Sabatini Italian Restaurant - Exeter, UK

Do you have a soft spot for authentic Italian food? The pasta, pizza and lots of cheese? Then you have to pay a visit to this wonderful new kid on the block on the high streets of Exeter city: Sabatini Italian Restaurant. Read more to explore more of this new addition in town.

What is Sabatini?

Sabatini only opened its doors in May 2021, just a few days before we visited. We had no idea it was a brand new restaurant as we only stopped by Exeter to grab lunch during our vacation in Devon. We had no idea where to go for lunch, as all the restaurants were full since indoor dining was only just allowed in the UK. We randomly just called this place at 1pm and asked if a table was available, and to our luck there was! We felt bad for dining here with our wellington boots as it was a fine dining place :)

Located in the heart of Exeter city, it is quite easy to find. Parking will not be next to the restaurant but there are plenty of street parking places nearby within a walking distance.

  

Food and Drinks

For starters, we had our favourite Fritto di Calamari (fried Calamari) which was delicious. For the mains, we had Spaghetti Carbonara and Pasta Con Pollo Al Forno. Both dishes were fantastic with authentic Italian taste. The portion size was also good, which was ideal value for money.
