A first visit for us to this bijou, tastefully decorated, quiet cafe. It's a little off the beaten track but worth tracking down for the food and service.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Lizzy's restaurant. From the moment we walked in, Lizzy and her husband Stephan made us feel right at home. The hospitality was exceptional, and the food was absolutely amazing. We highly recommend this charming establishment. The painting of Caernarfon Castle on the wall perfectly complemented the decor. It was a delightful dining experience! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

The food and experience were amazing. We stumbled upon this place looking for some good food and good is an understatement. I would recommend the fish and chips for sure, but everything else on the menu sounded delicious. The staff are also amazing. They accommodated us while having an unfortunate power outage. They definitely went above and beyond serving us and made for a very memorable dinner.

Myself and my friends had booked a table at Lizzy’s and were greeted with a smile and shown to our table. The waitress was very attentive and took our food orders promptly. I decided on the pâté with onion marmalade for starters. Oh my goodness!! The side salad was so fresh and tasty! The pâté itself was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of the marmalade! I almost licked the bowl that it was served in! I ordered the gammon for my main, which was served with egg AND pineapple, peas and homemade chips. The chips were delicious, as was the gammon. The whole experience was so very enjoyable and I will definitely be back! Attentive staff, delicious home cooked foods to a very high standard and a welcoming, warm atmosphere. Thank you Liz and team! 5*

I went here after much deliberation about what place to go in the town. Such a disappointment. Terrible food. No culinary craft. All dishes could easily be made at home. Expect much more when you are paying £100 for dinner!

It was our first time eating in this restaurant & were made to feel very special. If I lived locally we’d be here all the time. The owner and all the team were genuinely friendly and were excellent guides to our choice of food and wine for the evening. My advise would be to try their recommendations. You certainly won’t be disappointed. So if your thinking about eating here - don’t hesitate- just book your table.PsIt was our 34th anniversary and will celebrate our 35th here

Had a wonderful meal here last night, we shared a meat and cheese platter and carpaccio. Absolutely faultless and certainly one of the very best antipasti we've had, really well selected meats and cheeses, delicious pate and bruscetta with interesting and delicious vegetables too. The coccoli bread and mushroom pate were particular highlights. The host/chef was a lovely chap and certainly knows his stuff and is passionate about food. We will absolutely be returning when we're next I'm Caernarfon - I only wish we were closer!

It was good to find a restaurant that concentrates on Tuscan regional dishes rather than the ubiquitous pizza and pasta of many Italian restaurants. I think it was beneficial that they concentrate on a limited selected of dishes on the menu and cook them well rather than a wider choice that might otherwise be less inspired.The staff were very friendly and helpful in explaining the less familiar dishes. The meat and cheese sharing board was excellent... come to think of it now, I didn't see an olive on it!Portion sizes were over-generous but the downside was there was only room for a single plate of panna cotta to share. It shouldn't be ignored but the coffee was, of course, excellent.

Visited with family and had a warm welcome. The young girl waiting on was very friendly and helpful with the menu.Ordered the sharing meats and cheeses board to start which was really good. The fried Italian bread was the best thing and more of this would have been great.Sadly the pasta mains were okay but nothing special. I undertand that this is a rustic restaurant which is fine however the portions were too big, no presentation and the flavours quite flat which was a shame. I would definitely revisit for the platter and the wine. I don't think we'd go for the pasta again though.

We live locally and had heard very good things about Osteria. We booked through Facebook, but were told that booking was a must because the space is very limited. I can’t fault the staff, or the quality of the food, but what I will say is that the menu could be broader. Bruschetta was out of this world especially the Gorgonzola walnut and honey topping. But we wanted a good pasta main. We understand that Tuscan food I totally different to the food of southern Spain but for the price I was expecting a main that consisted of much more than a ball of mozerella a few cherry tomatoes Parma ham and garlic bruschetta. So I basically got a Tuscan Plowman’s.I love the fact that there is diversity in Caernarfon but charging a premium price for starter like mains is a bit much.I would say try the place out but in future I’ll be spending less for an Italian meal at Villa Marina.

Food was not terrible but it wasn’t restaurant quality. We shared bruschetta, which was cold, even the garlic mushroom topping, which did not look or taste freshly cooked. We both chose our mains from the specials menus, my husbands was ham, mozzarella, tomatoes and some garlic bread! I chose a prawn, with leek and chilli sauce pasta. It was pasta twirls with some tiny chewy prawns, cream sauce and a sprinkle of dried chilli on the top. Was not good at all. There was one waiter who struggled managing. Def would not recommend.

Our host had been here for 4 years from Florence -making the most of an opportunity. Well the result tonight was a pleasure to eat and experience. We started with a platter or bruschetta with some meats,cheese and honey plus this spectacular secret weapon. Deep fried Bread. I can’t even begin to describe it. Other than to say WOW ! Then on to carpaccio of beef with delicious tomato and Parmesan salad. Sumptuous indeed. Now feeling full N had to try the Panacotta trio. Another triumph. The two young people guiding our choices were excellent and with the added input from the Chef Patron the whole experience was wonderful. N particularly enjoyed his suggestion for a fine wine by the glass. Osteria is a small cosy space with attentive knowledgable staff who deliver on all fronts.

The last time I wrote a review on an Italian restaurant I was in Italy. The food and the flavours in this restaurant made me think we were back in Italy not in Wales. Small restaurant, small menu but massive flavours. Authentic breads cheeses meats pasta lovingly produced. Recommend you book (we did) as lots of people were turned away as the restaurant was full, but this did not detract from the quality of the food or the service. A must visit restaurant if in Caernarfon!

We ate dinner here on a recent trip to the town. So pleased we found this place. I was talking about it for weeks afterwards. Just wish I’d done this review earlier. A lovely, tiny restaurant with a nice atmosphere and the proprietor is passionate about the food and explaining what’s what. My partner had a bruschetta to start with and then the pasta amatriciana. I had the vegetarian platter which was just wonderful, and included several wonderful cheeses, delicious bread bites and perfectly seasoned vegetable slices (among a number of other elements, all of which combined to provide what was for me the perfect flavour-balanced meal). I absolutely loved it. For dessert we had the trio of panna cotta and the dark chocolate cake. Please note this was back in May, so the menu may well have changed since then. Our host even humoured my attempts to speak Italian! Can’t praise it enough, highly recommended.

Looks promising from the outside and it's a nice, small space inside too. Had lunch here. Had one of the specials, saffron pasta with bacon and peas, and a board for one person of meats, cheeses, bread and a bit of veg. If I'd cooked the pasta at home I'd have been perfectly happy with it, though I would have liked a bit more sauce. However, at about £13 a pop for pasta it should be something really special, it wasn't. Nothing wrong with it, though it could have been seasoned better, it was just way overpriced. £7/8 would have been a more reasonable price. Same goes for the 'just OK' board as well. Very small amounts of cheese, some decent meat but very average quality bread. £15 was again about £5 over a reasonable charge. Glass of wine and a bottle of Peroni to drink. So, nothing was wrong especially, though some things could have been better, it was just overpriced for what it was.

This little immaculate restaurant is a real find. It’s the most authentic Italian I have found and I spend a lot of time in Italy. The house and vegetarian platters were delicious and the pasta was cooked on point. We enjoyed some great Pecorino wine from Cantina Tollo and the deserts were beautiful. The host was very helpful, polite and engaging. It will set you back a little bit in my view better to pay a little more for the real deal. Can’t recommend highly enough.

You think you know Cheesecake? You can have all sorts of fancy stuff and that, but this is the real thing. It is just proper lush. I cannot think of any other way to describe it. But you have to believe me, this it THE cheesecake. The bruschetta (yes I had to look that up) is definitive as well. Next time I will have bruschetta for starter and mains. It is that good. Not fancy, just really, really good.

This little Osteria tucked away at the top of a side street is well worth seeking-out. It's real, it's simple, it's excellent! The very enthusiastic and engaging Sergio really goes out of his way to ensure you enjoy your visit to the utmost. The mainly "Tuscan-influenced" menu is cleverly thought-out and delivered with an Italian flourish. This was probably the best Italian meal my wife and I have eaten for a long, long time.

A nice setting, the staff were very attentive and polite but the pasta main course was very bland. Pasta Strascicata with Bolognese Ragu and Bechamel suce had next to no meat, as good as no sauce and was completely tasteless. It was just like eating Penne pasta on it's own. What a disappointment as the reviews are generally good.

I came here for the first time yesterday, and it won’t be my last. The menu’s lovely - there isn’t a huge choice, but there’s a good choice, and along with their menu, there’s also a specials board. There’s a wide choice of bruschetta toppings, which I was thrilled with as bruschetta is my favourite Italian dish. You could choose one as a starter, or you could have a bruschetta board where you choose up to three toppings and receive six slices which is a main meal for one person or it can be shared as a starter or nibble between a group. There’s also a choice of antipasti, pasta and meat dishes. I chose the bruschetta board - 2 slices of jam and goats cheese, two slices of cheese and smoked salmon and two slices of cheese, honey and walnut bruschetta. They were all delicious, but my favourite was the honey, walnut and cheese topped bruschetta. I had a very nice red wine too. I can’t remember the namr of it, but it was number 11 on the wine list. The service was very friendly and I didn’t have to wait long for my food. Highly recommended. I will certainly be back the next time I’m in Caernarfon, which is likely to be in around 12 weeks or so.

It is sometimes difficult to find good Italian restaurants in UK but occasionally we stumble across something extra special. Osteria Caernarfon was really exceptional.

If you're expecting a chain type Italian restaurant with an extensive menu then this is not the place for you. If you want cosy, intimate and a small menu done well, then you really have to visit Osteria.

We found this restaurant on Trip Advisor and it was wonderful. The good vibes started when I facebook messaged for a reservation and got a speedy and friendly response. When we got to the restaurant, the owner was so gracious and welcoming, and the waitress did a good job explaining the menu. We ordered the small capaccio plate and two arrabiata penne pasta dishes. We asked about having a ilttle meat added and the waitress suggested adding some bacon to the dish. I wanted a spicier version than my husband, so the owner offered to bring extra chili pepper to the table instead of having it added in the kitchen, and it worked great because I was able to get just the heat I wanted. All the food was fantastic. The carpaccio plate was imaginative, beautifully presented, and very tasty. The penne was al dente, perfectly cooked. And the sauce was delicious, flavorful without being overpowering or overly salty, the right consistency, and the bacon was a great addition because it added flavor and bulk. We were too full for dessert but I have no doubt they are as delicious as everything we tried.

Ate here 2 of the 4 nites spent in Caernarfon. I would never have guessed that in northern Wales there would be such a lovely Italian bistro...but was I mistaken. This restaurant is on a par with any Italian restaurant located in a major city. The starter plate with the selection of meats, cheeses, vegetables and breads could be a meal in and of itself. Really delicious as was the beef stew, pastas and desserts. Owner was very friendly and affable.

A lovely little Tuscan restaurant tucked away near the castle. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table upstairs, although there are a few tables on the ground floor if preferred. The menu had good choices and we chose a large sharing platter as our main course. A smaller sharing platter is also available to have as a starter. The menu had good choices, but don’t expect a huge menu as this is a genuine Tuscan restaurant and not one of the large Italian chains! The food served was excellent quality and a simple explanation of what it comprised was given. Well worth a visit.

This was a last minute selection on a very wet and windy night in September. The truth is if I had checked the menu before going I might have thought the menu was not for me and I would have been wrong. The restaurant which is tucked away in a side street near the castle does not have a large menu choice instead it concentrates on what it can do well. The restaurant is on two levels but is not large. It was a quiet night so we can only comment on the service that night which was excellent. I chose a Tuscan beef stew and my wife had the board with a choice of breads and cheeses both of which were excellent. Mine reminded me somewhat of a shredded beef meal we had in Miami in a Cuban restaurant. We both the Pancetta which again was excellent. Our bill on the night including drinks and coffee came to £55 with tip. I just wish this place was down on the south coast as that night a family on another table living within 20 miles of where we live also said they enjoyed their meal.

Managed to book a table on our second attempt! The food, from the house special sharing platter to start, to the aubergine parmigiana, followed by panna cotta to finish, was all truly delicious. If you want the pizza and pasta that we have become accustomed to in this country you will probably think that this place is not great, but if you want authentic Tuscan cuisine then look no further. We were served by the lovely Abbey (sorry if I have misspelled your name) who is a great asset to this fabulous restaurant..

We checked reviews for this restaurant and needed sustenance after a very long journey.

Delicious sounding items on the menu, incredibly difficult to pick just one. Service was amazing. Food delicious. Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free for those who require. Absolute gem of a discovery, can't wait to go back

Had tried to get in before on our week in Caernafon but it was all booked. Were lucky on our last night, we were early but so glad we were able to get in. Lovely couple running things and so informative about the menu. Food was delicious and would recommend.

Saturday lunchtime visit. Very friendly and welcoming waitress explained what each dish comprised and what all the menu options were. We chose a platter to share. Service was quick, food was delicious, nicely presented with generous portions. Proprietor came and chatted. We are both new to Italian food other than your usual pizza etc. This was a new experience and a new venue to us which we will both visiting again. Highly recommended.

As soon as you walk in and are greeted you can tell this is a restaurant that prides themselves on making you feel welcome and at ease. The food is tasty and I suggest perfect for two or a small group. Sharing dishes is highly recommended.

A hidden gem of a place tucked away in a side lane close to Caernarfon Castle. Beautifully presented, generous portions, absolutely delicious food. Service was most attentive. One of our best meals whilst in Snowdonia this time.

We had a warm welcome; brilliant service where the passion came through. We, and the children, tried some new things which were first class! Try it. You absolutely won't regret it.

I found this little gem on trip advisor and decided to check it out. It’s a little restaurant full of character, from the old stone walls to wooden windows and homely feel. The Italian gentleman who served me took his time to talk me through every option on the menu and answered any questions I had. Truly a delightful experience. I’d advise getting there early as it soon fills up. Will advise anyone visiting caernarfon to pop in for some lovely food and wine.

My daughter and I ate here last weekend. She had the aribiata, and they were kind enough to tone down the spice for her. I at a vegetarian plate that made me extremely happy. The wine recommendation was excellent as well. Wonderful restaurant

We had a great meal with a lovely host. Very tasty food and a good atmosphere. I'm only giving it a 4 as I think it was slightly over priced.

Came here for the last night of our holiday with our 2 kids and baby. The staff were so friendly and made us feel really welcome. The food is beautiful and very reasonably priced. The best Italian food I have tasted in a long time! An absolute must-visit, thankyou for a gorgeous meal and a very warm welcome :)

If you're in or around Caernarfon and want to really treat your taste buds look no further than Osteria. A select menu, brilliantly cooked and served with passion. We love Italian food however, Osteria just took it to the next level. You may get away with just arriving at the restaurant but, I advise that you book in advance... Enjoy! you won't be disapointed...

Had a fabulous meal here at the Villa Marina. Lovely to find somewhere nice that offers a choice of gluten free on the menu, they even had gluten free desserts, but i was too full from the main meal.
