Salerno in Tewkesbury

Lovely family restaurant with an excellent menu choice. Friendly staff and well presented tasty food. We will return .

Good food. Reasonable prices. Friendly staff. The garlic bread starter is big enough to share. The dessert was delicious.

Only been once but most impressed with food, service and ambience. And no background music!! Looking for an Italian restaurant? It does not get much better than this.

Any Italian restaurant that lists Strega on the menu is automatically a 5/5. If you know, you know. 🤌 Anyway… really good wholesome food, with properly cooked al dente pasta clearly cooked properly in salted water, not the bland, floppy rubbish you get elsewhere. Excellent. Grazie mille!

Great food, a return definitely on the cards! Visited again and even better.

Very lovely dinner experience. We had a really good experience at Salerno’s. We had dinner on a Tuesday, despite being a weekday the restaurant was packed. The waiters were all very young but extremely professional and polite. We felt well looked after, they were quick to take our orders and bring out drinks. Food was excellent, huge portions and great variety. We didn’t have dessert because we were so full, but I’m sure it would have been just as lovely. I would highly recommend this place.

Cosy atmosphere and food was excellent at a good price plus friendly staff

On a visit to Tewksbury this restaurant caught our eye on TripAdvisor. Really loved the welcome from the young team who were so charming and friendly. It’s a shame my husband wasn’t feeling well as we weren’t able to finish what was a delicious meal. Highly recommend.

We ate here a week ago and it was very good Have booked again 👍

We visited this restaurant recommended by our friends Tony and Jennifer. I had the prawns for starters and a linguine seafood pasta. The food was fantastic, hot, and great. My partner had a salmon pasta again she said it was fabulous. We shared some pizza as a starter, too, which was again great. Would recommend a visit. Parking outside is a no-no! But there is parking over the road 100 yards up.

Good range of quality meals. Great service too

Excellent food and the usual friendly service

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian food, great service, would highly recommend and cant wait to return !

Booked a table here on a visit to tewkesbury, and glad i did as far as i can remember this was the best italian food ive had, and ive travelled over most of italy! Fully recommend

We ate here on a busy Saturday night. The food was superb, service was friendly and attentive and the restaurant is beautiful.

Booked last minute and I was surprised on a Saturday evening to get a table, we walked in when the restaurant first opened and it was nice to see the young boys who were going to be working that night, all sat down together enjoying some pasta. It’s nice to see a restaurant look after their own staff. The staff were very smart, extremely polite and are a credit to the restaurant. The food itself was great, we opted for the lemon sole and it was seasoned and cooked to perfection.

We had a fantastic meal while staying in Tewksbury. My risotto was perfect as was my husband’s seafood pasta and the cheesecake was delicious. The staff were also charming and attentive.

I thoroughly recommend this restaurant. Not to be missed.

First time eating there, the food was amazing and staff so attentive, I enjoyed the restaurant so much I went back the following day to try a different dish and again didn’t disappoint

Really lovely family run Italian restaurant. The service was so lovely and friendly and the food was great, authentic, fresh Italian food. They accommodated us on a busy evening without a booking and made us very welcome. All you can ask for in a local restaurant. Nice wine too and good value for money.

Brilliant Italian. Great food and service. Well worth a visit.

What great experience we had as a family at Salernos last week! Food was delicious We were served by 2 young waiters who were a credit to the place

Salerono is a beautiful restaurant run by Lupo who is an actual Italian with a passion for the best food and service, and it shows. The food was absolutely first class and the restaurant was full which is testament to the quality of food and service. What a fantastic atmosphere people were happy and laughing, truly amazing. Starters, mains, deserts (omg the mango topped Cheesecake is so light and fluffy), and the drinks quality exceptional (we had wine and cocktails). We were served mainly by Jack who was smiling, professional and efficient. There were many servers covering this buzzing restaurant, and the smiling kind owner Lupo had enough time to chat and share his story (we asked). Such a lovely experience, if you are visiting Tewkesbury, make this your dining choice, you won't regret it.

Hands down the best food I’ve ever tasted. Service was on point with lots of young smiling waiters who greet you upon entering. Will be visiting again .

We entered by chance. It is not a tourist place. And the truth is that the food was very good and very good service from the waiters.

Had a fab 3 course lunch here with friends. Food was all really tasty and well presented. The young chap who served us was very attentive, friendly and helpful. Popped in here on spec without checking any reviews, and was very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Will definitely recommend and re-visit.

Extraordinary. My first visit. The attentiveness of the team and the quality of the food. Extraordinary

Fantastic food and service. Came here as a family party of 12 and everyone agreed it was one of the best Italians they have had! Highly recommend and will be back again next year.

Fabulous food, comprehensive menu. Best sharing Antipasti we've ever had. Great atmospeher, very busy, lovely staff. Resonably priced wine. Can't fault and highly recommend. Just go you won't regret it but book this restaurant is very busy.

Really great Italian food and very helpful and attentive staff. If we lived nearer we would be here every week.

Excellent service, delicious food and very attentive waiters. Super little restaurant, a real asset to Tewkesbury

What a find. Authentic-tasting beautiful Italian food. Best we've had in a very long time. Even though it was a Monday night, the place was really busy but the staff were efficient and friendly and the food arrived in good time. Would not go past it if we find ourselves in Tewkesbury again.

Excellent meal, we had whitebait, mushrooms and the seabass with mussels and prawns. We will be back. Thank you to all the team for a. Lovely evening.

Good local restaurant. Reliable good food. Personally I'd prefer a few more vegetables with my main course, but that's me!

We'd been on a long journey and didn't want the bother of cooking. On a Monday evening, we were surprised how busy Salerno was. We're trying to reduce our carbs, so we were glad to find options we could eat, although we'd like to see more. The food was excellent.

The serving staff are a credit to the place.

Had dinner here with my wife, on a Thursday night. The food was excellent and so was the service. We eat here once or twice a year and never been disappointed, an excellent restaurant

Excellent food very good would recommend

Excellent service typical Italian menu, great decor. Lovely birthday suprise dessert which was excellent. Would have been a 10 only Let down for us by lack of information about any daily specials and no draught lager.

Not just great food, you rarely find a team of such polite, welcoming and hard working young men as we did when eating here. Everyone was so genuine, offering just the right amount of service. I had the very tasty Penne al Forno and my husband had the enormous and equally tasty calzone. We also had a delicious banoffee pie and an Irish coffee. The restaurant was busy but had a very pleasant atmosphere. It was our last night staying in Tewkesbury but we would not hesitate to book there again if we came to the town again. If we lived locally, we would be frequent customers! Highly recommended. Thanks to all the great staff.

The staff are charming and the food amazing! The atmosphere of the place is lovely and all ages were catered for. It was our second visit, as visitors to Tewksbury previously, and it was just as good as we remembered it. Look after this place Tewksbury - it is a little gem. Thank you all for a lovely evening. We will see you again!

I am very sorry to say I was disappointed with this restaurant. I ordered mussels as a starter which were priced at £11.95. I received 12 mussels, 3 of which were hollow, I of which was inedible and they were quite small. My daughter and a friend had Antipasti to share requesting gluten free bread £17.95. The platter arrived with no bread and when I asked where the bread was he told us they didn't have any. The lettuce was stale and see through. Their was a couple of slices of salami, chorizo and parma ham, 4 slices of cheese half an inch wide and no dressing. I am unable to recommend this restaurant as it is grossly overpriced and definitely not value for money.

Delicious authentic Italian food and friendly service, we would definitely recommend. We are only staying in Tewkesbury for one night and happened on this place, so glad we did!

Nice italian restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, banoffee pie was excellent

I organised a quick dinner for a big group of us ( about 20 people) before an event in the abbey. Despite plans to the contrary, we ended up all paying individually ( which must have been a nightmare for the staff!) and, bless them, they just went with it and kept smiling! Our meals all came out pretty much at the same time within 10-15 minutes of us arriving and everyone made complimentary noises! The portions were generous and the food was good.

Called in for lunch. Vegetarian options were excellent. The best risotto I have ever tasted. Service friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

Nice ambience, friendly staff made for pleasant evening. Chose the ricotta and mozzarella cannelloni which was delicious and a generous portion. Provided with take away box on request for the tirasimu. Unfortunately- disappointing as quite bland.

Excellent Food and great service. The lobster ravioli was divine and the monkfish spaghetti was superb. This was coupled with a high quality Italian wine. This restaurant is highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant we visit regularly and are never disappointed, highly recommend this restaurant.

Fish and meat perfectly cooked and well presented. The waiter is attentive and professional, my aunt and I really enjoyed the lunch. Bravi ragazzi!

Delicious food, friendly staff and Delicious cocktails

Food was lovely and staff are friendly. Only downside for me (which may not be the same for everyone) there wasn’t enough time between courses to rest for a minute before the next meal. Waiting staff didn’t check if food was ok upon receipt.

Friendly staff great food. Real enjoy it.

Very nice they will do takeaway if asked lasagna delicious best I've had. Rare gem owner is a nice guy always busy.

Today was absolutely wonderful! I set out to find a town near home with a strong sense of community, and Tewkesbury immediately captured my heart. Every person I encountered greeted me with warmth and smiles, but the highlight of my day was definitely my visit to @salernostewkesbury. I decided to grab a tiramisù to go, mindful of my little dog who feels uneasy in crowded spaces. Upon meeting the owner, I was instantly drawn to learn more about his Italian heritage. Despite the bustling atmosphere, he took the time to chat with me and graciously gifted me the most exquisite tiramisù I've ever tasted in the UK – a gesture that truly made my day unforgettable. In my 11 years in the UK, never have I experienced such genuine kindness and hospitality from an Italian establishment. It wasn't merely about the food; it was about the owner's genuine warmth, spontaneity, and honesty that left a lasting impression on me. This encounter served as a powerful reminder of the profound impact small acts of kindness can have in a world often overshadowed by grand gestures and systemic issues. I'm immensely grateful to the lovely owner of Salerno restaurant for restoring my faith in humanity and making me believe in a better world, where pure acts of kindness prevail over hidden agendas. Grazie di cuore! I can't wait to return, and I wish you continued success and happiness.

Beautiful little restaurant- perfect 👌

Perfect Italian restaurant only one small critical point was that there is no draught beer, just bottled - shame

Four of us visited here on 6 April. What a fabulous restaurant. Both the food and service were excellent. Some of the best Italian food we've had; a large, varied menu. We are going back at the end of May. Cant wait!

Good food and service. Really enjoyed our meal here

Went with my family of four. Very politely seated us (with no reservation). The food was fantastic, I would really recommend the rigatoni al forno, it was so good! The service was fantastic and I would really recommend this restaurant!

Busy and buzzing, extensive menu and specials menu. A delicious crab and lobster ravioli was served in a fantastic sauce and the sea bass dish was outstanding. Service excellent.

Delicious Lovely atmosphere Great variety home cooked lunch / dinner From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave Lupo and team are warm welcoming Lots of variety and a special menu which is changed often to keep it fresh

We had a family lunch today for our grandson who was celebrating his 18th birthday . Salerno made it special by bringing his dessert out on a huge plate with happy birthday written on it and a candle . Turned the lights down low and got the whole restaurant singing happy birthday to him . They did this without us asking which was such a lovely thin to do . Our food was , as always excellent . The staff were polite , very knowledgeable, especially about the wine , and very efficient doing their job. Salerno is local to us and a firm favourite restaurant for our family . Thank you for making our grandsons day so special . Look forward to our next visit .

We arrived as a large group with very little notice, enquiring as to whether they could accommodate us. It was a busy Friday evening, but we were greeted so amazingly, and despite the fact that we were clearly going to provide some challenges, they accommodated us perfectly. Service and food were stunning, which isn’t always my experience with a larger group. The starters were superb and the main courses, perfect. The service was really efficient and friendly all the way through and I’ll definitely be returning. The owner is an absolute gentleman and the staff extremely professional. Thank you to all of you for making our evening, such an amazing success.

We had really lovely meal here, the seafood linguine were delicious and generous portion too, plenty of mussels and prawns. We were too dull to have a dessert but will come back for the tiramisu! Thank you

The staff are really good and very helpful

The mains (we had 2 different risottos) were really lovely. Service was good. Would definitely recommend. Toilets a bit chilly and tatty. (Wobbly seat and no loo roll)

The best garlic bread i have ever had, my meal was delicious and the young staff members were excellent, very enjoyable experience, Many thanks to all

Just about ok, the food is very average

Very nice restaurant serving lovely food in good time, enjoyed in pleasant surroundings. Sadly, it has missed out on 5 stars due to an orange juice with lemonade being overpriced at £6.20. The lemonade was served separately in a small bottle, and although this was mentioned when paying, there was no comment or apology made.

We met up with friends for lunch at Salernos on a Sunday in February, the place was quiet at this time of year, but it had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted pleasantly, seated and asked whether we wanted drinks whilst we awaited the other members of our party. The service from very professional young waiter was friendly, efficient and well timed. The food was excellent, we all had starters and main courses and everyone enjoyed their meal. I felt the pricing was good value for generous portions of well cooked, well seasoned and well presented food. I would be very happy to eat there again and highly recommend the place and particularly the Tagliatelle Pescatore - all in all a really good experience!

Terrific puddings, and my best ever coffee( sambuca added)!

Was disappointed that a 10% service charge was added. The menu stated that a service charge would be added for tables of 6+, but there were only 4 of us. What was the service charge for? Should not apply an automatic service charge, it should be up to the customer whether they want to leave a tip or not. It's not like there was anything particularly special about the service.

Just wonderful evening, and food 💜👍👏👌

We came here one evening between Christmas and New Year for the celebration meal we should have had on Christmas Day (but which was inedible - thanks Colwall Park Hotel https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g3955087-d193508-r931053761-Colwall_Park_Hotel_Bar_Restaurant-Colwall_Great_Malvern_Malvern_Hills_Worcesters.html?m=19905). Although we had to wait a short while for our table, the staff acknowledged us immediately, couldn't have been more accommodating, and insisted we had a drink on them. The food itself was yummy. The scallops and calamari were well cooked and the lasagne was hearty and wholesome and just like mamma used to make. (Actually, my mother was a functioning alcoholic from Bridgend with a wooden leg and an irrational and deep-seated loathing of "foreign" foods, but you get the idea). What impressed me most, though, was the attentiveness of the waiters: they were immediately on hand without hovering. The restaurant was full all night, which gave it a lovely buzz. Given the food and service we experienced, this place deserves to be popular.

Visited for my birthday trip away, service started off good, seated quickly and food arrived in good time which was was really nice, unfortunately we then waited quite a while to be asked if we wanted any desserts, I decided on a Creme Brulee, and my husband was going to have another drink, however we couldn't get the attention of any of the waiters & no.one came over to take the order, they seemed to pay more attention to the larger table next to us, asking if their meal was OK, which we never got. We decided in the end to go to to the bar to pay, and was given an extra 10% charge on the bill, which we didn't think was ok as we'd been waiting for ages & then not received. Went to another pub for the drink we didn't get. Lovely food but just let down at the end which was a shame.

Excellent from start to finish. The restaurant felt cosy and welcoming. The staff are attentive, friendly and polite. Our food was so tasty, one of the best meals we have had in a long time.

Lovely food and reasonably priced

An incredible evening enjoying really tasty food and being served by a group of really professional waiters! This is definitely a restaurant I will be looking to book again!

Thanks Lupo and staff. Once again a superb fillet steak dinner. Thanks for the present. Will see you again next week. Garry and Fiona.

Food was great, lovely atmosphere and staff very polite and attentive. Highly recommended. Good value for money

one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to.

Brilliant. Great service, hospitality and excellent food. Will be going again.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. Both times we have been we turned up without a reservation on a busy night and they still managed to make space for us. All of the staff are amazing and the food is delicious!

What a find. We had one of the best Italian meals in or outside of Italy. Fresh produce, great tastes and a suburb caprese salad ( where so they get such great tasting tomatoes in November!). We had the housers and white which was very drinkable.. warm welkom and swift service. 2/3rds full on a Tuesday in November says it all.

Just popped in for food on way home, as usual the most friendly staff possible.

Absolutely wonderful all round 👏🏼Highly recommend. Fab vibe, friendly, personable staff and excellent customer service after a small issue was resolved in a timely and helpful manner. Thank you! I’ll be back and will be recommending Salerno to all my friends and family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have been coming to this authentic Italian restaurant for over 10 years and always have a perfect experience. The gorgeous food, Lupo and his incredible team and the overall atmosphere brings us back again and again.

Second time is rarely the same BUT our return visit was just as good. Amazing staff, service and food- WOW! We will be back again a great night and all requests were dealt with.

Absolutely favorite place in Tewksbury, food as A1, just perfect.

Lovely food Lovely atmosphere, great staff. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We visited this Italian restaurant in Tewkesbury and was very happy - the food, service and ambience was exceptional, we all agreed this was one of the best Italians we had ever been to. Please see photos attached you will not be disappointed. Well recommended!

Once again a perfectly prepared fillet steak. I think we are getting addicted to this place. Definitely be back next week

Great food on what was a cold rainy day

Exceptional food here. Service fantastic ,ambience great. Best 'Languini de mer' I've EVER eaten. Would be tempted to travel an hour distance from my home to eat here again . Staff were absolutly lovely 😍

Really nice, traditional Italian. The menu is varied and reasonably priced. The whitebait starter is fantastic and the pizzas looked incredible. We were surprised how busy it was for a weekday night which just shows how popular it is.

Booked for a meal with family to celebrate being together (we all live in different parts of the country) and my brother's birthday. From the moment we arrived the staff were so welcoming, helpful and patient with our rather lively group! Everyone really enjoyed the superb food, one brother commented it was the best risotto he'd ever had! Made a special desert with candle for a birthday sing-along. All round a fantastic evening - thank you.

Fantastic service and amazing food. Would recommend to anyone looking to eat in Tewkesbury.

Once again fillet steak heaven.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Great for a christmas meal
