For students who have just moved to Southampton, it’s worth knowing that it’s absolutely full of a massive range of restaurants and takeaways so, you’ll always have somewhere good to order from when you don’t feel like cooking.

You only need to scroll through Deliveroo or Uber Eats to realise the intense variety of tastes from around the world which are made easily available to students.

A celebration of world food and culture, Southampton’s restaurants provide a wealth of different tastes. In fact, there are so many choices that it can be difficult to choose where to start, so this is where we come in handy.

Without any further ado, let’s take a walk through five of the best restaurants and takeaways that Southampton has to offer.

1. L’Osteria

For fans of pizza, this is the place for you. L’Osteria is an Italian restaurant which offers both dine-in and takeaway, located just across the street from the West Quay Shopping Centre.

Of course, pizzas come in a range of shapes and sizes and personal preferences therein will decide where you go to eat, but this place offers thinner pizza which are almost comically HUGE in a range of flavors for great prices.

This takeaway is highly recommended by students and locals for providing great food for equally great value. It certainly helps that the pizzas are more than big enough to share with friends, and you can even do half and half with different toppings!

Don’t worry if you’re not in the mood for pizza, they also offer some tasty pasta dishes amongst other Italian delicacies.

Argento is known for its well-priced menu consisting of South American style beef and grilled meat. They also offer sea food and vegetarian options, too.

Their yummy steaks are cooked to perfection by your request, depending on how you like it. Our recommendation has to be the Pork Ancho dish, a pork Rib-eye steak marinated with garlic and herb sauce.
