Amazing service and food . Very reasonable priced and nice to see lots of gluten free choice. Highly recommended to go. I would ring to book a table. If you have special diet requirements they are very helpful.

Went for a meal with my wife, as we had a gift voucher, never been there before, but what a surprise, the setting created an Italian atmosphere and the food was superb, the taste, the freshness and nice and light! We had a couple of bottles of wine, which complimented the food. Desert was really nice, I had the Rhubarb cheesecake, very light! We had a chat with the owner/Chef after and it was obvious the passion he has for cooking and was very welcoming. Can't wait to go again!

Fantastic food, wonderful ambiance, amazing customer service, and right on our doorstep! Definitely the best food we've had in a long time and we even picked up a couple of bottles of passata to take home. We'll definitely be back!

If you are looking to eat authentic tasty Italian food then this is the perfect place. Marenghi's restaurant is one of those hidden gems in newport and once you've discovered it and tasted the food you will make sure you return. Me and my family booked a buffet for 12 of us on a Saturday night. They are only a small restaurant accommodating for about 40 people and usually don't stay open in the evenings unless you book otherwise, so we had the whole place to ourselves ! It was like we had our own private kitchen and mario and his staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable! I come from an Italian family and we were all brought up eating authentic Italian food making it always difficult to seek out Italian restaurants that we actually rate highly for its authenticity. Nothing beats Italian home cooking! But Merenghis Italian coffee shop was the first time we've all been super impressed. It was just like eating in a little family run restaurant in Italy. He served dishes that you don't even usually see in other Italian restaurants. Not fancy like you usually expect from Italian restaurants in this country but authentic, super tasty and true to the southern style of Italian cooking! You must try this place if you have a passion for Italian food.

This little coffee shop is a local gem ! My partner and I had a evening meal in Marenghi’s last night, the owner usually closes at 5 but he very kindly stayed open for us ! Mario was fantastic - I couldn’t decide what to have off the menu so he did me half of two dishes! What a lovely guy ! The food !! - wow , absolutely fantastic ! If you’re looking for some
authentic Italian- this is the place to be !
If I could give this review 10 stars - I would ! Cannot wait to go back �

We had a family meal booked there today for my sons 18th Birthday. We opted for the birthday buffet menu which was absolutely amazing. Loads of individual Italian dishes which you can help yourself to. So much choice and as soon as plates and dishes were emptied they were refilled. Mario and his two sons were fantastic. Amazing service, amazing food and amazing value. Would highly recommend anyone to go there. Fantastic. Thank you so much Wendy Willis & family
Amy Price
I can't rate this place highly enough. Amazing food, great value for money and the absolute best service. Mario was so accommodating to our needs and his sons followed suit. A real family feel - we were blown away.
This was a family occasion to remember forever. We'll be back soon! Thank you so much
Kate Wentworth
I completely agree that Marenghi's - and Mario - are a gem. What good fortune that I happened to be looking for a nice evening meal tonight when the restaurant was open! Perfectly cooked salmon con gambas in a delicious sauce, real home cooked fresh vegetables, ravioli in a unique vegetable sauce. Mario is a food artist, and so charming - highly recommended! Kate and Stephen

I have had several lovely cakes and coffees from Marin's with my mother-in-law Val and Auntie Sandra, but the highlight of this year was the divine panettone from your deli. The best I've eaten since travelling in Italy!! Bellissimo!

Paul Stephens
Marenghi's is fabulous. Attention to detail is exemplary, the freshly cooked food is a joy and always good and Mario really cares that his customers have an enjoyable visit. Been there many times and have never ever had anything to complain about. My wife's special requirements are always met with a cheerful "Of course" If you have not yet been do yourself a favour and get there as soon as you can.
Barry Coppen
Can't believe my wife hasn't already put a review on. We've been there dozens of times just for coffee , lunch and dinner for birthdays, anniversaries or just a night out. Always an incredibly warm welcome, nothing pretentious just amazing food, freshly cooked and the bonus of a chance to practice my ( not very good ) Italian. Mario is truly one of life's good guys and deserves all the success his hard work brings him. Bravo bello !
Cheryl Whitehead
What a lovely relaxed atmosphere in this restaurant. The food is always beautifully cooked and Mario goes out of his way to make sure you enjoy your evening.
