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

The BEST pizza and best service! 10/10

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

I ordered a Crispy cheesy wrap, not what I expected. It wasn't crispy or cheesy enough. Highly disappointing. I don't think I got what I ordered, if you had to changed items then I should have been told. I expected the correct order, or was that too difficult

It was my first time at this place, and wow! I loved the service, the food, and the atmosphere. The person who attended to us was very kind and detailed when explaining the menu. I 100% recommend this place. Thank you for the great service!

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

I came here a year ago and was blown away by the presentation, creativity and taste of the cocktails. Since then it’s become progressively worse, with the menu becoming ineligible the second time with a rude server, and third time (last night) the menu becoming actually legible but with more standard cocktails. The cocktails were still good but not worth the elevated price. Alex the bartender is great however. Mixed feelings given this place seems to have moved away from the direction of focusing less on the presentation of drinks, which is what I felt made this place really memorable and appealing in the first place.

Classic burger was bland. But Double bacon burger vad nice and good service by Ciarraleigh

Pizza was cold and hard, chips were lumpy and soggy.

The wings have returned to find they were particularly bad this weekend crispy coating fell off the meat and had a bland taste. It’s a shame this place could be good if there was some consistency with their food.

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.
