Adriatico - Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

This is a very quaint restaurant that we happened to stumble upon. It was such a pleasant discovery. The food was great and the owner very friendly. We had the bruschetta appetizer, margarita pizza, spinach tortellini, spaghetti bolognese and chicken penne. I highly recommend the pizza. It is real Italian pizza. All of it was made fresh and delicious! Highly recommend this place! I also appreciate the prices being very reasonable.

We read about this place while trying to find somewhere to stop and eat during our drive from Kent to Cornwall. It is a small family run restaurant with delicious food and amazing service. The pizza is absolutely delicious. The staff were super helpful and patient with our 3 children. They all loved their pizzas and ice creams. It’s a place I’ll remember when we’re again in the area.

We arrived hungry and the food was fast and delicious. We shared an aubergine and then we had the lasagna and chicken risotto. Even tough everything was delicious we ordered an additional carbonara pasta. Amazing flavors. Thanks a lot.

What a lovely place. Small, not many covers, so you should book. Great honest food. Good selection of wine. Small selection of beers and all of the good. Very warm and welcoming. The waitress was really helpful and the owner, I believe, who was cooking came out and chatted. All so comfortable and intimate. Really good value for money. We will certainly be going back there. Thank you Adriatico.

We had a wonderful meal at Adriatico in Lightwater, Surrey. From the moment we walked in, the warm family service made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with authentic Italian flavors. The wine selection perfectly complemented the meal, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. It’s clear that the team at Adriatico truly cares about their guests and goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and memorable dining experience. Such a pleasant experience, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. A true gem in Lightwater!"

What a delightful find in Lightwater! This quaint little Italian restaurant, owned by the wonderful Toni, is a true gem. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were stepping into a cozy corner of Italy. Toni welcomed us like old friends and went out of his way to suggest the perfect wine to pair with our meal, and his menu recommendations were spot on. The food was nothing short of heavenly—authentic, traditional Italian cuisine that transported us straight to Italy. We savored every bite of the Arrabiata and Carbonara pasta, both bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients and lots of love. Chef Elio’s incredible talent was evident in every dish. To top it all off, we had the tiramisu, and it was the best I’ve ever had—the perfect way to end our meal. For a moment, we could have sworn we were dining in a little trattoria in Rome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, filled with laughter and the kind of hospitality that leaves you with a warm heart. We can’t wait to return and try more dishes. Unfortunately did not get any more pics! A word of advice: be sure to book ahead to secure a table at this popular spot. Highly recommended for anyone craving an authentic Italian dining experience!

We visited this lovely restaurant yesterday. Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children. We were staying overnight in the area and the hotel restaurant was full. My husband called the restaurant to see if they had availability in the next 10 minutes, luckily for us there was a free table. We were met with a welcome smile and seated straight away. Our son wanted pasta with chilli but didn't want it too spicy and the owner was accommodating and said he would make it to the acquired spice. 10/10 for that kind offer. I had a lasagne which was absolutely amazing, my husband had the chicken risotto and my other son had a pepperoni pizza. Needless to say all our plates were clean by the end of the meal. We thoroughly enjoyed every single bite. We don't live around this area but my goodness what a hidden gem to stumble across. Thank you for a wonderful meal in your lovely restaurant. If we were local we would be back time and time again. 100% recommend this place

A hidden gem !! A cozy little Italian restaurant for great food. Be it Pizza or Pasta, they do it right. Like home cooked meals. Do make sure you leave room for the homemade Tiramisu. The service is excellent. Warm, friendly, witty and caring. Although I don't drink alcohol now, the Pecorino desert wine smelled good and was thoroughly enjoyed by my friend. Wish it was closer to home to visit more often.
