I can’t thank the team at carbonara Chester enough.Everything from making the reservation ,to the food and service was flawless.
Being as we were a large table of 15 sitting upstairs I was concerned that the service would be different to what were used to but the service was fast as usual each course was brought promptly but with enough time in between.
The staff gave exceptional service, half of our guest were Italian speaking and half were English and the staff were able to explain meals in both English and Italian which is a great asset to carbonara as it made communication seamless for everyone.
Every guest left with full stomachs and smiles thanks to the staff at carbonara Chester , the food was delicious as always and there wasn’t a plate left with food remaining. Some of our table were returning guests and ventured out by trying the specials for that day and not one person was disappointed!
Great value food, would recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

I recently dined at Carbonara, a charming little Italian restaurant in Chester, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The decor is cozy and authentic, perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed meal with friends.
But the real star of the show was the food—absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with fresh, authentic flavors, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend their namesake Carbonara—it was rich, creamy, and just like you’d find in Italy, veg and Gluten free available!
A special shout-out to Julius, who provided excellent hospitality. He was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind, making sure our dining experience was flawless. His passion for great service and delicious food really shines through.
If you’re in Chester and craving real Italian cuisine, Carbonara is a must-visit. Thank you, Julius and the team, for a wonderful evening—I’ll definitely be back soon.

This is the best fine dining Italian restaurant in Chester.
The service from greeting to end was immaculate from all members of staff, the atmosphere was lovely and cosy and perfect for our anniversary meal. Orders were taken in what felt like the perfect timings, no super long wait and not to rushed even though the place was busy, it felt like a smooth well organised pace.
The Food –
A great sized menu, not too big or small, and for my girlfriend who is vegetarian, all the pasta dishes could be made vegetarian, so it was perfect.
We had 3 courses, and each portion size was fantastically proportional to not making you feel too full but just the right amount of full at the end of the meal.
I had garlic bruschetta and Sam had Arancini. Both were absolutely amazing, and to be honest the side salad was delicious too!
For mains I had carbonara (had to be done in a place named after it) and Sam had Pasta al Pesto Romano. My carbonara was one of the best I’ve ever had, I need to know what cut of bacon they used because the flavour was so smoked and powerful, it was some of the best meat I’ve tasted in the UK.
Sam said her dish was beautiful! She would happily have it multiple times over!
For Dessert, Sam had what she described as the best Tiramisu she’s ever had, and I had a fresh and beautiful lemon tart. Not the best I’ve ever had but the strawberries and syrup were very nice components.
Overall, I’d come back here for special occasions because its on the pricoer side in my opinion, however I do recommend coming here for a gorgeous Italian meal.

Fantastic restaurant. We were a table of 13 for a late lunch and were seated at a large table upstairs. The food was excellent. I didn’t get the waiters name but he was a lovely young lad, nothing was too much trouble. Great menu with something for everyone, and it was probably the best Italian food ive eaten outside of Italy. We had one gluten free who was happily catered for (and the gluten free pasta was reportedly also delicious). For the quality of food (and the quantity – no small portions here!) It was very good value. Would recommend and will visit again should we find ourselves in Chester in the future.

We visited Carbonara and had a great experience. The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. The staff were very attentive and friendly, with the perfect balance of being helpful without being intrusive. We ordered the Scottish Angus beef with roasted potatoes and everything was delicious. The meat was very tender and the potatoes were perfectly roasted. For dessert we had the apple tart, which was also excellent and a perfect way to finish the dinner. Definitely recommend this place for a nice dinner with family or your partner.
Grazie mille!
Дуже дякуємо!

Food was fantastic. Lots of choice especially given I’m gluten free. Services was lacking. When we entered our party of 2 were 50 percent of the customers yet it took a while to get service which was disappointing. I’d still go back for the food though

Carbonara in Chester is outstanding in every possible way.
From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth, genuine hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels effortlessly elegant yet comforting.
The food is exceptional — authentic Italian flavours, beautifully balanced, and clearly made with care, passion, and high-quality ingredients. Every dish tastes like it’s been perfected. The pasta and the other dishes we had were cooked to absolute perfection, the sauces are rich, and the flavours linger in the best way.
Service is equally impressive: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without ever feeling intrusive. You’re made to feel like a valued guest rather than just another table.
Carbonara isn’t just a restaurant — it’s an experience. Whether you’re visiting Chester or lucky enough to live nearby, this is a place you must try and will absolutely want to return to. Easily one of the best dining spots in the city.
Highly, highly recommended.

I had an amazing dining experience at this authentic Italian restaurant run by Romans. The food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed their seafood pasta so much – every strand was perfectly coated with rich, flavourful sauce. Highly recommended! The service was exceptional too. They warmly shared the fascinating history of the restaurant building, which added a special touch to our meal. Just a heads-up: the restaurant isn’t on the ground floor, so after reaching the navigation point, you’ll need to climb a few steps to get there!
