We came because it was recommended. Restaurant inside the museum, very clean, small but welcoming. The food was really great, we ate some fish which was delicious. The meatballs tasted like the meatballs my grandmother made. Prices were average for a seafood menu. Recommended for those who want to feel like they are in Italy for a few hours.

We have been to The Higgins Pantry many times and had great food and it’s always friendly. We love the restaurant so much we had our wedding celebration there too! They couldn’t have done more for us. The day was wonderful, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere and staff were amazing. We’ll be booking a regular table for life. Top marks!!!

This place doesn’t miss. It’s like eating in Italy but in Bedford. It’s supplied by the excellent A1 foods wholesaler so you know the produce is authentic and from Italy. Everything is faultless, food, drinks, service and well priced – a must visit.

This wasn’t my first time dining at ‘The Pantry’ so my expectations were high after previous postive experiences with their service and food, however this is my first review of this friendly and well known Bedford Italian eatery. On arrival we were given a warm welcome by the front of house staff and were shown to our table promptly. There was certainly plenty of space between tables which in my opinion certainly made it covid friendly. The informal, warm and relaxed atmosphere certainly encourages a postive and enjoyable dining experience also. We ordered six tapas dishes off of the tapas menu which were delicious, freshly cooked and vibrant. I would certainly recommend you try the sautéed King Prawns and the Whitebait which were very moreish!! For my main course I ordered the Pasta Cozze which was spaghetti with mussels cooked in a white wine sauce with cherry tomatoes. All my mussels were prepared, and cooked beautifully. The spaghetti was perfectly al-dente which I prefer, and in my opinion is just how it should be cooked. My wife ordered the chicken cutlet with fries and salad which she enjoyed. The bread crumb coating covering the chicken wasn’t soaked in oil but delightfully golden brown and crispy. We also sampled the lobster ravioli which was cooked to perfection along with a homemade
pizza which my son really enjoyed. It has been a while since we had previously dined at the pantry, but I can honestly say in my opinion the service and food has remained excellent. Thank you for an excellent lunch, and we will certainly return again soon.

This place is quite the find. We were looking for somewhere nice for lunch in Bedford and found it online. I must say this is some of the best Italian food I’ve had in the UK. Strongly recommend. Also fantastic service.

We booked a table outside months in advance but the restaurant had given it to someone else – they offered a smaller table outside after a while but by then we’d settled inside – a bit disappointing. Other than this the service was very friendly and efficient. The food was ok – cannelloni beans on toast starter was fresh but needed a twist of salt or something to give it an edge. The main vegan salad was also cannelloni beans with broccoli – and again needed something else to give it some impact – half way through I found myself not really wanting to keep eating it so I stopped and took the rest away – with some salt and chilli oil added as home with a squeeze of lemon it perked up. The best dish was the side order of chips – hot and crispy with fluff interior. So overall an enjoyable experience but fairly average food.

Pizza was fantastic, my partner got gluten free and it was by far the best gluten free pizza base she’s ever had, the texture of the base was spot on, it was almost identical to my regular pizza. Will definitely be going back. Really good price, £23 for two pizzas

Had such a lovely meal here last night the food was incredible and portion sizes were amazing especially for very reasonable prices. We had a lovely waitress sadly can’t remember her name though! They were just starting to have live music as we left but even before the vibes were lovely. Only thing is you can’t go for a long meal you only have the table for just over an hour due to lots of bookings and not many tables. We did have to finish up so the next people could have our table but they were pleasant about it and apologetic. Also LOVED they bring you a pot of Parmesan so there’s no awkward tell me when to stop!

I came for lunch yesterday, greeted as soon as we entered,taken to a seat that we had booked..a very noisy table nearby..the waiter who i think was the manager served us…waited not to long for our food, I noticed as we were eating he kept coming past our table to see if we had finished..when we had he didn’t come to our table and take the plates he came to the side and leant over me behind a small wall and took our plates.We wanted desert so waited for him to come back, he didn’t as he was busy and the place was filling up..but not once did he look over again after sitting there fifteen minutes after our meal or send someone else over with a desert menu ..we left and went somewhere else for desert and coffees where the service was wonderful…I wont come back again..I have been here a few times when it was under different management, food lovely but the noise and atmosphere im sorry is not to my liking.
