The best restaurants serving Italian food in Stoke-on-Trent West Midlands

What a treat it was to visit this wonderful little stall. Lydia, the lady who served us was lovely and friendly and took the time to explain how the gelatos are made. I tried a few and they were delicious. The banana is so flavoursome but my favourite has to be the raspberry. As we had already eaten we didn’t get to try the artisan breads an coffees, but there will be a next time! Well worth a visit. 😊

Ok let's get right into the good part. THE FOOD. It is amazing, while i've only tried the pizza and the burgers, ive heard that the other food is good too! The prices are a tiny bit expensive, but it's worth it, getting you full after just the burger or the pizza. The burgers are messy, but delicious. The pizzas are big yet full of flavour. They're so good. The bad part is the dining area. It's alright, but some flaws. The kids area is meh. Needs to be improved a bit. The actual dining area is a bit weird with the floor. In the middle of the dining area, the floor is lowered by a step. And one table and chairs are close to it, so someone could move the chair a bit back and they'll fall. But in general, I recommend this place for couples, families and friends. And if you want to just get a pizza and go, you can. If you have to go but you haven't finished your food, you can ask for a box to take it home. Hell, if you don't want to go to the place but want your food, you can order online! The people who work there are super nice people. Thanks for reading.

Delicious food, will definitely be ordering again! Good delivery time and good size portions.

Thank you so much Emir Maitre D and Your Team for a wonderful Family Evening. Superb ambience Fabulous Customer Service and Truly Scrumptious Food. Very reasonably priced delicious food. Excellent presentation. Great selection of Drinks and Cocktails.

Dropped in on a Sunday evening, on spec. We were welcomed warmly, and taken into the main dining room, which was filled with a large party of young families - the children were pretty well behaved (well done to the parents) but there was louder than average noise and kerfuffle. There were tables available in the quieter dining area...... The menu looked very enticing, with many classic Italian dishes. We eventually plumped for bruschetta alla Romana and linguine alla marinara. Both dishes were tasty and well prepared, although it was odd to have prawn heads in the linguine which had not had a relationship with the (frozen) prawns that lay with them! It would have been nice to have had some recognisable calamari as well. However, the sauce was very good and the dish tasted good too. And then to dessert - the millefoglie was not as described, and more closely resembled a custard slice than a traditional Italian millefoglie. It was pleasant enough, however. The Italian cheeseboard, which promised gorgonzola, pecorino, parmesan and cheddar delivered stilton, red Leicester, Wensleydale and cranberry and Wensleydale and apricot. There was a mountain of rocket in the middle, a plethora of cheese biscuits, and a pot of carelessly splatted margerine. No crostini. No coulis. Trades description issues, methinks. Lovely cherry cocktail and a lovely glass of pinot grigio. Lovely young staff, all of whom could do with a bit of training, just to help them for the future. This could be a seriously good restaurant, but the owners need to look at how they train and manage their staff and to what extent the chef can deliver the dishes that are on the menu if the restaurant is going to reach a higher level. Would we come back - yes, because we can see some potential here.

I went here months ago and kept going past and it seamed that it was always closed but I have found out that they are CLOSED MONDAY & TUESDAY and OPEN the rest of the week which I am so happy Called in there 7 November 2024 for pasta dishes for the wife and myself for dinner. We had 2 pasta dishes and a garlic pizza (only small one) my god we were stuffed and couldn’t eat it all a(and that is saying something for myself as I am a big eater) Would recommend anyone to go here for a meal as I saw on the menu that they do a Calzone pizza and it must me done right how I can remember it folded in half. Can’t wait for the next time

Very long waiting time. The staff doesn’t inform customers about the delay. People who arrived after us were served and left before we even got our food. The service seems to ignore customers completely.

Brilliant evening with friends and Derek was an absolute star! We were seated immediately on our arrival and our drinks order was taken quickly and arrived quickly. The food came at a suitable speed and everything we had was excellent. However the best part of the evening was Derek who looked after us brilliantly. So we will definitely go back! Thank you Derek.

Awful service yet again. Waited 50 minutes for a main course pre theatre. It's good job we didn't order starters as we had to rush our food. Where do you start with the service in this place. Ordered two aperol spritz which were served without ice. Later found out when we got the bill these were £12.95 each! This is Stoke not London! Who serves a drink like this without ice on a hot summers evening? We weren't asked if we wanted more drinks so after 45 minutes of waiting for food we requested two soft drinks given our wait. No apology just the food would be there soon. When the food eventually did arrive no one came to ask if everything was ok with the food. Had they asked we would have said it was bland. When we were given the bill we requested the two soft drinks be removed as a gesture of good will given the poor experience. The manager/owner proceeded to shout and scream at us in front of a full restaurant of customers. Will not be returning.

Great italian cafe in the city . Love the food .

Another great meal here. Food freshly prepared by an excellent chef. Food yet again was delicious.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE !! Disgusting food. Terrible service. Will not be returning. Put me off for life. Arrived and took 20 minutes before offered drinks which then took about 30 minutes to come. Ordered mozzarella sticks but no cheese was visible inside. When food finally arrived after an hour of waiting even though the restaurant was not busy, we were shocked. The food was cold , the bacon was raw , the pizza base was not cooked thoroughly and the cheese looked out of date. We were put in an awful seat even though the rest of the restaurant was available. Smell of fish surrounded us. Unwelcoming staff. Worst meal of my life. Paid £50 for an appalling meal. I have enjoyed Frankie’s and Benny’s before but this experience of poor food and service will stop me from ever going again.
