About La Villa Verde
La Villa Verde is an Italian restaurant and cocktail bar on Cheadle Rd in Stoke On Trent, where a wood fire burns in the dining room. The kitchen sources its fresh ingredients from Italy and prepares a menu of 70 dishes. Starters include Calamari Fritti and Cozze, and Gamberoni La Villa Verde appears on the menu under the restaurant's own name. A cocktail bar runs alongside the dining room, so the restaurant serves drinks as well as full meals. Reservations are required.

Customer Review Summary
Roast octopus is the dish reviewers raise most, grilled with a deep savoury flavour, chewy outside and tender inside, with oregano and lemon. Close behind are the staff, called attentive and exceptional, and the authentic Italian cooking. Other named dishes include lasagne, a calzone, garlic bread, fries, a chicken in creamy sauce cooked not dry, and a spinach and ricotta cannelloni that one repeat visitor calls the highlight for the vegetarians in the party. Classic tiramisu earns praise for its creamy layer and amaretto note. The caveats are mild: one reviewer felt service on a busy Saturday could use a more personal touch, and another calls the lasagne a staple unlikely to blow anyone away. A party of nine who pre-ordered had their food arrive quickly and piping hot.

“We were here last night for a retirement meal as a party of 9. We’d pre-ordered our food & it came out so quickly after arrival, all very tasty & piping hot. The highlight of our visit is always the spinach & ricotta cannelloni as 2 of the party are vegetarians. We’ve been multiple times & always had great food!”

“My favourite Italian in Stoke-on-Trent. Always very nice food, if I'm going to be extra critical, yes as always there is room for improvement. The staff are excellent and atmosphere is very nice. We are lucky to have a restaurant this good and ambitious in Stoke-on-Trent. 4.8 out of 5 star for me. They're always improving so won't be long before is a solid 5 stars and maybe beyond”

“One of best Italian restaurants I got a chance to eat at. Food was delicious. I choice was an chicken with creamy sauce. Meat was cooked just right, not dry just like it should be. Aslo as a side order I chose some fires. Those was a delicious side to main I got. Made fresh with some extra spices and herbs which make it just awesomely good! Definitely worth to stop and dine.”

“A really surprising find! Having not long moved to the area I've found the amount of restaurants to be a bit limited. Had driven past this place a few times but hadn't expected much from it given the standard of other nearby places. The end result exceeded my expectations, the food was a really good standard, well presented and delicious so kudos to the chefs. Service was good but could perhaps be improved by a more personal touch. The food speaks for itself though and makes up for this. For context though, it was a busy Saturday service, perhaps I'll return for a weekday and see how that pans out. Prices were good too! I'll definitely return and would recommend!”

“This restaurant is local for us, I’m not sure why it took so long for us to try it but we were happy that we did. The decor is sophisticated and there is a nice ambiance to the place. Food and service were both excellent, it was nice to have Italian dessert options outside of the usual tiramisu (although they do offer that). I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and would visit again.”
