This restaurant isnât your average Italian. If you want the typical Italian food that you find in almost every run of the mill Italian restaurant in the UK then this isnât the place for you! Yes they do have your typical carbonara and Bolognese and wonderful Pizzaâs but they have oh so much more regional dishes. If you want food like you would have in Italy then this is the restaurant for you. 6 of us visited and I have to admit we can be difficult customers but not one of us had cause to complain the service was excellent and the food was simply stunning, plentiful, fresh and absolutely delicious. Itâs not cheap but I do not begrudge paying for something special and this foods is special. We all look forward to returning, try the fried polenta as a starter and the seared Tuna main is another level! They also have a Sicilian vegetable dish as a side. No exaggeration, one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. Their pasta is made on the premises and is amazing , I hate tiramisu, but I loved theirs, and the pistachio ice cream was superb. Everything you eat is homemade. This place is a little gem, a real treat. A little piece of real Italy in St Albans.

Another happy visit to Carmeloâs. We had absolutely delicious seafood risotto: excellently prepared by the always chatty and bubbly chef Vincenzo. Andrea and Sunna were as professional and friendly as always: made us feel welcome all evening. I highly recommend it!!Thank you for your feedback. It is very much appreciated. We hope to welcome you soon. Carmeloâs Kitchen

We had lunch here last Friday. The set menu prices offer great value for money. The portion sizes arenât small either. Lots of choices too. Our grandson had the childrenâs menu. He enjoyed his carbonara dish. The staff were lovely and welcoming towards our 3 year old grandson. The whole place is spotlessly clean. I couldnât believe how large the restaurant is. A small opening off the street but vast inside. Can thoroughly recommend. Weâll return again.

My family and I had great concerns when Bar Espresso moved to DavVero The Quadrant Street St Albans in February of this year. We felt the move to larger premises might diminish the wonderful family atmosphere and greater demand might cause the standard of their superb food to slip. Not a bit of it! DavVero is an outstanding gastronomic delight. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. My family and I dine there at least once a week. I recommend the Cozze alla Marinara and Focaccia. For mains the pasta is outstanding and the staff will always provide a childrens' portion as a starter, or if you are not that hungry. I particularly recommend the Carbonara and Ca Sosizza. My own particular favourite main is the calves liver. The pizzas are lovely and again chidrens' sizes are available. For dessert the Tartuffo Limoncello and Homemade Tiruaisu will send you into a very tasty orbit! The wine list is comprehensive and the wines are reasonably priced. Families are welcome and highchairs are available. The beauty of this restaurant is you can eat cheaply or really have an expensive blow out! There is a terrific bustling "Italian" atmosphere and you can really imagine you are in Sicily itself in a restaurant in Taormina, Cefalu or Agrigento. However, such is this restaurant's popularity I would urge you to book well in advance. Enjoy ! Cecilia & Steve.

La Cosa Nostra in St Albans is a short walk from the main train station or the town centre. Parking nearby is an issue.Very basic tables inside but small and cosy with a nice atmosphere.Friendly service and the fresh cooked food- you can see the chef at work, was very tasty.A pleasant first time and good prices for the area. would def return.

Everything we ate this evening was delicious. As a vegetarian, I sometimes struggle to find anything I would want to eat but here there was choice. I had bruschetta, melanzane parmigiana, pumpkin and ricotta tortelloni and a panna cotta all perfectly cooked and super tasty. I spent two weeks in Italy over the summer and can confidently say this is the best Italian food I have eaten all year.
