The best restaurants serving Italian food in Solihull West Midlands

I was enjoying the company of some friends from India that surprised me with a couple of vegetarian dishes ordered through Directfromchef.com. I follow a mostly plant based diet and sometimes is difficult to find good take-away dishes that are healty without forgoing taste. Well, I must say that the chickpeas were prepared in a very flavourful manner and the lentils, ohh those lentils deserve a special mention as I've never tried such an awesome combination of creaminess and spice. One of the best lentils recipes I've ever tried !!!!

Delicious food, friendly staff and great atmosphere

Easy to book. We found the staff really friendly, and the owner made us feel welcome straight away. The food tasted amazing and well presented. The lobster ravioli was delicious and the scallops were cooked to perfection! We will definitely visit again.

Eros is totally unique, an olde worlde building with 2 small staircases leading up, old beams & uneven floors, absolutely beautiful. We had Romeo & Juliet Prosecco whilst we perused the menu, which took a little while as we couldn't decide because everything sounded lovely. In the end, we chose whitebait & feta parcel, kleftico & duck breast, all of which were beautifully presented, generous & delicious. We shared the orange pie as we were full but couldn't resist the dessert as it sounded gorgeous. The service was also very good. I would definitely recommend Eros & look forward to returning. Thank you.

Enjoyed a glass of Valentine's prosecco, followed by yummy meatballs.

Not sure what's going on with this restaurant.... In the past it has generally always been very good but afraid we will not be using or recommending it to anyone in the future. Like some other reviews, we made a reservation well in advance for two people for a Saturday night. Turned up at the time booked only to find the place closed. No sign up to say why they may be closed and unable to get any reply from them when you tried to phone, not even a recorded message. They had my mobile but did not even have the courtesy to phone to say they would not be open. We were not the only people on that night to be somewhat surprised. As we arrived, a party of four also arrived to be greeted with the same frustration... Even if they were to change the way they ran their restaurant, they don't deserve the business if they treat their customers in this way. No guarantee of a booking or them even being open would be my worry! There are plenty more good eating places in Knowle - avoid this one and try one of the others.

Nice atmosphere in the restaurant and waitress was very efficient good service. Food was nice however, the quantity / ratio was not right. We ordered : Pappardelle Braised Beef Ragu (702kcal) £16.25 Braised beef slow cooked in red wine, black olives and herbs. Served with Pappardelle pasta. x2 both of the meals had only a tiny amount of beef like literally a sprinkle of beef there was not even a half of a small steaks worth between the two meals. It was stingy so won’t come back for this reason. It is a shame for them as the restaurant was also completely empty but custom is lost when you don’t get what you pay for

We went out on a team dinner. While the food was average, we had a great time thanks to Patricia our waitress who is very friendly, brutally honest and great at what she does. I don't do reviews, but she worked for it.

Realmente impresionado hoy con Zizzi Solihull. Éramos una gran fiesta de 20 personas teniendo el menú festivo de 3 platos. Agradecimiento especial a Dan y su equipo por la excelente comunicación y facilidad a la hora de reservar y hacer arreglos. Todo fue servido con prontitud y tenía un sabor fantástico y mi familia lo pasó genial. Si usted está buscando un lugar para reservar para una reunión especial, entonces le recomiendo encarecidamente que elija este encantador restaurante. Gran ubicación y ambiente.

Me and my patenter came in last Friday as a friend recommended. Did not disappoint I could honestly say it was the best pasta dish I have ever eaten! We will be retuning frequently. Waitress was also very polite and friendly ☺️

What a wonderful Italian afternoon tea with champagne! We were greeted by a lovely young waiter who showed us to our table which was laid out ready for us with a crystal water decanter and matching glasses, beautiful yellow and white teacups, saucers and side plates, the cutlery was a good quality and all matching. The champagne cork popped, and we were served with a glass each of crisp dry champagne....no Prosecco here, this was the real stuff! The menu was explained to us and the food was freshly made and absolutely delicious, just so different to the usual sandwiches that you get with an afternoon tea. We each received our own teapot of hot tea. The cakes were all so different and bite size and filled with chocolate or custard plus there was scones, jam and cream of course. The service was outstanding, and it was so nice to have the same young man looking after us for the whole experience, his manners were impeccable, and he is a credit to the restaurant.

Pedí una Marinara (pizza con solo tomate) ya que tengo alergia a los lácteos. Me enviaron una margarita que estaba etiquetada como Marinara en la caja. Llamé al restaurante y acordaron enviar una pizza nueva en 45 minutos. Los llamé después de 1 hora y 20 minutos de espera y no hubo respuesta y fue directo al contestador automático. Muy decepcionado, he estado yendo aquí con mi familia desde la apertura! ¡Ahora se va hambriento como en todas partes!

Awful experience. The restaurant wasn't anywhere near full yet service was extremely slow. We waited 45 minutes for our food. When the food came it was terrible. The mozzarella sticks were soaking in oil and made me feel sick, the pasta was runny and soggy, and the pizza looked like a children's pizza and tasted average. I don't usually have negative experiences at restaurants and am usually understanding that staff have a lot to do and there can be issues sometimes, but this was honestly awful. When we raised the issue one staff member was very rude. The restaurant also felt run down and dirty. Food on the floor and on seats.

Prezzo and managers Can't stand cheap food over priced for everything I will be not going to any other Prezzo in my life hope they all shut down! Can't call it a restaurant! I will be happy to leave you no star

Garlic bread with cheese was tiny & not worth nearly £7, only 2 slices with hardly any garlic or cheese. Pizza lacked enough topping & drinks expensive. Won't be back
