The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

Warm welcome and delicious Italian food. Really enjoyed our evening dinner. Could not fault the customer service and more importantly the food really worth every penny.

I found this lovely little restaurant by chance on a quick web search on an overnight visit to Bristol. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and good staff who have achieved the right balance of attentiveness without being intrusive. The starters were all very good but a particular mention to the arancini which were delicious and had to be shared. The main courses were likewise very satisfying. My only regret is that we don't live closer, as I would happily visit often.

Made a special journey to this brewery, in January after checking their webdite , which said they were popen , only to find it closed . Why is the website not updated.

Ordered a pizza from this place last night. Absolutely delicious! Very authentic, it arrived super quick and loaded with toppings. Would definitely recommend this, if you are looking for a nice authentic Italian pizza. Thank you! Will be back again! :)

Genuinely good pizzas, great service they gave a free tiramisu and sang happy birthday for me, good music 5 stars

Came here for our anniversary and the staff really went all out, free prosecco and lovely chocolate cake at the end. Food was fantastic would definitely recommend to anyone. Thankyou

My friend and I visited this establishment and had a wonderful time. The servers were very nice, and even gave us lots of extra time when we couldn’t decide on our order (my friend, not me). I got the cannelloni and my friend got the meat pizza (with a complicated name). I rated mine 8/10- it was very nice but I would have liked a little more tomato sauce. My friend rated it 6/10- it had a nice base but was a bit sparse on the toppings (more cheese and tomato please)! We got free water in a fancy bottle which was good. Overall, a lovely lunch.

First class meal celebrating our wedding anniversary’ Lovely atmosphere. Friendly service and a shout out to Jodie our waitress! Food was piping hot and delicious’ Can’t wait to go back! Thank you to all the staff.

We love visiting here...it must be monthly if not more 😂 always friendly staff and great food.

Good food and close to the Torquay harbour. Aggie is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. One of the 3 favourite places to eat out for both Andrew and myself.

Nice quiet Italian restaurant near the centre. Food was amazing. It was probably the best swordfish dish (as daily special) I have ever had — fresh taste of fish was kept, mixed with suitable flavour of tomato. The side mushrooms were also delicious. Enjoyed every second! A bit expensive though, but never mind as you would have such an experience. Added: I went another time and tried the monkfish, which is another daily special and is also good, although I like the swordfish better. The side potato is perfectly salted, and the Crème Brûlée is very creamy. Added again: One of the best Carbonara I’ve had outside Italy. The starter garlic bread with tomato sauce (basically Margarita) is already a meal portion, and it is very tasty.

Came here for a nice meal with friends. The friends were great... meal, not so much. We ordered the antipasti (£8.50) and requested that it was vegetarian plus the anchovies, expecting a range of tasty pickled vegetables for the vegetarian bit. We couldn't quite believe what was brought to the table. Yes a small bowl of anchovies, 6 slices of bread, a dish of butter... and 6 very ordinary pitted olives. When nothing else came, we queried it and was told 'no, that's it'. A complete joke, but at least the restaurant had the decency to reduce it to £5 when then bill came. The main courses were, at best, very ordinary. The pizza was doughy and chewy (ive had better from Dominoes), the pasta dish was achingly dull, and the salad (when the correct one was served at the second attempt) was thrown together with very average ingredients. I can only assume that the chef responsible for all the 5-star reviews was on a break, and replaced by someone who has never been to Italy. I eally don't like writing poor reviews, but then I also don't like going for a rare meal out with friends (normally super positive), and us all feeling let down. The waitress was lovely and did her best in a tricky situation... but the signs were there early that things weren't right, so the manager or chef should have come to the table.

Bland. If you like bland food, this is the place to be. Dated surroundings, seriously in need of a lick of paint. Wouldn't recommend or go back

Brilliant food! Really good value for money; friendly staff and great service. We'll come back here again. Highly recommend

We came here on a Wednesday evening without a booking we were seated immediately as we were greeted by the door which was already such a lovely welcome. There is so so much choice!! There’s a choice for everyone we had two starters, mozzarella in Carrozza and melanzane Alla parmigana as well as a cheesy garlic bread it was delicious I couldn’t even get a photo as we just devoured it instantly we especially loved the napolitana dip with the fried mozzarella we even dipped our garlic bread into it😍for mains my boyfriend had a pizza quatro formaggi it had the perfect crispiness on the outside and the soft dough in the middle loaded with toppings, I had the penne con funghi e pollo it had a creamy sauce which was perfect with the mushrooms, there were different varieties of mushrooms inside and the chicken was perfectly cooked! We didn’t manage to finish everything so we took the leftovers home and had it the next day at work (it tastes just as good if not better the next day😍) we also ended up having dessert even though we were very full I went for profiteroles which had a very generous coating of chocolate on top and my boyfriend had a creame brûlée which was from the specials board both tasted amazing just like the whole meal we were offered coffee and drinks at the end however we don’t drink coffee so we didn’t try it but we honestly had an amazing experience the two gentlemen waiting that night were ever so helpful as we had a taste card and I didn’t realise I had to book and I had to tell them about it but they were very generous to still give us the discount but we would have honestly been happy to pay the full amount and even more as this tasted exactly how it really tastes in Italy so thank you so much again and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
