The Cornish Italian

Tucked away in the heart of Falmouth, The Cornish Italian is a delightful fusion of authentic Italian passion and fresh Cornish produce. Founded by the charismatic Andrea—a proud Italian chef turned honorary Cornish local—this unique eatery blends Andrea’s nonna’s traditional recipes with a modern, sustainable twist. Whether you’re popping in for a fresh pasta lunch, a scoop of dreamy artisan gelato, or grabbing one of their beloved ‘pasta pots’ on the go, there’s a rich sense of community, flavour and flair in every bite.

The Cornish Italian isn’t just about great food—it’s about the experience. From eco-conscious packaging to gluten-free and vegan options, they cater for all with thoughtful care. Whether you're dining in with the family or taking your pasta down to the harbour wall, you’ll feel the love and laughter that defines both Italy and Cornwall. It's the perfect pitstop for visitors and locals craving something hearty, handmade and bursting with sunshine—even when the Cornish weather has other plans!
