About This Pub
Oh, let me tell you about La Storia – it's this cosy Italian spot in West Bridgford that's got that real family-run charm, drawing from traditional recipes straight from the heart of Italy. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food is where it really shines; folks rave about the fresh pasta and dishes like lamb ragu that are just packed with flavour, making every bite feel special. The service is another highlight – the team is so friendly and attentive, whether you're there for a romantic dinner or with the family, they'll make sure everything's just right. Pair that with a solid selection of wines and even great non-alcoholic choices, and you've got a place that feels inclusive and welcoming. On the flip side, though, it's not open every day, so you might have to juggle your plans a bit, and it does get popular, which means booking ahead is a must to avoid disappointment. All in all, if you're after a proper Italian experience without the faff, it's well worth a visit – I'd say it's one of those places that keeps you coming back for more, balancing the good times with a few practical considerations.

The outdoor terrace is lovely in good weather, but in the colder months, you might want to stick indoors as it could get a bit chilly even with heaters.

Beautifully Italian. I’ve been eyeing up this place based on the raving reviews and wow it surpassed all expectations. Highly recommend. Superb service, warming atmosphere and INCREDIBLE food.
Defo a date night must.
I had the lamb ragu and a glass of their nero d’avola wine. Perfection.
Had an enjoyable time at La Storia. Visited with a small child - staff very accommodating to having young baby too. Very friendly throughout our evening, even noting and writing special message for my wife on her birthday on her dessert.
Really tasty dishes with ample portion size. The burrata con fungi was especially nice, as was the pork tomahawk steak.
Really enjoyable atmosphere, with nice ambience and lighting. Great restaurant to celebrate a meal for a special occasion!
I thought this place was new but it’s been here for eight years apparently. We went on a Thursday night, it was exceptional - the ambience, the staff, the food, we had pasta, steak, sides, some great focaccia and beautiful cocktails. Ollie served us he was fantastic and the prices were fab! Our new fav.
We attended La Storia on a Thursday evening and my exceptions were exceeded. The waiters are so attentive and personable, the drinks selection is extensive. I do not drink alcohol but loved that I could have a 0% Moretti and feel included with my friends, who also commented that the wine was one of the best they had tasted. The food was absolutely divine - amazing quality and taste for the price. Just enough that you feel full but not stuffed! I am also vegan and the vegan menu offered a range of choices which all sounded delicious. The dessert was also gorgeous. La Storia is a beautiful restaurant for a special evening, and I recommend a visit to everybody. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Perfect spot for date night! We loved the menu, pasta was a 10/10 🥰 so fresh and delicious! Plus, they’ve got a fantastic selection of wines too. 🤍
