The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

I visited Toniâs Kitchen for the first time this week after hearing raving reports on this fine Italian hot spot in the Cotswolds and it far exceeded my expectations. Booking to be advised as I understand people are beginning to travel from other counties to experience what this place has to offer. With a warm, welcoming and intimate interior, the knowledgable and attentive front of house staff showered us with the best of Italian hospitality. The ever changing menu was peppered full of a variety of dishes to suit every palette and dietary requirement. I struggled to choose between the dishes on offer - each one sounding staggeringly good. Toniâs Kitchen proudly displays a sign above the kitchen door - âour happy placeâ and how fitting. The head chef and owner Jason Orsi is clearly more than a chef- he is an artist at work. Everything on the menu is all made freshly in house, from ravioli to ice cream, created from a palette of ingredients and condiments that are responsibly and carefully sourced for their quality, sustainability and taste.Not forgetting younger guests- children are welcomed and can choose from the main menu too; a whole family dining experience- typical of the welcoming and inclusive culture that sets Italy apart. The garden is also worth a mention - plenty of outdoor dining space that is trailing with edibles growing from every corner which I am told is used on the restaurant menu - Jerusalem artichokes form a windbreak and an attractive screen and appears on the menu in a gratin and Nasturtiums brighten borders as well as the humous appetiser that is jewelled with pomegranate and accompanied by fresh in-house baked loaves. I can honestly say that I ate the best meal of my life in Toniâs Kitchen and will be returning very soon. My advice to anyone who is visiting anywhere near the Cotswolds is to visit this charming little piece of Italy and for those who follow the finest, keep your eye on this place. We left feeling more than satiated and were taken on a memorable culinary and cultural journey.

While staying at Whatley Manor we booked a table at The Dining Room for the chefs experience.I would highly recommend it - what an amazing evening.We started with drinks on the patio with some starters then were invited into the kitchen for the next 3 courses.I loved being in the kitchen and watching the very talented chefs at work. I liked that when you were presented with a dish there was so much information given.After 3 dishes in the kitchen we then moved on to the dining room for the final courses. This was a first time for us and I really enjoyed a tasting menu experience as I tried items I wouldnât usually order such a eel (which was incredible)!Would definitely recommend this experience when staying at Whatley Manor.We love being able to share the back of house areas with our guests. We know it is not unique in the UK to visit professional kitchens, but our format is a bit unique for the moment. Our kitchen is a lovely light and bright space so we feel very proud to be able to share it to our guests. The chefs enjoy meeting the guests they are cooking for and its nice to hear that the guests enjoy meeting them and seeing them at work. Thank you for your kind recommendation and we very much hope we can tempt you back one day. kind regards Sue W

Lovely local restaurant, have eaten there a few times with friends & everyone has always had good meals. The service is always friendly & attentive, it is always busy & for good reason. Think over all value & portions good, have had the starter size risotto for main before. Extensive menu choice which normally makes me nervous about quality but between us we have had several dishes & all the starters & mains are fab, especially the risottos. But feel the desserts are disappointing (tiramsu is OK) after the choice & quality of other courses. Luckily always full after main but would love to have choice of really good home made Italian desserts.

Went on the recommendation of a local as I was from out of town. Dinner did NOT disappoint!! Food was outstanding (Iâm still dreaming about my scallop appetizer)! The rest of my party also throughly enjoyed their meals. Wine selection was good, and the wines we had were fabulous. Canât recommend this place enough. Donât know when Iâll be back in town, but Iâll be stopping by LâArtisan when I do.

Lovely welcoming restaurant with a nice varied menu and excellent service. A couple more menu choices on the starters and desserts might have been nice, but otherwise faultless. We were running late and they were so nice about it!

We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed excellent service throughout the evening. Amuse bouches were a wonderful touch with such fantastic authentic tastes as pani puri. The vegan menu was extensive and contained lots of interesting dishes. All dishes were prepared to perfection and visits from the chef to ensure we were happy was such a nice offer. Definitely somewhere unique and special to enjoy an evening with friends.

We found Tierra & Mar by accident, on the Internet. We often eat in Cirencester and the Restaurants are mostly in the same street; this restaurant is about 150m away and whilst they've been there for two years, we hadn't seen it before.Food is Tapas based and we found some really good Vegetarian choices, generous portions for Tapas. All were tasty, well explained and lovingly cooked.We'll be back.
