Experience The Best Of Italian And Lithuanian Flavors
Real Italian And Lithuanian Food In The Heart Of Kent
Set in the Thames-side town of Gravesend, R & M Italiano is a warm, welcoming Italian restaurant with a unique twist. We serve authentic Italian and Lithuanian dishes cooked the old-fashioned way —with love and tradition. Our Italian cuisine is bursting with the flavours of the Mediterranean—sun-ripened tomatoes, fragrant olive groves, and rich, rustic sauces. Meanwhile, our Lithuanian specialities, including fermented kvass and our renowned “Spirit of the Forest” venison, offer a comforting Eastern European taste.
At R & M Italiano, we believe great food should be fresh, simple, and full of personality. Every dish is cooked to order, following generations-old recipes that have travelled from Italy and Lithuania to our kitchen in Gravesend. Our freshly made pasta is light, thin, and perfectly cooked, while our Italian soups are crafted using time-honoured recipes for deep, comforting flavours. We take pride in selecting only the finest cuts for our steaks, ensuring they are grilled just how you like them.
Start your day with a hearty Lithuanian breakfast featuring authentic rye bread, enjoy a home-cooked lunch, or join us in the evening for a delicious Italian or Lithuanian dinner right here on Parrock Street, Gravesend. Convenient parking is available, and a public car park is just a 2-minute walk from the restaurant. Visit us today or contact us for more details or bookings.

"We recently celebrated our baby boy’s first birthday at R & M Italiano, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to make the evening special. The service was attentive and friendly, and the food was simply amazing — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. All of our guests were impressed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Thank you for making our little one’s first birthday so memorable!"
