The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cheshire West and Chester North West

Chef Rob Owen Brown runs this unique street food operation from Easter weekend to the end of October each year, Thurs -Sunday 4-9pm or thereabouts. It's situated in the grounds of a lovely marina in rural Cheshire, there are moored narrowboat here and wide open spaces for a long walk through the fields if that takes your fancy. The mainstay of the food that Rob cooks here is pizzas, but oh what pizzas they are! Thin crusts, charred and full of flavour with loads of different topping to choose from, believe me I've tried them they are delicious. He also offers a changing specials menu which could be almost anything. I've seen game offered, katsu chicken wraps, half a roast chicken with rosemary and garlic and loads of other things too. There's always puddings, waffles sometimes and cheesecakes. You never quite know what's going to be going to be on, but it will be worth a visit and be delicious. This evening I had roasted sea bream with Mediterranean vegetables and garlic potatoes, it was fabulous. This is such an unusual venue, it's hard to give a realistic view of it. The food is amazing and next to the food cart is a re-purposed narrowboat ( out of the water) which serves as a mini pub. Loads of wines, beers on tap and bottled too, spirits and a comprensive range of alcohol free drinks. If that isn't enough there's glamping, camping and a lovely onsite cafe. Just come, it's amazing xx

I can’t recommend Poco more highly. The staff were all extremely friendly and attentive and the tapas dishes were all delicious. A thoroughly fab dining experience. We will definitely return upon our next visit to Chester.

Had a lovely meal at Lorenzos this week. Every dish from the impressive menu was exceptional; full of flavour, well presented. Also tried some summer cocktails which were divine. All this, and with wonderful, friendly, attentive hosting from the whole team, and a fantastic but not intrusive soundtrack! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Always a great experience at The Yatch! We go for most birthday dinners or special occasions. Always a great variety of food to choose from, and the atmosphere is always a vibe!

Great restaurant, atmosphere was spot on and the food was fantastic! Will definitely be coming here again on our next visit to Chester!

Lovely place! Very cosy, with attentive and helpful staff. The food was delicious — we had pizza and a warm salad, both of which were really tasty.

When all the reviews were five star we were so excited I called to check when the kitchen closed to make sure we got there with plenty of time the kitchen closed at 10 and we arrived at 9. We ordered straight away just garlic bread and some cokes, the restaurant was quite empty only 2 other tables after we finished our food a young man came over and said ‘r u done with that’ which my sister said no he took my plate and said ‘u ready for your mains yet’ very passive aggressive. The whole time we were sat around 4 staff were all stood at the bar snickering, looking at us, and laughing. When our food came the young man aggressively put down the plates and gave us very little Parmesan - Ik it sounds petty but he was very passive aggressive and short with me and my sister for the whole evening. The food was plain and untasteful we literally ordered meatballs and pasta I don’t know why it tasted like nothing. We barely ate any of it and I asked for a takeaway tub when the lady picked up our plates a knife full of tomatoe sauce fell on my sister white top and it fell towards her face. The woman was reasonable and went to go and get a wet cloth, offered to foot the dry cleaning bill. When she returned my sister had left obviously very frustrated and she had brought back a lemon hand wipe 😂. I payed the bill and left. Honestly I have never written a bad review on anywhere because I understand not everyone has the same ideals as me and have other things going on. In my eyes what started off as a kind gesture of taking my sister out for a meal turned into a waste of time money and food. I payed £50 for not the best food a stained top and to be made like we were being rushed out of the door due to being the last customers. I always try to be reasonable but it was honestly the worst service experience

Very friendly staff, Ellie and Daysan looked after myself and my wife allowing us to taste and recommending wines to compliment our food order. We had a fantastic lunch and cant wait to return.

Great food, great service, great value. Visiting Chester with older relatives so looking for somewhere that would cater for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Found this recommendation on Trip Advisor and it really is a hidden gem. The food was freshly cooked, ample portions and delicious, decent wine list and overall very good value.

Ate here today and the carbonara lived up to the restaurant's name! The service was also fantastic and I would hardly recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone in Chester. It's off the main stretch of road so you can have a quiet seat outside overlooking the high street.

My favorite pizza place in the UK!!! Highly recommend the pizza (both the classic and Turin) and the tiramisu. Service is great, we’ve been several times and will continue to go.

If i could give 100 stars for each category i would. Everything about our experience there last night(31/05) was fab!!!!Amazing food and atmosphere and all the staff are an asset to the business. Cannot wait to go again!!!! Thank you La Fattoria

Lovely experience down there : I dined several times during my stay and I’ve never been disappointed. Among Christian’s warm welcome, comfortable ambiance and delightful meals, you cannot get it wrong in choosing this restaurant !

Another excellent meal at Cabbage Hall. All dishes arrived together and all delicious. Great service from Paulo and the staff.

So we moved up from London in August 2023 and have been wanting for tasting menus since, its out couples thing. Danoi was our first "'tup Norff" menu post getting settled. The restaurant is all about the tasting menu. Of particular note is the wine pairing which picks up very nicely on the on the soil and water properties of the Tuscan region paired really well with great food. In general the premium wine pairing is worth going for - we tried both Classic and Premium on our visit, we noticed only one exception here. Of particular note for us was: The La Vellutata (Potato Veloute/black caviar/white chocolate) paired with 2021 Langhe DOC "Nascetta" - this was the classic collection exception - it was excellent and especially pulled on undertones of glacial run off water filtered by CLay and Glacial deposit - took me back to mountaineering, a great memory. The Beef Tartare served with a mustard Gelato was a new taste for us and both loved it. The pairing with the 2015 Langhe DOC "Quatr Nas" made us both pause to appreciate what we had just had. Another pairing worth a mention was the Ox Cheek paired with 2016 Barlo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" The cheese course is technically fantastic but for me was too much, we should have shared one between 2. It was worth being stuffed senseless though for the pairing of the 2016 Barolo DOCG "Vigna D'la Roul" Overall a fantastic experience. We did also visit the family's Gelato shop the next day, also worth a visit and really made us see where the Mustard Gelato came from - a great extra detail forming an overall fantastic experience.
