The best restaurants serving Italian food in Oxford South East

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.

Fantastic for Gluten free and not

¡El mejor helado de Oxford y una gran selección de sabores! Mi favorito era un "bollo de cruz fría". Nos encanta este lugar y es muy céntrico!

A beautiful Italian restaurant with amazing food – everything is fresh and perfectly prepared. The décor is very elegant, with Italian music playing softly in the background. It’s the perfect place for a romantic lunch or dinner.

Everything was excellent, just one of the starter was very messy, I guess both because of the trip and the way they packaged it.

Thank you Mamma Mia for the lovely gesture of free birthday ice cream for my girls without being asked! They had a great time and great food as usual ! X

Fui a desayunar y tomé un café con pan casero cubierto con salmón, aguacate, tomate y ensalada. Los ingredientes sabían tan fresco y la porción era masiva - me quité la mitad y tenía para el almuerzo, tan increíble valor. Esta será mi opción cuando esté en Oxford en el futuro.

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.

Hemos comido en este restaurante durante varios años, pero nos fuimos decepcionados después de nuestra visita del domingo. Después de pedir un gluten - entrante libre y principal, la ensalada de pimiento romano llegó sin pimientos. La primera razón aducida fue que había gluten en los pimientos (aunque pedido en el menú gluten - gratis) , y cuando se nos preguntó más, nos dijeron que los pimientos no estaban en temporada. Esto fue seguido por encontrar una etiqueta de plástico en su boca desde su inicio. El camarero dijo que probablemente era de un recipiente de queso... Luego, el lado de mi marido de "verduras de temporada" se olvidó y solo llegó después de que se le preguntó al camarero dónde estaban (y hacia el final de la comida) y resultó ser solo un plato de judías verdes, que estoy seguro de que no se ajustan a los criterios de temporada ... Realmente decepcionado 😞

Visiting Oxford for a days with a group staying in Cowley and we got pizza and pasta to go and everything we got was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Delicious pizza with excellent value for money (Quality/price). I highly recommend it.

Food was fine but had a really horrible experience with the staff which made the whole meal unenjoyable. Would not recommend

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 😤

Second time here and never disappoints.

Delicious pizza and fantastic place thanks
