About Sanremo The Italian Restaurant
Sanremo holds the #1 position in Walcot's Italian dining landscape, anchored by a 4.7-star consensus across nearly 1,300 reviews. The kitchen delivers with precision: carbonara praised for generosity, beef cheeks that impress even seasoned diners, spinach and ricotta ravioli that justifies a return visit, and arancini that set the tone from the first bite. The wine list earns consistent mention, and desserts—often arriving as surprise birthday treats—carry the same care as mains. But what truly distinguishes Sanremo is its staff. Daria, Armand, Naveen, and Stefania appear across recent reviews as proactive, warm presences who elevate a meal into an occasion. First-time visitors note the immediate welcome; regulars speak of feeling "treated like kings." The space itself—cosy, romantic, upscale without pretension—accommodates families with high chairs, groups of nine, and solo diners equally. Wheelchair access throughout, paid parking nearby, and a full bar stocked with cocktails, wine, and coffee round out a venue that functions as confidently for a Monday night as a Saturday celebration.
Sanremo The Italian Restaurant earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wine selection — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.
