Welcome to Fritto, an authentic Italian bakery bringing the energy and flavour of Italy’s street food culture to Liverpool.
Located on the historical and well known street of Smithdown Road, Fritto offers a menu that celebrates regional Italian classics, from golden panzerotti – the fried calzone of Puglia – to Sicilian arancini, made using traditional recipes and authentic Italian ingredients. We bake our bread in house daily for our freshly made focaccia sandwiches and every morning we prepare our famous bomboloni, soft Italian donuts filled with rich, indulgent creams.
Fritto is also proud to be the only place in Liverpool where you can enjoy Roman-style pizza al taglio, baked the traditional way and served by the slice. Pair your food with Italian coffee imported directly from Tuscany and finish with timeless desserts such as tiramisu, cannoli and amaretti biscuits.
Guided by seasonality, craftsmanship, and a passion for real Italian flavours, Fritto is all about sharing the true taste of Italy – fresh, simple and made with care.

HOW FOOD SHOULD BE! Very tasty Italian food. A local eatery, an authentic menu, and vegetarian/vegan friendly. Pictured is the vegan focaccia.Posted on Tripadvisor
Crispin E243 days agoWow. Stay away if you are on a diet. Brilliant addition to Liverpool. Stay away if watching waste. Wow. Brilliant bread and cannolli. I have tried their donuts, cannolli and bread. You just want more. Their rolls/sandwiches are great but different so not to my taste. I haven't tried their pizza yesterday. Downside is their limited days open. Though that saves my wallet and diet.Posted on Tripadvisor
Alex O267 days agoThe best Italian food. Best Italian food around and I love it. The staff are amazing as well. It is so hard to choose what to eat because all of it is amazing.Posted on Tripadvisor
Paulo268 days agoGreat food! 10/10 The food is insanely delicious! The sandwiches are the best around, and the mozzarella sticks pass the cheese-pull test everytime! The foccacia is drool worthy! 🤤 Everything tastes fresh! And the team behind the counter is warm and always lovely- even when it’s hectic and busy they remain attentive and lovely! Italian restaurants should be worried! Fritto does not play around 👌Posted on Tripadvisor

Ryan469 days agoIncredible quality, service, and people I’ve been visiting Fritto since I moved to the area last year. I don’t often write reviews but after a visit today I realised I had to. The customer service and kindness of the staff at Fritto is always exceptional. It seems like a genuinely lovely and wholesome place to work. The food speaks for itself! It is absolutely beautiful. I’ve tried quite a bit of the menu over the past year and everything is just top notch. Hope you all have a well earned summer break when it comes :)Posted on Facebook

Walking into Fritto makes me extremely happy as the counter always looks amazing and the smell of the food always makes me wanting more. Today’s choices were meat arancini and a chocolate pastry.. Amazing as always. keep up the great workPosted on Facebook
Dan Hutchinson846 days agoJust wonderful! There is an instant warmth upon arriving at Fritto, the cosy Smithdown spot creates a feeling of excitement that doesn’t happen often, a feeling that makes you think you could instantly fall in love with this place, and that’s exactly what’s happened with me! The service is friendly and efficient, I watched the owner briefly talking about a Margherita pizza special to the customer in front of me this evening, the passion was so evident and it really brought a smile to my face. The panzerotti is a real treat! Great value for money, quality ingredient’s and an unforgettable flavour! Genuinely the best I’ve had. After my initial panzerotti experience, I had to try a focaccia sandwich, I’ve had a lot of sandwiches, but this was an experience I rarely come across. Perfect bread and bursting with flavour, oh and HUGE! Again, quality ingredients , big portions and very reasonable! The pistachio bombaloni could very easily become my new obsession, the dough is light and airy and the filling is just heavenly. Honestly….a wonderful eating experience with great food, great service and worth every penny! Do not miss out on this gem! Thank you Fritto! Keep doing an amazing job! ❤️❤️❤️Posted on Facebook
