Pappardelle al Manzo
£14.95Slow-braised beef ragù, ribbon pasta rolled that morning, aged Parmigiano and a crack of black pepper. Our most ordered dish — and it shows.
"Un piccolo angolo d'Italia nel cuore di Kidderminster"
Hand-made pasta, wood-fired classics and warm hospitality from Chef Billy.
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.
