Lactofree Restaurant of the Month
Our favourite restaurant this month is Jamie Oliver’s chain of authentic, affordable, and lactose friendly Italians.
Jamie’s Italian embodies the TV chef’s mantra – quick, simple quality. Recommended by our lactose intolerant community member, Nicky, she tells us you can expect fast service, a lively atmosphere and most importantly, a varied menu that includes good lactose free food.
“I’ve always experienced exceptional service from the knowledgeable staff,” says Nicky. “Many of the dishes are lactose free with the staff being able to advise you on what you can and can’t eat – the Truffle Tagliatelle is fantastic!”
“The Jamie’s Italian menu is driven by what you’d find ordinary people eating over in Italy,” says Jamie. “Rustic, simple dishes, the best ingredients we could find both locally and in Italy – and seasonal too – made with care but delivered without lots of fuss.”
Whatever you have a hankering for, from fresh sea bass fillet, to dry-aged, chargrilled steak, or a variety of traditional Italian pastas and salads, you’ll have a lot to choose from. And as Jamie’s Italian has nine venues across the UK, you can also choose which one you want to visit.
We want to thank Nicky for sharing her favourite restaurant with us and we’d love to know what you think if you try it out.

i have to sing the praises of Austell's, Carlylon Bay, St Austell, Cornwall!! :-) When my husband booked for our second visit, they asked if either of us had food intolerances!! Having mentioned I was Gluten/Wheat and Lactose Intolerant. We arrived at the restaurant, and having been assured which choices were available to me, was offered Gluten free bread, with oil and balsamic. So delicious, and the only time I've eaten out and felt safe!! After a delicious starter and meal, I was offered a triage of pears poached in wine, lactose free ice cream and lactose free rice pudding!! I was in heaven!!! Thank you Austell's!!!! S x
