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.

Fabulous food, brilliant staff. Can't wait to go back. I think our main waitress was Christina (so sorry if I got that wrong), my friend and I have a slightly dry/sarcastic sense of humour and she fitted straight into that but everyone that came to the table etc were great.

Really lovely place, great food and drink selection. The staff were fun and helpful, especially Gordon🤩 The Pinchos and flatbreads were particularly good.

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.

Ate there on Sunday evening and the restaurant was very busy and loud. Due to it being so busy the food came out slowly but it was very nice and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Good value for money

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.
