Inside it seats around 30 and is decorated in a modern style that still manages to be warm and welcoming. We visited recently for a meal for 4 on a Friday evening. The restaurant was nearly full. All our starters and mains were served in a timely manner and were delicious. I ordered the scallops and duck and both were brilliant. This is not a mega cheap place but it is worth the money charged. We spent around £35 per head with drinks. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming.

It doesn't look much from the outside but from the moment you go in, you are made to feel at home. A clean modern restaurant. All our food was served promptly, and was devoured just as promptly - all excellent. I have visited many "Italian" Restaurants both in Italy & here in the UK and I have to say this is certainly in my top ten! Good food made from quality ingredients, with excellent service is never cheap (if cheap is what you want, there are many pub restaurants to choose from) La Nonna is reasonably priced for the standard of food & service you receive, you can pay a lot more elsewhere for a lot less! Well worth a visit

I went for the bruschetta to start which was served with roasted vegetables which was both fresh and a great start to the meal.....I then had the lasagna for my main. I couldn't go for an italian and not try the lasagne its just an absolute staple. This one was light and delicious with loads of cheese......a bit of a naughty but nice vibe.....you could literally taste the calories! My mates went for carbonara type dishes and everything again looked fresh well presented. I also need to mention they have a dough station/chef making fresh pizza bases at the back on the shop.....I bet the pizzas are amazing....will be back. The meal with wine came to around £60 for the three off us which i thought was really reasonable! Dont be put off by the no frills look of the front of this place its got a great vibe and some seriously good food!

If you're into authentic Italian dining, then Casa Italia could well be the place for you. Located on the Hagley Road, heading into town, the Italian offers a wide range of traditional meals, that you would come to expect from such an establishment. Not only do they serve great food, but the top quality customer service alongside it, is a joy to behold. After passing by Casa Italia on numerous occasions, I must admit, I had my doubts, but I was proven wrong. The Calzone I ordered, for just over £10 was more than I could stomach, but how much I did eat, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I will definitely be back after what I could only describe as a pleasantly surprising dining experience.

On Thursday night I headed over to Ponte Di Legno with two friends. We had all been before and the…read morequality food and bring your own bottle policy have always been a big draw. This time we were seated in the front half of the restaurant which is a little bright for my liking, but the restaurant was not overly full and had a pleasant atmosphere. Upon arrival we ordered a portion of bruchetta to nibble on while browsing the menu. Considering there were three of us, I was pleasantly surprised that one portion was large enough to keep us all going. This is definitely a starter to share as it would be too large for one. When eating at Italian restaurants I tend to avoid pasta dishes, simply because I usually find that they are quite small (and I have a big apetite). However, this time I was drawn to the Rigatoni Salmone e Granchio (pasta with salmon and crab meat in a slightly creamy tomato sauce). When the food came I was amazed to see that the portion was huge. The food was also piping hot, another novelty for most restaurants. We topped off the meal with a cheesy garlic pizza bread. Overall, the food was lovely and great value for money. By the end of the meal we were all full to capacity, and pleasantly tipsy, all for less than £20 a head

We had recently come back from Italy when we went so had experienced authentic Italian food. We both agreed we would defiantly go back, my boyfriend had a pizza and I had a steak. They were both really good, I had the biscuit/ice cream desert which is one of the best deserts I've ever had. I would solely go back just to have it again. We had 3 courses each and paid about £60, it would have been about £50 if I hadn't had the steak but it was worth it and would highly recommend this restaurant.

We finally had the chance, following a morning trip to the cinema to pop in for a quick lunch. We ordered a Hot Hot Hot pizza to share, and a could of beers. The beer the other half wanted wasn't available but our server took great delight in taking us through the Morrerti specials that Laghi's stock. His suggestion was spot on! The pizza itself was thin, flavoursome and just enough for a lunch time snack, but we would definitely prefer two next time! Sweet treats of doughnuts and strudel followed, and that drew are first experience to a close. But definitely not our last!

Pictured is a special seafood pasta. I recommend the Ragu tagliatelle , pizza and whatever is on the specials !

I first heard about Gio's when the gent himself contacted me about his new restaurant venture in…read moreWalsall. As well as running a restaurant in a little community centre, he also runs a number of classes in the Community on healthy eating to help educate children and parents about sourcing ingredients and the benefits of eating good food. When he invited me down to have a look at the place and have a chat about it, I couldn't help but say yes! First thing to note is that (depending on which way you get down there), it can be a little difficult to find. Hidden on a housing estate, Gio's deli is situated on the corner of a cul-de-sac within a community centre. It took us a little while to get there by car, but that's mainly due to the traffic on the motorway. On a good day (traffic wise) I reckon you could get there by car within around 25 minutes. You can catch public transport to Walsall, but a cab from the centre would be recommended if you plan on visiting. Gio's ethos is about providing good, Italian food without the snobbiness or high price tag. His prices are extremely fair! Last night me and Dan went down for dinner and a three course meal (including a coffee) was the less-than-princely sum of £13.50. Main dishes start from £3.50 and there are a number of options for smaller plates (if you don't have a huge appetite). It's also BYOB - so feel free to take down a bottle of wine or some good beers to accompany your Italian feast! It really is a lovely little restaurant. It feels like you're stepping into Gio's living room as the space is warm, welcoming and you are surrounded by knickknacks and trinkets (I particularly liked the collection of teapots). We were welcomed as soon as we stepped in the door and were served by Gio's daughter, Gabriella, who is the front of house while the man himself cooks all of the food. As I am one for a big dinner (I know, shock right?), we opted for the 3 course and cracked open our wine. The first course was a selection of Antipasto including cured meats, the most amazing focaccia I have ever eaten and a piece of frittata. We were also bought over olive oil, balsamic vinegar and an infused chilli oil to drizzle over our food. It was all 100% spot on. No complaints whatsoever! It's also worth nothing that there are quite a few vegetarian options on the menu - so have at it veggies! Between courses, Gio came over and we had a lovely chat about the area, his time in Italy (he has Italian roots and is keen to create genuinely authentic food) and the aims of the restaurant and the classes. He bakes and makes everything fresh, so no store bought boring pasta here - it's all freshly made. Our main course was a selection of 4 pastas. We had a veggie lasagne, a meat lasagne, a dish with thick "noodle" style pasta and veg and gnocchi. I'm not normally a fan of gnocchi, but this was lighter than I was expecting (as was the lasagne which is made with crepes rather than pasta sheets). Again, this was all amazing - but I was STUFFED afterwards! We had to have a break after this as we had dessert coming! The dessert ended up being fantastic too - like a creme caramel made with egg custard. I just about managed to finish everything, but I was struggling to keep my eyes open after the meal with the delicious mix of the warm surroundings, good food and homely atmosphere. I loved our visit to Gio's. Racking up a bill of just £27.50, there is really NOTHING to complain about. We were even given a bag of focaccia to take away, so we could warm it up and enjoy it at home! I can't think of a more pleasant way to spend a Monday evening than enjoying some great food with great company and a great place. Gio.... My only issue is that you are too far away to pop in often, but believe you me - we'll be back!
