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!!!!

Really enjoyable lunch. The wide variety of dishes on offer made it difficult to decide what to choose. DSucj a nice problem to have! The chicken in lemon sauce was really tasty. This was our first visit but it will not be the last.

fantastico ..the quality of the ingredients top notch ...the hosts superb and the wine list carefully selected ..little gem no to be missed if you are in the area...

Friendly staff, good food, nice place to sit - a pleasant garden in the summer as a bonus.

Pizza buonissima.. come in italia! e detto da due italiani significa che è davvero squisita! Personale gentile ed educato :)

Restaurant doesn't look as nice in real life as on the pictures. Ordered, had the calamari, was like rubber. Sausage pasta was bland with hardly any sausage overcooked pasta. Bolognese sauce tasted odd like it had cinnamon or something in it. Rosemary bread was the only quality item ordered. Service average to poor.

Came for lunch - great selection, friendly and helpful staff, lots of options (including gluten free). All came quickly and generous portions. Very tasty too!

Do not wish this place on anyone. Was treated terribly and forgot about, just an all around bad experience. Support a local business in the area and not this corporate owned spot that does not care about your experience.

I am a return customer. I can’t believe a Wednesday dinner took me 2 hours. I waited for my food for over 1 hour, ridiculous. I will never return again.

Incredible service by Anna & Jose their recommendations were perfect, I had the steak done to perfection my husband had the garlic prawns and Pork Belly great combination. Very dog friendly our boys were allowed to relax under the table with no stress. We have booked to come back tomorrow. This really is the to to Place in the Town.
