Tonino's Pizzeria in South Kesteven

Been a handful of times now for multiple occasions and never had a bad meal. Staff are always engaging and friendly, provide great recommendations and small talk when ordering and paying. The food itself always arrives in good time, super tasty and without a fault.

Had a fantastic family dinner at Tonino's last night! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was so cozy. Everything from the starters to the mains was cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're in the area. 🇮🇹🍕🍝

Tried this place on Friday night, and I was so impressed with the food. Not only the taste but the portion sizes were great too! The anti pasta board for one had a nice selection of meats and cheese and the garlic bread was soft and tasty aswell. My main was Gnocci in a white wine creamy sauce and I really enjoyed it. It was so flavoursome and delicious! I definitely would recommend and will be going back.

Tagliatelle Alla Siciliana was what i ordered, in the description there was no mention of using crab sticks (should be prawns, mussels, squid), but the majority of ‘seafood’ in the dish was chunks of cheap crab sticks. Very disappointing.

Big table of 11 of us, great food, quick and very friendly service, and a great little authentic restaurant.

I`m very sad to be writing a less than positive review, so I`m really sorry to say we were very disappointed with our recent visit to your restaurant. We haven`t been for a while and the last time we were there was in 2016, and it was lovely so we know the standard we`ve all been used to. Unfortunately, this time in Aug 2024, it wasn`t what we expected from what was a proper Italian experience. The food was bland and the table for 4 people was far too small, and the lighting was far too dim to see properly, the whole place was soulless. I will say on a positive note the wine (Merlot) was very good and the service was lovely. We will definitely not be returning anytime soon.

Complements to the chef this evening, I just had calamari starter and an amazing calzone. Seriously tasty thankyou. 10/10

We had booked our table & had confirmation on phone & table number, however on arrival was told there was no record of it. We were then taken to a table, not number 5 & after 40 minutes we asked waitress (who was apologetic & a star) if we could order a drink. First pint ok second flat to be told pump playing up! Our starters were on side for at least 5 minutes only to be plonked down on table by guy who had come in from delivering. Mains were ok but not patch on old Toninos. After over 20 years of coming to this establishment it's unfortunate that we won't be returning.

What a pleasure to have a really good value and decent back on the radar in deeping. The new owners have done a great job. no longer is it an average food restaurant with miserable front of house. The staff are amazing really friendly and funny it is like going back in time when you had fun in a restaurant. The food is good also 6 of us ate and all of us enjoyed it and it is so cheap it really is. Can't wait to go back.

Very friendly, the food we had was excellent. We were very early so hard to judge the atmosphere.

Food was delicious. Service was very good and the atmosphere was just right. The staff were lovely and very helpful.

We always have a great meal here. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly! We recently were served by Sophie who was absolutely brilliant. She made such an effort with our 3 year old son and even made arrangements to let him watch his pizza being cooked! She’s a credit to the team at Toninos and we hope to see her again soon when we come back! x

Booked Saturday night 15th and what a thrill. Superb food, prices and serving attentive. Came from Kettering and will return.

Really good pizza, the dough and cheese was delicious. Overall a very nice evening. M

I had risotto marinara and my co diner had the pizza 🍕 😋 both were excellent , freshly cooked and piping hot at the table. We both had Tiramisu afterwards and that was deeeeelish !!

Delicious pizzas made at home. The attention is very good, they serve you like a king. The place is very good and the location is excellent.

Lovely meal, great service, friendly staff Will definitely come back

Visited for Dinner was very busy in spite of this we were served promptly and had a lovely dinner

Had a fantastic dinner at Tonino’s last Thursday night. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. They were quite busy, so a reservation is recommended!

The ambience has changed in what was a family favourite. Service far too rushed as unknown to us they close at 10pm. Glass of Rose 'blush' wine was corked but still charged "as I did not ask to replace immediately" yet returned to waitress 80% full as undrinkable. Unacceptable and petty! Not a way to treat and impress clients. We had planned leisurely coffees and liquers but this was clearly not possible as the waitress needed to 'cash up' and close. Disappointing that a rare and special get together was rushed.

Got last minute booking Friday evening, enjoyed every minute, great food and service abd great value for money. X

Food was good, nothing special. Service was very good. Staff were patient on the whole, some of our party were late, due to being stuck in traffic. But was literally freezing, ate with our coats on. Would I go back again, no. Just because it was too cold. Shame really as radiators were on. We were a big party and we all ate with our coats on. But like I said the staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough, nothing was a problem. Cash only. We would of spent more if they accepted card, as we would of had more drinks and possibly dessert.

What a lovely find for an Italian food. I'm a fussy eater but having a meal in here during the Christmas time and I would like to tell you , what a great find. Family who loves the Italian food they are so happy with the food and service and also the new opening hours which suits us. Staff are very helpful not so much of push for drinks where you normally find in restaurant. They let you enjoy your time. We will definitely be back soon. Good luck.

fantastic environment, and the food was absolutely delicious!😋

Nothing is ever too much trouble. Food is freshly prepared, and it can be seen being prepared. Wonderful atmosphere. Cannot recommend this lovely place enough.

Lovely meal with friends and wonderful service

Lovely food and great service, i would recommend to anyone.

Excellent Italian restaurant in this small market town. Stone walls, open kitchen and an L-shaped layout. Reasonably-priced Pastas (crispy and thin) and a range of pasta and meat dishes. Friendly and welcoming, and very popular (booking recommended). Open Wed-Sat evenings (March 2023). CASH only.

Amazing pizza. My brother can't eat lactose or eggs and because they make everything from scratch they were able to cater for him extremely well. Great service, great food!

The best pizza you can find in the area. Authentic italian cuisine - tastes just like Italy. Tortellini was to die for. I'd also recommend the fried potatoes! The service was second to none - friendly and accommodating - constantly doting on us. Cannot fault them, whatsoever. I've only discovered them a couple of weeks ago, but will be a regular customer. Forget Domino's!

Authentic Italian food. Very friendly staff. Great ambience. Steak was cooked to perfection, it melted as I ate it. Beautiful. Will revisit soon.

Very friendly, lovely atmosphere, good quality food and reasonably priced…. Would highly recommend and we will be going back

Lovely Italian Restaurant, with food made on the premises it was a littke noisy

Be warned, only take cash. Quite amazing for 2022. Food was good though.

Absolutely fantastic food, great friendly service. A great place to go

It's pizza, in an Italian restaurant, so shouldn't get it wrong. Good service.

Fantastic food, great ambience, lovely staff!

Beautiful food at a very fair price, the waiting staff could not have done any more. Was a lovely experience.

Ben a couple of times. Delicious specials both times.

Absolutely delicious 😋. Such good food and amazing service! 100% favorite 10/10

Lovely authentic food at a good price.

Fantastic food in a restaurant you are made to feel so welcome.

Loved the food, service and ambiancr

Superb meal as always at Tonino's. Love the new decor and delighted that there is still a top Italian restaurant in the local area.

Great local Italian.. lovely hosts and great food . Had a face lift to make it feel very airy... nice ..

Very friendly staff and we were made to feel very welcomed. Food and service was superb. Trying to find another reason to go back soon...

Food always fresh, great service. Extremely good value for money.

Ensuring the social distance rules are in place with a good balance of still feeling welcoming

Love going to Tonino's lovely service and great food.

The workers are so nice the food is amazing i defiently recommend coming here

Went for the first time in years tonight, food and service was amazing.

Fantastic food and great service...will definitely be visiting again

First time we have visited & definitely will not be the last, food was great, staff were brilliant

A great place, family run with fantastic food!

A brilliantly managed local restaurant. It's great to have such a place in a small town. Good variety on the menu. Friendly front of house staff ready to answer any queries

Come in here regularly and enjoy every visit.

There was hair in the cheese cake...

Very good food, great service. Will definitely return.

Authentic lovely Italian food, great service and cosy atmosphere.

A very good Italian restaurant, food freshly cooked and delicious.

Once upon a time Tonino’s was really at the top of its game, drawing people in from miles around. Now, it’s not as good as it used to be but it’s still very good for a local. Good enough that you’re advised to book ahead if you want a table. Used to be the old TSB if you’re old enough to remember

Not as good as it used to be. Conveniently located for me but wouldn't travel to visit. Not terrible just a bit meh.

Been here many times as a local. Service is wonderful. Proper flavours and styles of traditional cooking. There is a reason its been around for so long- great food, atmosphere, service. Ill be back soon

Never fails to impress...Fantastic food and service as ever...

The food was very nice as usual and service was fast and friendly, also as ever. Great place to eat.

Food tasty and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere as busy (Was a Friday night)!

Pleasant atmosphere and good friendly service.

Very very expensive, food ok but nothing special

Great place for pizzas, especially for calzonies. Good atmosphere in a small village setting.

Pineapple on pizza was off - so had to throw the whole thing- smelt bad and tasted worse - pity as used to be good so need to find another place

Wrong order delivered. Correct orfer received later tasted like warmed up microwaved meal even though all insisted fresh cooked. Not impressed. Not charged for my main meal.

Staff very nice and very good food

A cosy resteraunt with a fairly simple but delicious menu.

Brilliant food and a good welcome. Prices are good, will def return.

Lovely pizzas. Option to customise them too. Had garlic bread and fried dough balls for starter. Large portions for both (share between 3 easily).

Microwave mush...lasagna & bologna appalling. ..do not go near place. It was empty and cold with Pavarotti music the only semblance of an Italian experience. The waiter had to call to the kitchen to ask if spaghetti was on the menu...when I asked if the parmasan cheese could be supplied and left at the table the waiter shrugged and said that there s not much. When i complained about the lack of meat in my meal he dug around my plate and eventually pulled out one tiny morsel... as that proved that i was being an awkward customer. My companions felt the same about their soupy ladagne...very disappointed.

My friend and I had our retirement dinner here. We had 44 guests attend and the service was excellent. The food was served efficiently by friendly and courteous staff. I would recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food! Homey yet vibrant atmosphere. Friendly, efficient staff. Highly recommend.

The Mrs loves it small and quiet perfect for date night

Fantastic food and friendly service as always.

Stone cold food and waited far too long to be served

Love this place, food is excellent. Tastes just like food we've eaten in Rome.

Very poor experience. Calamari too tough to eat but batter undercooked. Diced potatoes dry and loads of completely black potatoes. Mushroom risotto mainly what appeared to be tinned tomatoes poorly seasoned and with a few very soggy mushrooms. Canneloni very bland and no seasoning. Pizza very average. Only good bit was the gin and tonic. Didn't risk dessert! Service not bad but table squashed into a corner and not enough space for the 5 of us. Overpriced even though meal was discounted due to poor quality. Wouldn't go back. Worst meal out in a very long time and as it was a birthday meal out we felt very disappointed. Said their regular chef was away and they were understaffed, so maybe not a typical experience here.

Gorgeous food and brilliant service. Lovely cosy family-friendly atmosphere.

Always enjoy eating here; the food and service are consistently good.

Not great , food and service was average , but might have change since my last visit !

Love eating at toninos the food is great and the staff are always friendly and welcoming

Starter and desert was great. Pizza was a little bit soggy in the middle, but tasted nice.

Overpriced for the quality but a decent Italian in the Deepings. In fact, it probably suffers from being the ONLY Italian restaurant in the area. No competition means nothing special.

We have been here a couple of times now and have been impressed with the food both times. Open kitchen and a genuine atmosphere. Good restaurant!

We have dined here a number of times and the food and the hospitality has always been great.

Been there a few times,"excellent"

The food and the service are both amazing.

Lovely owners and our 3yr old loves watching them cook. Best calzone in the area!

Have dined here quite a few times and always enjoyed the food and the service
