La Piazzetta in Shropshire

Amazing resteraunt. The food was fabulous. There is a great atmosphere.

Best italian food, nice people and atmosphere..

Went for lunch and we all had excellent meals including the steak sandwich. Service was great. Servers were all friendly, helpful and attentive. Prices were all very reasonable as well for the location.

Enjoyed my meal but it would have been improved had it hotter, only just passable. Didn't complain but informed the waitress.

It was my birthday yesterday. I had lunch at this restaurant, everything was wonderful. Thank you to the staff for the service. We recommend with love!!

Excellent visit. Staff very attentive, food excellent and price extremely good value.

Excellent breakfast. Fabulous coffee.

An easy total recommendation. We had the pork belly and the seafood risotto. It was so tasty and the service delightfully understated. We weren't rushed in any way. Loved it

Staff are lovely, great coffee, nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

Beautiful restaurant. Food was lovely, wonderful staff. Will be back again soon.

Lovely find on a day out. Beautiful food, great service.

Food was very slow..about 30 minutes for the food to arrive..the waiters never informed us of the delays nor enquired if we needed more drinks..best bacon though..my beans were ice cold..felt like it was not defrosted correctly

Never been here before, but will definitely return. The food was fresh, tasty and well presented and tasted amazing.

The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is very pleasant and the food is delicious👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

First visit. Food very good. Service good. Atmosphere spoiled by the smell of their refuse bins permeating into the eating area. It was worse when going to the toilets and to discover the bins were in the corridor. Doesn't make us want to visit again.

The porchetta and chicken liver parfait are the best; staff are very attentive and friendly.

Perfect Lunch and really nice service, had the Tuscan Chicken liver parfait for a light lunch and it was fantastic and super tasty, highly recommend this restaurant.

Nice restaurant, good service and decent prices but the food falls short of the mark. All three courses lacking taste. The food needs more flavour.

Just ok….. food was nice but service spoiled a little

Always great food here. Having visited at all times of day. Breakfast is a good selection, not all the standard dishes, but extra ones too. Lunch, a light bight ir larger meal, and dinner..... All great quality with good, friendly service.

I Had a 2 course meal using a Groupon deal, the food was very tasty & well presented but the portions were just too small, I even ordered a side order of garlic bread when my main arrived because I knew it wasn't going to fulfill my appetite but the side order of garlic bread wasn't worth the £3.95 they charged & was very disappointing. The staff were all very pleasant & helpful, but I won't be returning. I know when you go on a Groupon deal your not paying the full price & not to expect the same as a full price meal but I don't expect to leave a restaurant after a 2 course meal & still be hungry.

Went in this morning for breakfast . My husband had poached egg on toast which was fine i ordered granola and yogurt .. there was a full bowl of granola and maybe a small tablespoon of yogurt top it was dry snd made me cough … no one came over to ask if everything was ok .. we paid the full bill and told her i had left it explained that yogurt and dry granola need to be layered

Fantastic Italian restaurant in the middle of Shrewsbury with great friendly staff. Sit outside in the sun or indoors. A high table option in the middle that I prefer. Antipasto to share is lovely, with a selection of cured meats, olives, salad, liver parfait, chutneys and breads. Goes very well with a selection of red or white wines, maybe your choice is bubbles. Great value for money, great atmosphere and brilliant choice for either lunch or dinner. If you're feeling full, just pop in for a lovely coffee and a cannoli.

Beautiful place, amazing and friendly staff. Welcomed our Labrador even gave her some little treats. The coffee is lovely and would recommend the lemon and blackberry cake it was delicious.

Friendly welcome, efficient and cheerful staff, excellent, freshly cooked food. Could definitely recommend. Slightly dark inside, but that is a minor problem.

We visited on a Sunday as a family. Food was quite nice, especially the mains - mushroom risotto and king prawn linguini. However, service was the opposite, they were clearly overwhelmed and very slow. We waited 30min between starters and mains and had to ask several times for the dessert menu. When we asked for the bill, they included 10% service and the waiter, a very young guy, asked that if we wanted to we could remove it. I said yes. Just after that he said that it was not possible on the card machine so after paying he would remove it on the till from our bill and we would not be charged. We have been charged anyway - never again.

The food it's amazing, staff friendly and helpful

A very popular restaurant, ran by the same local owners responsible for two other sister restaurants in Shrewsbury town centre. Location-wise, you will find anywhere better. La Piazetta overlooks Shrewsbury's Old Market Square (and Hall), thus making it absolutely perfect for people-watching. There are tables (with accompanying service) directly outside the frontage and Shrewsbury's museum and tourist information centre is right next door. Great for Italian-themed cuisine rather than stereotypical pizzas or lasagnas. The staff are pleasnant, helpful, understanding and will always greet you at the door. The food is prepared with incredible quickness. This restaurant is kind enough to cater for local, small groups that regularly meet there in quieter times even if it just for a coffee/cake/light breakfast snack. I really want to keep this to myself but the Chicken Milanese is beyond belief. It tates of paradise and you accompany it with fries, you'll not need another meal for 72 hours if you manage to consume everything. Consistency and dependency is paramount at La Piazetta. You can really upon a pleasant experience, no matter what time of day, who is preparing the food and who is serving it. It's a venue you'll return to, I guarantee.

Excellent restaurant in shrewsbury great service and the seafood linguine was excellent

Wonderful evening spent in this restaurant. The staff were so helpful and friendly, they couldn’t do enough for us. The starters and mains were so delicious and all of us enjoyed our evening, we will definitely return.

This is my favourite Italian in Shrewsbury. Every dish I have had there has been delicious! Good, hearty, tasty fare, made with the love and attention to detail you would find in Italy. I especially enjoy their beef bolognaise and bread and butter pudding! Their wines are also good quality.

Love this restaurant just wish they hadn't changed the chicken milanase it was beautiful with the mushrooms and sauce

Love the food and in my opinion one of the best restaurants in Shrewsbury

Steak came sliced up as if I was a 4 year old,and consequently cold. The only place I have ever been to do this. Please stop!

Lovely lunch today. I highly recommend the spinach and ricotta tortellini, it was delicious.

Not a bad meal but nothing special. Our starters were forgotten so we ended up having them with our main dishes. My partners wine glass had lip stain on them. Dessert menus were given on request but then we seemed to be forgotten about. Then I see that they had the cheek to add on a 10% service charge to the bill. Why do restaurants do this? Are staff not being paid to serve the customers? We are not in the USA, tipping should be optional if the experience has exceeded expectations.

Food was very good one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life and that the service was very good

The restaurant is lovely and comfortable. Tried king prawn as an appetizer and mushroom risotto as main course. They are all brilliant. The two stars are for them. But the kids menu is really disappointing. No meat and vegetables. Pasta, drink and a pack of bread stick. £5.95 to £6.95 each, not worthy. The taste of pasta is not good, my kids didn’t like them at all. Pomodoro pasta is acceptable. Creamy pasta tastes awful. My girl refused to finish them and passed to me. Me and my girl have stomachache after home. Sigh…..😔 The restaurant is very nice and comfortable. Tried the prawns as an appetizer and the mushroom risotto as a main course. They are all delicious. These two stars are given to them. But the kids menu was really disappointing. No meat or vegetables. Pasta, drinks and a pack of breadsticks. At £5.95 to £6.95 per serving, not worth it. The pasta tasted bad and my kids didn't like them at all. Tomato pasta is acceptable. Creamy pasta tastes terrible. My daughter refused to finish the meal and gave it all to me. Then my daughter and I came home with stomachaches. Sigh...😔

Called in today for lunch with my husband. Brilliant food, amazing staff and lovely surroundings. Will certainly be back.

Had a mediocre starter and waited for 30 mins for the main course only to be told that they missed our order. By then, it was already 2.30pm so we left feeling hungry. The flat white coffee I had was also not great. They did apologize but still we were charged the starter and coffee in full. Don't think I will ever go back again

Nice location on The Sq (Square). Really nice interior, very comfortable and atmospheric. Staff were helpful and worked as a team from owner to new starter. The food was so flavoursome and a bit different to the norm. When in Shrewsbury do not miss this lovely restaurant. I will call to make a reservation next time I am in lovely Shrewsbury!!

Went today for lunch, food was ok but not great. Carbonara was bland, the Margherita pizza was pretty average and I don't think it was freshly made on site. Steak was very good. Service was great One other thing to mention is the cheap menus that we were given, the main menu was laminated and sticky, the lunchtime specials menu was stained, creased paper and just pretty grim. Pretty disappointed overall with a hefty £80 lunch for 3 people, just food and soft drinks

Great genuine Italian. Good food, and a friendly atmosphere. Good WiFi too. The breakfast is also excellent.

A really nice place. Had a very enjoyable lunch with family. I had the Halloumi sandwich. It was a bit on the small side for me. My wife’s gnocchi was fantastic!

Lovely place. Delicious food and good sized portions. Nice music, quiet enough to have a proper conversion. Very attentive and friendly service. Not cheap not expensive, roughly £20 per person, but felt good value and the whole experience was lovely. Food took a little while (25 minutes or so), so maybe not the best if you're in a rush, but if you're not in a hurry then it's a good sign because good food isn't fast food.

Totally loved this place the food was beautiful and the service was amazing. Lovely waiting in staff, can't wait to go again.

Long wait and terrible pancakes. We waited 30 mins for cold pancakes and a ham and cheese croissant. We couldn't finish the pancakes as the "chocolate" was a horrible tasting brown syrup. Apart from the wait the service was fine and the setting is nice.

Great food and frendly attentive staff. Really enjoyed our meal

Popped in last night after seeing the New Bob Marley film and we weren't disappointed. We both ordered off the specials menu. I had the sirloin steak with crayfish and my wife had the cod with pesto risotto. The food was lovely and service great.

Good food. Lovely friendly service. Great location.

Excellent, friendly place, well cooked food finished off by an incredible espresso.

Absolutely loved this gem of a restaurant! Called in for a quick lunch while Christmas shopping, and was so surprised by the quality and service that we are already planning a return visit and have recommended to several friends! The staff were so friendly and helpful, very attentive! We had the seafood sharing platter, and wow! Highly recommended to seafood lovers ! Bread basket was lovely, and the sweet potato fries were the best we have ever had! The kids' menu had a great choice, and the portion sizes were amazing! More than enough to fill up our 12 year old! Looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful meal not cheap but worth every penny

Came here New Year's Eve for a meal with the family and it was utterly delightful. Did my normal test: one not on the menu, one half the size and one heavily modified. All of them were fantastic and absolutely delicious 😋 Every dish was cooked bespoke and really fresh. Will be coming here again.

A large table of 7. Great service, lovely hot, delicious food 😋 a fabulous time by all.

Restaurant looks and feels nice but food is OK..... Far from being Italian.

Nice spot and good atmosphere. Food was okay. Starters and dessert very good, main (steak) was small and also, weirdly, came sliced up. Was a bit tepid. Service not the best. We had to ask to order starters / mains / drinks and then again for dessert. Was proper busy in there though, so no dramas.

Great atmosphere, amazing food and good service. Dog friendly too! Would definitely recommend for a lovely, relaxed lunch with family or friends.

Delicious pasta, very charming place and pleasant staff 😉 apart from a mix-up with an order.

Arrival was appalling! Taking of the drinks and meal order again shocking from the same young female waitress! Definitely a put of to dine again.

Friendly staff, good food, quick service

Fantastic experience here this evening. My partner and i visiting Shrewsbury for my birthday weekend and were in search of an authentic fresh Italian meal, we were not disappointed. This is a busy restaurant and for good reason, it is well worth the wait. From the second we entered there was a warm reception and all members of the team were friendly and delivered great service, even though they were rushed off their feet. We had starters of Mushroom Brushetta and Calamari, followed by main courses of Chicken/Mushroom Farfalle and the Porchetta. Finally for desert my partner had the Bread and Butter Pudding. The food was exceptional and we will definately return when visiting again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

First time visiting. Had a really great lunch here yesterday.Polite and attentive staff, food was tasty, fresh, good portions and would definitely go back. Couldn't fault it😊

Excellent food. Excellent service. Will be back.

Really friendly staff, slow service and bang average food. A watery flavourless risotto which I tried to finish but lost interest after a few spoonfuls. It didn't taste of anything and it didn't have a decent cohesion or consistency. Sweet beans on crostini for the starter. Finished it but wasn't great. Overall very disappointing. Needed more flavour and finesse for each dish. Again, nice staff, good location but needs improvement to match a 4.7 Google review...

We loved it! It was our go-to restaurant in Shrewsbury when it was Carluccio's as it has a special meaning. We continued to go when it changed hands but noticed that the service was getting poorer. They need to be more attentive to every guest. When they are, I will revert my service stars to 5. Will give it one last chance.

Friendly, welcoming place to be. One of the places in Shrewsbury we always visit. There is a definite family atmosphere about La Piazzetta which is really nice to see and experience

Great breakfast, coffee is excellent. I will definitely return to try the cake selection 😜

The minute steak and seafood risotto was fantastic

Good food, excellent service reasonable prices

Simply amazing. Just that, try it and you’ll agree.

Lovely food and attentive staff

We had not booked but staff managed to fit us in. Staff were brilliant and so helpful. Food is awsome. !!!

Visited for the first time fora meal with several of my friends. The food was excellent, the staff were very nice and the service was great 😊

We both love Italian food and so to celebrate our 50 th wedding anniversary we chose the venue with a pin and were well pleased with our choice. Excellent location and decoration. Staff were all very helpful. The wine was of a very good quality and the choices on the menu was adequate.although I would have liked a large helping. My wife’s was more than she could eat, so I helped her. We will certainly be returning when our family come to visit. Many thanks to all the staff who helped to make one of our celebratory meals positively memorable.

What a find absolutely out of this world food so good fabulous and a great atmosphere staff excellent we had Meg serve us and she was fantastic

Fabulous food and wine with great service

Food was good for the price. Staff lovely.

Absolutely loved our anniv meal here. The service was spot on, 10/10, for the guy who was extremely helpful and enthusiastic throughout. The food was delicious and nice sized portions. The cocktails and drinks were refreshing and served in chilled glasses. The atmosphere was delightful. All in all, it was a really fab night, a fab meal, and a joy to experience. Will definitely go again.

We arrived an hour early as we’d been at an event in town and the weather was bad so asked if we could sit down to our booked table early. They said yes which we thought was great. We mentioned we were waiting for someone to arrive. We ordered drinks which were fine, however we were asked by several members of staff if we wanted to order food, we kept having to say that we were waiting for someone, one member of staff asked a couple of times. I found this a bit annoying seeing as we were an hour early for the booked table and it wasn’t too busy either. A guy that worked there looked increasingly annoyed with us. Eventually we felt pressured into ordering food. Overall, the food was lovely, everyone said they enjoyed theirs. I would come back but i did find some staff impatient.

The best italian food, I remember

An excellent independent Italian restaurant in the heart of Shrewsbury. A bit loud at times but only because it's popular and it's the sound of a lot of very happy people enjoying good food and good company! Very reasonably priced.

Went in for a quick bite, sweet potato fries and garlic bread. Some of the best garlic bread I've ever had, fries were nice and crispy with perfect salting. Lovely staff

Ok location, bland menus for a Italian restaurant, over priced for what you get

Lovely ambiance. Good food at affordable prices. Service from Rosie was exceptional. Nice to see the staff actually get to receive the money from the service charge and look after their staff. Will be returning again.

Stopped for breakfast. Had the scrambled eggs on toast, I tell you what, it was really tasty, one of the best I have had. Nice surroundings, I sat by the window looking out at the old market hall. Staff friendly, toilets clean, no complaints.

Excellent service on a busy Saturday lunchtime- wait staff are very attentive and food was prompt. You can see it's popular with the locals which is always a good indication. Only minor gripe is that the pizza's were a little doughy- but that's more down to personal preference than anything else. Ingredients are fresh and flavours are fab! And the cincher for us- dog friendly!

Can recommend the chicken salad. Very pleasant restaurant in the centre of town. Friendly staff and a good variety on the menu. Only slight issue is the number of tables squeezed into the space but this is understandable when you need to have as many covers as possible. Coffee was good but adding a surcharge for oat milk with a cup of tea is a bit off given the price paid for the meal and the 10% service charge Went in for a 2nd visit after looking at the menus in surrounding restaurants and decided no one else was doing a salad for lunchtime without beans and a load of other stuff I didn’t want. Good on La Piazzetta for keeping things traditional

Great service by great staff in this friendly restaurant.

Love this place, been several times. Efficient, friendly and helpful waiter and waitress service, fab food, lovely interior, and a cosy ambience.👌

Lovely Italian right in the middle of Shrewsbury. We were seated straight away when we arrived without a reservation. Had a seafood platter to start with.. excellent. Mains were just as good.. all freshly prepared and delicious. Had a mix of burgers, pasta and sandwiches. All were cooked as requested.

First time visit to La Piazetta on Tuesday 22nd August 2023 and both my granddaughter and myself were not disappointed. The aesthetic and ambience of the restaurant made us feel at home as if in Italy. The service was first class and the food was served in a timely manner and with a smile. Overall a nice experience and further visits no doubt.

Good family run restaurant well cooked and good value Italian food

Nice food and attentive servers.

Food, staff and atmosphere was amazing. Very child friendly, they also allow dogs. Our two kids lobed the kids menu and the attention from the staff. Was probably the best pasta dish I've had in a long time, thank you 😊

Absolutely delicious food was great service was professional and sociable have not a complaint to say 😋

We had booked a table of 4 for 7pm on Saturday evening, La Piazetta team were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the food was outstanding. We had a brilliant time!

Calm atmosphere lovely staff and really nice italian breakfast

La Piazzetta has never disappointed us, the food is good, the service is excellent with a subtle Italian atmosphere. We usually stop by for a light lunch, a sharing platter and a bottle of wine typically. Recently visited for lunch with friends, a great success. I can throughly recommend.

Very friendly, welcoming, and informative staff. The food was very tasty and fresh. Reasonably priced.
