Teresa Lambarelli's in Chesterfield

Where to begin....This Italian restaurant is the BEST in England. I have eaten in Italian establishments all over the world, and this (tied with another in Glasgow) are the top places outside Italy that I have eaten at and THOROUGHLY enjoy my dining experience from A-Z. The Spaghetti Carbonara was FLAWLESS and EXPERTLY prepared. Very few can do it right, but Teresa has the gift of exceptional skilled cooking. i was amazed to meet her and discovering it was HER in the kitchen preparing all of the dishes, and her assistant cook was doing the pizzas. The waitresses were phenomenal. Professional, genuine, sociable, and just pleasant to interact with. I will definitely return when I return to England for a visit. Thank you for a most memorable culinary experience. May God Bless you with continued success.

I have tried to order for collection 3 times now - twice on fridays and one saturday and every time I try they tell me they are too busy. Shouldn't offer a take away service if you can't provide it. Very very disappointing to be told no every time I have tried. Such a shame. Won't be trying again. 3rd time unlucky. Extremely disappointed as my circumstances dictate that I can't come in and dine on the premises.

Amazing food and all the staff were lovely. Will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing place with nice atmosphere, lovely service and delicious menu.

Great food, my salad was delicious and the lasagna was great. Also the waitress was really kind. I came because of the reviews and it was perfect. Free parking on the street

Food was much improved from Christmas menu when I suspect they were very stretched. Pizza was very good and very large so took 1/3 home. Service still not fabulous I’m afraid, getting drinks order wrong 3 times.

A mixed experience. The service was lovely and attentive, the salmon pasta dish was delicious. However, we had a selection of cannoli to take home and these tasted disappointingly stale. We've also recently had a takeaway calzone which was very poor. I'd go again as the pasta meals are delicious, the ambience is pleasant and the service is good. Also, if a meal isn't up to par this can be rectified.

Lovely place, great staff, great food. Oh yeah, the coffee is very good!

Definitely the best pizza's in Chesterfield. All the food is excellent. Really friendly staff. Please visit this family run restaurant you won't regret it.

Best Italian restaurant in Chesterfield. Staff are fantastic. Teresa is lovely and very welcoming and is normally there when we've been in. We've eaten for all 3 meals, breakfast, lunch and evening meal, all food has been outstanding. Evening meal we was seated upstairs in the restaurant which is absolutely beautiful. Really does feel like you're in a little bespoke Italian restaurant - very classy. Definitely didn't feel out of place dressing up to go. I love this place that much I had my baby shower here, again, staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. My advice would be to book as there has been a couple of times we've just popped in (once for breakfast and once for lunch) and unfortunately couldn't get seated but downstairs they have a cafe bit which is open for take out food so we've ordered and took food out. Pricing is very reasonable for all meals. Portions are very good. Definitely recommend. A******

Food was lovely most of the staff where helpful and friendly others not ao

My bruschetta and freshly cooked pizza were very tasty..... Thank you.

Great food at great prices. Well worth a visit. Just had lunch, excellent as always 👌 1/12/23. Fantastico!

Very good food and good prices amazing friendly staff highly recommend to anyone who is after some Italian food or even just a coffee

The best Spaghetti Carbonara I've ever eaten! Expect me there every weekend from now on!!

Superb authentic Italian food Great staff a brilliant night out could not fault any bit of it

Just love this place, great atmosphere, lovely staff, foods outstanding, must visit more often. An absolute jewel in Chesterfield’s crown.

Been here a few times now especially during the day, always superb. Went on a Friday night and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was lovely, the food excellent and the staff very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.

A busy kitchen meant the service was slow but the food was delicious.

We had a party of 6 last night. They were understaffed BUT the food and service was fantastic. All food came out together & hot. It was delicious. The staff were apologetic about the situation and were very attentive.. hands down, some of the best Italian food we've all eaten in a very long time. We'll done guys... it was an absolute pleasure and we will be back!

Lovely place with great service and food. Good value for money. The owner and staff can't do enough for you.

Love it here. Great food & wine. Also staff are wonderful. 5*

8 ladies from a local choir on their monthly lunch date. A favourite eatery. We all enjoyed our meal. Well cooked and served. Freshly made. We'll be coming here again.

As always lovely wine, lovely people, I don't do pizza, but my husband and friend had it and they say lovely as always, we cannot wait to go back!!!

Pizza was fine but the service was shocking. Ordered online to collect and got there to be told they'd not even started making it because their system said pick up was later that evening and mine said ASAP. Showed this to the young person on reception and he was rude with no offer of a drink, money off or any kind of solution. Went away and came back later to find they'd burnt one of the pizzas, and told the restaurant was full on a Friday night and they were struggling to meet demand... if you can't keep up with take out and a restaurant don't do both. To be then offered the burnt pizza as way of apology rather than some money off which at this point was over an hour was rude and the young person just told me I could 'take it or leave it' when offered with this as well as the other pizzas. Disappointing.

Wonderful takeaway pizza delicious. Great deli too and very reasonable prices

Very good service great staff good food fast service 😀 👌 👍 😉 👏

Fantastic family owned Italian cafe/restaurant. Incredibly authentic and fresh.

Worst restaurant experience I have experienced in Chesterfield..I cannot comment on the food as it never turned up. Owner went off on one and told us if we wanted fast food we should have gone to Mcdonald's..hang on..is it reasonable to wait an hour for starters..with little or no communication from staff..owner actually assaulted one of us.Waiter threatened that he would call the police if we didn't leave.Owner accepted no responsibility for her actions.

Very poor service tonight. After chasing our starters after 40 and then around 50 minutes later, we were bizarrely told our order hadn't actually been placed by the waiter!

Great, tasty, freshly made food. To eat in or take away. Good for coffee and a catch up. Or a fantastic breakfast, brunch or lunch. Lovely staff and ambience, whether downstairs or up. Fabulous garden terrace for warm days and evenings.

Service was good food was brilliant very friendly atmosphere

A lovely restaurant, great atmosphere.

Always good food, nice people and a relaxed place to be.

Fantastic, freshly cooked food...

A little Chesterfield goldmine! Lovely food, well-prepared and served with a Smile at very reasonable prices! Wonderful!

We called in to the deli, to stock up on Italian food.... Always a pleasure to shop here....plenty of help, plenty of conversation and plenty of yummy food to buy. Love it.

Outstanding and authentic Italian cuisine, made with passion and flair by Teresa who conjures up The best Italian food outside of Italy!

Fabulous, tasty, fresh honemade Pizza's, they went down a treat... great service too, thank you to you and your staff... 🌹xx

Fairly recently expanded this was already a pre-COVID favourite. Finding the pasta bar & coffee shop had expanded to provided a COVID safe experience without affecting the cosy intimate atmosphere was such a boost. Not just that but Theresa & the team have found room for her Dad's Italian deli. The team is working hard to deliver their usually fantastic freshly home-cooked piece of italian liveliness by offering both click & collect (most days) and takeaway delivery service (Fri & Sat nights). Tonight we had a pizza & calzone pizza with fries - arrived hot & lip smacking good . So good I forgot to take pics. Cannot recommend enough & hope folk support local businesses like this.

Excellent food, great service and my lad loves the pizzas. They're proper not dry and full of fake stuff😋😋

Delicious food 😋 I had salmon and prawn pasta which I don't usually eat when I'm out. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My daughter said it was the best restaurant ever.

Well what a great meal me and my partner had tonight food was great loads of flavour. A hidden gem. Will definitely be back. Thanks. See you soon.

I often call into Teresa's during the week, for lunch, coffee, evening meal or a takeaway. The food is excellent all homemade and tastes amazing. During the present climate Teresa as all the safety measures in place, so you can not only enjoy a lovely meal but feel safe in the environment your eating in. Not to mention you can also pick up one of her amazing sauces to take away. As well as this her father's Mick Deli is open to buy cheese, meat pasta etc. So call in too see Teresa, and her amazing staff, Mattio, Camilla, Jade, Paul Amelia you wont be disappointed

Best lasagne . Friendly and polite service. Relaxing atmosphere. Wonderful desserts. Highly recommend

Wonderful food, great service. Definitely a good choice for our first meal out since lockdown was introduced.

Visited Teresa's for a late lunch, amazing food. Great friendly service, nothing is too much trouble, home from home, love it.

Visited the restaurant as a group of 8. Lovely welcoming atmosphere, staff professional and friendly. All meals cooked to perfection , extremely tasty and good portion sizes. Enjoyed by all.

We booked this restaurant at the last minute and so glad we did. Was a little worried that pasta and pizza would be a little boring but we had a nice surprise when we saw the variety on the menu. Pasta dishes that included chicken or seafood , I had seafood linguine and the other half had lasagne ... both absolutely delicious ! Bar available with drinks including Peroni, gin and wine . Didn’t have a sweet but did have a coffee, cappuccino was delicious! Great ambiance , relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff, might be a regular visitor to this place . Recommended restaurant.

A lovely lunch. Great food and super friendly service. Perfect! I will definitely be returning.

Very friendly staff and lovely coffees, feels like home

Lovely little italian,great service and overall lovely food !

Lovely food. Great service. Recommended.

Absolutely loved our meal tonight will definitely return.

Lunch with friend. As always, a great authentic Italian meal and nice Prosecco. I couldn't resist my favourite Godfather pasta with a slice of garlic bread after an appetizer of olives, breads and delicious dipping sauces made by Teresa Labarelli. Reasonable prices, friendly, inclusive atmosphere and lovely decor on the first floor. Recommend!

Only open on a Saturday evening at the moment but well worth a visit. Unusual pasta sauces - buffalo ragu(!?) - along with a range of starters and desserts, all beautifully presented, make for an enjoyable evening.

Have now had two splendid evenings at Teresa's restaurant - really helpful staff, nothing too much trouble and great food!

Amazing Pizza amd great service
