O'Sarracino in Central Bedfordshire

Nice food, but music a little loud.

Great food and generous portions

Shared an evening with friends celebrating a birthday. Second time I have been there and was not disappointed.

I haven't had the pleasure of trying this place out yet, but I was just eyeing their menu, and boy, did I stumble upon something curious: The "Linguine allo Scoglio!" comes with a price tag of £21.95. But hold on a second – there's a 50% discount available on Tuesday nights or a lunchtime offer... with a little footnote: ​*"Please note a £7.50 supplement applies if ordered using 50% off on a Tuesday night or the lunchtime offer" Now, let's crunch some numbers... £21.95 - 50% equals £10.97. Add that £7.50 supplement, and voila! You're looking at £18.47, which essentially means the 50% discount on a Tuesday night or during lunchtime is more like a 16% discount. A tasty saving of £3.48 on your linguine, is not too shabby. But seriously, couldn't they just say that or skip putting that dish on the offer? I mean, come on...! I will go try it and let you know about it once the headache is gone... probably not on a Tuesday night.

Always my fave!! Food and service amazing!!

Amazing pizza!! Finally some proper Italian pizza place close home! The food is amazing! Pizza is incredible and service is also great! Small place so you might want to book before going because it get busy.

On entering even though it was a pre booked table we were told we had to leave by 8. Waitress initially friendly however when a dish was sent back to the kitchen she became very hostile. On a plus food was delicious although won't be heading back there.

Really enjoyed a family dinner here while visiting Potton. It’s a beautiful old converted barn with loads of character. Large menu with many interesting dishes. Food was authentic rustic Italian and generous servings. Loved it!

Food is wow..could not fault any of our dishes we had. No waiting area so if you get there early, you are not going to be able to wait. Great choice of dishes. Food fresh and tasty.

Beautiful atmosphere, stunning food and great service!! Love it here ❤️

Managed to find me a table (again) at short notice. Fabulous food and snappy service.

Been a few times food is always good and the restaurant is really authentic, the male was spot on with alll requests but the women was less than keen, condiments (parmassan, pepper) brought out when meals nearly finished, run out of lager, but food was good. Was rushed to finish and go home on a bank holiday Sunday. Unfortunately, customer care was not top priority for the waitress keen to get home.

This restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious and has a great menu suited to all tastes. I love seafood and definitely got my fix of massive prawns! The restaurant is lovely and quirky and the team gave a real authentic feel to the evening. My new favourite restaurant 😍

Wonderful food and service ,very attentive at all times and pleasant, aloud time between courses and not rushed. Highly recommend

Food amazing staff wonderful and helpful can't wait to go back

A wonderful Italian restaurant, with a great menu and very friendly staff. A vibrant atmosphere adds to the allure, and it is an ideal venue for both romantic couples and larger parties. This restaurant can become very busy, so I would strongly advise you to book first, to avoid disappointment!

Fantastic place, very friendly staff, quick service, tasty food ☺️

Authentic delicious Italian food. I've not been disappointed by any visit here and both pizza and pasta have been great. The service is also excellent with friendly waiters and waitresses. We're lucky to have such good restaurants in our area.

Fantastic food and staff. Great lunch.

Discover the epitome of seafood and pasta perfection in Bedfordshire at our favourite dining destination! Our family delights in each visit, especially our son who loves the rabbit-shaped pizza. The welcoming ambiance of the restaurant adds to the overall charm, and the service is nothing short of Perfetto!

Very good Italian place. No word of a lie. One of the best in the UK as a world traveler I can confidently say this.

Lovely food in great surroundings. The service we received was warm and friendly. We will be back!

Visited for the first time for a friend's birthday dinner. Lovely setting and very impressed by the varied menu and quality of food. We will definitely be visiting again.

Great and characterful Italian restaurant in an historic half-timbered building. The menu is versatile enough to cater to most tastes and the food is superb. Service friendly, attentive and efficient. As with most Italian restaurants it’s not the cheapest, though not excessive either. It felt like a real occasion to eat here. Simply delightful.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Recommended.

Excellent service, food and ambience.

Food was fantastic Joe (I think that was his name) the waiter was great will definitely go again

What a little gem. A warm welcome, great ambience, fantastic food, will be booking again soon.

Lunch with family, very friendly attentive service. Everyone enjoyed their meal; food was freshly cooked to order. Will definitely return.

Beautiful food, quality service!

The food is lovely & friendly staff, we did have a long wait for our food but it was worth the wait!

I couldn't love this place more if I tried! It's authentic, such a good vibe, great food options, great drink options and the whole team are always so great! The menu is also open for take away, they package it so well so it stays fresh too :)

The scallops in a fresh porcini cream sauce were superb and the crab linguine was also extremely tasty, well worth the journey from Hitchin. Parking easy, house wine quaffable and good value for money. A really good off the beaten track find.

Delicious authentic Italian food.

Visited 10th October in evening,wanted somewhere local as daughter just moved into area.We were made very welcome and enjoyed a wonderful meal, especially my seafood linguine.Even better as half price on pasta and pizza.Staff were very friendly and service good, we will be back.

Delicious food, great service, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. It was by chance that we drove through Potton yesterday evening and O'Sarracino caught our eye for some reason. We decided to go check it out and are so happy that we did so. Ordered Porcini and Pollo Rissoti and a Montanara Pizza. Both equally delicious, fresh and authentic. Recommending it 100% and can't wait to go again and try more dishes.

Had lamb shank really good but felt like something was missing there were no vegetables or anything else with it just in a bowl of gravy young man serving had a bad attitude The restaurant didn’t do proper Italian cuisine I’ll not return

Beautiful menu of authentic Neapolitan food. Great service and welcoming. Thank you, Cristina.

Love it! ❤️ Can never fault anything.. fabulous food, staff, wine, atmosphere...

Lovely little restaurant with good service and a great atmosphere. Going on a Tuesday evening with half-price pizza and pasta made the meal good value.

Lovely meal with a big party, food served hot and promptly with great service. Thanks very much.

Our first time here ,its absolutely brilliant, will definitely be coming again. We where made so welcome, the staff are really friendly thank you so much for making our 30th anniversary dinner so special

Superb restaurant - strongly recommend 👌

O'Sarracino in Potton is a lovely Italian restaurant. If you are around it and you are hungry pay them a visit. The restaurant has an incredibly cozy atmosphere doubled by a fine Italian decorative style. The food is, from my point of view, top Italian dish, comparable to the one I ate in Italy. Not to mention the lovely staff serving you and going the extra mile to make sure your experience is as good as it can be.

Good food, nice interiors, but dog unfriendly.

Food not as described in their menu, expensive for what was served

Lovely little Italian with lots of character and amazing food. We had two starters, two mains, two sides and a bottle of wine for £90. Food was delicious. Authentic good quality Italian. Would recommend.

Just the most delicious food and wonderful ambience

Waited 45 minutes to be served then told problems in kitchen asked if we would like complimentary olives but then charged for them had Risotto but not good very little chicken mainly rice and cold Merlot wine corked

Really poor quality. Food was overcooked, the ingredients were not fresh. They served us a fairly small half almost decayed kind of lobster (green inside with bad flavour). Used many sauces to cover the poor execution of the dishes. Really expensive for what was offered. The atmosphere was nice though. The service could have been better.

Calzone made me roll from one side of the bed to the other to experience it one more time

Best Italian restaurant ever!! Staff friendly, warm and professional, food TASTY and lovely atmosphere, make me forget that I was in Uk for a moment, can’t wait to go back 🔝 Grazie!!

Italy came to Bedfordshire - wonderful dinner and very grateful for being accommodated at short notice. Had a shared starter and some very tasty pasta for main rounded off with a lovely cheese cake for pudding. Plus a cheeky glass of white to wash it all down. Very friendly staff, super location. Can’t recommend more highly. Thank you all!

Loved the Italian authenticity. This is the best Italian restaurant I've been to in many years. Great food in a lovely restaurant. Reminds me of the old days where these places existed before big chains took over. Even the toilet was Italian. Could have some music added... the kind you find in a restaurant in Italy just too add to the atmosphere although on the 2nd visit it was packed and really great for a Monday night. Had the pollo fungi risotto 1st visit and Seafood Linguinne on the 2nd which was truly enjoyable. House Red was also quality.

Great find. Delicious food. Great value on Monday night too. We’ll definitely be back.

Came last night and had the Emiliana Bruschette to start and a carbonara for mains. They unfortunately brought me carbonara with cream, even though I asked without cream. The waitress spotted the mistake and asked if I’d like it remade. But to be honest it was so good anyway I didn’t really mind! All the food was above excellent. The staff were friendly and the service was well paced. You weren’t made to feel rushed or forgotten about. Would highly recommend visiting O’Sarracino! I’ll be sure to come back and try the carbonara without the cream next time for comparison!

Very pleasant mothers day lunch time. 1st visit, will defiantly use again.

Returned to this restaurant last night with my parents and children expecting a lovely evening as was my previous experience. I had reserved a table during the week. On my arrival I was told that no booking had been made. I was taken aback by this and assured the manager Gerry that I had indeed made the booking. He told me that he didn't believe me. His demeanour was rude and confrontational. He begrudgingly allowed us the table of 6 but insisted that he needed our table back by 8pm. This was not the warm welcome I was expecting. I have never encountered such rudeness on entering a restaurant. We all felt very unwelcome and hurried along. Ordinarily, I would have left, but I did not want to upset my family, so we ate our food, which was to its usual high standard. On leaving the restaurant, I approached Gerry to discuss with him how we were greeted, and I also showed him evidence on my phone as to when I made the booking. He said that people often make the mistake of reserving tables at their other restaurant in biggleswade. I told him that I hadn't done that, and here was my proof. He continued to justify his conduct, and even when I explained to him that he came across as rude and confrontational, he refused to apologise or accept that he was wrong. This kind of customer service was shocking and not what I expected. I feel aggrieved as I had always spoken very highly of this restaurant and had frequented it a number of times in the past and recommended it highly to many friends. I have never felt so awkward in a restaurant and will not return. Gerry, get some manners!

Delicious pizza in a lovely setting.

Very friendly staff and the for is amazing. Well worth a visit.

What can be said that probably hasn't been said already ? Going here is like finding an old tin box, that doesn't look much from the outside, then opening it to find it's lined with gold and contains priceless gems. I saw this gem develop from an old 'listed' loft into a haven of enjoyment all round and long may it last. Excellent food and service in an authentic unusual historical location. No matter when you go and what you go for you'll not be disappointed. Thank you.

Fab food great staff good price

A pleasant place serving good food.

Great food and lovely selections, just getting a little but pricey on the drinks now. The waitress was great just needs a bit off tweaking from the kitchen getting all the dishes out so everyone eats together, definitely worth popping in.

First visit tonight despite living locally. Lovely, attentive and welcoming staff. Fantastic space with a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and we had a wonderful evening. Will definitely be back. Thank you all.

Loved this authentic and homely experience. Food was brilliant and full of flavor. Hospitality was second to none so far. Grazie

Lovely Italian on the upper floor of a building full of character(which means lots of wooden beams!). Not too full for Sunday lunch. If you like straightforward Italian food cooked well with good servings and a lovely atmosphere l, this is definitely worth a visit. For busier times booking would be a good idea.

Went on Valentine's Day and I loved it, the food is just amazing and there were two very nice Italian singers. Will come again! Highly recommended!

A lovely Italian restaurant - gorgeous food and very friendly service 😁

Excellent service, excellent food, staff are so friendly. We had a lovely evening here, will definitely be back. Thank you

Airways great food and well priced with great service

Lovely and cozy place, nice helpful staff and amazing plates and flavours to enjoy in plentiful proportions. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely fantastic, sooo tasty, so fresh and delicious. Recommend the mussels in white wine, cream and chilli….Devine!!! The waitress Gioconda is truly wonderful and has excellent customer service skills, really lovely lady.

I have a wonderfull bufalina pizza number one in the bedfordshire

The food is amazing and so are the staff x

Our first visit and we will be back the food was amazing, service was good and the restaurant was in the eaves of the building with open beams and very bright, light and airy. Will be recommending to friends and family.

Lovely service, lovely setting and amazing food! We would recommend to anyone.

Fab food on New Year's eve before the set menu

we feel privileged to have such an exceptional italian restaurant locally - we have dined here regularly since the opening in 2019 and every meal has been delicious and all our friends and guests agree - the only problem is there are too many favourites to choose from!

Amazing food and very friendly, helpful personnel. I am from Palermo, It and I felt like I am home! the pizzas, pastas and starters were simply divine and truly tasty! Gioconda offered us an amazing service, with her friendly manners conquered everyone hearts! We were a group of 6 adults and three toddlers and she accommodated us in her truly Italian/napolitan spirits we deserved! Thank you very much!!! We will come back very soon! For another amazing pizza! Grazie mille: titolare, staff e sopratutto il pizzaiolo: siete stati fantastici

Very tasty food, friendly staff, good service. It was my first visit there and I will certainly go again.

Beautiful in every aspect. Delicious food, great service, cozy atmosphere and ambient.

Always fresh ingredients, tasty, hot and lovely atmosphere. Always a real treat to go ❤️

Super food as ever - delicious, great service and good value. See you again soon!

I don't know where to get better than this. Lovely.

Wonderful place, best in town. Great food and friendly staff.

Always a warm welcome with quirky beams to duck under. Reccomend to book a table as usually full when we go., which I suppose is the best reccomendation you can have. Lovely food and good wine!

We went there a couple of month ago with high expectations due to the reviews but left a bit disappointed due to the not very welcoming service, we felt more as a pain at some points not as guests. I enjoyed my risotto but the 2 Lasagne at our table where just average and slightly burnt. Maybe it wasn't their best day and we were just unlucky.

Food and staff are both lovely, would highly recommend 5⭐️

Really really really great. Italian at its best. Happy, buzzy, great wine choices. The food was fantastic, authentic so tasty. Beautiful staff..

Our second visit and it was wonderful, thank you! Fantastic food, friendly and helpful service (with great recommendations) and the 50% off pizza deal for Mondays made us a great saving. We felt really welcome and had a super meal. I am sure we’ll be back.

OMG this place is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Once inside, you'll taste the best Italian cuisine in UK 😍😍😍 Guys you DEFINITELY must come here!!!

Amazing food, reasonably priced, with a lovely atmosphere, we’ve returned multiple times and each time the food is delicious.

Terrific friendly, informal but professional service. Feel very welcome every time we go to either restaurant. Adore the food and wine ❤️

Traditional Italian cuisine and fantastic

We were there midday meal. For Granddaughter's 2nd Birthday. The Lady went 1 more step on top Good Food & service;Treat the Granddaughter with her Ice Cream as it was topped with a lite Candle & she brought out her Tambareen for us all to sing .

Great experience once again Food is always superb

This was our first visit and we will most definitely be coming back soon. The service and food was unbelievable, the staff really couldn't have been more helpful, polite or amazing! Thank you to everyone, we hope to see you again soon

absolutely stunning food and very well priced had two starter’s and two main meals plus a large wine and 3 beers and we felt the pricing was very fair considering the quality of all food ordered . The decor is cosy and staff are very attentive . The restaurant was full and our food came out on time . First time we have visited and have now decided this is our new date night spot . Best food in a 30 miles radius easy and we eat out a lot! 10/10 if you haven’t been get yourselves there !!xx

Absolutely blissful! Great service, exceptional food
