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

My favourite Italian in Chester, both of our pasta dishes were excellent as was the the focaccia bread. Service was attentive and friendly and the restaurant has a nice cosy warm family run feel to it definitely will be coming here time and time again

Great lunchtime food. Had the set 2 courses which were reasonably priced. The waiter we had on Saturday was very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. Would recommend anyone to have a meal at Carbonara.

Having read several reviews, I'm not sure we visited the same restaurant. Frankly, I found the food to be underwhelming and overpriced. Shan't be rushing back.

The Turin base is very nice, not as doughy as say the American style deep dish. The tiramisu was very nice too. It was nice to try the Italian craft beers that were equally tasty. Highly recommended for casual dinning!

My daughter Gabriella and I have been here 3 times before . Always had a good meal .So it's my 60th birthday and Gabriella booked for me , her and Joao . Food was authentic and amazing . Service perfect. Was treated like 'family'. Lovely atmosphere here. No rush to finish our meal . Will be back again for meal soon . Must have been good food for Joao cos he always moans about something when we go for a meal but no bad words about anything tonight , he was all smiles 😀

I popped in mid-afternoon hoping for a coffee, cake and a glass of wine - managed to get two of the three. Although it's a café, it's definitely more wine focused. Service was quite slow and it wasn't even that busy. The cake / pastry choice was almost non-existent, so I opted for a selection of breads with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The focaccia was stupendous and highly recommended. I didn't eat anything else so can't comment on other food. The wine I chose was okay but nothing outstanding. Ultimately it is a 'wine café' so more about managing my own expectations.

Super neighbourhood Italian. Excellent food - lots of crab cakes and lobster ravioli at our table. Ravioli was outstanding , plenty of lobster and a lovely zingy sauce. Service was brilliant. Friendly cheerful and very helpful. Fantastic value. Location looks at first to be a bit odd but its walking distance from city centre and inside its lovely and cosy.

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.

Food 10/10 and the people are amazing. Great experience all round we will be back!!!! Christmas meal, the food looked, smell and taste unreal. The staff are amazing

WOW! Had a bowl of Arrabiata at Chester market. I eat a lot of pasta and this was the most delicious. I've had in years. Bursting with flavour. Warn, friendly people too.

Visited on News Years Day evening, not a very comfortable restaurant to sit on, v noisy, menu as online, food was good, v tasty calamari and pasta dishes BUT we felt that for the quality and quantity of food it was overpriced (over £100) and we left dissatisfied and still a little hungry. We will not recommend nor revisit

Excellent Italian. Great food. Lovely wine. Friendly atmosphere. Lookout for deals Recommend buying a TASTE CARD. 2 for 1 on mains.

I always thought this place would be wayyy better than your average chain. Its not. I got a pizza, my partner got aribiata picante. Both should have been full of flavour but were not. The bruchetta to start had soggy bread and tomatoes with very little dressing, the cheesy garlic bread was so dry you needed alot of water to swallow it down. It was a busy night. However there was no excuse for how long we waited between starter and main. We waited 45 mins after finishing our starter. We saw three tables come in and leave in the same time as us waiting for our mains. I eventually gave up and asked what was happening. No apology, nothing. Good came 10 mins after I'd asked for an update. The staff were friendly, but the waitress we had was rather aggressive. We'd paid online via the QR because we waited 15 mins for the bill and again, gave up. We stood up to leave and the waitress wouldn't let us even despite us showing on our phone we'd paid. She eventually went to the till and just gave us a thumbs up. I'd not recommend this. Just go to ZiZi or Pizza express they're actually better and the food is nicer.

First day of opening after lockdown, excellent food in a nice courtyard, nice to be eating out again, nice Lasagne and a Peroni to wash it down,wife had chicken burger and a glass of red! Nice friendly staff and well worth a visit!

This is the second time we have been, we had Brooke serve us yesterday and it was genuinely the best service we’ve ever received, lovely friendly and when I was feeling ill they helped accommodate me with having a new dish with no fuss, amazing place would recommend to anyone in the area or on holiday here
