The best restaurants serving Italian food in Banbury Grimsbury and Castle Cherwell South East

Wow the people here are so delightful. We were lucky to find this cafe amongst many others that did not look as inviting. The toasted sandwiches were superb, the rolls equally delicious but best of all were the home made cakes. Bonus- excellent coffee served in beautiful cups and mugs. Wonderful cafe.

We visited Veeno today for lunch. We had the best meal and we’ll certainly be back. I can’t believe we haven’t discovered this gem before. We had garlic bread and pizza, both of which were the best we’ve ever tasted. They came with olive oil and balsamic dip which was gorgeous. They also gave us some truffle oil to dip the pizza crusts in which was soooo good and different. They had a huge selection of wines and their house red was delicious. I had to have a second glass 😋. Can’t wait to return to try more of their menu. Thank you for a fanatic relaxing lunch x

Amazing experience. Cozy environment, delicious food and perfect service. Very friendly staff. The kids really enjoyed the ice creams. Thank you very much. We do really advise this restaurant. We will return for sure.

Amazing coffee and Banbury cakes, service with a smile sold out of an amazing van! Well worth a visit!

Very disappointed with what I received. I ordered chicken spring rolls and it was totally different from the last time I tried them. There should be consistency if they want people to order. After this time I'll be the last time ordering.

We go for Mother’s Day dinner every year my grandmother has dementia and will only eat pasta with Alfredo which they have always accommodated. But unfortunately we had an older gentleman server who seemed irritated to be there let alone wait on us he was not kind or friendly but very abrasive and fast. When we asked for the specialty food he refused said no exceptions menu only. Which this has never been an issue before and would have been okay if he wasn’t indifferent and not personable. He also didn’t box or ask if we needed bags for all the food we took. With that being said the food was of course excellent but the aggressive service set the tone and set the vibe for our dinner.

There was a wait time of at least 1hr for two people on a Friday night. The space is pretty cramped. The host was very welcoming. The ambience was decent. Had chill vibes. The drinks were very average. Also the serve time was way too much for a single drink. Didn't eat anything as I had dinner elsewhere. I will not be visiting this place again but I recommend visiting this place just to explore it and get it off the list.

Very quiet and friendly also a friendly atmosphere dog friendly and the food is amazing I would come back here any day.

Very nice lunch. Kevin done good.

Thanks man,it me and my friend)

Absolute top notch pizzas and service

Miserable staff, very dirty. The drink sauces located above dishwasher for some reason and drinks taste horrible. Not the best Nero has to offer. Head to any other coffee place in Banbury, best thing you can do.

I've been here a few times, becsuse it is in a perfectly quiet location, facing the afternoon sun, with outside seating and the lovely Oxford Canal, only a foot step away (literally !) I like the thin bone china tea cups as it always tastes better from those; I like the position-A location and the proximity to the town centre, yet in a tucked away spot. I've only given it a 2* rating because of the following; ONLY doing a vegan menu, might be your political/personal choice, but it makes no business sense, nor is it very helpful to the public and families. Not even a vegitarian option, is extremely niche and short sited to 95% of your potential customer base. Admirable morally, but silly, from a public cafe, point of view. The prices are very high. Well, I can cope with that, if the service was tip-top, but it is only below average really. Although the menu only has about 5-6 main-course options (little enough), you'll be lucky, if 2-3 of them, are available AND they really don't seem to care. The most popular item BY FAR, is their home-made soup, so if they had any sense at all, they'd have plenty of it PLUS back-up. This is their lead item. Kitchen closes at 3pm, soup has run out st 12pm ! Come on, get a grip. If something is popular and gives you a good income, then MAKE MORE OF IT ! This is very basic business theory, not rocket science. No wonder so many places go down the pan......they are clueless. You exist, to make money, make a profit, make a living, even though you hark on about your "southern hemisphere travels" and working in "all the best cafe's", all that is irrelevant, to your bottom-line. All the cheap plastic/aluminium chairs and tables, don't add anything to your ethos ! How about some nice Lloyd Looms ? Not expensive, but eco friendly and look great. Nice staff uniforms ? A menu that isn't torn up crumpled paper with staines on it. Damn, you guys could be SO much better. Sorry.
