The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Oxfordshire South East

Cannot recommend Paddy and the Cotswold Pizza Company enough. Having explored many options for the evening food at our wedding just outside Gloucester, Paddy stood out with glowing reviews on several platforms - having worked with him I see why! He was always available to answer questions over the phone and emails and even took time out of his weekend to visit the venue with us a few weeks before the wedding. The pizzas were very reasonably priced and on the night were a hit, with everyone was raving about them the following day. Thank you so much to Paddy and the team for contributing to a stress-free planning process and wonderful day!

I am new to the area and trying out all the local places and this did definitely not disappoint. Attended with friends for a warm welcome, good food, and a good happy atmosphere. What more can you want!

Good, tasty portions. However, we needed to ask for our meal to be reheated as it was lukewarm when served. After that, it was a delicious, home made like meal. I ordered chicken which was quite grilled outside but pink and red at places inside, so I just took that home and fried it. One of the men in there said nothing when we walked in, the other guy was friendly. One more thing to improve is the ventillation, it gets smokey, as there is an open kitchen.

I was sceptical about this being an “authentic Italian,” restaurant. I was delighted to find that it was. The chef the first visit was from Naples and he did a good job with the food. I’ve had starters of seafood and then spaghetti bolognaise as main. The tiramisu was finished but the chef made a fresh tiramisu for my husband, which he enjoyed. On our second visit we took our daughter, keeping our fingers crossed it would be as good as before. We needn’t have worried it surpassed our expectations and was a delicious experience!! We all had starters, onion and tomato salad, vegetable soup and seafood. We then had spaghetti bolognaise, steak with pasta and a seafood risotto. Pudding and coffees followed. All of the food was fresh, hot and excellent. We were enjoying it so much I forgot to take any photos. We will return to this restaurant and hope people visit to keep a great restaurant going!

Pub atmosphere. The rooms were clean and had all the trimmings. Bathroom extras. Tea cofee biscuits etc. Compared to other establishments nearby. Full choice of breakfast included. Excellent value for money.

We visited here as a party of 6 friends last weekend and all had lovely meals. The service was great, with staff being attentive and helpful. A few of our group had pizza which everyone enjoyed, 2 had the steak which again, was loved but this wasn’t very big and so sides are a must with this (they will also do the blue, which some restaurants don’t serve) The only complaints we had as a group was that the mac and cheese sides, were not hot, and actually quite cold in the middle. We raised this and the server took it back but it was not the best. The restaurant is a beautiful setting and in a great location in the middle of the town.

No the same brilliant experience as the Galleria. Food OK but just a now normal wine bar with food. And no real atmosphere.

My main memory that i will take way from this visit to this particular Nero is the great staff who were very friendly efficient and knowledgable; plus I was served promptly given the busy nature of the shop at the time of my visit. Nero's coffee is by far the best on the British High Street.

The rudest Manager in the whole of hospitality? (Friday 21 Feb - lunchtime)

Don’t go there! This was the worst pizza I’ve ever had. When I got home and opened the box, it was completely burnt. I went back to exchange it, but the owner, who was incredibly rude and unprofessional, told me it was supposed to be like that and that I didn’t know what I was talking about. He even told me not to come back. I’ve never received such poor service for my money. I will never return to this awful place and do not recommend it to anyone!
