A Slice of Italy in Chester

Nestled on Chester’s vibrant Bridge Street, Urbano 32 brings a taste of authentic Italian pizzeria culture to the heart of the city. The restaurant is built around a striking custom wood-fired clay oven, where sourdough pizzas are baked to golden perfection with bubbling cheese and crisp, charred edges. The menu focuses on quality ingredients, including seasonal and locally sourced produce, with a range of classic and inventive pizzas, antipasti, and daily specials that change with what’s fresh. Whether you’re in the mood for a simple margherita or something more adventurous, the emphasis is on bold flavours and generous toppings.

Urban-Chic Dining Space

The open kitchen lets you watch pizzas being pulled from the oven, adding to the lively, social atmosphere. The space feels modern yet warm, ideal for casual dinners with friends, relaxed family meals, or a quick bite between sightseeing. The bar area offers a selection of wines, craft beers, and cocktails, making Urbano 32 as much a destination for drinks as for food.

The kitchen also turns out garlic bread, salads, and daily specials that showcase seasonal ingredients. Service is generally attentive and friendly, contributing to a welcoming, unpretentious vibe that suits both quick lunches and longer, leisurely dinners.
