The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly South West

This is my go-to place for lunch. It has excellent coffee (lavender latte) is my favourite and a great selection of toasted sandwiches and wraps for lunch (all vegan). On this occasion, I had the Smoky Mountain grilled sandwich - super tasty with a nice mix of textures. There is always homemade cake. This time it was Biscoff cake and Bakewell tart. I had both because I love Biscoff and the Bakewell tart is oh so good, even the jam is homemade. I love eating outside, if the weather is bad, there is a small, well-furnished caravan, Betty, you can relax in.

We went for lunch with friends,to La Pineta Little Castle street Truro. The food was delicious it was extremely good value everything was homemade, using genuine Italian ingredients. We had pasta, focaccia, cannoli and a wonderful selection on tasty cheeses... so many lovely flavours that we bought more to take home! The decor was fabulous throughout as you would find in an Italian restaurant. Thank you so much for such a delicious lunch - we will be back soon!

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 !

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.

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.

The cakes are too die for. Lucy is the best when it comes to cakes and the coffee makes a change as it's just good old fashioned filter coffee in a cafatier. No noise of coffee machine. It's light and airy and a great place to socialise

I visited Greg's Bites with my granddaughter, I had dirty fries and a burger and she had a pizza. The portions were so huge we ended up sharing and still couldn't finish it. It was so delicious I ended up taking a couple of pizzas with me later that day when I went to visit my other grandchildren and we have all agreed that this is exactly what I will do every time I visit. Definitely the best around!

Highly recommend. Without a doubt the best burger in Newquay and the staff were very friendly. Will be back soon.

What a shame! Very last serving on Sunday 2 March. The place was lovely. The staff were welcoming despite being late with an extra guest. The food was absolutely amazing. Faultless - loved everything about this place ❤️

We made the 40 minutes drive to The Cornish Italian having been very impressed by what the website offered on a Saturday night. We were a table of six. Table booked at 7.15pm. On arrival we were told that the majority of the starters were unavailable. So no burrata and no stracciatella. Starters available were focaccia and sourdough. The sourdough came with what appeared to be chunks of cheddar drizzled with balsamic. That was the starter choices. The website states pizzas on Friday and Saturday nights, with 4 teenagers at the table we great! No pizzas just 5 pasta dishes. These were all the same pastas with a variation of sauces. The pasta was good and authentic but the lack of availability on the menu on a Saturday night was disappointing. I won’t rush back.

Spires Cafe is run by apprentices from Truro College. I took my mother here for a coffee and we were also tempted by the lovely cakes on display. It's clean, tidy and good value. My hot chocolate was excellent and the cakes were so tasty. Good for a quick visit whilst shopping.

Such friendly staff, cool interior design and the pizza was one of the tastiest freshest meals I’ve had in a while. Would highly recommend

I came here with a friend and had the best Italian food. We had the seafood platter. It was amazing. Lovely selection of seafood beautifully cooked. The scallops were incredible, as for the squid pure perfection. We ordered a Sardinian bottle of red, which was delicious. Service was very professional and friendly. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Will definitely be going again.

Incredible food and such friendly quirky vibe! Highly recommend giving this place a visit, we were recommended it from a local bar and we were not disappointed. It’s not often you get food to such a high standard, love the ‘for a table’ style of ordering gives you a chance to try a range of food just gutted I forgot to take photos! We look forward to visiting again.

Honestly one of the most delicious pizzas I’ve ever had, the toppings were incredible, hot chilli honey and pepperoni. We had 2 pizzas and both were spectacular, highly recommend.
