My partner and I were blown away by the food. Not only are the staff so friendly and welcoming but the food is absolutely delicious. If you are a foodie this is heaven!
We enjoyed it so much we came back twice within 24 hours after trying.
We had the bread with the olive/balsamic and garlic oil INCREDIBLE alongside the tomatoes which were out of this world.
Main courses, steak, pork ragu & truffle porcini mushroom pasta. I have travelled to Italy many times and this Italian food was better then any meal I have had in Italy or London. The food was so good I forgot to take a photo of our main courses.
To finish we had their home made gelato which you must try!!
Love it here
Thanks so much guys
The owners are incredibly passionate about using lovely, high-quality ingredients, including local Jersey cream for their phenomenal homemade gelato. The execution of the food is easily Michelin-standard, but the vibe is entirely down-to-earth, warm, and welcoming. It’s also super flexible—you can easily just pop in for a casual glass of wine or a scoop of gelato if you aren't sitting down for a full dinner. If you do stop by, I highly recommend the almond and hazelnut gelato flavours... just wow!
I also have to give a special shout-out to their wine selection. I love red wine but usually avoid it due to frequent migraines. They introduced me to natural wine, explaining how the lack of added preservatives and heavy tannins changes things. It was fascinating, delicious, and best of all….absolutely headache free! I would recommend for a romantic meal for two, meals with friends or special gatherings as they have a fabulous dining room! A perfect 10/10 experience in Jersey.
We shared a margarita pizza and a salami pizza between 3 of us. It was so good and fresh. Love everything about it including the pizza box. They serve you in takeaway box but can sit outside. One of the best pizzas in Jersey. We also had some gelato. Definitely worth a try.
Will be going back with my husband. Very keen to try their dinner dishes soon.
The service was outstanding , warm, knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming, making us feel looked after from the moment we arrived. The natural organic wine selection is exceptional and perfectly complements the food.
The atmosphere is intimate, elegant and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. If you appreciate authentic Italian cuisine, locally sourced ingredients and impeccable hospitality, Enoteca is an absolute must visit. A truly outstanding restaurant that deserves every one of its five stars. We can’t wait to return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
