The best restaurants serving Italian food in Plymouth South West

I found this stall a couple of years ago and travel from Torbay to visit it. My favourire dish that I have tried so far is the crispy belly pork, which is just awesome. Massaman curry (peanut based) is great too. So many nice dishes.

By far the best Italian restaurant in Plymouth, if you're looking for an authentic Italian experience (both in terms of food & the restaurant's atmosphere!) No other Italian restaurant that I've tried in Plymouth personally has even come close to replicating authentic Italian food like the food that they serve in Positano! The quality of the food is unmatched, and I am yet to try a dish that I didn't enjoy; it's very rare to find Italian food of this standard in Plymouth so it's no wonder that this restaurant is so popular & highly rated! A very nice touch is that they give you free bruschetta before you have your meal, and it's the best bruschetta I've ever had! The portions are huge so make sure you're hungry! Most of the pasta dishes I've tried have come piled high on the plate, and the Calzone was absolutely enormous! The prices are also very reasonable, and you definitely get your money's worth with the quality of the food & large portion sizes The atmosphere is cosy & welcoming, and they play a good mix of Italian-feeling music at a comfortable volume that doesn't inhibit your ability to have a good conversation with friends and family over your meal The staff are also very friendly & accommodating, which adds to the experience Booking a table can sometimes be a bit difficult because of how popular the restaurant is, especially on weekends but it's well worth the effort to do so!

Visited without booking and luckily they had room for our group of 8, and there was plenty of variety on the menu to suit us all. I opted for the vegetarian stilton pasta, as I absolutely adore blue cheese. My husband chose the seafood pizza and we shared a side of nachos. We enjoyed our meals and the service was swift and friendly. Good options for vegetarians.

A first visit and dubious due to previous reviews we judge as we find. Prebooked, arrived ten minutes early. We’re not greeted or checked in just walked past a couple of times by a member of staff then eventually waved at and pointed to a table. About another ten minutes and we were given menus. The table wasn’t clean or set. 35 minutes after our arrival the waiter arrived to take our order. A further ten minutes and our drinks arrived, wine poured and splashed over the table. The bottle slammed into the cooler gave the impression that the staff member wasn’t happy. Starter eventually arrived, Grilled Halloumi, cold. Melanzane alla Parmigiana hot tasty served in a chipped bowl. Mains, spaghetti bolognaise okay, about the same as I could cook. Saltimbocca, Veal with Parma ham and baby mozzarella. No sign of the mozzarella and fortunately the waitress noticed how tough the veal was that she brought a steak knife. Veal smothered in Cayenne pepper. Busy but lacking in atmosphere. Some staff attempted to save the day but the visit was lost. We ate as we were hungry and it was late in the day. The kitchen /staffing needs some serious sorting. Would we go again NO. Would we recommend this place NO

Great food, good for lunch. Better when it’s quiet and we prefer booth tables that are sometimes available. Ordered arancini, rustica pizza and cheesecake.

Staff were friendly, but let down by gross incompetence within their team. Note, the restraunt was no more than one third full. After 45 minutes our starters arrived, with the unwelcome news that our main courses were also ready and did we want them all together. No we didn’t and we were assured they would be remade. A further 45 minutes passes and our, presumably, original main courses arrived. Two lukewarm pasta dishes and a burnt pizza, a sheepish looking waitress declares these will be on the house. Food was edible and my son ate his burnt pizza. We also had a birthday voucher for £15, so the whole experience of dinner for three cost £30. However, it was nothing like the pleasant evening out we had planned. We will be striking this place from our list of eateries.

Bella Italia ya es un conocido que debes comer donde quiera que vayas. Pero este tiene el personal más amable y agradecido de todos los tiempos, particularmente Natalia, es muy amable, atenta y elegante. Ella se asegurará de que disfrutes tu comida y de que no falte nada; además, ¡siempre tiene una sonrisa en su rostro!

Maria is the best. Excellent service and pizza. The best pizza I have had in England Perfect host Maria treated us so well and food was Delishous. Thank you Maria. Thank you Angelo Pizza best in England. 10/10

Acabo de volver de vacaciones y quería un menú de 3 platos con una buena relación calidad-precio al final de un largo día de viaje. El personal estaba por cerrar pero eran más que dispuesto a permanecer abierto y luego nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. las porciones buen tamaño y una excelente relación calidad-precio

Pizzas are so tasty! Considering how popular they get at lunch time, the staff are all really quick and friendly. Prices are also pretty good.

Excellent staff, very good food and speedy service. We went back twice. Good location too.

Legitimately the worst pizza I have ever eaten... Granted, this food was ordered via Deliveroo however it took 3 hours to arrive... 3 hours!We ordered the pepperoni pizza, sharer garlic bread and a child's Bolognese... The pizza was burnt on one side, raw on the other and had not even been cut and the cheese tasted like plastic. The garlic bread also had not been cut and tasted like cardboard. The pasta was blatantly old and not fresh as well as being bland and overcooked. I honestly will never eat food from this restaurant ever againThe only saving grace is that we were issued a full refund...

excellent service. lovely tasty food. would recommend. thanks.

Friendly little boozer. Hidden gem. Takeaway next door which is ideal. Support your local!
