for sure!!

It's not easy to come across an Italian restaurant that is actually run by Italians and offer such a perfect pizza crust or meats cooked exactly like an Italian restaurant would. Staff is super welcoming. A worthy dinner out.

Good quality ingredients made into great food!

Real pizza. Absolutely delicious.

My original order wasn’t correct but they made a new one and delivered it straight away. Top people and great food.

Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful atmosphere. We entered to guitar music from a fantastic host and were warmly welcomed. We have no allergies ourselves but it was clear they would be catered for as we sat down, absolutely zero complaints. We've just moved to the area and are blown away by the quality of the entire establishment. We'll be back soon!

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Highly recommend

On a birthday weekend away we wandered around teignmouth looking for somewhere special to eat that evening, we were beginning to get disheartened when we stumbled upon l'invidia tucked away and were lucky to get a table wow what a little gem ,small and intimate lovely ambiance fabulous attentive staff and truly wonderful food absolutely wonderful little restaurant nothing we could fault highly highly recommend

Superb Quattro Staggione pizza and tiramisu, plus an excellent bottle of Chianti. Wonderful.

Had one of the most hilarious evenings with the lovely Maitre D. A cabaret in itself. Loved it.

We had an absolutely lovely evening, the owner was a lot of fun, it was such a friendly atmosphere. Tony was really accommodating when we needed to add more people to our booking last minute. Food was delicious and authentic, a little piece of Italy in Teignmouth! Recommend the focaccia and tiramisu - pizzas were also gorgeous! It is TINY so be sure to book - we have tried the last few years when visiting and had no luck! Worth waiting for though, my 10yo has already requested to book in next time we come down so sounds like we have a new haunt!

Just got round to reviewing our Friday night out at Linvidia. All 5 stars are warranted as all 6 of us had fabulously freshly cooked Italian dishes. Our host Flo provided a warm welcome and continued to make us feel at home throughout the evening, this surely is one of the premier Italian dining venues in the area, we along with our friends will revisit again to sample even more of the delightful Linvidia culinary experiences. Nice one Flo!

Visited this place a few days ago and loved it! The owner was super friendly, humorous, and accommodating. My family was on a little vacation in Teignmouth and to find an Italian restaurant in the little seaside town was already a plus. We ordered pizzas on both our visits and they were AMAZING. A little slice of Italy in Teignmouth, it was really good. The owner was quite awesome with children as well. A child forgot his phone and he ran outside to hand it to him. My husband and him really clicked, and we chatted for hours. He was super sweet to our little girl, teaching her a mini hospitality course lol. She loved it and wanted to stay for 3 more weeks! It's a really nice place, so if you're in the area, best to call and make a reservation as the tables go quickly.

We really enjoyed our evening, we were welcomed with friendly, humourous and attentive staff and lovely food in a cosy restaurant! Definitely would recommend!

We were looking forward to going to this restaurant. The front of house staff were very lively and welcoming. If only the starter was the same, my baby squid were like rubber, my main sea food tagliatelle was lovely. We will not be returning. Parking is available directly behind the cafe opposite pay at the machine.

Love it here! Friendly and sociable staff who really look after you, great food and wine! Always head here when we visit Teignmouth.

Fantastic evening with excellent food and the owner is incredibly welcoming and goes above and beyond to make sure you're looked after and enjoying your evening. Will absolutely be returning.

Simply…Fantastico 🤗 Cute and quirky with lots of character. Will be visiting again to try even more of the Italian delights on offer 😋 generous portion sizes! Grazie

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Would definitely visit again!

Second time here, a fantastic meal and fantastic atmosphere. We will definitely be back again. Love it. Xxx

An absolutely incredible date night with my husband! Cannot fault anything, an absolute gem of a restaurant in Teignmouth

From the offset a great place to be, greeted by Florine, with characterful Italian pleasantries. Food was delicious, and served as if from a Ferrari workshop. Eccezionale!

Loved the food and the owner was hilarious. Such a happy place definitely worth a visit.

Needed to find a local takeaway and discovered this gem. Authentic italian pizza 👍

Wonderful dining experience - brilliant service and attention from the maitre'd and the food was delicious! Engaged the children in the experience and catered for dairy allergy - so a great time was had by all.

Some of the best Italian food I have eaten. Very good service and staff were very friendly.

We've had dinner here before and is always really good. The gentleman who served us were lovely! Food was great PLUS they take card (a lot of restaurants cash only, which is NOT good) Here we could use card, which was GREAT

Brilliant evening! Fabulous atmosphere backed up by top class food. Best pizzas ever!

Best Italian we have ever had and we have travelled a lot too. Pizza and pasta was fantastic. Tiramisu was lovely. Fully worth the price and the owner personally served and was so friendly and nice. Always select small family owned restaurants it’s authentic and real. Please visit and support fully recommend.

Wonderful meal. Best Italian food I have had since I left Italy where I used to live.

Absolutely fabulous. Best hospitality and food outside of Italy. Loved it

Amazing! Best pizza in Teignmouth, lovely to have such an authentic option on our doorstep. Highly recommended! Many thanks.

What a brilliant place. Amazing food and service. Can’t remember ever having so much fun or laughing so much in a restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!

My girlfriend "now wife" stayed in the same street as the resturant, we walked past a couple of times looking for a resturant!!! Its not in your face and quiet small. One evening we came home and decided we would try a pizza! I can say without doubt it was the best pizza either of us had ever tasted, we stayed there about two years ago and still talk about it, it was beautiful, a perfect pizza, and im not a pizza man, we had pizza every night from then on and cant wait to go back, my mouth is watering thing about it, fantastic perfect and beautiful, well done snd keep up the magical work, coming back as soon as we can x you get a kiss because you deserve it. Daniel and Marie

The best pizzas in Teignmouth! So nice to have an authentic Italian restaurant locally, eaten both seated and takeaway, always blown away by the food! Myself and my partner love this restaurant ❤️

Wow amazing! Truffle pizza is a favourite. Pizza takeaway is available to order via their website and pick up. Staff are friendly and food is authentic Italian and great quality. Have eaten many times and food is always amazing

Great place. Food is lovely,staff friendly. Well worth s visit

I had a wondeful dining experience with a group of my friends The Italian owner who was also the front of house host was most welcoming and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would strongly recommend any of the Italian pizza's as my Stagioni pizza was delicious and fairly priced. The desert was very tasty too. Would highly recommend.

Amazing pizza , lovely restaurant . :)!

Characteristic Italian restaurant. The very kind and courteous owner welcomes all guests with professionalism and courtesy. The service is excellent, the pizza is very good.

Nothing to fault here. Our server was very friendly and provided great service with great recommendations. In all honesty I've never experienced such a high class restaurant. The recommended bottle of wine was opened at the table and boiled for us. The restaurant was small, only 6 tables. Which made it a very intimate environment. It was a gorgeous restaurant. And food was stunning too, very delicious and felt authentic. Big thanks to our server who really was amazing. Don't remember his name but started with a letter F. Definitely will visit again when in the area.

Had a lovely meal with friends. Menu in process of being updated so not everything available but what we had was delicious

We had our friends sue 60th here a couple of weeks ago. The food is amazing and the staff superb nothing was too much trouble, I recommend you book in advance so you are not disappointed 😃😃😃

This is by far the best pizza in this area…. My only negative comment is that the toppings are frugal… Also I would really like to build my own pizza but they limit what you can order… Also the toppings fell off during delivery… 🥴

Excellent service! Flo was lovely, accommodating 14 people for my cousins birthday. Meal great. Definitely recommend.

Lovely restaurant with wonderful service and absolutely delicious food and drink!👌

Very tasty and large pizzas with great bases. They had an issue with a staff shortage so we had to choose between both eating pizza or both from the main menu. The waiter was very chatty and helpful. Pizza was around the £12 each mark.

Pizza was top tier and you can tell by the taste it was fresh 10/10

The pizzas were perfectly edible however most of the toppings were missing from BOTH pizzas. I would have preferred them late, than wrong! Disappointed, wouldn’t order again as not enough care and attention.

We have ordered a lot from here and pizza is usually great! but unfortunately this evening we received 1 incorrect pizza and all pizzas were quite burnt on the bottom - disappointing

Awesome food, fantastic service and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and unbelievable service. Anybody looking for authentic food and a bit of treat should definitely visit whilst in Teignmouth or nearby. Thanks Flo!!

Wow, just wow... the food and service were both divine!

Booked a table at L'invidia with my friend and we had a fantastic evening! With fresh bread on the tables upon arrival and the amazing Flo to put a smile on your face, this lovely Italian restaurant is definitely worth a visit! The food is delicious and very authentic. I will be returning!

Pizza was soggy and badly burnt around the edges, couldn’t even slice it if fell into a wet mess and inedible.

The pizza was fantastic and the service was great. Would thoroughly recommend.

Brilliant Italian- wonderful meal and fantastic atmosphere!

Fantastic evening, excellent food, brilliant service! Looking forward to the next time.

Simply the best. Perfect sourdough. Perfect traditional pizza

Genuine Italian restaurant with some amazing food and great hospitality

An amazing service, made to feel very welcome, along with a delicious meal, made for a great evening. Will definitely be returning soon
