Best Italian Restaurants in Henley-in-Arden

Carluccios at Stratford Upon Avon is reliable and never disappoints. Excellent staff, consistently good food and very good with young children and families,( not always the case with UK restaurants sadly).

Lovely restaurant, very busy and although I had booked a table for 2 months in advance for my husband’s birthday when we arrived the only table available was in a ‘corridor’. It was next to the waiters station and the kitchen. However, when we asked to be moved they were very understanding and accommodating and moved us with only a short delay. Services and food was lovely, great choice on the menu too.

Cucina Rustica - always get it right - from a warm welcome when you arrive to a great table. Their menu is excellent and the Specials a real treat too - with a wide selection of everything and more importantly real Italian authenticity - truly scrumptious. It is our go to Italian in Birmingham and will continue to be. Bravo to Cucina Rustica - excellent food and well trained staff.

Once again, an enjoyable lunch, great service. Good atmosphere, food and surroundings.

Wonderful Dining Experience at Piccolino We had an amazing meal at Piccolino. Two of us ordered the tagliatelle with salmon, which was absolutely delicious. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his risotto with smoked haddock, and our friend had a gluten-free pasta dish (though I can’t recall which one) that she also loved. Every main course was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For starters, we shared garlic bread, olives, bruschetta, and arancini — all of which were delightful. To finish, we had the gelato and the panettone bread and butter pudding. The pudding was especially impressive, being both light and flavorful. The service was outstanding, thanks to our lovely server with long hair and glasses. Her warm and friendly personality really made our evening special. Apologies, we can’t remember her name, but she truly enhanced our experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect, making it an all-around excellent experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
