Although these restaurants may serve pizza, it will only be part of a much wider traditional Italian menu of antipasto, prima, contorno and dolce served with a digestivo and caffè macchiato. Those Italian-style Restaurants in Warwickshire that principally serve pizzas are included in the Pizzeria section.

Last time I was in Italy I mistakenly ordered a latte and was surprised to be asked 'freddo o caldo'. Of course, when a glass of hot milk arrived I belatedly remembered that 'latte' is simply the word for milk in Italian and is not used for the milky coffee of the same name that we order in England. Milky coffee is in fact caffè macchiato or latte macchiato or even caffè latte.

Italian food isn't just food, it's a way of life. One of life's great pleasures is to dine on a wooden deck jutting out into Lake Como, whiling the afternoon away with a bottle frascati and a caffe and flicking bits of grissini into the lake for the fish.

Anyway, back to Italian Restaurants in Warwickshire: Piccolino's in Leamington and Warwick have been here since the Romans landed; Ask, Prezzo, Zizzi, Caffe Pasta and Caffe Uno are part of eponomous national restaurant chains, but none the worse for that; Casa Valle in Leamington Spa, La Tavola Calda in Nuneaton and Sorrento in Stratford-upon-Avon seem to be run by genuine Italian mommas, poppas & bambinos with metaphorical, or possibly real, straw-covered chiani bottles for candlesticks.

From contemporary to traditional, there is a certainly good selection to choose from. And genuine Italian restaurants love kids, so if you are looking for child-friendly restaurants you could do a lot worse.
