Went here for dinner with my mum and we were blown away by the quality of the food! We had the garlic prawns and calamari to start, the prawns were so incredibly fresh and delicious and the calamari was so yum and comforting. For mains we shared the diavola pizza and the squid ink salmon ravioli, the pizza was very very good….. but the pasta might actually be some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had in a restaurant, both me and my mum commented on how incredibly fresh and delicious the sauce was, such an incredible dish and would return just for that! Service was incredible, everyone was so so friendly and nice. Could not recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for an independent restaurant with incredible food and a lovely vibe to sit and have a few drinks, this is the place 🍕💕💕

Popped in randomly, and found a wonderful, authentic Italian place in the middle of Oxford. The caprese was fresh, with home grown basil; the calamari fritti was delicious, and the homemade tiramisu was delightful. The staff, Kirsty and the owners, were warm and welcoming, and happy to accommodate me. Highly recommend and will definitely return!!

Lovely Italian trattoria right next to their sister cafeteria. I tried both: the best barese focaccia I have ever had from the cafeteria and brilliant malloreddus from the trattoria. Lovely friendly staff and extra bonus: owner is Sardinian hence the Sardegna items on the menu.

I had a great meal this afternoon at ItaliAmo in Oxford.
I ordered the Caesar Salad and Casarecce Al Forno Alla Siciliana, both of which were absolutely delicious. They perfectly captured the essence of an authentic Italian dish. I can confidently say that I made the right choice when I followed the advice of the restaurant’s lady.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Oxford.

Oh I love this place ! We were just around the area and was craving for Italian and this restaurant popped up , even though it was quite loved the vibe and warm welcome from the server / manager , it picked up a few tables later on .

Loved the tomato with mozzarella and fresh basil , we had both each pasta .
The linguine Setefano was a BOMB MUST TRY THAT, my bolognese was good too ! last but not least the Tiramisu 😍😍nailed it at the end .

Really nice food. Fresh Neapolitan pizza with some tasty ingredients (I went with salami and onion chutney with chili oil). Friendly staff and reasonably priced. I also appreciated the optional service charge was clearly shown on the bill. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Italiamo Trattoria on Broad Street! The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The pizzas were some of the best we've ever had – the dough undergoes a 2-day fermentation process, giving it a perfect texture and depth of flavor. Combined with top-quality, fresh ingredients, every bite was exceptional. A true gem in Oxford – we would strongly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality Italian food!

Exceptional, the food is excellent. We ordered, the "Culurgiones", the "Malloreddus alla Campidanese" various pizzas including the "porcellina", "Risotto ai fungo porcini", not forgetting the desserts, super the "baba'". Thanks for the service and excellent location. Go there, you will not be disappointed, on the contrary!

The spaghetti was incredible!!! The staff was lovely but definitely they are under staffed! Only one person was taking everybodys orders and they did not have any shakes or hot chocolate so making sure to only show what is available will be better. The spaghetti and the calzone was amazing but moving the tables away from the door will be better.
