The best restaurants serving Italian food in Tunbridge Wells South East

Warm welcome, rather pushy waiter taking order, good service BUT food mediocre: my husband’s aubergine melanzana was not good he said, and his dish of the day pasta bland & tasteless; based on glowing reviews I chose the lamb, that was more less without flavour inc sauce & I’d been pushed to order extra veg by waiter and got a watery spoonful of spinach @ 6.50. Expensive meal and really disappointing

Fantastic sourdough pizza! Really nice menu, good wine list. We had a lovely warm welcome and the best bit was being allowed to take our small dog inside with us.

Must go if your within a 100km radius

Went with my girlfriend for some dinner and had a lovely time. Wonderful food, interactive staff, beautiful atmosphere. Overall, an enjoyable night and a definite return for us!

Super pizzas and good dessert. I would highly recommend for any pizza lover. Good pricing and service.

Absolutely delicious coffee, a nice calm atmosphere and friendly service.

First to arrive for an early pre-concert meal, so lacked atmosphere until other diners arrived. Didn't look open so needs work on lighting, but the food is outstanding. The Chef/patron took our order and then cooked it to our exact requirements, quite happy to substitute items in the Carbonara--mushrooms and courgette for Pancetta-, and gluten-free pasta for my wife. Substantial portions with surprisingly generous amounts of prawns and monkfish in the linguine. Just needs a little tweak with the presentation and the decor.as the food is very good indeed.

The most perfect spot for a coffee or meal. My dog loved it too. Lots of water bowls

Lovely food, nice pub. Limited on drinks - only bitter was IPA, only rose fizz, no light ale

So pleased that we found this little gem in TW. The outside does not do justice to the authentic high quality food this little family restaurant provides. Lovely, friendly owners who are delighted to talk about their food and history. Its very small so probably need to book for dinner. Give it a try.

Booked the private room for a work gathering. It was on the advice of some colleagues - so went with it. Was not impressed that I was told 12.5% would be added to every drink and the buffet. It was non negotiable. On the evening the room looked pretty and the staff were nice, especially the gentleman who I think, may run the restaurant. He was excellent. When I queried the amount of food for the £400 we had paid - he couldn’t have been more helpful in replenishing it. However I thought this was damage limitation, as the snooty serving staff said - yes, this is it! I am not convinced the service charge goes to the staff - so I get her attitude. But overall, it is overpriced and not a patch on Carluccio’s.

Popped in on a rainy saturday after taking the kids to soft play. It was fantastic, so accommodating for children, great pizza, generously portioned salads and such friendly staff. There was 11 of us and they were extremely efficient. Perfect place to pop into for lunch with the family.

Nous avons bu une boisson chaude et mangé une pâtisserie dans ce café au personnel agréable. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner anglais au menu. Le cadre est agréable (intérieur et extérieur). A refaire sur un temps de midi pour voir comment sont les repas.

It was a great catch up meal with friends. Was pleasantly surprised that the noise volume was much better than I'd expected within the place and therefore it was easy to hear each other whilst we chatted even with a large party nearby. Was warm but not hot environment. Toilet facilities were clearly marked and easy to access and very clean. Food was good however honey dough balls were slightly spice than anticipated and it wasn't until finished the starter that realised the honey was in the side dish and not actually over the balls when served 😅. All friends had the new salad in middle of pizza ..novelty idea but looked nice and I had pollo pesto which was lovely and had to finish with tirimasu 😋. Another nice idea that they now do is the mini dessert with coffee or tea on the side..brilliant idea 💡. Great evening and thank you Pizza Express for the excellent table service.

We were a little hesitant because from the outside it looks like nothing special. But then we noticed they cook with a wood oven so we figured it would be worth trying. The verdict: A nice thin crust pizza with a good amount of ingredients. Collection price is really good too. Only £10 for a large 15" any style. I think you can eat in for the same amount too. The sauce is a bit thinly applied, but you could ask for a bit more sauce if you like. The owner of this place is Afghani and prides himself on making a good pizza. If the place is not too busy he likes to chat.
