What it's like
Ristorante Sergio is a long-running Italian restaurant on St Werburgh Street in Chester for pasta, pizza, seafood, generous portions, groups and meals near the Cathedral.
Ristorante Sergio is one of Chester's familiar old-school Italian answers: St Werburgh Street, Cathedral nearby, pasta, pizza, fish, meat, a busy room and the kind of menu that does not need explaining to a mixed group.
The appeal is comfort and reliability rather than novelty. It can feel warm, lively and generous; it can also be noisy and tight when full. That is the bargain.
Worth knowing
Sergio works because it knows what it is: a busy traditional Italian near the Cathedral with big comfort-food appeal. The same busyness is the caveat, so book properly and do not expect monastic calm.
