Best Italian Restaurants in Handsworth

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.

Could not fault the food or the service. Probably one of the best meals I’ve had. The braised beef croquettes were to die for as was the fillet. This was our first visit to Noel’s bar and restaurant and I would certainly recommend and return. The noise level was a little high but was very busy so would be expected. Thank you for a fantastic night.

Great photo and service First time I have been here and will definitely be coming back

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.

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!
