Extraordinary Sunday, at the home of Chef Mimmo Pipitone, Colosseo Restaurant in the heart of Fairford, England. A true culinary experience of flavors, smells and textures of the cuisine of Sicily, Italy and all its influences throughout history. Special thanks to my good friends, Zeus and Manni for the invitation and connecting us with a wonderful chef who opens the door to the flavors of Sicily.

Excellent restaurant with a great choice of dishes and very good service. Compliments to the chef on the beef carpaccio, it was divine! Just like in Italy ??

This was perfect for a family dinner on our holiday in the Cotswolds. Our waiter Joyce was a delight and made a real effort with our toddler, which is always appreciated. The food was excellent and served quickly. I particularly liked to mushroom gnocchi. If we're ever back in the area, I would certainly go again.

Joyce and Toto were both extremely gracious and the food was to die for.We had Spaghetti bolognaise and filler Stroganoff. Lovely atmosphere.

Dropping in on the spur of the moment we found very friendly staff providing immaculate service and coping without blinking with my wife being dairy-free. . The food was excellent including the best risotto marinara I have ever eaten, followed by a top-notch tiramisu. Hope to go back soon!

We had a lovely family meal here. The service was friendly and the portions and wine by the glass were generous. Would highly recommend if you?re looking for an authentic Italian in the area.

Had a lovely 3 course meal in a standout restaurant. Service from start to finish was excellent with us being made to feel warmly welcomed by Joyce. Food was presented beautifully and delicious (deserts in pics) . Definitely one of the best Italian meals I've had in years. I'd certainly not hesitate to visit again when next in the area. Thanks guys.

We chose this restaurant based on the great reviews and were not disappointed. We were welcomed warmly by front of house staff and received great customer service throughout our evening. The food was delicious too - we both opted for pasta dishes and they were full of flavour. Thank you :)

Read great reviews for this restaurant, not much choice in Fairford so when friends came to stay we thought we'd give it a try. From the off we weren't impressed as instead of a friendly greeting we were asked on the way to our table 'do you want water?' can we at least get settled, and then when we were at our table 'water?' We then waited 35 mins for our drinks and an hour for our starters! Our friend had the garlic king prawns which was about 8 frozen prawns swimming in sauce. My husband had the white bait which again was frozen, it was served in a shell which was sat on a limp lettuce leaf and he had burnt chips amongst it! I had the halloumi which was 3 triangles of halloumi and a limp lettuce leaf not worth the money at all! It didn't get any better with the mains, the calzone was just s soggy mess and our friend had the Mariana risotto and most of the mussels were closed so she couldn't eat them. We are all good non fussy eaters but we all left half our meals! The service was shocking, waiter was rude and definitely didn't like the fact that we paid the exact bill .. to the extent that he chased us up the road and said he'd overcharged us by 50p and smirked... he hadn't and was just trying to be funny! Until he did that we were putting it down to they were having a bad night, but now we will never eat there again and definitely won't recommend. I honestly cannot find one good thing to say about our experience!

Booked for a family meal of 9 people. The food was amazing! We had several different choices from Pizza, Risotto, Lasagne and even a Sunday Roast, which was delicious and great value for money. The service was very friendly and relaxed, went over and above with the 2 children. We will definitely be back!

I had lunch here today, alone with my dog, and I was greeted as warmly as if I had been a large party! I had bruschetta to start followed by the sea bass daily special and both were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The fish and vegetables were particularly good, super fresh and perfectly seasoned. I had a glass of perfectly matched wine, suggested by the maitre d, and finished with a lovely coffee. My dog was given water and treats and was treated as well as I was myself! A truly superb meal with excellent service and I will definitely be returning soon. A truly excellent experience.
