The Italian Kitchen in Sheffield

Food was nice, went with 8 other friends to eat and celebrate one of their birthdays. Ask for the bill, we get a handwritten bill and each one pays what they've consumed. We were leaving when the waiter comes in and says that we're £80 down. We ask for the bill again, add everything up ourselves and surprise, they hadn't added it up properly themselves. The thing that buggered us was that the waitress wasn't too apologetic and was saying that they weren't accusing us of not paying consciously... maybe it's a normal practice to overcharge 10 quid per person as parties will normally split the bill. Either way, it's a shame, nice food but not coming back to it.

A lovely restaurant. Easy to find and park, great communication beforehand, delicious food from a specific vegan menu, lovely staff. Will definitely be returning.

Great food, well cooked, and good portions.

We tend to come here for special occasions and it always is a special occasion! We actually prefer to go at lunchtime when it is fairly quiet and we get more personal service although service has been good even on a busy Saturday night. We like to relax and started with a glass of very good Prosecco while studying the menu (as usual served with a raspberry floating in it which is really nice). We shared a starter of crispy calamari which as always was the best we have had anywhere, tender and crisp. My partner decided to try out the filet steak and although it was good my roast lamb was definitely better. The lamb is usually served with mash but I prefer the rosemary and garlic potatoes and I wasn't disappointed. We had a good bottle of red wine to go with that. fortunately we had room for a dessert, I had the tiramisu while my partner had the raspberry semi freddo which is always very special. Finishing with espresso and complementary limoncello we were well satisfied. Now we can't wait for the next special occasion!

Great afternoon the food and service was fabulous we all enjoyed it throughly, fantastic fresh cooked food _ thank you we will definitely be back !

Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was lovely and even though my daughter ordered the wrong dish they changed it without problems and kept checking that everything was still okay. Good service and nice atmosphere, would definitely recommend it and happily try more of their dishes.

We were in Sheffield for the weekend and had a lovely night here. It's a nice, cosy informal atmosphere and the food was outstanding with generous portions and the staff were lovely. We shared some garlic bread and olives while waiting for our main courses. I had fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection, and my wife had a gorgeous chicken risotto. We were so full we couldn't try out the desserts, much to our dismay. I would highly recommend.

5 stars every time - The Italian Kitchen is my favourite Italian restaurant! The quality of both the food, and the service is always incredible. Always keen to check the specials menu too as they have some amazing dishes on 😊

The food was amazing and the service was brilliant. I had tomato pasta with pieces of steak. It was so lovely and would 100% reccomend. Mum mum had calzone which looked brilliant and tastes even better. The service was so good, the waitress who looked after us - Daisy - made our evening so lovely and ensured we were always happy and had everything we needed. Would 100% come again!!!

Had a lovely meal - again at Italian Kitchen. A great venue,friendly staff great atmosphere and first class food. A cracking little restaurant - one of our favourites.

We dropped in on a Thursday evening and were welcomed into a friendly clean restaurant. I had a Calzone and can openly state it was one of the best if not the best I have eaten. It was well cooked and stuffed with ingredients and was served with a bolognese sauce I can truly recommend visiting. My wife had a vegetarian pasta disn=h which she was impressed with we will definitely be coming back.

Came in last night, great service and food. Will be back again soon!

My daughter and her two sisters went to this premises on the hope of applying for s job, as she is starting University in September. The assistant at the premises was very rude in her communication with my daughter. I'm not sure whether it was due to being approached by three black girls or something else, but she needs to trained in dealing with prospective employees. I wouldn't recommend anyone working with such staff. My daughters were shocked by her attitude. Hope the management see this review and deal with it and that its not the general attitude of all the staff!

Chef Simon made something bespoke that wasn’t on the menu today! Thank you so much. Always amazing food we love this Italian . Great drink choices too.

Not visited here before and was not disappointed. Food was excellent large portions and delicious.

Went for a baby shower food was good service was great there was around 18 of us and everyone got there good served around same time.pleasant place for food.

Came here for 2 Aperol spritz for £12. Only after the server brought the drinks did she mention that it’s cash only. We said about how drawing £12 cash out is awkward, we don’t want cash let alone £8. All she replied was with ‘we have change’. Very unhelpful that we were informed of it being cash only after we received the drinks. No wonder this place is empty save you money and don’t come here.

The food here is always amazing. The staff are friendly and welcoming and nothing is too much bother. Can recommend the specials they are always amazing. And the pizzas are just on point

Visited today and sat outside with our drinks. Great staff and customer service ! Lovely for a quick stop after work.

Had a lovely late lunch with the mother in law, sat in the sun. We had Parma ham and melon to start followed by a beautiful fresh bruschetta and I had the salmon .. perfectly cooked as always. Fresh as a daisy ! My favourite place ❤️

Great find down the Ecclesall Rd. Really extensive choice on the menu, wonderfully presented and very tasty. The chef, Simon, produces some superb meals and vegetarians are well catered for. Friendly waiting staff . On a short stay in the city we dined here twice and were never disappointed.

My favorite place for good home cooked Italian food. I've never had a bad meal. The lasagna last night was absolutely perfect and other dishes were spot on. The service though is just a pleasure. Unfortunately my memory for names is appalling but the lady at front of house is always friendly and unlike me, remembers my name!!!! The waiting staff are just lovely. The young chap who is about to leave for a bit (although I'm convinced he will be back!) is sweet, funny and has just the right amount of good natured banter. Thanks again for another lovely evening.

Another fabulous Friday evening at Italian Kitchen. Delicious pasta and strong cocktails. This is our favourite Italian in Sheffield, highly recommended a visit this summer ☀️🍹

Came here at the weekend for a friend's birthday and absolutely loved it! Lovely food, with so much choice – and even a few nice mocktails for us non-drinkers. The waitress (Emily) was fab. The only feedback from our group was one of us had meat for the main and it didn't come with any veg (e.g. roasted carrots). Other than that, perfect. We'll be back!

Emily was very kind and thoughtful . I came for a friend’s birthday and she allowed me to bring cake with candles . She was also very attentive . The food was delicious and the staff were very warm and welcoming . A hidden gem in Sheffield!

Wow such lovely food, everything we had was spot on, wonderfully tasty and very fresh. Shout out mention for the deserts, beautifully home made, beyond delicious, will be back!

Went with mum and my partner on bank Holiday Sunday Walked into a lovely buzzy restaurant and had a warm atmosphere We had English asparagus with panko breadcrumbs wrapped in a poached egg and parma ham absolutely delious ! Great wines ( we had 2 gavi ) Fantastic all round thanknyou team IK

Wow , Never fails to impress, beautiful food , great service and all homemade , we travel approx 140 mile round trip to eat here and would travel more , Beautiful ! Will be back !

Another delicious meal at Italian Kitchen which we all enjoyed. Super sea bass special :-) Thank you Chef Simon, and all the team, for always exceeding our expectations.

Been going for nearly 25 years now and the restaurant is as good as ever. 6 of us went and we all had different food. All the food came out together and was all cooked brilliantly. Not one complaint. The portion sizes are large. No need for a starter.

Love it! Thanks to Dan for making our night great.

Beautiful food, cooked perfectly with hearty portion sizes. Our server (young man with a Birmingham accent) was lovely, attentive, and polite. There is a laid back atmosphere and cosy decor, perfect for a date night or family meal. Vegan menu/kids menu. Pricing is ££ - a meal for two, 2 starters and 2 mains could be anything from £45-60. I would recommend the Linguine Verde/Verdi (it’s the pasta with cream, pesto, courgettes, peas etc.). Our server left us with the parmesan cheese on the table which was much appreciated and unorthodox of an Italian restaurant. He also allowed us to take what I couldn’t finish, including the remainder of our wine! Garlic bread was very garlicy- just how we like it. 100% will be returning to this place.

Lovely food; very good service. Excellent.

The food is always fabulous. Wine was fabulous, had an Italian red (and served at the perfect temperature) and a nice atmosphere. try their liqueur coffee's

Visited this beautiful restaurant tonight and the service was just amazing! The food was even better, we will definitely be visiting again. Perfect prices. The manager was lovely and was very accommodating.

Every once in a while i have a yearning for a burger and Uncle Sam's is my usual destination. This time after a friends recommendation i visited this restaurant just up the road from Uncle Sam's. A new addition to their menu an Italian Burger was quite simply the best burger i have had. Moist, tasty, well cooked etc etc. Going back soon.

Fantastic restaurant on Eccy Road that would seem like it would be loud and busy but in fact it was super quiet. Went as a family. Bare in mind we went Sunday evening so it was quiet but you can expect it to popular on Friday and Saturday's.

Another fantastic meal at the Italian Kitchen. Two of the family ordered off the specials, the linguine and said it was amazing. Great food/drinks and lovely staff. Dan looked after us incredibly well. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return for my birthday.

Amazing everytime, went today for mothers day, the food was incredible (as always) with lovely staff and service. Our go to place for every special occasion or otherwise.

My husband booked a table for us and our children for Mother's Day. We were served by Jasmine who was attentive, prompt and friendly. The food was so good and I had a lovely Mother's Day Treat. The gift was a really lovely touch too so I'll enjoy those later once the wine has worn off a bit!

We had a loverly evening, with great service from our server Dan. The bruschetta was to die for, and the tomato dip with the dough balls was delicious. Loverly clean restaurant, with great portion sizes and lovely staff. Will deffo be returning.

Food was great and authentic. The vibe was so cute and it was fairly priced. The service was friendly and warm, thanks dan for the great service :)))

Really enjoyed it here, best italian i’ve had in a long time. Really good portion sizes for the price and the ambience was nice. Dan was very friendly and good service. Would definitely come again!

Faultless evening. Fantastic service, lovely atmosphere and most importantly beautiful food (compliments to Simon the chef) we had calamari/king prawns as starters, fillet steak mains and plum tart/amaretto cheesecake desserts all were exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed will return 100% and reccomend to others

Came with my granddaughter for some lunch - food was absolutely lovely, I had a chicken dish and my granddaughter bruschetta then the fillet steak. Everything was cooked to perfection, the staff are lovely and owner Victoria was very welcoming and helpful when decided what to eat and drink! Will be back again soon. New favourite Italian restaurant!

Came out for a birthday meal. Atmosphere was great and food even better. Dan was a great server!! Definitely will be coming back again :)

I'd heard great things about the Italian Kitchen but I finally gave it a go and I'm so glad I did! Food was amazing and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely be going back!

Food was lovely and they were massive portions of everything so we had extra to take home. Staff were so good and so patient with us being indecisive. Will definitely be back soon

Me and a couple of friends decided to visit a few days ago and we were so impressed!! The food was delicious and really well priced, and we couldn’t have asked for better service from Leah. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

fab food. went around the valentines period. I will definitely be going again, saving room for dessert next time though XD

One can imagine being at the home of an Italian chef being treated to a special family meal. The food tastes hearty and delicious. For Sheffield, this Italian kitchen is a must try. This is a second go for me and I am eager to return again. Order at least two of the starters. The pastas are fresh but the real treat is the calzone.

Excellent food though I was a little over faced and had to reluctantly send some back.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant, excellent service, excellent food, highly recommended.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

amazing food and service, would highly recommend!

The best Italian in Sheffield! We absolutely love this place. Strong drinks, generous portions and everything is absolutely delicious. Recommend Linguine Special and Rigatoni Manzo - yum! At busier periods you're offered free nibbles on arrival and even night caps. Can't recommend enough!

The food is OK but staff are not very nice!

First time visit here and loved the place. Lovely food, very pleasant staff and nice atmosphere - highly recommend! ❤xxx

Really nice restaurant with happy talkative workers, the calzone was by far the best I've ever tasted, not atall greasy very generously filled with a hearty amount of selected toppings with flavour that filled the mouth with each bite. Will 100% be coming back here and talking about the food to my mates next time they ask about good places to eat. I've left feeling absolutely stuffed and nearly beat all for £16 , thank you for your service today!

There is nothing common with italian cuisine. It's actually British cuisine who try to pretend to be Italian. The pasta is bland and tasteless. Only one type of bruschettas - super simple and poor. Even pasta with seafood is tasteless. And this is despite those fact that it's very hard to spoil prawns - hard to imaging what need to do to make them tasteless. The service was fine, waiters are nice and friendly. So if to summarize - restaurant is fine if to treat it not as restaurant but as some super average place for business lunch or to have a dinner when no time to cook at home. But if you are going to spend your Friday evening in a nice restaurant you will be dissapointed. P.S. Super funny thing was serving: they give you souces in a 3L empty metal can from tomato paste they used at kitchen before. Feel yourself not in a restaurant but at some super cheap street takeaway.

10 out of 10! Authentic Italian at its finest x

Lovely, fresh food, lovely staff,great service.

Lovely restaurant, great food. Prepared to be full!

Lovely family place with good food and great presentation & prices.

A huge thank you to chef Simon, Victoria and all the lovely staff at the Italian Kitchen. The service and food is incredible every time, by far the best Italian food in Sheffield!! Highly recommended.

Wir waren für zwei Nächte in Sheffield und waren am ersten Abend im „The Italian Kitchen“ essen. Hier hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir am zweiten Abend direkt nochmal gekommen sind. Das kleine Restaurant ist ein echter Geheimtipp und bietet nicht nur ein sehr schönes Ambiente, sondern auch wirklich gutes Essen. Die Calzone, die Pizza aber auch die Ravioli waren sehr lecker. Auch das Personal empfängt einen sehr herzlich und freundlich. Wir haben uns bei unserer Kellnerin Jazmine und ihren Kolleginnen sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Sheffield gerne wieder.

Absolutely delightful. Food was fantastic. Service was brilliant. Definitely going back

Great food and great value for money.

Lovely meal as always. One of our favourite places to eat and perfect for our celebration.

Really nice food! Calzone has soft edges and very generous in stuffings. Large portions :) One slot is 2 hours, and the actual menu had higher price than the menu on the website. The card machine was not working properly, so we had to choose bank transfer of cash.

Only came here as we were staying one night locally BUT what a great experience. Lovely staff and great menu. Best calazone I'd had in years and a good beer choice. I loved it, family loved it. Might never come this way again but will definitely remember the meal.

The stuffed mushroom starter special was superb, a generous portion and so tasty. I had gnocci with chicken to follow, which was also amazing. The service was good, as was the wine list. Overall, all 3 of us had a really enjoyable meal, although we couldn't quite finish as they were large portions!

Fabulous food, good service, nice atmosphere

Went here for a birthday meal, the do a good gluten free menu and I had no issues after my meal, the food was amazing and the staff were lovely and very friendly.

Our fav Italian in Sheffield. Always great food Just look at these beauties

We love this Restaurant….. Home from Home atmosphere, food is genuinely good and service is second to none.

Seriously the best Italian restaurant in Sheffield ✅

Lovely family business with good food and great presentation. I did not love the tiramisu but I recommend the pie with ice cream.

i walked in to very friendly staff who helped me order and to a seat, the whole process was good and very checked up on me and gave me water when i was waiting for my food. the custom calzone is very tasty and the best i’ve ever had.

Nice lunch with very attentive service and good selection. Would return and try other menu items.

Omg!!! The starter was amazing!! I really enjoy my food. Recommended 100%

Omg this has to be best steak in town. Absolutely delicious, great ambiance, delightful Victoria and her brother Simon the best chef. Will return very soon. Thank you

Amazing food and lovely staff. Great prices as well for the area it is in!

Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere. Sarah was very helpful.

What an excellent experience. We will definitely go again.

Amazing evening at Italian kitchen for our booking of 10 . All courses were beautiful with friendly staff and very prompt service 10/10

It disappoints me to give this restaurant a bad rating, because the food was good and it is a family run restaurant. But the customer service we received was really rude and unacceptable. One of the serving staff made us feel like we were not welcome in there and we would have left if we weren't so hungry. Don't go if you are causally dressed and younger customers.

One of the nicest meals I have ever had. Very reasonable priced & staff are so lovely, will definitely be coming back!

Amazing experience from start to finish. Food was amazing xx

Had the best lunch we’ve had in a while. Came with my parents & enjoyed amazing service and the most delicious food. The prawns were huge & portions were a great size. The chocolate mousse was the best I have ever had thanks to chef Simon. The waitress was also very friendly and chatty. Will definitely be going back soon.

Fabulous meal. Most enjoyable lunch

Brilliant food and service, will certainly recommend it to family and friends

The salmon tagliatelle was really good but the burette caprese mediocre at best. We had a lovely server - sorry I didn't catch your name but she was fab and offered great advice on what to choose etc. There was another lady serving who was quite rude and unfriendly which brought my score down. Everything came slowly and it was quite chilly which also brought my score down. The non-alcoholic cocktail on the specials board was good!

Warm welcome and clean restaurant. We don't go out much locally but myself and the family will definitely be back here. They have a great menu which everyone was struggling to decide what to have as there are so many good options! As well as the normal menu they have a kids menu and also a vegan menu! They even offer take away on all their menu items. Amazing food and Holly was an amazing server! We will be back!

I highly recommend this place. The food is amazing and the staff is lovely!

Very enjoyable place. Great food.

Beautiful cosy Italian restaurant with amazing food and lovely staff, especially Sarah who provided a fantastic service. Highly recommended!!

Food was good and reasonably priced

Great food, great service, not too expensive
