I visited La Fattoria in Chester on the 29th July 2013 to celebrate my birthday. My family and I were made to feel very welcome by the chatty friendly staff. We all had a three course meal and the portions especially the pasta dishes were very generous and the whole meal was exceptionally good value for money. I will definitely revisit this lovely restaurant.

Excellent Italian restaurant with a choice of various pizzas, pastas, salads etc. Good atmosphere, much more authentic than most. Service could be more efficient though!

Lovely lovely lovely! Went here in August and it was gorgeous! Really nice atmosphere, relaxed and not formal (tho it was bank holiday Monday at around 5pm but it was busy). Friendly staff all of which were italian (sounds odd but i have been to some "italians" where the staff including the chefs are English, so hence they cant cook "real" italian food)! Couldn't fault anything, there was 7 of us and everything was delicious! Have returned since and have recommended to friends who were all equally impressed!

We visited La Fattoria's predecessor, Vito's a few years back and decided on are turn visit. The name may have changed but the service, and especially, the quality and quantity of food has improved - if that was at all possible given Vito's excellent reputation at the time.
As with all the best Italian restaurants a lot of what goes on in the kitchen is open view, giving the diner entertainment value as his pizza dough is rolled and spun to order as well as the peace of mind of knowing what the kitchen and staff are like.
Service, when we visited on a weekday lunchtime, was bright, courteous and with just the right amount of briskness. The tomato and garlic bread for starters was crisp and light with an adequate amount of baked on passata to ensure that it didn't slide off the base. My partner's pollo alla Valdestana was moist and tender with good quality ham and mozzarella and, again, just enough tomato while my Pizza Fiorentina filled its huge plate to perfection with a topping of fresh spinach and a perfectly cooked egg ( one Fiorentina I once ordered had what looked alarmingly like bits of scrambled egg dolloped on top as an afterthought). The chilled Gavi to accompany the food had that zesty freshness which North Italian wines should always have.
We'll definitely return to La fattoria next time we visit Chester. Hopefully it will still be the same in name as well as quality.
