The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Devon South West

Always welcoming and a favourite café when visiting Sidmouth. Excellent coffees and hearty soup of the day. Generous bowl full. Bright and big windows on a corner position for people watching. Dailly newspapers. Doggy friendly. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Very friendly and helpful couple who go above and beyond and the food is excellent would definitely recommend

Fabulous freshly cooked food, great portion sizes, always good value, service and welcome

Gina's is the best restaurant in the South West (personal opinion, I've been coming here for years!), and most definitely The Place to eat in Beer. A family owned restaurant serving up brilliant Italian and Thai dishes, there's something for everyone here. The pizzas, calzones and tiramisu are especially excellent. Booking is recommended, this popular place gets busy most evenings. If you're in the area, get to Gina's for a relaxing evening in a friendly establishment offering great food!

Clean, well presented, really Friendly staff with a good of drinks, ice creams and cakes. I went with a luxury hot chocolate and marshmallow cake, my daughter had blueberry cheesecake and milkshake made with her choice of fresh ice cream made on the premises snd my boring husband had a pot of tea, which he topped off with a not so boring banana cake. It was all delicious and the best find of the day

Delicious fresh pizza, and offer home delivery, but quite expensive. The make your own is quite good value. Usually quick delivery. Quite traditional, thin crust, nice tomato sauce and not swimming in oily cheese. Just the right balance

Whenever in Sidmouth I always visit The Cheeseboard. There is a wide range of cheeses with the staff being very knowledgeable and offer expert advice. I always come away with a whole range of cheeses and always ensure that I have a good wedge of Devon Blue. As a bonus, having tried a range of cheeses, I know what to go for when ordering online.

Friendly greeting, tiny cafe, I wouldn’t call it wheelchair accessible but then I was just using a stick. A couple of small tables and some Bench tables with barstools that had a great view of the sea. I don’t think the food overpriced for. a ‘Cumberland’ sausage sandwich as advertised. But, the sausages were not Cumberland and if they weren’t available perhaps it would have nice to have the option to pick something else. The quality of the sausages was relatively poor. When we asked on leaving what they were, we were told they were produced by their own company. That I seriously doubt. The drinks were fine and a reasonable price for the location. We probably could have done without the conversation being had about the owners housemate and his mothers mental issues. We couldn’t help but overhear because it’s a small place!

Lovely place! Great service, gorgeous food and good atmosphere. I had a gluten free pizza which is very hard to find it was absolutely delicious! Cheesy chips to die for honestly homemade chips with lots of mozzarella! We left full and happy!

Really friendly staff and local trade.

It took over half an hour for starters to turn up. Waitress realised we had not been served and checked her pad and was seen rushing to the kitchen with our order! Staff very busy having a conversation and didn't respond for a while to the bell to say the food was ready. Probably won't return as were not made to feel welcome from the onset,

Fancied trying this place for a while, we had an absolutely delicious starter of Pate, best I’ve tasted for a long time. Then we had ordered lasagne of which I can only describe as worse than a supermarket ready made! There was hardly any meat in it, too much liquid which made it a sloppy mess! I couldn’t finish it so I did complain and was given a reduction on mine! The owner was acting like a child barking at one of the staff and it was totally a very unpleasant experience! No ambiance at all. This is purely based on my opinion and experience on the evening. It was a special celebration which was ruined. I would have had a better experience in a chain restaurant! The waiters were pleasant and obviously the cooking is not down to them. Won’t be returning!
