The best restaurants serving Italian food in South West

Visited La Marina 5/1/25,after reading some good reviews.Its either people not knowing much about Italian food or just being kind.Very limited menu,Pollo Roma had 90% of the recipe missing and was totally taste less served in a taste less sauce no pancetta wrapped asparagus no onions or belly pepper..Very disappointed...

Third time of coming here the food is really nice and presented very well. My bread, oil and rocket starter is delicious, followed by beef fillet steak with fries, and rocket salad with parma cheese slices was also delicious. The service from Dominique is friendly and very welcoming. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone keep up the great work.

Food was very delicious and well presented

This is our go-to for “daughter-back-to-Bath-day”. Right next to Sainsbury’s car park where you have 90 minutes free. The service is amazing.. they get you in and out, without feeling rushed, in 45 minutes. The food is simply delicious.

Greeted with big smiles on a very cold evening food was very well cooked and presented and service was excellent

Great meals, chose from Vegan and Gluten-Free menus, oodles of choice and Maria our waitress was attentive, polite, friendly and prompt. I had the Mediterranean Appetizer and Mediterranean Penne (a theme here)! Glad booked as restaurant packed out from 8ish, there's an upstairs too. Bravissimo!

I am so disappointed and I don't write this review lightly. We were holding an event and ordered some pizzas a few hours before it went ahead. Whilst the pizzas were being made we were told that GF was not available. It was not made clear that whilst it was not available that our order was on hold. Our pizzas ended up being 1.5-2 hours late and to apologise, they gave us a voucher for a free dip. When the food arrived none of it was labelled - some were vegan, some were vegetarian and one was meat. We had to try and figure out which was vegan and when we asked were told 'the vegan one has cubed cheese'. It was almost impossible to tell to a point where one of our vegan guests ate a pizza with dairy. I am extremely disappointed.

Had an absolutely amazing meal at Little Italy last night. Authentic home made Italian Food that is absolutely delicious. We were made very welcome, had a great evening and will return very soon. Highly recommended!

Found this lovely little Italian cafe in one of the many small side streets in Bath, the service was fantastic and the coffee was amazing, we only went in for a drink but after seeing the menu and food being served we decided to stay for lunch, the panini were great, staff were very friendly and attentive, I would highly recommend this cafe. Much better than the large coffee shops.

Tasty ice cream and excellent size scoop 😋😋😋

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A beautiful old building near the river. Our food was well cooked and well presented. Staff were great. A bit dark but that's normal in an old building.

Visitó Ballagio durante el período de tiempo de The Twixmas. Incluso a las 6 pm estaba ocupado con un gran ambiente. El personal fue amable durante toda nuestra comida. Revisando si todo estaba bien. La comida estaba bien para los platos principales de pizza y pasta. Los entrantes (particularmente los calamares) no eran tan buenos. Me sentí como productos congelados y no cocinado bien. Lo volvería a visitar.

Another wonderful evening and meal at La Vela. The staff are always so welcoming and the food is top notch. In our group we had pizza, calzone, penne de la casa and the chicken and mushroom risotto. What I love is that often they will adjust things for us such as more mushroom and less chicken less chillis and extra plates etc so the kids can share a grown up meal. Really family friendly all around. It can get very busy in the summer months with the tourists so book ahead. By far the best restaurant in town for any occasion. Will be back soon.

We dropped in here as we enjoy Italian food. It was lunchtime, and we were on a trip to see the non-existent Xmas Market. Well, maybe 15 stalls.

Great gluten free options! Not just gluten free but also very tasty! Service was good, servers very attentive! Found our new family Italian!
