The best restaurants serving Italian food in Oxford South East

Best ice cream ever. Beautiful shop and great staff. I live north oxford so go to this shop as often as possible. Also good to buy some gifts.

As the other reviewers have commented this is fantastic ice cream, the best I've had here in the UK. For other comparable ice creams I've had I would mention Fenocchio in Nice, and Messina in Sydney. But if you don't want to fly for your ice cream here it is in Oxford.

We ate here tonight and my boyfriend js coeliac. This restaurant is owned by a mother & daughter and the daughter is coeliac, so there is a completely separate area of preparation with different ingredients so food anxiety was an absolute minimum. Charming staff, and wonderfully homely atmosphere. Simply delightful. No pretence, just fantastic Italian food & charisma. Thank you!!

We were seated against the front window and strong drafts blew on us the entire meal. As for the kitchen, nothing to complain about. The dishes were generous and tasty. Unfortunately, the service was not as good as the food. When we asked for a bottle of wine, the waitress came and placed it like a flower pot. We didn't even have a wine glass! In addition, half of the glasses from our aperitif were still on the table when we paid although we had starter and main course. Half because we got up at one point to place a few empty glasses on the bar ourselves. In short, the food is good but that's the only positive aspect we remember.

Actually one of the better pizzas in town, and more authentic than the competition. Excellent espresso.

We had a great time, always great food there, not to miss if you re in Oxford!

Very friendly and efficient in managing our large international group. The food was excellent and arrived on time. We will definitely return again.

This is mainly for the chef! Mozzarella tasted as it was off and the Palma ham had been left out on the plate all day! Couldn’t eat the cheese! Pizza was poor! Asked for an egg, not done properly and the pepperoni was cheap! I sense costs have been cut and the chef has lost any interest in the food

Gran comida, lleno de sabor, y el personal era muy atento, servicial y amable con nuestro nieto de 18 meses también y le hizo un pequeño plato de pasta

Unfortunately, Bacaro got it all wrong for our visit. The place was quiet when we entered with only 2-3 tables occupied by couples. An initial comment was made by one of our party, I am paraphrasing here, "It can't be very good if it's this quiet on a Saturday night!", which was subsequently proven correct. We were seated and a drinks order taken, with some ambiguity surrounding whether or not we could order certain drinks. Nevertheless, the waitress returned with our ordered drinks and took our food order. One member of our party chose to have 2 starters for her main, which we requested be brought with the rest of the meals, they were not. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we waited for the rest of the mains to arrive, all pizzas, which seem to take an inordinate amount of time to prepare and cook, given that there were not many people in the restaurant at the time. As a side note at this point, two further couples had come and gone, before we had received our mains! With all of this set aside, a good meal can make up for the poor service, however, that was not to be the case. The food quality was very poor, making it seem like this was the first time the chef had attempted to make pizzas. Tasteless and doughy! It really was a poor effort all round. The whole experience was compounded by the negative, dismissive and quite frankly rude, response to our complaints, by the owner/head chef. It was amateur at very best and not a experience that I will partake in again. Many better restaurants down the Cowley Road to visit.

Hi so I was invited to my friends birthday on the 7th October was a 18th birthday party. My friend and his twin payed for 50 pizzas which were £400 and and that’s a lot of money to waste and the owner said they will not give a refund because he was adamant that there was 50 and said to my mate we can’t see the cameras. Truth to be told I did not drink and there was definitely not 50 there was no more then 20. Service was bad the staff that were running the bar were 17 and really undertrained and it was a busy capacity I was waiting 20 minutes for a drink. Truth to be told the pizzas were nice but there wasn’t enough. Also another problem why we think that the owner didn’t make all the pizzas my friend had a catering service there that made food at the same time. Sorry this is so long but the last problem was I brought my friend a £76 bottle of champagne and I knew he got a few more bottles to he asked the people behind the bar to look after them and he insisted they would he asked them if they were sure and they really insisted they got took to. So it wasn’t a good night and we are all fuming 😤

This place really surprised me. It may have been the best pizza I've ever had and I've been to Italy on multiple occasions. I was well pleased and not planning to order a pudding. The man serving us offered tiramisu and said that if we didn't like it we didn't have to pay for it. It was hands-down THE BEST tiramisu I have ever tasted in my life. I seldom leave restaurant reviews but 😋

Great local pizza spot. We were looking for a late night snack and happened upon this pizza place just before heading home. There’s just one guy running the whole place. We ordered two mediums and one large. The Quattro forage was good, but not excellent… Although we prefer to have Gorgonzola on our Quattro- and I think they had cheddar or something else. One pizza had almost every topping, and we still added more with mushrooms and garlic. Once we ordered, they said it would be around 15 minutes and in exactly 15 minutes we were back and our pizzas were ready.

Good and tasty food. Overall very good. Too bad the espresso came cold.

Good pizza and Faisal is a good staff
