The best restaurants serving Italian food in Christchurch South West

Found ourselves passing by while visiting Christchurch & decided to pop in as fancied some Deli delights that evening... WHAT A FIND!! Lovely Italian / Spanish couple serving and advising on their cornucopia of artisanal products. Whether it's sweet or savoury (our is both!) you will not be disappointed. A REAL GEM!!!!

Absolutely 💯 the best pizza in Christchurch visiting again tonight good ingredients made with ❤️

Cannot recommend this place enough, a little gem! Food, service, wine and ambience in abundance! We loved every bit of it and cannot wait to return! You really have captured a little bit of heaven!

Didn't eat! But friendly atmosphere, good beers and wines!

Our favourite cafe. The service is friendly. Great drinks, fantastic cakes & bakes etc. Theo's American pankakes are perfect. If you free there in summer, take your food and drink onto the green.

La mamma's in its new location is great. The staff are friendly. Service is always speedy. And the food has been fabulous every time we have visited

A cosy atmosphere, the best of the prezzos! The loviest staff with delicious food and beautiful decorations. Such a shame it is closing, it will be surely missed, has always been the one to go to for birthdays and special occasions! Thank you to Jane and all the staff.

We booked a table for 7 of us at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. The waiter was polite and attentive. The drinks arrived promptly. The food was delicious but took a while to arrive. I suspect that the restaurant was short-staffed because as the meal went on, it became harder to get the attention of a waiter. It was also difficult to pay. We got the bill, but had to ask to actually pay it twice. We enjoyed ourselves, but with a toddler in our party could have done with food being served more promptly.

Came here to get dinner with family, really really disappointed. What they have done is bought a load of Iceland frozen pizzas, stuck a handful of extras on the top and decided that charging £10-12 each is reasonable. Complete con operation, got “bruschetta” which was a slice of toast with cold tinned tomatoes on top which we paid >£5 for. How this place has been open for so long I have no idea, manager/owner was very brash when asked about orders, the waitresses were nice though.
