Quo Vadis Italian Restaurant
We will however be open on valentines night which this year falls on a Wednesday, places are limited so early booking is advised! Our Italian restaurant is located in the heart of Torbay, in the delightful seaside town of Paignton in Devon. Our menu has been created using dishes that carry a classic memory, mainly from the sixties and seventies.

Michele at that time was working here in Torbay and using his flambing skills in 'a la carte' restaurants. Before making the decision to buy our own restaurant Michele had spent six years working at 'Vergines' a very avant-garde nightclub and high class restaurant with a good reputation for fine dining.

We founded Quo Vadis in 1986. Having three children growing up it was time to 'do' something for ourselves using Michele's culinary knowledge. Quo Vadis has been a popular eating place for many loyal locals and their families and the regular holiday visitor over the years. Over the years there has been a big change in restaurant trends as we all know but Quo Vadis seems to have weathered them all.
Sarno an important agricultural town nestled under a volcanic mountain range is a close neighbour of Naples, historic Pompei, and beautiful Amalfi. Coming from a rural and agricultural background it was only a matter of time before he moved away! Moving to join his brother and sister in law in Rome he completed his military service in the air-force before deciding on a career in catering and hotel management.

Always have a lovely meal and a fabulous time! As the table is yours for the evening, there's no rush to leave. Both Wendy, front of house, and Michele, chef, are great hosts.

A lovely small restaurant with very nice staff. With the low number of customers it was a more personal experience and the food was amazing. We will definitely return the next time we visit the area. We also loved the paintings on the wall 😁

Superb evening at Quo Vadis. The welcome was very warm, and setting very intimate and relaxed. Service was prompt, and very friendly. So much so, we felt we had made new friends by the end of our meal.
The food was amazing, we were a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children aged 11 and 14) and all of us agreed the best meal we have had for possibly ever!!
Very reasonable cost, no more expensive than a Harvester, but boy, is the food and experience vastly superior.
If you're in Paignton, go visit as you will not regret it :)
