Villa Romana — Italian Restaurant Liverpool

A textbook Italian on Wood Street

Villa Romana is an authentic Italian restaurant on Wood Street that has been a Liverpool city-centre favourite for decades. The setting is wholeheartedly rustic — exposed brickwork, tiled floors, arches, beamed ceilings, chunky wooden furniture and checked tablecloths, finished with Italianate frescoes and murals. It’s quaint, old-fashioned and refreshingly unpretentious, with famously fast, attentive service.

What to order

The kitchen’s pride is genuine Neapolitan pizza, hand-made on site — from a classic margherita to spicy pepperoni and folded calzone. Alongside it sits a wide range of Italian cooking: freshly made pasta (carbonara, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne), grilled and pan-fried meat and fish, antipasti, speciality breads and salads. The seafood spaghetti is a regular highlight.

Who it’s for

Villa Romana is a great choice for a relaxed dinner, a date or a family meal. Its unpretentious charm and quick service make it as good for a casual bite as for a longer evening.
