First Italian style tapas ever and it was so incredible. Didn’t book so had to wait for a table but was not long considering was a busy Saturday night. All staff very friendly and welcoming and very reasonably prices surprising for the variety of foot available and good portion size. Would definitely recommend and go back if ever visit Chester again!

Veeno Italian Wine Cafe

Reviewed By John4Julie

Pleasant place, relaxing and with great service. Had a wonderfully different Italian afternoon tea, which has to rate as one of the best I have had. What impressed me most is that my wife is gluten intolerant and they provided a considered and equal alternative for her. Often I have found places provide an inferior alternative (Alnwick Gardens this means you!!!), not Veeno, so thank you for this it is very much appreciated. Ould definitely recommend and go again.

This traditional Italian restaurant is well worth a visit but you will definitely need to book. We went for dinner on a Monday night in October and the place was packed with a queue of customers waiting to be seated. The atmosphere was lively and service was excellent, we were made to feel very welcome. Lots of choice on the menu and particularly delicious desserts.

La Fattoria

Reviewed By Victoria P

Coming to Chester for a weekend away we were very excited to eat at what looked like a rustic sought after Italian restaurant. We phoned during the week to book the Saturday- fully booked so we booked the Sunday instead at 8:30, we thought it was very late but it must be worth it! We were lucky to get parked on the road outside (no car park) and walked into a huge queue. A member of staff said our wait would be 2 minutes. There was no waiting area so we were stood with about 8 people in front of us, and 6 people behind us in the middle of the restaurant (very much in the way). 20 minutes past our booking time we were told it would be 5 minutes ish and offered a free drink- nice of them but our patience was running thin by this point. 10 more minutes passed and we decided enough was enough, there was no sign of anyone finishing their meals anytime soon, plus there was a table of 4 in front of us who hadn’t booked and another 4 behind us who had also booked for 8:30. The staff didn’t make you feel welcomed instead practically ignored us the whole 30 minutes we were stood there. The noise they make for a birthday is also ridiculous, excruciatingly loud- this happened twice just while we were stood there! It doesn’t make for the best atmosphere to dine in. So at 9pm we decided to walk away- very disappointing as we had pre booked and you do not expect to be treated that way when you have booked a table! The food did look lovely but the wait and the way we were treated unfortunately left a sour taste in my mouth, I wouldn’t wish to return.

Myself and my family visited Bollicini during a weekend away in Chester and were immediately greeted by our waiter, Giovanni, who was brilliant with our Son and very attentive with the food. The cannelloni, fussili, lasagne and seafood risotto dishes were fantastic and we will most definitely return here for a meal due to the great atmosphere and friendly staff. If you’re in Chester and fancy a nice Italian, Bollicini is the place to go.

A small restaurant away from the centre with excellent food and friendly staff. We liked it so much we visited twice during our four-day stay. It’s not expensive and although it might be a bit away from the city centre, we’d recommend you try it. We were staying in City Road so only a few minutes’ walk.

We’re now in the habit of booking when away on the basis of internet menu and trip advisor, rather than walking around the area.Glad we did as would have given this place a wide berth otherwise, given it’s located in a series of high rise flats.Walk in though to a bustling restaurant which is full of diners all enjoying themselves. Portions were generous, service friendly and efficient (with only two people front of house it needed to be).Food was really enjoyable and homely, price was reasonable.

Reviewed By jimbo_1708

The food was perfection, with a varied and creative authentic menu. It was obvious the whole restaurant was built on the passion of the manager/owner as he talked to every table explaining the connect of the restaurant, the origin of the food, recipes. etc. Unfortunately this passion also made him overbearing on the waiters and other staff. It was clear they felt like they were being watched and criticised at all times and as a result were not very relaxed or comfortable making the atmosphere a little tense.My one bit of advice would be for the manager just to relax a little and trust his staff to do their job, allowing them to relax a little changing the atmosphere and this place would be 10/10 flawless.
