La Storia
About
La Storia is a family‑run Italian restaurant nestled in West Bridgford, Nottingham, where home‑cooked, heart‑felt dishes meet a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. From freshly made pastas and wood‑fired pizzas to simmered sauces that echo the flavours of Southern Italy, every plate is crafted from seasonal, local ingredients and paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of Italian wines. The venue seamlessly combines an intimate indoor dining room with a charming terrace—ideal for al fresco meals under the Nottingham sky. Seasonal celebrations are at the heart of La Storia. During winter months, the restaurant offers a special 3‑course large‑party menu priced at £50 per person, complete with complimentary focaccia and a glass of limoncello. In addition, guests can indulge in festive hamper collections featuring a curated array of Italian delicacies, including a jar of basil‑rocket pesto, De Cecco pasta, and a selection of fine wines. The ‘Dine Around Italy’ early‑evening menu—£15 per person for pasta and a glass of wine—provides a budget‑friendly option that never compromises on quality. Beyond the menu, La Storia prides itself on its authentic, family‑friendly ambience. Restaurants run with a personal touch: the staff welcomes guests into the bustling kitchen kitchen and shares stories of their Nonna’s recipes, while young diners can enjoy kid‑friendly dishes and vegan options. Reservations are recommended during peak periods, especially on weekends and during the festive season, though walk‑in seats are available for those who arrive on time. Whether you’re a local foodie seeking a traditional Italian experience, a family looking for a relaxed dining room, or a couple searching for a cozy night out, La Storia delivers homemade cuisine, warm hospitality, and an unmistakable taste of Italy right in the heart of Nottingham.
