The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

We had our wedding reception at the Italian Villa at the end of July and I could not recommend this venue enough. The grounds, the food, location, everything was perfect and I didn't think having the perfect wedding was possible. The staff ensured that the wedding ran smoothly - they went above and beyond to make our day perfect, anything we asked through the booking process to the day itself was more than we expected. We came to the venue with a few extra bits to decorate some parts ourselves but Bianca took the items we brought and told us go and relax, and on seeing it the next day was just amazing how she decorated the room. Bianca really stood out to us and genuinely went out of her way to make our day amazing. The groom party was Italian and very much into their food, we received so many comments on how amazing the food was and it genuinely was so so good. A lot of guests commented on how lovely the bar staff were. Everyone at the Italian Villa were so positive and friendly. The grounds at the Italian Villa are incredible and we managed to take some lovely photos. Thank you to all those who made our day special ✨

I do not understand why this place always seems to be empty when you go past. We decided to try it out. Food, service and price all superb. We had the special platter to share between the 2 of us and the food tasted outstanding and the presentation was spectacular. I will be recommending this place to my friends and family and hopefully this place gets more custom that it deserves.

Really thankful to the chef who stayed open for us and cooked us delicious burgers!! When we turned up we didn’t realise it was closing time. The chef stayed open and cooked us the most delicious burgers and fires!! My friend doesn’t like burgers so the chef made my friend her own recipe of dirty fries. Will defo be going back!! 10/10

The pizza was amazing a vast variety of flavours even on the side u got a desert menu I highly recommend this place for pizza and a pint

Ahora llamado el Pequeño Italiano, dirigido por una pareja encantadora, la comida era buena y aunque estaban ocupados la espera para la comida no fue muy larga, agradable ambiente acogedor, muy bien decorado pequeño restaurante. Los precios de Southbourne eran muy razonables y porciones saludables. La licencia sin alcohol no fue una ruptura del trato, ya que hay una cooperativa casi al lado y el cargo por descorche de restaurantes es de solo £ 3. ¿Volvería a visitarme? sí

Amazing pizza, perfect dough. The atmosphere and service were great too and staff seemed happy. Will return when next in Bristol.

Lovely pleasant staff in this spotlessly clean Italian cafe. The coffees and hot chocolate very good as were the pastries and focaccia bread. They have a good selection of light meals which we didn’t try but other peoples looked very interesting. Would definitely return if in the area.

Ordered on Uber eats, driver cancelled on me twice which meant order took over an hour. The restaurant called me and apologised and the staff were absolutely lovely and offered to remake the food which was very kind of them. They then wrote a lovely apology message on the box and sent both the original pizza and the new pizza they cooked which was very kind of them. Pizza was also amazing best I have ever had!! Thank you!

Greek salad, Halloumi burger, Double Burger, sweet potatoe fries were all absolutely fab! Will definitely ordering a second meal, delivery was great, hot food too!

We went here on Valentine’s Day staff were great and could not do enough for us and the food was excellent. We will definitely be going back

Had a lovely meal with a little live opera. Food and service is great. Plenty of seafood if you wanted it.

Best experience, the food was amazing, the place had good vibes all about it. The value for food is incredible. You must book a table.

Always a lovely welcome on arrival. Not one bad table in the restaurant. All the staff from kitchen porter to the owner Angelo are friendly and attentive and nothing is ever too much trouble. A five star review every single time we visit. Highly recommend

My parents and I regularly visit Pino’s for lunch. The food is excellent and the staff are very polite and attentive
