Our Story

A hidden gem in the heart of Kidderminster

Tucked away on New Road, Love Food Italia is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant where the pasta is rolled each morning, the sauces simmer for hours, and every guest is greeted like family.

Chef Billy brings the flavours of home — generous plates of pappardelle al ragù, silky carbonara, and tiramisu made the way his nonna taught him. No shortcuts. No fuss. Just honest Italian cooking served in an intimate, candlelit room.

Whether you're popping in for a midweek set menu or celebrating an occasion over a bottle of Chianti, you'll leave feeling like you've been somewhere a little further south than the Midlands.
