A city renowned for its Roman origins, it is perhaps unsurprising that Italian food is not hard to find in Chester. While several pizzerias and pasta houses can be found on the city’s streets, below we list three venues where you can be ensured of an authentic Italian experience and feast like a Roman for a night.
Carbonara – 49 Bridge Street Row
Taking its name from the quintessential pasta dish of Rome, Carbonara serves Italian cuisine in the stunning location of The Rows, Chester’s historic half-timbered buildings that combine Georgian, Victorian and medieval architecture. Its menu boasts an extensive array of Roman specialities including seafood and fish dishes, along with an authentic Carbonara made with eggs, guanciale, pecorino cheese and black pepper.
Made in Italy – 25-27 Faulkner Street
Born and raised Italians, the kitchen team at Made in Italy serves traditional cuisine crafted from family recipes passed down through many generations. Offering an intimate and laid-back atmosphere, this restaurant provides an ideal environment to enjoy an authentic menu.
La Fattoria – 25 Lower Bridge Street
With more than 40 years of lovingly creating Italian food, La Fattoria is a kitchen and pizzeria run by four brothers from Italy. Together, Mario, Angelo, Luigi and Pasqualino continue to provide service and dishes to the high standards of past generations of their family. With locally sourced produce and fresh ingredients, La Fattoria serves a staggering selection of pizzas, starters, soups, mains and second courses.
