The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Great food, lovely staff, quick service

Had another lovely meal with friends at this fantastic restaurant in Tenterden high street. Food was excellent, service was great and was full of people enjoying chilled relaxed atmosphere for small parties and birthdays as well. Highly recommend

The food was excellent and the waitress was really nice too.

Me encantódddd la comida Es un lugar acogedor con comida increíble Habíamos ordenado mal y el personal allí fue lo suficientemente amable para cambiar el orden para nosotros Uno de los empleados dijo "no deberías comer lo que no te gusta" El personal era increíble, especialmente Isan que nos estaba ayudando junto a un joven No podemos agradecerles lo suficiente por el servicio allí.

The best pasta I've ever had outside of Italy! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and quick service too

Great location tucked away off mkt square , great space , great atmosphere even early on in the evening had a great buzz. All staff superb , attentive and informed . We asked for a slight variation from the menu and were accommodated immediately. Food was fresh and delicious. Reasonable pricing . Really top spot will be back and will encourage others to visit . Please don’t change what you have it really hits the mark .

Another fabulous lunch, the main courses were reasonably priced and a decent size portion. The Saltimbocca was especially good. The desserts were delicious, we were spoiled for choice. The owners and staff are so attentive, welcoming and friendly. The service is great. Cannot wait to return.

Excellent pasta, service and atmosphere.

I don’t usually write reviews …. But this place was just so on the mark it’d be cruel not to…..Very cosy place with a buzzing, warm atmosphere. Very kind, friendly staff with service at just the right speed - not so fast you felt so rushed but no so you felt like you were waiting too long. The pizza we had was excellent - I could watch it come out of the oven onto the plate before being served as they have an open kitchen which is always a positive sign. Once with us the food barely touched the sides it was sooo good!! Then there was the gelato……!!

Lugar ótimo com uma comida gostosa e deliciosa- trazendo o sabor da serra gaúcha !! Bom atendimento e um ambiente agradável para aproveitar a dois ou com a família!! Vale a pena e o preço é justo !!

Lovely restaurant, professional staff. welcoming, polite, great selection of lunch time menu. I can't recommend it more highly. Meals are reasonably priced and are great value for money.

Had pizza and dessert… enjoyable food, nice environment and friendly staff… easier to part in the area on main road or on side streets… Relaxed environment, and not rushed to clear the table at the end of the meal.

We spent a lovely month on Woburn green and it's fair to say that Dolce Vita was the highlight of our vacation. The staff and management are incredible and the kitchen makes wonderful and authentic Italian food. We sampled many menu items and were impressed by everything we had. Don't miss this wonderful dining experience.

Vegivores is a lovely versatile restaurant [and make great birthday cakes to order] - and not just for vegans. I've lived in the area for nearly 5 years and I've turned up my nose at vegivores for over 3 of them. The menu didn't look exiting to me as a happy meat eater. Love my steaks, burgers etc. Then, January 2024, we did Veganuary, so we tried them. And regret hit me. Why did we not try it sooner? Why did I think it wouldn't be good when every weekend it is packed? This restaurant is fantastic. Every dish is nice. We know this, because we tried pretty much every dish on the menu since. And it's healthy. This is not vegan junk food full of processed nasties and fake meats. It's vegan wholefood plant based. We all love it, including my children [10 & 15 now]. My 10 year old loves the 'boss' bowl'. My 15 year old loves the drunken tofu knots and the burrito. My favourite is the Hey Maccarito [+ jalapenos]! which is a burrito with their mac and cheese filling instead of rice. Their gnocchi are amazing and so are all their salads. You choose where you want to be on the scale of indulgent to A+ for health. There's affordable good vegetable sides [the broccoli or the medley] to mix it up. After Veganuary, we stayed vegan and so we frequent this place fortnightly on average. Either by eating in, or by getting take out [Hey Maccarito for me...]. We go there with plenty of non-vegans who really rate the food, but given meat is not a distant memory to me and I used to *really* enjoy my meat, I think I'm a fairly good judge. This year, we started ordering birthday cakes and once you start, everyone wants one for their birthday. The pic is a biscoff cake. It's a large cake so that served probably...12-18 It's my turn next and I can't wait to discuss my 'requirements' with them and see how they surprise me.

If you are in Cobham you must stop and try A Casa Restaurant- the Focaccia is amazing!! What a lovely find on a quiet Wednesday evening. I will be back with the rest of the family to try the other dishes
