The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

The venue is underwhelming, it's underground and quite musty. The food can be really good, when they try.

Great friendly service, our pizzas were so undercooked that they were practically inedible

Classic Italian restaurant, great service and lovely food

There are a few tables outside 😊

The best restaurant I've ever been to the staff are unberlievably nice and the food is immaculate. The food always come out at the perfect time even when the place is packed. Every time ive gone, the staff have remembered me and my patner which makes the experience 10x more enjoyable as they make you feel so welcome. Their food is very nice especially the soup starter.

Great evening once again! Met up with friends just before Christmas, great food, all freshly cooked and reasonable prices. The staff were excellent, polite and friendly. The house red was good and went down well too!

Food ok, although I found the linguine a little tasteless, but the restaurant was very cold as was the service. It was a Monday night, only a few tables filled, but it seemed that they were keen to close up despite it being about 8pm. Never had a bill so quick.

Great service, delicious food and drinks. Reccomend cod starter, pesto pasta and crumble. Tangerine and pickled pear juice. Fast friendly service. Clean and pleasant restaurant. Good for groups and couples. ☆☆☆☆☆

We tried the restaurant for lunch and were not disappointed. The food was good and the staff was very nice and friendly. Great coffee and free limoncello.

So very sad to hear that Massimos has closed. We have spent many happy times there, with lovely food. We are left with our memories, and offer our good wishes to all the family in any future endeavours. Tim and Janet.

Really disappointing meal, when we arrived we were asked if we had booked we had but it wasn't there don't think it mattered though. We were sat by the window which was a little cold and we felt a bit forgotten about. I think we waited about 20 minutes to ask what drink we wanted they then came fairly quickly. Menu looked promising with lots of choice. Had garlic bread with cheese to start, didn't really taste of garlic and the base tasted cheap and premade. This came about 40 minutes into the meal This wasn't a good omen for the pizza we had a four cheese and a picante, the cheese tasted good on the four cheese but the tomato sauce was lacking in flavour and it had the same nasty base. The picante and a spicy chilli next to it on the menu but had some tiny flecks of chilli in it and a pathetic amount of pepperoni. Our friends had pasta and didn't enjoy that either. It took about an hour to get to the point when the mains came out and the restaurant was hardly full. When the owner took the plates we asked for the bill but 20 minutes later that hadn't come so we walked up ourselves and paid. Didn't tip which is the first time in ages. Would not return, felt abandoned in the conservatory area poor service and below average food.

We had 2 great evening meals at la bocca, staff were excellent and friendly and the food was also excellent we would highly recommend this place

Came here to try out the ice cream. Had vegan chocolate, absolutely delicious. Nice that there was seating and the staff were super friendly. Would definitely go back to try other flavours.

1.after not having breakfast because I was excited to having our special anniversary lunch. So disappointed!!It was an awful veggie meal. Didn’t eat my bruschetta.Slice of bread with beef chopped tomatoes. Main meal worse. A truffle resotto. A few mushrooms and rice over cooked with that test of vegetables oil. Could not eat it awful.

Vinieron aquí por casualidad en una noche de domingo y se sorprendieron con la calidad de la comida y el tamaño de las porciones. Los entrantes y el plato principal estaban deliciosos y aunque mi esposa no podía comer toda su pasta, proporcionaron felizmente un cartón para llevar para las sobras. Muy recomendable
