The 30 Best Italian restaurant in Stoke

“We have now tried a number of different dishes from “Super Tasty” ... and my word, the food is delicious! Home made every day, a variety of recipes ... with all manner of sandwiches, cakes, breakfasts (before 11AM) and ... most impressively, genuine Italian pastas dishes ... it’s well worth a trip if you are travelling through Fenton!”

“Lovely little cafe for a bit of breakfast in 2 minutes walk from the car park. Hot food no problem at all. Thanks girls”

“What a fantastic place. The food was delicious - I enjoyed a fantastic meal with friends. The deli was an Aladdin's cave of all sorts of wonderful things. Good service too. So I will definitely head back for another meal there.”

“Just WOW! Recently moved to the area & after seeing the reviews for this place we had to try & it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely stunning, as well as the service. Alberto was so lovely & our lovely waitress Issy was great! This will definitely be a regular of ours!”

“Honest, quality food prepared with passion. Only a few tables at this lovely tapas restaurant. Highly recommended!”

“Beautiful authentic Italian pizzas and they even made a vegan one for my mum. All such friendly staff too! We are very lucky to have a shop like this in Tunstall and I hope people support them.”

“Tasty food! Best by far Italian in Leek, the pizza and the tirmisu was amazing best one I've had in this country, service was great and the atmosphere was very good !”

“This is a real gem in Market Drayton. Excellent food - fresh, tasty and interesting along with wonderful service. Can't fault it! I have been several times and it never disappoints. I had lunch there with a friend today who had a lot of dietary needs and the guy serving was just so helpful and friendly about it ...then the food that arrived was perfect! And its so reasonably priced too. Please support this local restaurant it's a real asset to the town.”

“I had a great time at Riminis Cafe in Crewe. The restaurant has an interesting design and decoration with Turkish elements, such as carpets, cushions, lanterns, and paintings. The staff are nice and friendly, and they make you feel welcome. I ordered the Mixed Grill, which is a collection of all delicious Turkish grill items, such as lamb adana kebabs, chicken adana kebab, lamb shish and more. The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. I also tried the Falafel, which was different from the classic falafel I usually have. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a nice flavour of herbs and spices. I loved it even more with the Turkish chili sauce that came with it. The portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves Turkish food or wants to try something new. Riminis Cafe is one of my favourite places to eat in Crewe.”

“​The Habitat: Atmosphere and Environmental Fitness ​The environment of 'La Lanterna' demonstrates a remarkable adaptation for conviviality. The lighting levels were found to be optimal, avoiding both the harsh luminosity that might signal danger and the deep gloom that impedes accurate species identification. The overall ambiance—the combination of visual, auditory, and olfactory stimuli—created an environment of 'Great Atmosphere', which is crucial for the successful ingestion and digestion of resources. ​The collective murmur of conversation among fellow consumers suggested a high degree of social satisfaction within the population. ​The décor and spatial arrangement demonstrated an intelligent, calculated use of resources to promote comfort and repose, thus aiding the consumer in focusing maximum energy on the task of consumption. ​Hypothesis on Atmosphere: A pleasing and supportive environment reduces the consumer's physiological stress, likely enhancing the perceived success and enjoyment of the culinary offering. ​The Symbionts: Facilitation and Service ​The indigenous personnel responsible for the delivery and explanation of the specimens—the service staff—displayed a highly evolved degree of efficiency and beneficial interaction. Their performance may be classified as 'Fantastic Service'. ​Efficiency: The speed and accuracy of resource transfer (the food delivery) exhibited a high level of learned behavior and organizational skill. ​Adaptability: Requests for minor deviations from the standard specimen preparation were met with flexible and immediate responses, highlighting a key trait of behavioural plasticity essential for pleasing a diverse consumer base. ​Communication: The interactions were polite and informative, acting as crucial intermediaries between the kitchen's production and the consumer's need for knowledge regarding the specimens. ​Hypothesis on Service: The facilitating species (staff) exhibits a successful symbiotic relationship with the consumer. Their competent actions maximize the consumer's enjoyment, thereby increasing the likelihood of resource return (patronage), a crucial factor in the establishment's long-term survival and prosperity. ​Final Synthesis on La Lanterna ​La Lanterna represents a highly successful ecosystem where excellent culinary specimens (Gnocchi Gorgonzola and Steak Pasta) are presented in an environment of Great Atmosphere and facilitated by Fantastic Service. This convergence of high-quality internal and external factors ensures the enterprise's evolutionary advantage in the competitive landscape of the urban dining habitat. ​ Outstanding.”

“From the moment we walked in you could feel the love. We were welcomed with a smile into this beautiful restaurant. The antipasti was fabulous, delicious and the gluten free garlic bread was a winner! I then had gluten free pasta Bolognese IT.WAS.DELICIOUS authentic made with love, I could have eaten platefuls. Kev had a diavola pizza and 8/10, I asked what would have made it a 10 and he said a little more fire, it was cooked to perfection! A slightly burned base The staff were genuinely invested in making the experience just great. We couldn't manage a dessert sadly. Would love a Fabrizio's in Banbury thank you”

“Ordered from here on a Tuesday night while on a short break in the area. We got the meal for two for £22 (I think), with two pizzas (we got margherita and pepperoni), cheesy garlic, six BBQ wings and two cans. Did this through the website - nice and easy. Before collecting I needed to add a pizza to the order so phoned up and was told it was two for one Tuesday so I got an extra vegetable and meat feast for £11. The staff in the shop were very friendly and polite, and all the food was great. Pizzas were generously topped and the bases nice and crispy. Highly recommend.”

“Another great meal! First one in the new location, a lot bigger but still has that welcoming feeling. Had the set menu which has a great choice, I asked for extra meat in my pasta dish and they happily obliged. The waiter who served us was so pleasant and attentive. Will ALWAYS recommend Robertos!”

“I highly recommend this Restaurant! We tried Pizza, Buger and a Dessert. Everything was very delicious. The Pizza dough was a Highlight. The staff ist very nice and courteous.”

“Ordered from this pizza shop last night I want to say very very impressed with the quality. It was hot when it arrived and the Stuffed crust cheese is the best I’ve had!”

“Ordered last night off the back of a recommendation from my brother-in-law. Ordered for collection. Pizza was ready on arrival and smelled amazing. Tasted unreal and would definitely go again. Looked nice inside the restaurant for a sit down meal. Looked to be selling some craft beers. Would love to go back and sit in for a meal and some drinks.”

“From the warmest of Italian welcomes to the most amazing food. Wow simply wow and the service was outstanding We will be back for sure Thank you for a lovely evening with you”

“Casa Mia has become our go-to Italian, and for good reason. We’ve ended up here more than once after being unable to eat elsewhere, and Casa Mia always accommodates my partner’s gluten allergy properly. This is a genuine medical requirement, not a preference, and they take it seriously without fuss or attitude — exactly how it should be. The food is great, excellent value for money, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. They’re also very good with children, which makes a big difference for us. After trying other places and being let down, we now don’t bother — we just come straight to Casa Mia. Reliable, accommodating, and genuinely personable. Highly recommended.”

“We have visited this restaurant on two occasions now both times for the pizza which is very tasty and a good size. We normally go around 3.30 / 4pm on a Sunday as it's not to busy and enjoy a seat by the window. The service is good but I did feel it was a little rushed this last time as maybe staff were looking for something to do. Sorry who wants to rush on a Sunday?? That's why I have given 4 stars.”

“Food was phenomenal, service was great, atmosphere is lovely. For the quality and quantity of food, price is very agreeable. Steak was juicy and flavorful. Would have had a dessert but was completely stuffed. Thank you for the memorable lunch.”

“My fiancée and I called in for lunch ,very friendly and attentive staff and the food was excellent well worth five stars rating”

“One of my absolute most favourite restaurants, come here everytime I'm in Buxton. The food is always amazing and the staff are wonderful and attentive. Would strongly recommend.”

“The food was impeccable, genuinely don’t have a complaint about the food. The service however was very slow. We waited 35 minutes between starter and main, it wasn’t even busy and then it took them 15 odd minutes to bring the bill over. My only complaint. Food was great.”

“Good pizza. I love the starters. The dough pillows were extremely soft and yummy so was the bread and olives. Nice drinks. It would be 10 stars if you had garlic dip”

“Brilliant night at the coast! 4 of us visited tonight, the staff were so friendly and warm (we couldn’t thank them enough for looking after us), the restaurant is beautiful inside, food and drinks were both great … we all left very pleased. Can’t wait to return soon!”

“Lovely place, really cosy and great set up, tiered menu with a 3 dish set price based on what tier the dishes were in. This meant you could have a smaller amount of 3 things to rather than choosing 1 dish - great for the indecisive like me!! All 3 dishes were delicious, and I even took some home so small doesn't mean that small. Will absolutely be back, there's another 30 dishes I need to try!!”

“Fantastic experience!! Every scene was beautifully presentated with perfect music! Great for families of all ages and enough places to stop to take photos and great food from the vendors!”

“Walked in to a warm, welcoming , pizza smell. Shared olives to start and it was a very generous portion with lovely salted bread and olive oil. Had already ordered a pizza each which was delicious but very filling. Brought a doggy bag home. Staff were attentive and pleasant. The only down side was there wasn't a wine list and we ended up paying heavily for the drinks. Will definitely book again.”

“I will be honest, the last time I went to PDP it was horrendous. There was no atmosphere, they got our meals wrong and it was just genuinely bad. Fast forward to yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE. Back to its normal self. The food was immense, they were so hospitable for the kids. Well done everyone. You made a very poor experience previously, become an excellent experience now. I’d highly recommend here. Such a beautiful restaurant.”
