Pizzorante in Monmouthshire

Best pizza in town, tasty pasta and you *have* to try the zucchini fritti!

Great atmosphere. Really attentive staff and the food. Oh my gad the food. Genuinely fantastic. Real carbonara. A pistachio tiramisu that was incredible the risotto was very special. Real authentic Italian cuisine.

A birthday treat for a great friend and we couldn’t ask for anything more! Great service and fantastic food - Would highly recommend the zucchini starter and the beautiful rhubarb pannacotta 😋 We received service with a smile and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly staff. Will definitely visit again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An evening of 5 lady friends , most of pensionable age, who were enjoying the very good food served had it all spoiled by an overzealous waitress who as soon as our dessert spoons dropped to the table , commanded us to leave , standing with the bill and credit card handset , and not moving .I looked surprised and commented that are we not allowed coffee and we are paying cash not card … reply was that the person who had booked the table was told we only had two hours to dine … None of us dining had been told and we had not been reminded on entering the restaurant . I had to ask her to leave the table side whilst we all looked at the bill , divided by 5 to get a cash figure per head …. I felt the whole restaurant watching us …. A very uncomfortable experience . To add insult to injury , we had over all not only spent dining inside at the table but also had ordered 23 pizzas for take away . A lot had been spent that evening and we left feeling quite upset , not because of the food but because of the lack of understanding by staff what the word “ hospitality “ actually means .

Excellent service as always, lovely atmosphere made a brilliant dinner for my brother's birthday with family. Highly recommend the pizzas; They look big, but they always seem to be just the right amount! Also tastes amazing and you can see them make the food in the kitchen!

It was a last minute decision for us to go to Pizzaronte this evening but we are so pleased that we did. The woman serving us was lovely and very helpful when we were discussing vegan options. The food was very tasty, as can be seen from the pictures, and the crispy courgetti was a fun and moreish side. Our dog was welcome too which is always a bonus!

The food and service were excellent as usual 👌

I went in as a solo diner and was made to feel really welcome. The food was delicious and they were really accommodating with my dairy intolerance. It was incredibly reasonably priced too. Highly recommended!

Really great pizzeria. My son said his pizza was a "10/10 cheese pull"! In other words, lots of cheese and gooey! Nice ambience and great staff. Good selection of wines too. Highly recommended if you are in Abergavenny.

Highly recommended this amazing restaurant. Incredible food and service. Pizza was absolutely delicious as was my husband’s pasta dish.

Unbelievably good service! We were a large and late (and perhaps slightly loud) group, but they responded with great humour. Food was very good and a great night was had!

Fabulous meal. We had planned to eat elsewhere but the place was not serving food. I had previously dismissed this place as it looked very small outside. I am also not keen on eating in Italian restaurants as the food is simple and I think I could cook this at home. When I walked past I remembered how many people had recommended so after checking the menu decided to try it. We walked in and it looked empty. The lady looked when we said we hadn’t reserved but did give us seats, once we sat down the place seemed to all of a sudden fill and you could see it was fully booked which I realised was unusual on a Tuesday evening! The staff were friendly with their service and whilst starters and deserts were prompted I did not feel pressurised. We both had risotto and they were definitely not simple meals I could make at home. Tasted amazing and obviously freshly made as you can see the kitchen from the dinning room. The smell of the food was amazing and the pizzas looked fab. There was plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic choices. It was noisy and I might wear my ear plugs next time as I find lots of people talking overwhelming but it had a brilliant and vibrant atmosphere. I would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

Food...stunning. Service ....feel a bit like a hitchhiker trying to flag someone down...hello?.I'm just trying to spend more money here and order more wine? Service was fine to start with but waitresses weren't interested how your food was or if you wanted any more drinks .

Lovely little place with great friendly staff and good food, highly recommended.

UPDATE: Had dinner here again while visiting. Service was certainly more friendly than our previous visit and the food was delicious and very well cooked. It was packed so definitely need to book. Glad we tried it again. Visited here while staying with friends in the area. The Food was excellent, good selection of options on the menu and 'specials ' board, portions were huge - lasagna could easily feed 2 people and pizzas were lovely. The restaurant itself was light and airy with an open kitchen to one end. However the service sadly let this place down. It was a quiet night, but our server was rather abrupt and service was generally cool . For this reason, although we regularly visit the area, I think we would prefer to eat where we are made more welcome.

Friendly staff, excellent food in a relaxed setting. There were some interesting specials alongside more regular fare and we enjoyed our visit very much.

Friendly intimate restaurant, large portions and fair pricing.

Great Italian tucked away in Abergavenny. Risotto was so delicious and authentic thin based pizza. Superb.

We happened upon this lovely family run Italian run restaurant by chance. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. The prices are reasonable for the hand cooked dishes. It’s obviously very popular by how quickly it became full of patrons!! I’d definitely recommend the restaurant! Delicious.

Great food at a good price and generous portion sizes.

As I am not a lover of Italian food, they accommodated my taste buds. We were a party of 10.

Outstanding restaurant. Superb pizzas, but be sure to look at the Specials board too. Such a lovely, rustic atmosphere.

Excellent Italian food. We both had pizza (funghi and gorgonzola) preceded by fried rice balls and a caprino, and the food was absolutely excellent. Didn't take an excessive time to arrive either, and the service was superb. Definitely recommended.

What a lovely experience. The lady on front of house couldn't of worked harder if she tried. Service was brilliant. The food well.. if you've not tried it you've seriously missed out. Lasagne perfect all 3 pizzas of different variety perfect. The ravioli my nan said was incredible. Lovely vibe and a brilliant team. Thank you again.

A firm favorite which never disappoints . Really good food freshly prepared . Welcoming and friendly environment and excellent service. Recommended.

Second visit to this restaurant, which did not disappoint. We started with the deep fried seafood, which was tasty and beautifully cooked. We also had the thinly sliced pork which was nice but a bit bland. My main was the penne pasta with chicken livers which was delicious and full of flavour. My companion had the tagliatelle bolognese which he described as very tasty. The staff here are friendly, the service is very good and the prices are reasonable. The quality of the food and the ambience are not reflected in the outside of the premises. I am sure many people pass this place by thinking it is just a basic pizza restaurant, when it is actually much more.

Very nice food / experience. Can easily recommend but I would suggest booking. Parking after 6pm is free close by. There again this evening and food is as delicious as ever and great service.

Best Italian in Abergavenny. Food always amazing, staff are amazing too. The resteraunt is cozy and always warm in the winter. Lovely atmosphere. My husband thinks the spag bol is the best he’s ever had and the garlic bread stack is so tasty. Great value for money for the quality of the food and love the little carafes of wine. Will keep on coming back.

Delicious food, great service and no need for unnecessary frills. Both had pasta dishes which were extremely tasty and not just the standard options expected….and reasonably priced. White wine matched perfectly and the server was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. First time but will be going back again soon.

Ninth visit this year and everyone has been excellent. Great food, great service. We've tried to be unfaithful and suffered two really poor meals at other Italians in town.

Charming service, great food, we had the panelle, penne pesto and Gorgonzola pizza, and we will definitely recommend and will return

Great food as always and lovely staff.

Great authentic Italian restaurant food was great and service second to none would highly recommend

An unassuming place with good food and friendly staff. I enjoyed my starter of goats cheese with pine nuts and Main of spaghetti aglio e olio. Hubby enjoyed his starter and main too

Returning customers you really can’t fault Pizzorante. Small and family run (also a bit hidden away) the pizza’s and pasta dishes are spot on. Specials always look good but when you can get pizza/pasta dishes so good you don’t need to go off menu

Been here multiple times and the food/service is always impeccable

Real italian pizza and pasta in the heart of abergavenny. Well worth a visit.

We came for a friend's birthday, the food was lovely and the staff were friendly. Would definitely go back .

We stumbled across this hidden gem. So unassuming but so glad we gave it a chance. An absolute gem, staff were so accommodating despite them being fully booked. The service and food was absolutely fantastic. We had to have dessert even though we were stuffed from our mains, we didn’t have any starters but they looked and smelled delicious. Would 100% come back if we were in the area again.

An absolute brilliant family owned and run restaurant, serving the best Italian food for miles around. Forget the others and the unfriendly ordinary chains - go to Pizzorante. You will not be disappointed. Service, atmosphere and food all first class.

A party of ten. Service was excellent. The food as always was really good.Nothing was too much trouble for staff, Another great night out at Abergavennys best pizzeria restaurant,!

Great evening treat with our two boys. Lovely pizzas and super friendly staff. Kids loved it. Especially being taken to see where the pizzas are made. Thanks for a lovely evening and meal!

What an amazing find! Such friendly,helpful staff who helped get my friend,a wheelchair user, to our table. Delicious food from the garlic bread starter,seafood risotto,Gorgonzola pizza & the “best steak” my brother had eaten in a long time. Not to forget the Rum & raisin ice cream with spiced rum! The only downside is that we didn’t find it at the start of our holiday so we could go again!

Racist staff who turned us away for a table, after we spoke with an English accent. Staff were friendly until we spoke and they stated that there were no tables available all evening, even though half of the tables were empty and it was after peak times. Safe to say that we are glad that we didn't spend any money here. We wouldn't normally post a bad review, but we wanted to warn other customers.

Love this restaurant. It just never lets us down. Another birthday and another lovely meal. Having walked in the Brecon Beacons all day they didn't bat an eyelid at our walking gear. Maybe they knew that we'd be hungry 😁. Thank you for taking care of us x

Excelent service and food. Decent prices. Highly recommended.

Stopped in after a very rainy walk and it was exactly what we needed. Lovely food, wine and atmosphere. Shame we don't live nearby we would come again

Always come here when we have a night off together and want to eat out. Amazing food and always amazing service!

Fantastic night. Staff are so helpful, atmosphere buzzing. Food always amazing. Love this place!

Great service and fantastic pizzas. Perhaps the best in the area.

Really excellent food. A real gem of a restaurant.

Had a pizza there and was by far the worst I've ever had it was 10 quid for something that should be free. The pasta looked alright but was too expensive

Love the food. Was amazing 👏 been 1st time with my family for Valentines Day 💝. Very friendly and family atmosphere.

Casual friendly atmosphere. Excellent quality fresh cooked Italian food. Specials board made choosing a main meal very difficult but was delicious when I finally made up my mind!

A great family night out. Great food, excellent service.

Experienced a lovely evening at Pizzorante. Igino is always pleasant, smiling and checks that all is okay with your meal. We had a wonderful lasagne which really was very delicious and the incredible chunky chips with garlic bread. Perfect 👍

Great little Italian, authentic food. No cream sauce with everything...

Lovely authentic italian. Pizza was massive and lovely

Food good but not amazing. .Regardless, I am a return visitor.

Top top food as always. Been many times and will go many more.

Lovely use of an old building. Attentive staff. I requested a seafood pizza and was presented with one of the best piazzas I have ever had.

It was nice, but I wasn't blown away by the food. Service was good though.

Been a regular user of this little gem of a restaurant since day 1. Food is always excellent , service impeccable and the best pizzas for miles around.

Have to say, blown away by the place. Just a great atmosphere and food. Family run and you can tell. Lovely.

A popular, friendly Italian restaurant with a good choice of pasta, pizza and special dishes. The service was efficient and our large party enjoyed our meals. The only slight issue was that the temperature was very high in the restaurant due to the lack of air conditioning.

Best Italian restaurant in Abergavenny

Great family run Italian restaurant. ways welcome and friendly. Best pizza and pasta in Abergavenny.

Fabulous friendly welcome, food was amazing. Mixed sea food starter, calamari, prawns and whitebait, delicious. Pizzas made with fresh home made dough, made infront of your eyes, best pizzas we've had, and you can add options, fresh chillies for me. Tiramisu for pud, I know we shouldn't but who could resist, then espresso to finish. Go on treat yourselves, this is a gem of a place, truly authentic.

Stumbled on this gem of a restaurant when looking for Gaff (future visit planned), and what a find it is. Fabulous authentic Italian homemade food, so many delicious choices. Will definitely revisit. I always guage the credentials of a great restaurant on the calamari, it has to be prepped correctly (for me no elastic, if you've eaten calamari and experienced this you'll know exactly what I mean) the calamari here melted like butter and the prawns were absolutely amazing. The food is worthy of the 5 star rating as are the friendly family that run it. If you want a real treat where all the family can find something delicious to eat and drink, look no further.

Well I'm not to keen on italian food. There so same same. This place absolutely restored my faith in Italian food. Absolutely delightful

Recommended this place by friends. Had a excellent meal and service. Friendly and homemade food, it's fantastic. Definitely coming back again and would recommend to friends. Returned after covid lockdown, again excellent meal and great service. Well done.

Tasty pizza. Friendly service. Dealt well with our group of 16. A good evening out.

Lovely little place, service was brilliant. The variety of foods was interesting, and I would 100% come back again.

The service was very good with friendly staff, but the pizzas are either per-made or bought in frozen, and no better than a takeaway - no crust and not fresh. Disappointing.

Awesome food and great service. Without a doubt the best pizza in town. If you like a proper Italian style pizza 🍕 this is the place.

Outstanding meal very very tasty.Our table was served by a very very nice young lady .Really enjoyed our afternoon X Highly recommended X

Nice food but freezing cold in the restaurant

Visited this family-run restaurant on Saturday, the food and service was excellent, very good value for money , nothing is too much trouble for them. Highly recommend 👌

.... unfortunatly they have one peppermill only for the whole restaurant and don't leave it at the table

Lovely atmosphere and great Italian cooking. Highly recommended.

Tasty food. Welcoming atmosphere. Very nice!

Fantastic restaurant with great customer service, friendly staff and the food was excellent

Got to be my favourite Italian restaurant in the area, also their GF Pizza bases are the best around, along with a great Vegan Cheese. On top of that, such a nice atmosphere, a credit to all involved, looking forward to going again very soon.

WENT THERE ON WED 1stDEC FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY FAB AND STAFF VERY VERY HELPFULL WILL DEFINATLY BE GOING THERE AGAIN BEFORE XMAS IF POSS

We had a lovely seafood starter and a Porchetta starter. A pizza each. Great food, friendly staff. Good service.

Very special Resteraunt, very good food, polite staff 😋😋😋

Lovely atmosphere, great service, delicious food & wine, plus good value. Will be back when we can!

Best takeaway pizza in the area

Had lunch here today absolutely fantastic the best pizza i have had outside of Italy and i worked there for 5 years . Highly recommended.

Nice family run pizza place near the market in Abergavenny. The starters were excellent, we had the fried courgette and the seafood platter. The pizzas were nice but didn't blow my mind unfortunately. We also chose the frangelico semifredo for pudding which we weren't crazy about which is a Shame because we love frangelico! Everything is clearly homemade though and you can see it being made in front of you due to the open kitchen which is lovely. Overall I don't think I would come back but I would recommend to anyone who wants an authentic home cooked meal with friendly service!

Staff were wonderful with my grandchildren and the food was excellent.

Superb, absolutely superb with a little toddler.

Chose this location for dinner based on the reviews and it was 100% worth it. We were just able to get in without a reservations (10 mins later and we would have missed out) . A lovely family run restaurant where both the food and service were great. An open kitchen allows you to see the team at work in the kitchen knocking out pizzas and pasta dishes left, right and centre. Very well priced, too!

Favourite restaurant in Abergavenny! Would recommend!

Fab food relaxed atmosphere great friendly service,, its been a regular for us since it opened 😊🍾🥂

Stunning authentic Italian food, friendly staff, great value too. The ravioli di zucca, with freshly prepared pasta and brown butter & sage is amazing.

Proper Italian restaurant with great food and ambiance

Fantastic authentic Italian food as always. Great staff, really friendly. A hidden gem

Thank you for an excellent lunch today. Especially the fish stew.

Great authentic Italian food. Had a pizza and some of the ravioli, both were excellent. The kitchen is also open to the main restaurant area so you can see all the food being prepared which is very entertaining. Price is very reasonable! Clean bathroom and fast service.
