Absolutely amazing food. The pizza dough is light and crisp. The topping fresh and tasty. The wine is a super match, served in beautiful glasses. We have been coming for years and look forward to many more enjoyable meals.

I rarely write reviews, except when I come across exceptional restaurants where food is being served with passion. This was one of those places. Very welcoming owner, knows what he is doing (authentic!) and very thoughtful with kids. Hospitality at its finest. Food was great (true Napoli style pizza, using fresh ingredients) and the small restaurants (it seats 10 only) is lovely decorated. You just feel very welcomed. Great find which I can happily recommend to anyone.Kid-friendliness: A highchair was offered right away, thoughtful recommendations about food for the little one, great interaction between owner and our son.

We had a delicious meal here last night. Pizzas were made by the chef fresh and cooked in front of our eyes. Everything made on site. A unique experience. The recommmended red wine from Sicily was superb. We shall definitely visit again, a real gem of a place. Excellent value for money too.

We visited Bideford for a trip down memory lane and were pleasantly surprised to find that the Italian kitchen was still there. We popped our heads round the door on the Friday afternoon, to see if there were any gluten free options. Ali (short for Alistair), the owner, said he would see if he could organise something and took my number. The following morning I received a message giving menu details and gluten free options. We were asked to pre order which we were happy to do. On Saturday evening we arrived at the restaurant to be warmly greeted by Ali. We were offered a good choice of wines, given water and the meal itself was absolutely delicious. We had antipasto and bruschetta to start. My husband had a Diavalo pizza with spicy meats and I had gluten free meatballs and salad with gluten free bread. We felt like we had our own personal chef and enjoyed our evening of good food and conversation with Ali. This restaurant is a gem. It has an intimate Italian restaurant with a very authentic feel, part of this comes from the owners heritage. We would thoroughly recommend it.

We stumbled across The Italian Kitchen during a weekend away. We started with bruschetta which was amazing followed by vegan pizza. The pizza was perfect - thin and crispy topped simply with a marinara and finely sliced veggies. We would definitely return if we visit Bideford again!

Staying locally so decided to try & get an early meal in Bideford. After wandering round came across this restaurant by chance. Owner was really accommodating providing a small vegan pizza for our toddler. We all went with one of his suggestions & we all enjoyed our choices. Lovely evening & would recommend if you're in Bideford. Thought our food was good value too.

We travelled down to Bideford for the weekend from Bristol, and managed to book a table at short notice. We were very impressed with the Italian pizzas, so light and full of flavour! Great service, and perfect portions. The owner suggested his speciality dessert ?Mezza Luna?, a caramelised banana in Nutella! I?d travel 2 hours just for that! A lovely evening was spent at this place, great company and fantastic service.

A quaint and joyful meal, wonderful care of service and fantastic authentic cuisine. You can tell that the passion runs through this family run business, like being welcomed into the family for casual dining and shared experience.
