Trattoria D'Agostino

It’s a pleasant stroll up Station Road from Cheadle Hulme station to Trattoria D’Agostino, a cosy, family-run Italian restaurant and pizzeria that’s a fixture in this neighbourhood of Stockport. BY the time you reach Oak Meadow, you can smell the distinctive aroma of fresh, oven-baked pizza and Italian breads, and by the time you take your seats you know you’ve found a gem of an eatery, authentic through and through, with dishes prepared by an Italian chef and the kind of service you’d expect from the trattoria of the bel paese. The menu is a no-fuss, classical affair – whet your appetite with marinated olives, bruschetta and sun-blushed tomatoes and order up a carafe of the house red. From there, primi piatti of Tuscan bean soup, eggs Fiorentina, and New Zealand mussels in garlic and tomato lead the way into risotto and pasta dishes, and Trattoria D’Agostina’s renowned fish and seafood selection, not to mention their mouthwatering, Italian-style steaks.
