The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

We went for lunch with friends,to La Pineta Little Castle street Truro. The food was delicious it was extremely good value everything was homemade, using genuine Italian ingredients. We had pasta, focaccia, cannoli and a wonderful selection on tasty cheeses... so many lovely flavours that we bought more to take home! The decor was fabulous throughout as you would find in an Italian restaurant. Thank you so much for such a delicious lunch - we will be back soon!

The most delicious ice cream i have ever eaten. Super friendly. If I was only allowed 1 more ice cream for the rest of my life I'm getting one here. The salted caramel one was amazing. 10/10 best ice cream ever.

The pizza here is unbelievable! Best pizza I’ve had in a very very long time, if not ever! Fresh ingredients, and such a nice base and crispy dough. Honestly; these guys have absolutely nailed it! Really nice place too, very welcoming and friendly staff. Thank you, the pizza is bang bang 😀

Admittedly we only found out about this place via their TV appearance and have only just got around to visiting now, we live over an hour away though, so that's our excuse! But every April we visit Bath for a walking event and so it was so great that they were open and still serving just before 3pm. We had the classic porchetta and it was fantastic! I don't know if they make the panini bread themselves, but it was the best I've ever had and easily as good as the filling - I've not knowingly had porchetta before so that's the best just by default! There were loads of tasty sounding things on the menu and cannoli etc... in the cabinet, which I'd love to try another time. You won't regret a visit here, and we had a warm welcome to go with it all, so overall 5/5!

As ever, Alessandro has got it right! The pizze are always great and he's always got a smile on his face. We go here regularly (pre-order and stop for a pint on the way!). I always have the carnivore (extra spicy) and the wife always has a margharita and at £18 for the two, a real bargain. He's only there Thursday, Friday and Saturday and it's always best to pre-order to ensure he hasn't run out of pizza dough! He's also in nearby Long Sutton on Wednesdays. Especially recommended

We arrived very wet with three dogs. We had not booked but chose lunch from an extensive menu. The ambience was great, the food lovely and the service was second to none. Was so busy eating the food, forgot to take photos! Karen and Elizabeth were very attentive, friendly and efficient. Very dog friendly. One of our dogs was even allowed on the sofa !

Finally a coffee got for coffee divas like us! Oat flat white made properly. Nice people - and pleasant people watching from outside table in The Arcade!

I have seen on instagram many times and follow but never been until today and what a treat their mince pies I would absolutely recommend. We also had a ham chilli cheese savoury. Very good in fact delicious, we will be back

Ordered on Just eat, super fast delivery, piping hot, fresh and delicious! The value for money was outstanding, and it tasted just like authentic pizza from Italy. We had garlic cheese pizza and a Zazza. Definitely worth getting, I’d order again - so much better and cheaper than other well known pizza places (mentioning no names!)

Absolutely amazing pizza. Like being back in Italy. The ingredients tasted really fresh and you can tell they’re of the highest quality. If you’re in the area you need to try it and if you’re not then you need to find a reason to visit.

Fantástico almuerzo para llevar focaccia. Elegí el relleno de ensalada caprese con prosciutto añadido. Absolutamente delicioso - casi tan bueno como conseguir esto en Italia.

We decided quite late in the morning to go for lunch at the bistro I was a bit worried if there would be availability for us as there was seven of us but we get there at the right time and we all had a fantastic lunch some had full breakfasts some had jacket potatoes all of which was outstanding and the staff once again was amazing x

We enjoyed one of the best meals I have ever had! The tapas were outstanding. Fantastic range of foods. We chose about a dozen different ones which were delicious and large enough for 4 of us to share. An excellent range of wines, beers, ciders and soft drinks, as well as ice creams and macarons to finish made this meal, along with the helpful and attentive service. You need to book as there are only a few tables. The deli is equally good with home cooked pastries, great coffee and well sourced drinks,meats, cheeses etc Thanks!

Tried this new cafe whilst holidaying in the local area, shared a home baked focaccia chicken sandwich which was absolutely fantastic. The bread was one of the best we’ve ever had spongy light texture with a crispy salt crust. The filling was excellent too. We enjoyed a cappuccino and a mocha which was also very good ( only slight criticism was that they were both only just hot enough we like our coffee hot) That said the food was delicious and would definitely recommend & return . Great that we could sit in with the dog too. Only wish we had room for one of the great looking cakes.

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