The best restaurants serving Italian food in Sheffield Yorkshire and The Humber

Had an excellent meal. Waiter v helpful in explaining the food and portion sizes having seen some reviews commenting on this. Basically it’s Italian tapas with portion sizes bigger than Spanish tapas. We found that 1 dish each plus 1 vegetable dish and an artisan bread starter all to share between 3 of us was ideal. The venison and stone bass were particularly nice. All v relaxed. If you want more, you simply order more as you go along. Nice ambience and v good value for money and all a bit different compared to a traditional Italian restaurant. Would definitely recommend and hope to return soon.

I hadn’t booked and just turned up with my two kids. We decided to order takeaway and waited near a window covered in vapor while the food was being prepared. To pass the time, my kids started drawing hearts and smiley faces on the window, essentially just clearing the vapor. They were very well-behaved and doing absolutely nothing wrong—just keeping themselves entertained during the wait, which was a bit challenging for them. Then, a moody staff member approached and scolded them. It was completely unnecessary and felt incredibly petty. My kids weren’t being disruptive in any way, just drawing harmless little shapes to pass the time. The pizzas weren’t bad (though not particularly great either), but the way we were treated guarantees I won’t be returning. The staff clearly lack emotional intelligence and empathy when it comes to dealing with customers, especially families with children. Such a disappointing experience!

Great little place. Friendly and unpretentious, everything was cooked fresh. Service was relaxed and attentive. Good food, nice wine, highly recommended.

Hemos estado aquí varias veces y la comida siempre es excelente. La presentación es hermosa y las opciones son diferentes e interesantes. Definitivamente lo recomendaría para café, desayuno o almuerzo. ¡Esperamos volver después del cierre!

The food and drinks in this charming cafe are delicious. The focaccia sandwichs are yummy and their selection of cakes and sausage rolls are inspired. I had a Christmas spiced blondie ....scrumptious.

Nunca había estado antes, pero era realmente encantador! El chocolate blanco caliente era precioso. 😍 ¡Bueno con alérgenos! Gracias - volveré!

Great cafe and bakery with friendly staff, good coffee and cheeses/baked goods. Bought marmite bread and a selection of cheese. All tasty.

Came to Sheffield to see some friends and was recommended to go to smashed and pulled. Well what can I say. This is a hidden gem. Why have I not heard of them before!!!! Really friendly staff. A small but awsome menu, and the prices are reasonable aswell. Went for there phat cow burger mall with garlic and herb wings and all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW!!!!. The burger was banging as were the wings. They've got a great selection of drinks I went for the pineapple hmmmmm hmmmmmm. Normally when I go to a fast food joint after I've eaten, I get bloated and gassy. This went down a treat, and even later on in the evening, I felt great. Spoke to the owner (great guy) who told me they make everything in house so its all fresh. That explains the great quality. Anyways all in all a 10/10. I will definitely be back. You need to come to Birmingham......

The best in the town Very friendly staff Pizzas are amazing 😍😍😍 Nice food and fast service and delivery Highly recommend

Piacere is a delight. It's a tiny family restaurant with a simple , straightforward style, and a focus on making sure the food is exactly as it should be, and the service is relaxed and friendly. The Polpette meatballs are a perfect balance of the richness of the spiced sausage and the sharpness of an authentic italian tomato sauce. Main courses when we visited were pastas and risottos. The softness and lightness of my paccheri pasta complemented nicely the earthiness of the beef cheek in the Genovese sauce. My friends were equally enthusiastic about the Carlona and the Risotto Salmone. We like the fact that we were able to bring our own wine. And we loved the idea of a (Treviso) strudel on an Italian menu. We will be back !

Absolutely amazing!!!! I had arancini (tomato/mozzarella and truffles ones) and they were cooked to perfection. Also, my pizza was insanely perfect! I am extremely fussy and it was just the best. Very authentic ingredients used & cooked just right - you can just tell. Thank you. I'll definitely be back ❤️

Everything was great! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the food. The focaccia is a must if you go, pillowy soft with a nice crisp on the outside. The olive oil that it comes with tastes very high quality and the sweet balsamic vinegar tops it off. Both of the mains we got were very flavourful, well seasoned and well portioned. We also got a pistachio tiramisu that was pretty unique and very good. Well priced for what you get. Highly recommended.

Wow - the pizza at Paesani is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for authentic cuisine and a friendly, welcoming place to eat then this is the place for you. I have been to this restaurant several times with friends and family and I always recommend it because the food is such good quality. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

Had a good meal at Rosmarino on Abbeydale Road, and while there were a few little misses, overall, it was a solid experience. The pasta dishes were definitely the highlight - well-cooked and tasty. I went for the seabass with lobster & crab ravioli, and while the flavours were great, the ravioli itself was a bit underwhelming. The filling was quite soft and minced up, so it didn’t pack as much punch as I’d hoped. That said, the sauce and seabass were absolutely ace - I’d happily just have those together and call it a win! The starters were fine, but nothing particularly special or memorable. Service was okay- lacked a bit of warmth and enthusiasm, which would have elevated the experience. That said, it was still a good meal overall, and I’d definitely come back to try other dishes. Looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer.
