Quick Verdict
Locals go back because the food's genuinely good and the staff treat you like you matter, not like a table number. That's rarer than it should be.
Book if you want proper Italian food in a place that doesn't treat special occasions as an afterthought — they'll remember your birthday without you reminding them twice.
Skip if you're after a quick bite or cheap eats; this is a proper sit-down dinner with prices to match upscale dining.
About Sanremo The Italian Restaurant
Sanremo's the kind of Italian restaurant that shows up on High Street and doesn't need to shout about it. 4.7 stars across 1,279 reviews tells you people keep coming back, and the reviews explain why — carbonara described as "gorgeous and so generous with portions", spinach and ricotta ravioli that lands, and a kitchen that doesn't phone it in on a Monday night. The atmosphere reads as cosy but upscale, the sort of place where staff remember your anniversary and bring out a surprise glass of bubbly without being asked. Dogs are welcome inside, kids get high chairs and genuine attention (not just tolerance), and the bar's got enough wine and cocktails to justify lingering. Service gets named specifically in almost every review — Stefania, Naveen, Armand, Daria — which means either they're unusually good or the restaurant actually trains people to care. Probably both. It's family-friendly and LGBTQ+ safe, which matters if you're tired of places that claim one thing and feel another. Reservations are recommended, especially weekends.
What Stands Out
Staff that actually remembers your name
Reviewers specifically name Stefania, Naveen, Armand, and Daria across multiple reviews. One customer noted Stefania left 'a sweet note', another praised Daria as 'incredibly friendly and warm' with visible passion for her job. Multiple reviews mention surprise birthday treatments — bubbly, mini desserts — suggesting the team's trained to notice and act on occasions.
Generous portions and fresh execution
Carbonara described as 'gorgeous and so generous with portions', spinach and ricotta ravioli praised as 'delicious'. One reviewer called it 'the best restaurant in bath' specifically citing portion size and flavour. Food consistency shows across 15 recent reviews with no complaints about quality or freshness.
Atmosphere that works for different occasions
Reviews describe it as 'cosy', 'romantic', and 'trendy'. Handles group dinners (9 people had 'the best time'), anniversaries, birthdays, and solo diners equally well. One reviewer praised 'beautiful ambience'; another noted it was 'well attended' even on a Monday night, suggesting reliable crowd and energy.
