Discover Restaurants offering the best Mediterranean food in Cotswolds, England, United Kingdom. The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

I visited Toniâs Kitchen for the first time this week after hearing raving reports on this fine Italian hot spot in the Cotswolds and it far exceeded my expectations. Booking to be advised as I understand people are beginning to travel from other counties to experience what this place has to offer. With a warm, welcoming and intimate interior, the knowledgable and attentive front of house staff showered us with the best of Italian hospitality. The ever changing menu was peppered full of a variety of dishes to suit every palette and dietary requirement. I struggled to choose between the dishes on offer - each one sounding staggeringly good. Toniâs Kitchen proudly displays a sign above the kitchen door - âour happy placeâ and how fitting. The head chef and owner Jason Orsi is clearly more than a chef- he is an artist at work. Everything on the menu is all made freshly in house, from ravioli to ice cream, created from a palette of ingredients and condiments that are responsibly and carefully sourced for their quality, sustainability and taste.Not forgetting younger guests- children are welcomed and can choose from the main menu too; a whole family dining experience- typical of the welcoming and inclusive culture that sets Italy apart. The garden is also worth a mention - plenty of outdoor dining space that is trailing with edibles growing from every corner which I am told is used on the restaurant menu - Jerusalem artichokes form a windbreak and an attractive screen and appears on the menu in a gratin and Nasturtiums brighten borders as well as the humous appetiser that is jewelled with pomegranate and accompanied by fresh in-house baked loaves. I can honestly say that I ate the best meal of my life in Toniâs Kitchen and will be returning very soon. My advice to anyone who is visiting anywhere near the Cotswolds is to visit this charming little piece of Italy and for those who follow the finest, keep your eye on this place. We left feeling more than satiated and were taken on a memorable culinary and cultural journey.

Lovely local restaurant, have eaten there a few times with friends & everyone has always had good meals. The service is always friendly & attentive, it is always busy & for good reason. Think over all value & portions good, have had the starter size risotto for main before. Extensive menu choice which normally makes me nervous about quality but between us we have had several dishes & all the starters & mains are fab, especially the risottos. But feel the desserts are disappointing (tiramsu is OK) after the choice & quality of other courses. Luckily always full after main but would love to have choice of really good home made Italian desserts.

Exceptional food and great hosts. Colosseo offers a wide variety of Italian specialties. My wife really enjoyed the spaghetti Bolognese and I had one of the night specials, seafood risotto. The portions were quite plentiful and the tastes was wonderful. The hosts were extremely friendly and accommodating.

Lovely welcoming restaurant with a nice varied menu and excellent service. A couple more menu choices on the starters and desserts might have been nice, but otherwise faultless. We were running late and they were so nice about it!

We found Tierra & Mar by accident, on the Internet. We often eat in Cirencester and the Restaurants are mostly in the same street; this restaurant is about 150m away and whilst they've been there for two years, we hadn't seen it before.Food is Tapas based and we found some really good Vegetarian choices, generous portions for Tapas. All were tasty, well explained and lovingly cooked.We'll be back.
