The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cotswold South West

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!!!!

Great visit, service was excellent. Food selection and quality was very good. Prawn starter was especially yummy. We will be visiting again!

We had a great experience! The staff members are friendly. The owner is very accommodating and making sure that every customers are being attended properly. One more thing; they allow dogs to come in and offer water for them straight away. Fab! The food are definitely lovely and tasty. Me and my boyfriend certainly recommend this restaurant as the taste of the food is very authentic. The atmosphere is magneficent!

Brilliant food! Really good value for money; friendly staff and great service. We'll come back here again. Highly recommend

My Birthday Surprise. 14 family members from 7 to me at 70. Food was fantastic I had the Salmon Mediterraneo, the Steak was Lush I am told and the Pasta was pretty good as well, the children of course thrilled to have Pizza and chips. The staff were amazing and attended at a pace that left us all time to relax and enjoy the evening. Would highly recommend

A lovely spot for anyone craving authentic Italian food. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The menu offers a great variety of classic Italian dishes, all made with fresh ingredients. The pasta is delicious and cooked to perfection, while the pizza has a crispy crust and great toppings. The wine selection is also impressive, with several Italian options to choose from. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a nice meal, “Casa la Cucina Italiana” is a wonderful choice. Highly recommended!

Delicious as always! Thank you x

We arrived a little early so we had a drink at the bar. Our bartender was very helpful and nice. When our table was ready we had prompt service. Dinner was delicious we had the wagyu burger and haddock. We had a lovely visit and our waitress Adele was wonderful. We really enjoyed chatting with her and she was very kind and attentive.

Had the most gorgeous meal! I had yummy prawns to start with and their festive pasta was absolutely stunning! Really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go there again! 😊

What a fabulous and unexpected find in Bourton-on-the-water. Impromptu lunch…. absolutely delicious and charming service!
