Wildwood Liverpool

For Italian fare in the heart of Liverpool's city centre, Wildwood is a great choice. Not only are there a delicious variety of plates to dig into, but there's also a laid-back atmosphere. Our favourite? It has to be the rigatoni speck with smoked ham, rocket, parmesan and blue cheese.

San Carlo Liverpool

Located on Castle Street, close to the Albert Dock, San Carlo is a high-end Italian restaurant that's part of the award-winning group of the same name. The beautiful interior features Milanese-inspired decor, warm chandelier lighting and lots of foliage, in a room filled with white-clothed tables.

Their extensive menu offers something for everyone, inspired by regions across Italy. Kick off with calamari fritti and aubergine parmigiana, before moving onto mains like creamy crab tagliolini, truffle mushroom pizza or 28-day aged sirloin steak.

Handpicking the finest seasonal ingredients, Carlisi is a great Italian restaurant for all occasions. Pair fine wines and aperitif-style cocktails with a menu of breakfast, brunch, charcuterie, bruschetta and signature dishes that include lasagna and parmigiana.
