The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

At Last, after 58 years on this planet I have just given my first 10/10 for a pizza! I know shock. Ok it’s a wet Tuesday in October, it’s our 31st wedding Anniversary and I see this pizza place in the corner of my eye as we drive through braunton on our way to our holiday cottage in croyde. Give it a go I thought. Arrived at 5 when they opened. We were the only ones in..hmmmm I thought, but a fabulous welcome from a very lovely guy who makes us feel very welcome. Buys us an Anniversary drink (nice touch and thank you) I couldn’t decide what to go for. So I made up my own pizza. One half pesto based with fresh basil and the other half traditional margherita with mushrooms and olives. My hubby went for margherita with olives. Both asked for it to be well done as we like a crispy base. It arrived and the first mouthful was heaven. Cooked to perfection. Bit of crunch, bit fluffed up edges, so a little extra crunch there. Fresh as fresh and gorgeous ton]nato sauce with a gooey right amount of cheese. Topped with fresh basil. I thought the two halves would ‘bleed’ into each other, but hats off to the chef, he pulled it off. Then the pesto was fresh and zingy and I couldn’t work out which half I preferred. Both equally delicious. So a 10 out of 10 was given to the amazing chef who produced this miraculous pizza. This is just a pizza I hear you cry….NO, this was the food of gods! Simple food, cooked to perfection. Go there. EAT. Die happy! At last a proper pizza to write about. Great guys and a joyful atmosphere, more people rocked up as we dined. Asked about opening as it starts at 5pm, but looks like will change later in the year. So take the kids after school. Great alcohol free beer and coke. With the free anniversary drink and tip it came to £30. Best £30 I’ve ever spent in a restaurant. Thank you for making our Anniversry one to remember! 😄

Pizza de buen tamaño, pero por mi experiencia podría haber habido más cobertura para el precio. Me lo entregaron así que podría ser mejor tenerlo en el restaurante la próxima vez, así que no puedo juzgar completamente. Tenía buenos ingredientes.

A place with amazing food and a great atmosphere. Eating outside in the garden gave it the vacation feel. We could have been in the Caribbean or Med. There was a good variation on the menu but not too much (Fish, Pizza, Salad & Steak). Our waitress was nice, friendly and attentive. Although it was Cowes week and its in the middle of Cowes it was reasonably priced.

We were treated to a lovely mothers day lunch here so booked it for an evening with 4 of our friends. Having told them how great the food was we were expecting a good night. 2 of us had the carbonara which when it arrived was like the meat had been previously cooked and then over reheated and was too hard to eat. I put it all to the side and ate half the past when the waitress arrived I complained and was told that was how it was meant to be! I obviously told her it wasn't and she said shed mention it to the kitchen. Another friend complained that her crab pasta had next to no crab in it and was almost all pasta. For the next 40 to 45 mins nobody came near us even to offer us a drink or the desert menu needless to say we left. I really don't like leaving negative reviews and I wouldn't have if we'd been treated differently. Always better to complain when the management can at least discuss with the customer than to go away feeling like no-one was interested in our opinion.

Pure Pasta is in Saint Nicholas Market and is run by a lovely, friendly, Italian couple. The food is tasty and excellent value, whether you take away or eat inside the small unit/the couple of tables just outside. The pair of us left feeling pleasantly full and with change from £20 despite having a couple of 'starters', main meals and a can of diet coke each.

I would 100% recommend Di Nino! Cannot fault this restaurant/takeaway! Food was absolutely delicious!! Proper authentic Italian food. The pasta was beautiful! They also have a range of desserts and sweet treats that are to die for!!! Portions were very decent and very good value for money, I will most definitely be returning Thank you!

Ordered through an app - delivered piping hot and fresh and in great time. Absolutely fantastic authentic perfectly cooked stone baked pizza with plenty of toppings. DELICIOUS. Thank you.

Extremely unhelpful staff. Ordered Foccicia and turned up at their shop to collect it, but they had moved location to a completely different town miles away, without updating this online. A wasted journey from Cheltenham. So, I decided to give them another chance the following week. Made numerous phone calls to order it but nobody answered. I was never told i could have ordered it online, I was told to call. So I sent a text to ensure it was ordered. When I turned up they had no foccacia as they said they were short of staff, yet we saw numerous staff. Then they said they had a powercut the previous day. Yet I saw them taking freshly cooked trays out the oven when we were there. Being from Sicily we were really looking forward to taking our friends for there for lunch, yet as they had no lunch food left apart from cakes, we ended up eating a tesco sandwich. unprofessional to have their details out of date online and the way the manager dealt with us was really disappointing. The other server had no idea of customer service and was clueless about how to treat customers. Her attitude was terrible. When we asked for a menu we were told to just look at the couner and we can see for ourselves. We spoke with the sicilian chef before, and he was a great guy so we wanted to support his business. His staff are letting him down.

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

Brillante lugar para algunos buenos alimentos y cócteles congelados, disfrutamos de mi tiempo y sin duda recomendaría comentarios a amigos y familiares

Just had a lovely meal here. Food was fantastic, service was great. Am looking forward to coming back to try something else on the menu!

Was lovely sat in the sun with a pizza,cheesy garlic bread and a drink and the area where you sit was just so good. The pizza was delicious and had so much flavour and the coffee at Pizzalogica was made perfectly.

Delicious fresh pizza, and offer home delivery, but quite expensive. The make your own is quite good value. Usually quick delivery. Quite traditional, thin crust, nice tomato sauce and not swimming in oily cheese. Just the right balance

We sat outside on a warm summer's evening and enjoyed a delicious pizza. I had the lamb, pickle and yoghurt pizza, an unusual but delicious creation, my daughter had a margerita pizza. Both were perfect. The service was excellent and the waitress was friendly and welcoming.

Always welcoming and a favourite café when visiting Sidmouth. Excellent coffees and hearty soup of the day. Generous bowl full. Bright and big windows on a corner position for people watching. Dailly newspapers. Doggy friendly. 🇬🇧🇳🇿
