The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

We decided quite late in the morning to go for lunch at the bistro I was a bit worried if there would be availability for us as there was seven of us but we get there at the right time and we all had a fantastic lunch some had full breakfasts some had jacket potatoes all of which was outstanding and the staff once again was amazing x

Tried this new cafe whilst holidaying in the local area, shared a home baked focaccia chicken sandwich which was absolutely fantastic. The bread was one of the best we’ve ever had spongy light texture with a crispy salt crust. The filling was excellent too. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a mocha which was also very good ( only slight criticism was that they were both only just hot enough we like our coffee hot) That said the food was delicious and would definitely recommend & return . Great that we could sit in with the dog too. Only wish we had room for one of the great looking cakes.

We enjoyed one of the best meals I have ever had! The tapas were outstanding. Fantastic range of foods. We chose about a dozen different ones which were delicious and large enough for 4 of us to share. An excellent range of wines, beers, ciders and soft drinks, as well as ice creams and macarons to finish made this meal, along with the helpful and attentive service. You need to book as there are only a few tables. The deli is equally good with home cooked pastries, great coffee and well sourced drinks,meats, cheeses etc Thanks!

Sometimes when eating on your own for what ever reason - it can be difficult to find a place where you are made to feel very welcome. Sam is an amazing hostess - Alan is a brilliant Wine Waiter - certainly knows his stuff. Great Food - superb friendly atmosphere - and in these uncertain times a rare gem all within the Gov Guidelines. Plenty of parking available and a luvverley garden to look out onto. I can highly recommend this venue. 5*.

Very friendly and helpful couple who go above and beyond and the food is excellent would definitely recommend

Great place to take the kids to play in the park with the massive added benefits of plenty of seating and a great cafe to grab a latte, been a few times and always a pleasant experience

Great Greek restaurant authentic atmosphere took us back to holidays in the Greek Islands. Greek music (not too loud!) and excellent Greek food. If you have ever been on holiday to Greece you need to visit this restaurant

Great artisan pizzas and happy for you to add various items. You can supersize the pizza and even have 2 halves different flavours. Roasted vegetables with extras such as black truffles from Perugia, or a meaty one with extra prosciutto. Wonderfully friendly staff. I look forward to returning soon! Not really a hidden gem, but they don't really shout their presence and well worth the trip up the road to get here.

We so hope this delightful couple survive in the very competitive sphere of Cheltenham eateries. They more than deserve their place in the list of "must go to" restaurants. It's not a see and be seen place, but if you love good Italian cooking, you will be happy to find this place.

Delicious freshly cooked authentic tasting food.. totally recommend. They’re meal deals are wonderful too!

Another excellent stay at the guesthouse. Very good and helpful hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The food is out of this world, both breakfast and evening meal with a very extensive menu. The rooms are of a very high standard, beautifully fresh and clean. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will certainly stay here again when visiting friends in the area

Muy buena pizza italiana, Francesco es muy amable. Buen café y pasteles. La ubicación es buena, buena para una pareja o para un grupo de amigos.

I was fortunate as the much maligned “Grumpy “ landlord was in fine form & most convivial. The hospitality was first rate, the premises excellent with good beer & even the guard-dog demanded attention & a belly rub. I would thoroughly recommend this venue. Only negative was the entertainment; England v Scotland which was pants !

Food amazing, staff attentive but not over the top, check backs done after every course. Approximately 8 tables you will need to book, we went Friday night and they had to turn people away. A hidden jewel
