About Grande italia restaurant
Cooking happens on the premises at Grande italia restaurant, an Italian restaurant on Westward Rd in Stroud, where dishes are made fresh rather than bought in ready made. The gamberoni piccante is one of the named plates from that kitchen, alongside pizza and options built around chicken and fish, and portions come out large. A wine list runs beside the food, with a house wine and bottles such as Montepulciano. Waiting staff serve at the table and check back through the meal. The restaurant opens daily, taking walk-ins, with Saturday lunchtime service as well as evening meals. Seasonal décor goes up for occasions such as Valentine's, and birthdays are marked at the table.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the friendly, attentive service, with several describing staff who are chatty without ignoring other tables and a warm welcome on arrival. The food draws steady praise for being tasty, hot and generously portioned, and one reviewer names the gamberoni picante while another enjoyed the pizza, chicken and fish freshly cooked. Wine gets its own mention, with a Montepulciano liked by one diner and the house wine called excellent value by another. Value for money comes up repeatedly, and one visitor who drove an hour said the meal reminded them of a holiday in Italy. A birthday diner says the staff made the evening feel personal despite the Valentine's décor. The one criticism is the look of the room, where a reviewer found the harsh lighting and the furniture made it feel more like a café than a restaurant and wished for tablecloths, though the absence did not take away from the food. Several describe it as a find they stumbled on, and two plan to return.

“Lovely little find. Stumbled upon this restaurant and so glad we did! Lovely food and very nice staff, up for a chat and a laugh without ignoring other customers. Food was lovely, with good quality ingredients and decent portions. Wine was nice, too (we had the Montepulciano). Didn't ask, but it seems like everything is made fresh on the premesis and not just bought in ready made from a wholesaler. Only real criticism would be the quite harsh lighting and the furniture which made it feel a bit less like a restaurant and a bit more like a café. Some tablecloths would be nice but their absence didn't distract from the food, and that is why we were there, of course.”

“We ended up at Grande Italia restaurant by accident on our way back from the Cotswolds, and it was a fantastic find. The value for money was excellent, the service was very attentive, and the food was delicious. The portions were also very generous.”
