Italian Restaurants in Faversham

“Really good food. We’ve been served by Claudia several times and she’s always so nice, helpful, friendly and attentive.”

“A hidden Italian gem worth every bite

It was just another ordinary Tuesday. After a long, hectic day at work, I suddenly remembered a friend recommending a highly recommond Italian restaurant, so I decided to give it a go — and what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!

I arrived at around 8pm, which I now believe is the perfect time to visit. The roads were clear and I easily found a parking spot right outside the restaurant — already a good start.

Despite being the last table seated, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. There was not a hint of impatience, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unrushed.

For starters, we had a glass of their house white and a portion of Calamari Fritti. The deep-fried squid was outstanding — light, crisp, and not greasy at all. Easily one of the best I’ve had in the UK.

Then came the mains. The Marinara pizza, and let me just say — the simpler the dish, the harder it is to perfect. But this pizza? Hands down the best I’ve had anywhere in the UK, and yes, even better than many I tried during my trip to Italy!

The other main — thanks to my friend’s strong recommendation — was the Risotto Alla Pescatora. Honestly, it's the best risotto I’ve ever had. The flavour was rich, the texture beautifully balanced, and it’s now officially my must-order dish every time I come. It alone is enough reason for a return visit.

Portions were generous and everything was so delicious that, regretfully, we couldn’t finish the Marinara — ended up taking half of it home. That meant we had to save the Linguine Posillipo for next time... but to be honest, it only gives me more reason to come back this October.

Next round: I’ll definitely be reordering the Risotto Alla Pescatora, finally trying the Linguine Posillipo, and taking away a Marinara or a Margherita. Trust me — when you reheat their pizza in your own kitchen, the aroma is honestly more intoxicating than Chanel No.5.

Although we couldn’t manage any dry pasta last night, we still ordered a slice of their Pistachio Cheesecake to take away. I had it as today’s tea break, and it felt more like a proper high tea than just an average afternoon snack — pure indulgence.

It’s hard to fully describe the experience in words — it’s something you truly have to experience yourself. A dining journey that satisfies not just your stomach, but also your soul.

PS: My only tip — avoid peak hours if possible, and don’t test the chef’s limits. They deserve time and space to create magic.”
