Here are the five best restaurants in Newport, according to Tripadvisor.
5. Fratelli
In fifth place we have Italian restaurant Fratelli with 74 reviews and an average rating of 4.9 stars out of five.
Serving pizza, pasta and risotto along with a range of fish and meat-based dishes, this establishment is perfect for anyone that appreciates high-level Italian cuisine.
Fratelli means 'brothers' in Italian which could be a sly hint to bring your family to dinner so you can all enjoy a fabulous meal.
A review from last month (July 2025) said: 'I was at this restaurant on Friday for a family party for my granddaughter's leaving junior school and there were eleven of us.
'We largely had different meals and the restaurant was busy. The courses were served in short order and were excellent. The staff were attentive and very pleasant.
'I will return to this venue as it is one of the best in Newport and one of the best I have used for a very long time. Bravo.'
4. Rhiwderin Inn
Next to mention is Rhiwderin Inn, a restaurant on Caerphilly Road that serves steak and pub classics such as Hunters Chicken, Fresh Ale Battered Cod Fillet, Chilli Con Carne and Chilli Madras.

2. The Snug Restaurant & Wood Fired Pizzeria
In second place we have The Snug Restaurant & Wood Fired Pizzeria with 536 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 stars out of five.
If you enjoy wood-fired pizza and a wide selection of homemade food, this is the perfect place for you to have dinner.
A review from last month (July 2025) said: 'We ordered a variety of breakfast/brunch dishes, including some from the specials, and we're not disappointed by what we were served - fantastic.
'We also each had ice-cream for dessert, with a good variety of flavours on offer - the cake/brownie/tiffin/etc – the selection also looked amazing.'
Los Reyes Tapas & Wine Bar
The best restaurant in Newport according to Tripadvisor is Los Reyes Tapas & Wine Bar with 407 reviews and an average rating of 4.2 stars out of five.
Located 500 yards from the Celtic manor resort in Caerleon, this place is the city's answer to authentic Spanish tapas.
