“If you like Italian food and wine you will love this restaurant. An exceptional list of some top Italian wines that complement their quality food menu with a good selection of specials as well. Now my favourite Italian restaurant in Birmingham.”

“Came here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was absolutely perfect for a date night with a delicious meal. The food was superb with very generous portions, and their house white wine was delish! Definitely recommend”

“The food and atmosphere were excellent. Setareh looked after us all evening—she was friendly, incredibly polite, and attentive to every detail. She really made the experience special. 🫶🏼 I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely be returning!”

“Tucked away in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, Pasta Di Piazza offers a refreshing reminder of what a traditional Italian restaurant should feel like — warm, relaxed, and centred around good food and conversation rather than trends or gimmicks. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere feels welcoming and cosy. The exposed brick walls and soft lighting give the restaurant a rustic charm that makes it ideal for both romantic dinners and casual evenings with friends. Unlike many busy city restaurants, the environment encourages you to slow down and enjoy the experience rather than rush through your meal The menu focuses on classic Italian dishes, and this simplicity works in its favour. The pasta tastes freshly prepared, with sauces that are rich without being overwhelming. The lasagne stands out as a comfort dish done exceptionally well — layered, flavourful, and satisfying. Portions are generous, making the meal feel good value for money, especially considering the central Birmingham location. Another highlight is the overall pace of dining. Meals are served at a comfortable rhythm, allowing time to enjoy conversation between courses — something that reflects authentic Italian dining culture. Pasta Di Piazza is not about flashy presentation or modern fusion cuisine; instead, it delivers honest, traditional Italian food in a warm and inviting setting. It’s the kind of place you return to because it feels reliable, comforting, and genuinely enjoyable every time.”

Customer Review Summary
Pasta Di Piazza draws its strongest praise for pasta and risotto, with reviewers singling out the lasagne as a comfort dish, the creamy risotto, and the lobster ravioli described as rich and perfectly seasoned. Close behind are the goat's cheese starter, the linguine with octopus and the tiramisu, with generous, hot portions mentioned repeatedly. Several describe the atmosphere as welcoming, from the courtyard that felt like a small Italian town to the exposed brick and the suitability for date nights and birthdays. Reviewers also highlight an Italian wine list and the house white. Service is called friendly and attentive without being pushy. The caveats are small but specific. One returning diner found the food tasteless on a second visit a year later, with service nice but not as good as before. Another was seated upstairs and found the floor very quiet, with their party alone at first. One reviewer describes a regular twice-yearly trip where they always overorder and finish everything.
