The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

This restaurant has become the go-to place for my wife and me when we want to treat ourselves. Today (20 Sept) we enjoyed lunch. I had Pollo al Funghi e Crema and my wife had Anatra Scottate, we followed that with a lemon Sorbet. My wife enjoyed a glass of Merlot and I, as I was driving, had a tonic water followed by tea (for her) and double expresso (for me). Our meals were beautifully cooked and presented. The service from our waitress Michela was given with grace and charm. She was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Our fellow diners included a family group, with well behaved children, couples and small groups. There was an authentic Italian atmosphere to go with the authentic Italian meal. Lunch was a thoroughly pleasurable experience at a very reasonable price. I recommend this restaurant without reservation.

Our favourite cafe. The service is friendly. Great drinks, fantastic cakes & bakes etc. Theo's American pankakes are perfect. If you free there in summer, take your food and drink onto the green.

can't fult this restaurant. very friendly, very helpful. the food was amazing. it's very clean and tidy.

Perfect place for work, study, drinks, dining, and parties, especially with Layla as your host, it can never go wrong.

This place has gone down lately. Service slow and awkward. Food very humdrum. Would not allow own bottle of non-alc wine despite them not having any (in the end gave in for a grudging £5 corkage - which we offered anyway). One of the 4 diners could not eat the ravioli as it was rubbery and the cheese inside not at all melted - no discount given nor apology. A great shame as this used to be a nice neighbourhood restaurant.

Fabulous date night with lots of delicious food - especially loved the white pizza (balsamic onions were genius!), courgette fritters, garlic bread & tiramisu- such a great vibe, attentive staff - supper accommodating and really lovely view overlooking the garden.

The best Italian in Kingswood, always great food and friendly service.

Lovely staff and excellent food . Every member of staff was polite and friendly ,super efficient service. All the dishes were delicious and very good value at lunchtime particularly . Will definitely visit again . Chipping Sodbury is very lucky to have this restaurant !

I found a huge dead fly in my pasta dish. I politely took it back and they said they’d make me a new one, however I didn’t eat much of it as I was put off. They then kept it on the bill so I politely asked if it could be removed and the server went to get his manager. The manager came back and said “on this occasion I will remove it as you were a nice table” - implying if I’d been rude about it, not a good table or it happens again, they won’t remove it off the bill. He did not apologise to me at all, instead made out like he was doing me a favour and walked away. I won’t be eating here again.

Great atmosphere, the food and service was excellent and quick even though we were having a late lunch . The service was not rushed at all. House wine and pizza and Tiramisu really good . Definitely go again thank you

I hear great things but even though they say they deliver, when I ring they always say don’t ! (Even though I live in Wells.) generally friendly.

What a gem of a pub- we were visiting Moretonhampstead and needed some lunch and happened on The Horse. The lovely landlady was quick and efficient with our drinks - beer for the boys and coffee for me, and then with our food order. We only had an hour's parking, but our stone baked pizzas and omelette arrived super quickly and were absolutely delicious. Clean and comfy loos too! Would definitely recommend - wish we lived closer.

Very good Italian restaurant. The food and service was first class.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Only down side (and this is me being very picky) toilets are very small and the noise the chairs can make on the tiled floor

I love this place. Although we don't live locally whenever we are visiting the area we always pop in for a crepe or Ice cream. It's all made freshly and on the premises.
