The best restaurants serving Italian food in Birmingham West Midlands

My only ever go to when travelling up from Essex. Every dish is delicious and the staff go above and beyond. I always request that my food is served together and had a margarita pizza, linguine drizzled in olive oil topped with parmigiano cheese side order. Chips, side salad and starter scallops with prawns, cooked to Michellin starred perfection. My Mom had the salmon main, and brother lamb shank. While is was his first visit he couldn't believe how had missed this gem of a place. We polished of the meal with two bottles of Amarone and a tiramasu with three spoons! Top notch service and food. Thank you for a sublime lunch and afternoon.

Lugar increíble y buena comida. Salimos con la familia y toda la experiencia fue fenomenal nos lo pasamos genial. Precio razonable y asequible.

Terrible experience. Came here to celebrate a birthday and was met with awful service — completely ruined the mood. Food was disgustingly salty. Never coming back and strongly advise others to stay away.

Top. Notch. Authentic. Italian Pizza!!! Can not fault this place! The pizza dough was so light, fluffy and crispy! By far the best and most authentic Italian pizza I've had from a takeaway in Birmingham. I also had a pizza from the place a few doors down on the same visit and it just did not compare. Don't waste your time or money, just go straight to Parla. They know exactly what they are doing. The tomato sauce was tangy, peppery, full bodied and packed with flavour. The cheese was just as nice and really complemented the sauce. The pepperoni slices were thick and tasty, didn't leak oil all over the pizza which made for an even more enjoyable eat. Only downside is that we ate in the car, but again that's not really a downside because it's ALWAYS best to eat a wood fired pizza straight from the over. Don't wait till you get home, just eat it!

Absolutely loved the food and service!

I have been dining at Laghis for a long time. This was probably my last time though. We were told the restaurant was closing down soon. This is a sad news for me. I have had so many nice memories of good dinner with dear friends in Laghi's.

Yes, it would be nice if you updated the timetable displayed on the internet...which mentions that the pizzeria is open until 11:30pm...;) and actually: surprise!!! it is closed from 16:00!

I love their pizzas, bit pricey but for an occasional order they're definitely worth it.

Excellent pizzas and very pleasant service.

Este es un gran lugar y muy acogedor. El chico en la caja fue muy amable y me hizo pasar un gran tiempo allí. Hay muchas opciones

I recently visited this restaurant and had a mixed experience. As someone with coeliac disease, I take gluten-free options seriously, and unfortunately, the service started off a bit shaky. The staff didn’t seem entirely confident about what was safe for me to eat, and it took a bit of back and forth to get clear answers. On top of that, we felt a little rushed while looking at the menu, being approached three times before we’d even had a chance to decide. However, as the evening progressed, things improved. The staff became more attentive and were careful to confirm what I could and couldn’t eat, often repeating that I was gluten-free to ensure there were no mistakes, which I appreciated. I was a little put off by having to sign an allergy waiver, though I understand some places have this policy. The food itself was lovely – I had the pizza, which was very tasty and clearly made with care. Dessert options were limited for gluten-free diners, but they did offer a refreshing lemon sorbet which was a nice way to end the meal. Most importantly, I didn’t become ill afterwards, which is always my biggest concern when eating out. All in all, it wasn’t perfect, but they did make a real effort to accommodate me once things got going. I'd consider giving it another try.

Food was top notch. Amongst the best Italian restaurants in Birmingham. (1) family owned, with amazing values to serve their customers (2) all food is freshly prepared at the restaurant on demand (3) catering to all kinds of dietary requirements (4) we had 4 different kinds of pastas, served with flavoursome veggies on the side - all flavours complimented each other really well. (5) the staff were welcoming, atmosphere was warm, and overall experience was wonderful.

Really Lovely and accommodating staff and brilliant food. It is a small business, so wait times can be longer when it's full, but still well worth it! Group gatherings can be a bit more difficult as we found the manager hadn't really given our requests to the staff on the day and it was a bit stressful. But the staff who were in still did all they could to help solve the situation and made it a wonderful experience nonetheless!

Great service from Olivia G and Olivia W, both girls are a credit to the company. Lovely food and experience

Disgusting. Everything was overcooked and they got my order wrong.
