The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

Came for lunch. Havent been to pizza express for over 10 years as it used to be overpriced and food was average. Id love to say it had improved but not as much as you'd like. Garlic dough balls are still a massive gimmick. Probs why we were the only ones there and another couple and it was even the day they had a promo on where u got dough balls for a pound but still the place was empty. Service was average, guy was friendly enough he just looked bored and a bit disinterested. The food came out way to quick to be cooked from fresh. Pasta bowl with chicken and chorizo was ok but could've easily been made at home. Just not good enough quality to be restaurant food. Bit like other Italian chains restaurants in the city centre, all chucking out the same average food but charging over inflated prices. App was ok and we got free dough balls but then It still cost over 50 quid for two of us. Could easily spend that at an independent restaurants around the city and food cooked from scratch with love and passion put into it.

Food was cold like it had been kept in a fridge. probably the worst pizza I've ever ordered

Friendly little boozer. Hidden gem. Takeaway next door which is ideal. Support your local!

Can not fault this place in anyway shape or form, always looks after customers new or old. Food is amazing and always comes nice and warm. Spike the delivery driver is amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone

I ordered tonight and the driver didn't deliver our food and than lied about knocking the door as we have a dog and she barks at the door being knocked. I will not be going here again £30 wasted. He said that he left the food outside the door.

Ordered online, was told it had been delivered so rang up and was told it actually hadn’t left the shop yet (this was nearly an hour after ordering) then for my order to arrive to have a full English missing, fruit pot missing, and special instructions not followed so one salad box couldn’t be eaten due to allergies. Super disappointing and couldn’t have been worse to be honest. Called up to say we’re missing a full English and the guy on the phone apologised but just seemed to find it funny as was laughing the whole time. Don’t order from here.

“Had an amazing time at La strada! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the seafood Pasta, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable evening. Highly recommend!”

Went on a Thursday, around 5pm. Despite not online booking, and the restaurant having reduced capacity due to the virus, happy to squeeze us in. Quick, friendly service, drinks arrived really quickly, and food shortly afterwards. Quality was good - food tasty, hot and well presented. Portions seemed generous. We really enjoyed the four main courses we ordered, ribs, meatballs, prawn pasta and chicken carbonara Would visit again.

Absolutamente me encantó la vibra kam fue excelente en su trabajo nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos explicado sobre el emocionante menú, sin duda volveré gracias kam seguir el buen trabajo

Ordenó un Uber come para ser entregado de Frankie y Benny's, y el conductor nos dio la orden de otra persona, después de llamar y hablar con Holly ella era tan comprensiva y solucionó el problema rápidamente re haciendo nuestro pedido y pidiéndonos que vayamos a recoger, a la llegada nos ofrecieron una bebida gratis mientras esperábamos a que se empaquetara que rechazamos como queríamos llegar a casa y en reemplazo Holly nos dio una bolsa de chocolate por inconvenientes y no podía disculparse lo suficiente. Era una verdadera joya.

A very nice place to eat friendly staff Food was great reasonably priced. Great views of the sea. Very clean No need to book on this occasion just walked in found us a seat straight away

Off on an early flight…checked in…meet friends in Frankie and bennys…coffee and pastries…ran out of pastries…but Lataya was on it…up sold me muffins and eggs/bacon…then out she had only in working there 2x weeks….I’m in the trade…she should be very proud of herself….lataya…keep at it…you’ll get a pay rise! Until next time…thank you

My daughter and I have visited twice here in the last month. We love local and try to avoid chains and support local.. that being said we really enjoyed our pizza here so visited again this weekend gone. The meal deals are really good value. The older kids for £9 is ok.. but the pizza is non-existent. Literally 4 bites. My daughter is within the recommended age range and it says up to 12 year olds. The portion size on that needs to be improved. That being side, in my adult meal deal my daughter had my side as I couldnt eat my salad, pizza, side and pudding. Boxes are available to take away pizza by the way. I don’t like how you have to scan a code, order on your phone and pay that way. I appreciate there are a few that ruin it for others by leaving without paying. I have no issue paying upfront. What i don’t like is the lack of service so to speak. It feels too DIY. When i go to a restaurant you expect to be ‘served’ and waited on. Someone taking your order at the table. When you place your order on your phone it is easy enough - but it asks you to leave a tip when you order/pay. I’m not prepared to do this as i’m doing the ‘serving’ After ordering and helping ourselves to salad we had to ask for glasses to get our drinks. After eating we had to ask for desserts we ordered. So while we love the food the whole customer experience of being waited on in a restaurant has gone. So I wouldnt be happy to tip especially on arrival. Perhaps the option of ordering with the server and paying straight away rather than having to do it on a mobile. You cannot pay with cash here which is explained on arrival as well as being directed to a screen to enter number plate if you use the car park

I asked for extra strawberries n they very much did delivery whoever made my crepe I luv u this place is the best made my entire day I am so happy pls order food from this place

We came in last night to get some pizza. We were very impressed with the level of customer service. Marissa the manger was extremely polite and helpful. She directed us to the best offerers available and is genuinely a very nice person to speak to. Needs a raise. Area manager maybe?? Will be coming back.
