The Courtyard Italian Restaurante

Excellent little restaurant! Great host and amazing food, very good chef. Also catered well for gluten free, members of staff were very clued up on this. Would 100% return!

The recent accolades of Best Restaurant in South of England and Best Family Restaurant at The Italian Awards, along with Finalist Best Pasta Chef are very well deserved. The pride they take in their work is very clear in the quality of their food and service. This is our second visit to this hidden gem. So glad we stumbled across it in the summer. It’s now our family go to for special occasions. This time for my belated birthday dinner. My husband who is not a big pasta fan thoroughly enjoyed his stuffed crust pizza. My daughter is coeliac and I’m lactose intolerant. This usually causes issues when trying to eat out at more generic restaurants. The owner and chef are so knowledgeable, and as everything is cooked from fresh they are able to adjust the majority of dishes according to taste and dietary requirements. This meant we were all able to enjoy our meals without anyone missing out. We’re already planning our next trip. Would highly recommend, especially to anyone who has to follow a gluten free or lactose free diet.
