The best restaurants serving Italian food in West Midlands

Have been to this restaurant 8 or 9 times and always had superb pizzas. In July 2024 the experience wasn’t very good. I was served with a very burned pizza. When I complained I was told ‘it was fine’! I complained to a second waitress who agreed the pizza should be changed. The second pizza arrived and it looked fine. But when I ate some of it I tasted burned pizza once again. I looked at the underside and about half of that was burnt. I ate the good half and complained once again that I had received another pizza, 50% of which had been burnt. After some challenge from them they gave me 50% off. But I felt that the overall service, where my challenge about burned pizza hadn’t been readily accepted, had been incredibly poor. So I sent an email to the owner. They responded saying that I had received ‘compensation’ for the poor experience by getting a 50% reduction in price! But that reduction was for the inedible half of the pizza. I replied challenging their view but never received a reply. Haven’t eaten there again since because I don’t appreciate such poor customer service.

Great food, simple fresh ingredients cooked properly by folks that care. What a gem of a place, £8 for a pizza and £5 for a cheesy garlic bread. I'm never ordering franchise pizza again. A true treat.

Great pizza and lovely staff! Would 100% recommend if you are in the area. The Spicy Nduja & Chilli pizza is incredible. Best pizza in the area by a mile! 🍕

Very good food and nice people!!!

Fantastic pizza, a big slice of Napoli in downtown ,same review as December, great food , great service, great value👏👏👍

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. 😊

Had a lovely lunch today at Stretched & Fried in Alfold. Lovely friendly staff and a lovely lunch. Well worth a visit. This is definitely a great addition to the village. The staff have changed and the option of different menu items is good. Will definitely be back again soon.

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 !!!!

I love Mums Kitchen, the menu is amazing, pasta curries salads you name it they have it. They do allow lots of noisy children and there’s a great kids menu but probably go later if you are a couple. Mum literally does all the cooking but she seems herself to exist on packet soup which we found a bit odd. The owner is very much mine host and often joins you at the table with lots of interesting tales and quirky facts. It’s a great place and we hope to be back soon

love this pizza really tasty, definitely I will be ordering again. Love the dough very light. See pic how looked mine, yummy.

First order through a well known delivery company.. when delivery arrived driver said .. down load direct app for Fireaway, it’s cheaper ..tonight when ordering app says can only be ordered by collection only, but can be ordered from well known delivery app for £4 more.. called the shop directly, not answering the phone. So are they delivering directly or only by paying more through delivery app .. ? Just went to my usual pizza place 2 pizza’s almost as cheap as ordering 1 from Fireaway. Make your mind up Fireway .

Fantastic Pizza 10/10. A level above the rest. Caters for Coeliac customers with Gluten Free Pizza. I have been a regular here for the last 6 months and they have not let me down yet.

Mi marido y yo disfrutamos de una deliciosa y completamente fuera de la comida ordinaria en esta nueva adición a la escena culinaria ampliamente mejorando en Kidderminster. Yo tenía una envoltura de camote y mi marido una pakora de pollo y queso rojo mojitos estaban tan leicester tanto panini servido con una sustancial ensalada perfectamente vestidas con un aceite muy sabroso herby. A ambos nos gustó la excelente café latte, complementado por el agua de limón helado ofrecidas en la casa. La cuenta fue de un 15,50 libras extremadamente razonable! Sin duda volveré a este café peculiar en lo que parece ser lentamente transformando en un poco de Francia en la colina...
