The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

We arrived very wet with three dogs. We had not booked but chose lunch from an extensive menu. The ambience was great, the food lovely and the service was second to none. Was so busy eating the food, forgot to take photos! Karen and Elizabeth were very attentive, friendly and efficient. Very dog friendly. One of our dogs was even allowed on the sofa !

Alfonso Gelateria was the finest gelato that I’ve ever tasted! My husband and I had just come from traveling through Italy and never found authentic gelato like we found in the heart of the Cotswolds at Alphonso’s. I had read a lot about gelato and what makes it authentic, how it is to be stored to retain the best flavors and texture and the ingredients that go into it. Alfonso’s was excellent and every category. I rarely eat any desserts, but this was worth having an every way! Thank you for doing your gelato in a traditional and pure way. You will really be missing out if you don’t stop by this gelateria in Stow in the Wold!!!!

I found this stall a couple of years ago and travel from Torbay to visit it. My favourire dish that I have tried so far is the crispy belly pork, which is just awesome. Massaman curry (peanut based) is great too. So many nice dishes.

The best porchetta panni iv ever had...full of meat and apple sauce in a crispy panini...LUSH The homemade cakes a great to

I have seen on instagram many times and follow but never been until today and what a treat their mince pies I would absolutely recommend. We also had a ham chilli cheese savoury. Very good in fact delicious, we will be back

Took lunch with my 4 year old grandson and wife on the 21/5/ in Exeter. The first impression were very “chic” venue as we hoped. The service was rather Pedestrian although ok. We ordered just one Pizza, and hot drinks, as we had planned our main evening meal already. The pro firstly: The pizza was pipping hot, and flavours were absolutely delicious! In fact, the best we’ve tasted since our New York trip in 2019 eating out in one of their finest Pizzeria’s! Cons: We were not give a sensible choice of seating with our grandchild. We were seated on bar high stools, looking out the window line abreast? We subsequently became aware of ample table seating downstairs after starting our meal. Only one tabled was occupied at the time. The Pizza was served on a platter, but no cutlery offered considering we were sharing? No serviettes were provided. No child plate offered? We had to request these items unnecessarily.... I also expected of any good Restaurant to be asked “ how we were finding our meal” as a common courtesy.  In hindsight not the place to take children I feel, but as an adult venue it’s ticks all the boxes. The Waitress clearly needed to spent more time being astute when dealing with customers, rather than socialising with bar staff..... A very nice place mildly spoilt, by disappointing customer service.

Ordered on Just eat, super fast delivery, piping hot, fresh and delicious! The value for money was outstanding, and it tasted just like authentic pizza from Italy. We had garlic cheese pizza and a Zazza. Definitely worth getting, I’d order again - so much better and cheaper than other well known pizza places (mentioning no names!)

Warm, inviting atmosphere with wonderful Italian coffee. It’s hard to resist the cannoli pastries too! A welcome addition to Henleaze Rd despite there being four other cafes nearby. Limited seating but somehow you always manage to find a chair/stool.

Stayed at Petruth Paddocks and saw that you could pre-order your pizza and specify what time. Simple idea but very effective. Unfortunately due to high demand we were unable to book a time slot. So if you going to stay then pre-book ASAP. We did do a walk in on the off chance that they had spares whi h they did. It many but enough for me and my son to enjoy their delicious and full of flavour pizza. Would highly recommend them.

Fantástico almuerzo para llevar focaccia. Elegí el relleno de ensalada caprese con prosciutto añadido. Absolutamente delicioso - casi tan bueno como conseguir esto en Italia.

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

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!

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.

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*.

My daughter and I stopped and had a coffee and snack here when passing through Devizes last Friday. I was pleasantly surprised that the coffee was of an amazingly high standard - they offer "Proper" coffee and it really was. We also had a freshly cooked snack too that was lovely. And the service was lovely, really friendly. We can't recommend The Italian Job coffee enough. 5 star plus rating.
