Top Best Italian Restaurants in Abbey Hey

"The Quarter Liverpool is a fantastic quaint takeaway deli in the Georgian Quarter, close enough to most of the major hotels in the city. If you’re stopping over in the city nearby then you should definitely come here to fill up on a fabulous breakfast or brunch (with veggie options too!) to get you ready for the rest of the day ahead!. Check out some of the Liverpool events to know about throughout the year."

"The Quarter can be found on Faulkner Street, in the heart of the beautiful Georgian Quarter. This Italian inspired restaurant manages to create a laid back, yet bustling atmosphere. Pizza and pasta dishes are it’s focal point as you’d expect from any good Italian, but there’s plenty on the menu to keep everyone happy."

"If you fancy discounts at Free State Kitchen, Lucha Libre, Slim’s Pork Chop Express and more then get yourself an Independent Liverpool Membership Card. It is just £15 for a year (or £20 for two) for a year of discounted discovery at almost a 100 of Liverpool’s best independents."

"At Gusto, the motto is 'Con Amici', which means 'eating with friends' – so you can bet they are one of the best family friendly restaurants in Liverpool. They're a cute little Italian restaurant sitting in the Albert Dock and overlooking the Tate Gallery, with a menu packed with pasta, pizza and many other Italian favourites perfect for fussy eaters and budding-connoisseurs alike."

"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."

"Rudy’s is so good, it’s always a pleasant surprise when you get the bill and remember just how budget-friendly it really is. Pizza prices range from £6.30 – £10.50 (the more expensive options being the meatier ones!), and each pizza is bigger than the huge plate its served on. The value for money is incredible, particularly since it’s officially the best pizza in the UK, and the atmosphere is perfect for a catch-up with mates."

"Praise the Lord, praise thee who finally brought back the mighty Rudy’s pizza for lockdown delivery. Yes, the spot voted the best pizza in the UK, and the 10th in the world no less, has just announced they are back in the game. The cult chain is offering its full pizza menu for delivery, as well as a selection of fine Italian wines."
