The best restaurants serving Italian food in Westgate Canterbury South East

Great pizza, fast and friendly service and decent prices. A go-to location to sit down with friends or family and enjoy good food.

A truly delicious meal in charming surroundings with friendly and efficient service. Calamari fritti starter that truly tasted of fresh squid rather than the usual rubber bands, perfectly grilled swordfish with heavenly crispy roasted potatoes and a lightly dressed salad of impeccable greens, spaghetti with local clams that were tiny but tasty. Lots of loyal locals in evidence anchoring the tourists. As the elegant French ladies at the next table would say, “une bonne adresse.”

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Chapters Pizzeria in Canterbury, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The staff at Chapters Pizzeria were nothing short of incredible. Izzy and Kate, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that our visit was memorable. They were so lovely, helpful, and wonderful, making sure that every aspect of our meal was perfect. Their genuine smiles and attentive service and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch that is hard to find. The food was simply fantastic! The pizzas were cooked to perfection, with a deliciously crispy crust and a perfect balance of toppings. But what truly stood out was the ice cream that Izzy made. It was absolutely divine, and with some added personal flair. Overall, Chapters Pizzeria offers a fantastic dining experience. The quality of the food, combined with the outstanding service from Izzy and Kate, makes it a must-visit spot in Canterbury. If you're looking for a place with great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and exceptional staff, look no further than Chapters Pizzeria.

Delicious food, delightful service, enormous portions! Deserved to be so busy. We hadn't booked, but unlike in London, we received a very welcome reception with only a short wait for a table. My calzone was cold inside but this was quickly rectified and apologised for. Very reasonable price but we didn't have alcohol.

I went with my grandson before a show at The Marlowe on Easter Monday. It was quiet in the restaurant. The staff were ok, not particularly welcoming but fine. The first and second courses were good, I had the vegan meatballs and the delicious Rainbow lasagne. My grandson had a kids meal of pepperoni pizza. Then we were ignored. For 40 minutes…. I stacked the dirty plates on our table, no one came to pick them up or ask if we needed anything. We asked 4 times for his chocolate ice cream over a 25 minute period but had to give up and leave ( and rush ) , so as not to miss our show. I told the server about this when I paid but she wasn’t all that interested. All a bit irritating. It’s the second time in a row I’ve encountered bad service at this Zizzis , so it’s back to Wildwood up the road next time.

The waitress Leila was super friendly and welcoming!

Very nice staff and good service! The food was good too, at least what you‘d expect when ordering Italian food. Lovely atmosphere too!

Worst pizza ever had. Hardly any toppings, just dough, bit of tomato sauce and 8 pieces of salami. Shocking for £19. Cocktails, couldn't taste the alcohol. Lovely wairing staff though.

Great lunch and a happy hot chocolate. Kids meals were free for half term, too 👌🏼
