About Italio

Italio takes its inspiration from over 30 years of Italian dining, living and culture with roots lying deep in the Sicilian region of Palermo and a long history of family run Italian restaurants. The restaurant aims to provide a true modern Italian dining experience presenting the traditional rustic vibrancy of Italy within sleek and elegant surroundings. It opened in October 2014 in what was formerly the HSBC Bank on the corner of Blackpool, Lytham and Highfield roads. Italio seats 40 and offers diners a menu that has been carefully selected to offer a varied selection of some of the many delights of the Mediterranean. All of the dishes are traditional family recipes used in the family restaurants, which include Nunzio's in Blackpool -- for many years. With the open kitchen and pizza oven, diners are sure to get a show and a true glimpse of Italian cuisine in its full glory. Italio is also very kid-friendly with small portions and small pizzas available, gluten free options and is now open for lunch and brunch. You can also indulge in an Italian cocktail or a drink from the extensive bar selection and all the tables have ice buckets built in for beer, wine or Greygoose vodka. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Italio-branded mini round Blackpool! Italio was also awarded Radio Waves Culture awards for best fine dining restaurant.

Best cappuccino I have ever had! Just popped in for a coffee yesterday. Didn't eat this time however the food is excellent too, as enjoyed on previous visits.

Rang up a bit late Sunday night for a family table of 7 for 6 o'clock that night, (yes I know not much notice) but got a table anyway. On arrival we were greeted by a warm and friendly member of staff taken and seated at our table. Ordered drinks and food the service was first class food beautifully cooked and fresh. Nothing was too much trouble I would eat there anytime and will be back with my wife very soon. Well done a great night out .

Wow, had been looking forward to visiting this restaurant since it opened. Had heard excellent things about the place and couldn't wait to try it out. The food was excellent, very well presented and generous servings. Didn't have room left to finish all my dessert. The service we received was superb, staff asking if they could get drinks, were we enjoying our food etc. no complaints there. The authentic wood burning pizza oven is a nice touch and could see they were busy with takeaway orders also. All in all had a great night and will definitely make this restaurant one of my regular eating places from now on. Well done.

Wow! Really impressed with Italio! Went on Saturday and was really busy but the service was efficient, professional and friendly. Good atmosphere and the food was amazing! bbq wing and slow cooked ribs are to die for and the pizza has to be the best in town! Would recommend Italio as a must try!

We both went to Italio on Friday night. Excellent evening. They managed to get us in despite only booking on Thursday- very helpful receptionist. It has a good atmosphere. Helpful & happy staff & plenty of them! Excellent meal –tasty / hot. We just had garlic bread/ lasagna and pasta arabiata-good sized portions. Two good cappucionos. We will be going back soon and have no problem recommending to other people but make sure you book first.

Italio ... first visit last week & we'll be back. Great food & good service. Two minor points which might add some value : (1). the corridor from the pizza oven through to the back kitchen / store rooms ... New tiles need washing down ; (2). Male waiters & kitchen staff need to club together and buy a razor blade between them!

Seriously impressed with Italio on Highfield Rd in South Shore Blackpool. We are well serviced with eateries and Italian restaurants in Lytham. However we heard good things about Italio. We also know the food is great in their sister establishment Nunzios., so we thought we would give it a try. It looks great, like a city 'neighbourhood' restaurant with a contemporary style. A good bar area (that had live music last night) a huge 'feature' pizza oven and a 'buzzy' dining area. We missed out on the booth in the corner! I must admit to never having visited Sicily or dined with a Sicilian grandmother, however the foods feels very authentic. An awesome Italian bread with cheese, ham and anchovies. Real Sicilian sausage and a family recipe ribs which was truly the best I have had. Both of us had very good mains and the Shiraz was very drinkable. The staff were friendly, relaxed and efficient, organised well by the buff ;) manager and owner. Its a family business and it shows. Give it a go.
