About Pasta Di Piazza
Pasta Di Piazza is an Italian restaurant on Brook Street in the Jewellery Quarter, set inside a red-brick Victorian building with flower baskets and exposed brick walls. Alongside lasagne, risotto and other traditional pasta dishes, the menu includes lobster ravioli and linguine with octopus. Tiramisu rounds out dessert, and the wine list pairs Italian bottles with a house white.

The restaurant is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently return for the pasta and standout dishes like the lasagne, praised as a comfort dish done well, alongside the Lobster Ravioli and a risotto described as creamy with perfect consistency. Many highlight generous portions and dishes served hot, with meat dishes and the linguine octopus also earning praise, plus a wine list several call exceptional. The Jewellery Quarter setting, exposed brick, and courtyard seating draw repeated mention as ideal for romantic dinners, birthdays, and Valentine's meals, with service usually called attentive without being pushy. One reviewer names a server who made their evening special. A couple of notes push back on the pattern: one visit found seating upstairs unusually quiet, and one returning diner found the food tasteless on a later visit with service not quite as good as before. Several say they'll return specifically for the tiramisu or to work through more of the menu.

“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.”
