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

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with 22 other ls we had such a greatbtime, service was amazin, we were well looked after and the food was delicious. Thank you so much for having us and cooking for us x x

Best Italian dining experience I've had outside of Rome! Personal touch to the service, delicious food, and very relaxed atmosphere. Can't fault it, and highly recommend. Excited to go back.

I have visited Artezzan restaurant on several occasions during 2024 with colleagues and friends. The ambience of the venue is good & we have always been made to feel welcome and the service has been great each time. The set menu, in addition to the full menu, provides excellent choice and the quality of food and the range of drinks is excellent also. Although we were fortunate that there was availability when we walked in early evening on one occasion, I suggest booking, to be certain of a table.

Really lovely owner who is friendly and informative. Great food at a great price.

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

Would not recommend the Christmas specials

Popped in for lunch after some shopping. The service was friendly. The food was hot, good portion size and tasty. We also bought one of their panettone from the shop. Absolutely yummy. We will be back.

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!

Just popped in for a few drinks with a friend not having been here before but had such a good time. Drinks were great, atmosphere was a vibe, and our server Brooke was so lovely and attentive. Will definitely be back!
