Britalia Italian in Mansfield

Lovely family run restaurant, delicious Italian food and excellent customer service! 5 star rating from all our 8 group! Thank you for a great meal!

Gorgeous restaurant, lovely staff & amazing food. We dined here tonight (4 adults & 4 children) and we couldn’t have had a better experience. Would absolutely recommend.

The food and service were excellent, the waitresses were very attentive and the food was delicious. And the Calzone was huge, so make sure you are hungry.

Overnight stop before going to the cricket. Excellent meal and service outstanding.

We had a lovely birthday meal for my girlfriends farther and it was fantastic! Amazing service and the food was brilliant! Thank you very much to the owner and the staff for a great night. 5 stars!

Lovely Italian restaurant. Great food and very friendly staff.

The food was incredible and really good portion sizes, all cooked fresh and the staff are really friendly! Will definitely go again.

We love coming to Britalia! The food is always amazing and never fails to live up to expectations! Romany is always more than happy to tweak any dish to suit each person. We've been several times over the years either as a table for 2, a table for 4 or even as a table as a table of 15 and there has never been any issue. All the staff at Britalia are lovely and we can't recommend them enough!

Highly recommend, friendly service, fantastic food, good choice of vegetarian food, authentic Italian.

I went here last Friday with my partner food was 10/10 our server lily was wonderful would 100% recommend the atmosphere was incredible

Would highly recommend. Food was amazing and fresh. Well worth a visit. Was staying local and was recommended this restaurant and I’m glad I went for it.

Best italian resturant for miles! We come here often and wouldn't go anywhere else. Romany is a true genius when it comes to customer experience and quality food. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality meal at reasonable prices!

It was our first time visiting here, we was a large group visiting for a family occasion. The staff couldn't do enough, and the food was beautiful. To say there was a big group, there was not one criticism. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Tried Britalia for the first time; what a find! Great food & attentive service. I had the seafood linguine & my friend had a calzone. Both were excellently presented & very tasty. We both had the tiramisu, which was spot on. Unfortunately, we were unable to avail ourselves of the complimentary limoncello as we were both driving.

I visited Britalia with friends for the first time and it was absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious, very good portions for the price and the service was fantastic. Our servers Enya and Lily went above and beyond. I cannot recommend enough and will definitely be going back again.

A lovely family run restaurant. Very reasonably priced. Service was very attentive and friendly and the food was good.

A great little Italian restaurant in the centre of town. A good choice of delicious home cooked food together with excellent service from the friendly staff makes this a good place to visit

A lovely little Italian restaurant. A very welcoming place with friendly owner and staff and the service is excellent. All the food is cooked to order and is delicious. Would recommend this restaurant.

wait 1hr for one pizza when got it it was salty and too much herbs. Really disappointed with services 😒

Great Italian restaurant. Food is excellent as is the service. Prices are very reasonable. Reccomend

Was my birthday today. The owner served the nicest food and we will be back. We support local and it’s great food 👍🏻💈

Had a great meal here with family before heading to the Panto. Staff knew we were on a schedule and were very attentive. Food fantastic and very reasonably priced. Looking forward to visiting again when I can try starters and puddings too!

Best Italian food we had in Mansfield. I love Italian cuisine, I've been in Italy many times, I always go to Italian restaurants when in new places, so this one was one of the best I've ever had. Service was also great: very nice and not in any way intrusive. Absolutely great!

Little gem.of a place. Love it here

Been here 3 times now, service and food always lovely. It a great little Italian with the classics, I like that the owner/chef still comes around and asks how things are, today we were treated to lemon chello shots at the end, nice touch

First time at this restaurant..definitely recommend..food was amazing.thankyou

Went for a meal on Saturday whilst on holiday. The food was 10 out of 10 the staff were very attentive and the chef came over to introduce himself personally, a very lovely gesture and was much appreciated. Thank you!

We were recommended to try here by a friend. Very tentative staff, cosy restaurant, perfectly located for a pre theatre meal. Food was delicious.

Lovely food and atmosphere but service a bit slow making it a bit of a rush for a pee theatre meal. They catered for gluten free very well.

I was a little let down after reading all the 5 star reviews...We had the breads to start, very average thick sliced bread with not enough olive oil dip.I had the ravioli lobster for main very tasty although I feel the portion was rather small.Over £70 for two of us i was expecting better.For me what let it down was the lack of atmosphere. Better Italians out there

We chose the restaurant in a hurry and whilst we enjoyed what we had. I compared it to other Italian places I have eaten at. The drinks were about average price, The food whilst enjoyable was average . I had the Prawns in Chilli and tomato sauce four prawns overpowered by sauce and chilli . We ordered bread an olive oil with balsamic and the ratio of oil to balsamic was poor and the bread was just like a daily supermarket loaf with crusts cut off when I would have expected an Italian bread at least. I chose the Calzone Kiev and there was far from enough filling and over powered by the thick dough, my wife had the garlic mushroom starter and this was pretty average but the sauce was nice, All in all a very nice average meal but overpriced for what we received. I expected a lot more from a town centre Italian restaurant . I need a great deal of persuading to go back .

First time didn't think any came close to ciao bella well i was WRONG i loved it and going back very soon food excellent service excellent i actually liked the chef being there in view at all times lovely chap look forward to going again

Superb food and service by Romaney and his daughters. Excellent choice to celebrate my wife's birthday. Looking forward to next visit.

Food and service was amazing! Best garlic bread I’ve ever had in my life. My partners Calzone was huge and gorgeous!

Birthday meal out, split a Calzone and Calzone Kiev with my dad. Others had the King Prawns, a pizza etc. All were excellent. We will absolutely be returning. Note: there is no kids menu, they basically make a smaller portion of anything off the adults menu. I thought this was a great idea, offers the best choice of kids meals I've seen in a long time.

If you are in Mansfield and don't try this place you are missing out! Fantastic food, very friendly staff, excellent evening, good prices. Try it out, thank me later..

APSOLUTLY AMAZING!!!!!!!! LOVE THE PIZZAS AND THE SPAGHETTI CARBANARA!!!!!!!!! DEFINATLY COMING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous food at reasonable prices. Excellent owner and staff. Very attentive and efficient. The food was superb. Four of us had a great evening and are recommending to many. 🙂. A big 👍 to the whole experience. Thank you

Nice food, staff great, great owner(remembered us from a previous visit) nothing is too much trouble.

Absolutely fabulous, as always, thanks to Romany, Fabia & the staff for a fantastic evening. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Beautiful restaurant, with very friendly staff. Food was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!🌟

Valentines night out. And brilliant food again.Would recommend the Fillet Steak. Atmosphere and friendliness as always the biz!

Warm and friendly atmosphere, food was spot on, price and service was perfect, highly recommend eating here!

Absolutely delicious food, very friendly waitresses and very friendly chef. Wonderful service. Truly an authentic Italian restaurant. Will definitely be returning!

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and we ticked it off tonight. We were looked after beautifully. They balanced being present without being intrusive. I can honestly say this was the best we've been looked after in many a year. I'm coeliac, normally this causes problems. However, the team couldn't have been more helpful or knowledgeable. I had my first carbonara in years and it was delicious. He had the calzone Kiev and is already planning his next visit. My son had the muscles and thoroughly enjoyed them. Basically this a family run restaurant who cares about it's service and food. We'll be back.

Gorgeous food. Lovely staff, can’t wait to go back

Best Italian in town. The owner takes pride in his restaurant and the food is absolutely lovely. Highly recommended x

Have I not just been to the same place that everyone reviews with 5 stars?????? This is DEFINITELY NOT an authentic Italian. The owner needs an English lesson in the terminology of the words 'Homemade Bread'. The only place that made that bread was tesco, and it arrives on the plate toasted. So much emphasis is put on how hot the plate or dish is and I think this is meant to distract you from the fact the food is little more than luke warm. The spaghetti bolognese was as watery and as lacking in flavour as a Tesco ready meal which im convinced this was. I specifically wanted to staff to know that our plates were empty ONLY because we had worked all day and that we were hungry and NOT assume it was because we had enjoyed the food. The restaurant has £50 out of us but we wont be returning to spend another penny.

Excellent food and awesome service. The kids loved it and were allowed to order off menu. This restaurant is an amazing local business, I will definitely be returning.

What a fantastic restaurant. We have been out with friends and had a great night. The food in exceptional, cooked in front of you by the owner. The girls serving are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for them. We have been a couple of times now and we will be back in the very near future. Brilliant evening Shukran gazelan.x

Fab service absolutely delicious fresh made to order food 😋 beats ciao Bella just doesn’t get the foot fall it deserves. U won’t be disappointed 🍷🍽️

The two staff were helpful and interested in making our experience enjoyable. Food had depth and flavour. Sizable restaurant with a decent atmosphere; clean toilets. I will go back for food again.

Very nice place frist time beening there I would recommend the pizza delicious and other dishes can't go wrong give it a try

Fantastic little restaurant in Mansfield, service was of a very high standard, restaurant was very clean & nice & most of the all food & wine was amazing. Will definitely come back again

Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend if your in mansfield.

Lovely warm welcome from the staff and owner. Food was really good, great prices and good wine too! What a fab little gem in Mansfield.

A lovely little restaurant with the best food in town, couldn't have picked a nicer place to eat x

Another amazing meal at Brititalia. This was our 4th visit in the last 12 months, I've had a different meal each time and cannot choose a favorite. Romany, the owner and chef was very attentive without being ott. Highly recommended.

Found this place by chance. The food was lovely especially the Chicken Calzone. Lovey wine too. The proprietor was very friendly. Would go again.

A lovely little find. We aren't local, but went before going to the theatre, we booked online and had a quick response. A very warm welcome from staff, food and service was excellent. A small family run restaurant with great food.

The food was stunning. Catering for 30 people is no easy task and yet they made it look like a breeze.

Lovely meal and great friendly service 👌 we will going again soon 👍

We had a lovely time at Britalia, thank you to the team there who were welcoming and accommodating. The food was delicious! A lovely local independent restaurant.

Went for a meal there last night, food was delicious and the people working there so friendly! Will definitely be back there again soon!

Great food and friendly staff as per usual 👌 🙂

Lovely food, very friendly staff I think the owner is the chef really nice guy and can certainly cook very nice first time visit and can't wait for next time

What a lovely place to eat, had fabulous food and great service, a warm welcome on arrival and value for money, definitely worth a visit, we will be back

We have been here on numerous occasions and love it every time we go. The staff are always friendly and can happily have a chat with and a laugh. The food is outstanding and if I could eat here everyday I would you get what you pay for I personally always go for a calzone and just manage to finish it, it's too good to leave anything Would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Italian food. 10/10

This is Mansfields best kept secret, the host Romani is the chef and this is a great set up

Table booked for 4 with my husband and in-laws on a Friday night, we had an early reservation and was initially quiet when we arrived. This is a small venue and at first appearance doesn’t have many tables but there is additional seating downstairs. There is a good choice on the menu of starters, sides and mains. We all had 3 courses and each was simply delicious. I have attached photos; (please excuse the black pepper on my meal - addicted and by no means an indication on the chef). Photos include Caprese insalata, penne arrabiata (with a side order of salad) and cannoli for desert. Our party shared a garlic bread which was pretty much overlapping the plate. Depending on where you’re sitting (upstairs ) you can see the Chef working on your food, using the pizza ovens and cooking some of the dishes. My compliments to the chef - each dish was delicious; and I certainly wasn’t offering a bite of mine for my family to sample! The portions are extremely generous. My cannoli dessert was the best I’ve had. I’m quite partial to Cannoli and when I see a stall at markets or even whilst in New York I’ve been keen to try. This one was the biggest and most enjoyable to date ! Throughout our meal further parties attended and the atmosphere and buzz of the restaurant was lovely. Not only was the food and atmosphere enjoyable but the staff were friendly, polite and engaged well with our party with a few jokes around our table. The Chef even came to ask if we enjoyed the meal. Far a very small team (what appeared to be 4 staff) they run the restaurant extremely well. There is a sign in the restaurant highlighting the specials, a lovely message on the board which is a great touch and clearly shows staff are all about their customers. Lush food, great staff, amazing night, we will be back!

Our third visit this year and as good as ever. Lovely welcome from our waitress, who may have been the owners daughter, and fantastic service throughout. The food was fantastic and the portions generous. Can't wait to return.

Went last night for my daughters birthday , absolutely brilliant food all cooked fresh . True Italian family restaurant business . The owner was funny , friendly and such a great man . Definitely worth a visit , we shall be back .

Popped out with other half for a random night out and called into here as we'd been during lifted covid restrictions earlier in year. Still the same absolutely fabulous food and service. Safe and clean and welcoming environment. A must for everyone!

Absolutely loved it Saturday night meal with family so friendly and welcoming will definitely go back again

Had a great meal for my birthday, food was brilliant and staff were very friendly and efficient . The decor is bright and clean

The food here has gone down hill since the last time we visited. It was average. If I was served this in my company staff restaurant and it was £3.50 I would say that it was decent value for money - however not at 14.95 for the main course. It was poor. Paying for the bill was a farce. We asked for the boiled potatoes to be replaced by chips so we were charged an extra £3.50 for chips. Furthermore, we were overcharged for for alcohol - I had 2 beers and we were charged for 3. When I went to pay the bill, the woman at the till told me I had 2 beers to which she disputed and said I had 3 beers, which was incorrect. I know how many beers I had and it was 2 !!! After some intervention from the owner, it was resolved, but they have lost us as customers - and we have ate there a number of times previously. Poor food, poor and rude service and a bill which was inaccurate.

In the area for a few days and didn’t arrive until dark so went in search of somewhere to eat. What a wonderful surprise this little gem is. The food was all freshly cooked, the host was very friendly and is clearly passionate about sharing Italian cuisine with people. Highly recommended and if we are ever back in the area we will be returning.

Our second visit was even better than our first, Britalia is rapidly becoming our restaurant of choice in Mansfield. It was just the two of us this time, to celebrate our wedding anniversary, leaving the boys at home to their fish and chips. Having the meatball starter was a mistake, not that there was anything wrong with it, far from it. It was delicious, but it didn't leave enough room for the enormous calzone. Packed with loads of chese and absolutely covered in Bolognese sauce this was probably the best calzone I've ever tasted. My wife had pollo funghi al crema, she also declared it delicious and quickly finished it off. Good selection of spirits, wine and beers, I can recommend the Italian lager.Great, friendly service from the staff, the owner even popped over to wish us "Happy Anniversary" which I thought was a lovely touch. Number 2 son has his 18th birthday in December, if I have anything to do with it, Britalia will be top of the list for the celebrations.

The waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful, the service was quick and efficient. Our two pasta dishes and garlic bread were all delicious, as were the home made puddings. The wine was good and the restaurant was very comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Great place, great food,great service.

Absolutely amazing food. The owner and Waitress were lovely. We will definitely be back to try something else

Went last night with two friends. The staff were lovely and very friendly. We had the olives, mixed platter and prawns for starters. Lovely. For mains I had the lobster ravioli and it was gorgeous! Cooked to perfection, a nice bite to the pasta and very generously filled. Friends had marinara and mushroom orzo, and thoroughly enjoyed them. I snaffled a bit of mushroom and it was very good. Everything is very reasonably priced and very good value, well worth a visit

1st visit tonight. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Staff service was excellent. The owner cooked the meal which was also excellent. He came round the tables and chatted with everyone which was a lovely personal touch. I mentioned a dessert which was not on the menu which I had not seen in Italian restaurants for a long time which he then offered to make me. It was beautiful and I don't think you would receive this service in many restaurants, they would just say it isnt on the menu. This restaurant goes the extra mile. I highly recommend a vist to anyone and will be visiting again very soon.

After many times passing the Britalia and saying we must give it a try....last night we did and we was not disappointed.The moment you enter you are greeted with warmth and shown to your table.You are not rushed at anytime during your visit. The food is cooked and presented beautifully by the owner.His staff are second to none friendly but still take pride in their job .I would highly recommend. Thankyou fo making our evening special, we will definitely be returning again.

A food it's well made it, and ambient it's amazing with Italian music

We have just spent a wonderful Evening at this restaurant. Excellent food and wonderful service. Can’t praise this place enough and the owner is a lovely guy. We will definitely be back soon… If you are in Mansfield definitely give Britalia a visit

Been twice now and both times have been amazing! The food is gorgeous and delicious and the staff are friendly. The owner is passionate about food, which maked this experience more enjoyable. There is options for everyone to enjoy the food. My family and I are planning our thrid visit soon.

We booked a table based on reviews we’d read on this site and we weren’t disappointed. We were welcomed by the owner who introduced us to his staff who took us through the menu answering any questions we had. The food was of the highest quality and well presented. For a fairly busy Saturday night we didn’t feel rushed to finish our meal. All in all, it was a very pleasant and comfortable meal out in very welcoming surroundings

I had the pleasure of being invited here with my family tonight. A last minute booking, they we’re so flexible in fitting us in. The atmosphere was fantastic. The staff were amazing and so friendly. But the real star was the food. Everything was fantastic. The presentation, the balance of flavours, the quality of the ingredients.

Very friendly little Italian with the owner doing the cooking and a small service team. Food was fantastic and they definitely went the extra mile to make the 40th birthday celebration special. All the food was perfect

This Italian restaurant has a variety of food and is freshly cooked. There is a huge variety of vegararian and vegan and nothing is to much trouble. Had a great night. Thank you.

We all ordered something different and asked for it to be spicy. He did not disappoint. All the food was awesome with the best dish was the vegan mains which had such great flavour. This is something the main brands lack. Will definitely come back again and wanted to say thank you.

Really pleasant Italian restaurant owned and run by a lovely Italian guy who chats while he cooks up some great tasting dishes. Next time we might ring a couple of days before and request something off-menu, he said he'd try his best to cook whatever we fancied. Having said that there is plenty of variety on the menu and the Italian lager is also very moreish.

We detoured into Mansfield town centre in search of food while on a long drive north. Britalia was the first place we tried and they gave us a friendly welcome and a delicious meal. We only had main courses because we needed to get on our way again, but the service was prompt, the food was beautifully presented and tasted lovely, and the girl who served us was friendly and helpful. We'd definitely visit again if we were passing that way!

Our first visit to Britalia and we will definitely return. The food was outstanding - every dish was delicious and beautifully presented with generous portions. Everything was made from scratch, even my side salad had a lovely homemade dressing. The Italian chef/owner takes real pride in his cooking but is also very kind and will do whatever he can to accommodate you. The very welcoming and warm atmosphere topped it off - thank you for a perfect evening :-)

First time out for months and wanted something special.On arrival we were put downstairs with two party's of 8.Another couple complained about the noise and were moved straight away, we were left there, we couldn't here ourselves talk.We complained but were told they didn't have a table upstairs, no apology.MESSAGE TO COUPLES ... make sure you get a table on ground levelMESSAGE TO OWNER... Don't take a booking if you don't have space for couples on ground level.We will not be visiting again!

We had an amazing meal here I am gluten free and they had a really good selection of g/f meals the g/f garlic bread an passion fruit and mango ice cream cheeses cake was absolutely amazing, we had such a warm friendly welcome it was like going to a friends for dinner would recomend it 100%

Nice staff, excellent food, clean toilets.

Went last night as a party of 5 to this lovely Italian family restaurant As we arrived seated quickly by the very friendly young lady and the owner chef said hello although he was very busy The food is fantastic Every one really enjoyed all the food starters mains and desserts Every one left very happy If you want real Italian food go and give it a try Five stars ⭐️

Having read the great reviews we decided to give Britalia a go for a family meal out and we were not disappointed. We had a warm welcome and shown to our table in the downstairs section, which was empty when we arrived but very quickly filled up. I'd therefore definitely recommend making a booking at the weekend. Lots to choose from on the menu, it's all freshly cooked so don't expect the bang bang service from some of the national "Italian" chains, this is a proper Italian restaurant. Service was attentive without being OTT, they gave music playing at just about the right volume. The boys and I chose garlic bread each as a starter, be warned, these are huge, we could probably have got away with sharing one between us. We all had something different, the portions were generous and we all announced the food to be delicious. Probably not the largest Italian restaurant in Mansfield, but definitely gone to the top of our list of favourites.
