Little Italy in North East Derbyshire

Food was very good staff was excellent

First time here with my wife and enjoyed the meal. Great helpful staff and brilliant food. Booking a essential , as very busy. Will be back soon 😊

First time visit. Lovely food. Friendly family atmosphere. Very enjoyable. Will be visiting again. Updated - Been several times now for family gatherings. Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Amazing service from all the staff. Great food. It was very noisy due to all the large groups but it was Halloween.

Really nice food. Great service. Lovely and busy.

Food is amazing and staff are very friendly and professional.

The food was amazing and the staff were very attentive even to younger children. Food tasted great and well presented.

We went to Little Italy with family for a special birthday for my cousin The staff were very helpful and the food was exceptional 👌

First time at Little Italy this evening, what a great experience, food and service was excellent, highly recommended.

Lovely food, lovely staff, a real Italian food experience. Went there twice when visiting Chesterfield for 3 days.

Excellent food and service. We went for a birthday celebration. Was fantastic, we all loved it.

I love visiting Little Italy, lovely decor, great service, top quality food. It's always busy, which shows just how good it is. I had pork saltimbocca on my most recent visit and it really did jump into my mouth - absolutely divine!

We took our friends to this super little restaurant last night and they absolutely loved it! The service, food and ambience was fantastic. The fillet steak was gorgeous and my friend had the sea bass with a seafood risotto which she said was the nicest one she has ever had. Well done to all the staff for making it a great night. We will definitely be back.

Always a great experience from start to finish.. Highly recommended

Table booked for 7pm,didnt get seated till 7.40. Food was lovely though.

We have been meaning to try this place for years and finally got around to a last minute visit at the weekend. The restaurant is small and very busy so I'd recommend booking well ahead of time. The food is really very good. The goats cheese starter on the specials menu was divine and I would also recommend the pasta dishes. The cheese garlic bread was OK but I prefer more cheese. The tiramasu and nutella dessert were both great. The service was very attentive. We were regularly asked if everything was OK and if we would like more drinks. Will definitely return.

This was my first visit and won't be my last, lovely food and excellent service

Wonderful meal with great choice for Coeliacs. Very accommodating with friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful food and lovely atmosphere. Thank you. We will definitely be returning.

Never fails to deliver, the food 10, service 10 absolute little gem of a place.

My wife is originally from Dronfield, so we booked when we were over visiting from America. Lovely place, great staff, and fantastic food. We will book again when we are in town.

The food was really good and the hospitality was also exceptional.

We`ve had an unforgettable night the 4th of July 2024. Lovely staff, amazing food - the best beef fillet ever! Thank you all for the great job you are doing!

Lovely staff and dish’s one of the best restaurant in the area clean and brilliant services I highly recommend

Highly recommended this beautiful restaurant. Absolutely amazing service and food.

Absolutely beautiful little restaurant. THE FOOD IS TOP CLAS, the service is very good, definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great food, really freindly service. Recommended.

This place is just something else. Absolutely amazing!!! The food is exceptional, and the service is just another level. Friendly, warm atmosphere where couples, families and anyone else will love this place

Lovely meal and attentive staff.

Visited whilst on holiday. It was so good we went back a few days later. Fabulous food and excellent service you cannot find better anywhere!

Lovely food and staff. Nice and clean one of the best restaurants in the area.

Amazing service, brilliant food, friendly little restaurant and very clean

Called in here for an impromptu meal as we had been looking at bathrooms at a nearby showroom, and what a find! The food was excellent, and we will definitely be heading back.

We have been meaning to go to Little Italy for a long time as we haven't been for a few years. Myself, My Partner & 6 Year old went on Sunday. Initially we was greeting by a lovely waiter who asked us to take a seat whilst they sorted our table. We ordered our drinks and seemed to wait a long time for the waitress to come back and ask for food. Same with the wait for food we was waiting over an hour... however, the food made up for the slowe service it was absolutely beautiful. Although we waited a while for food i need to mention there was 2 large tables with 10+ guests on each so this is understandable. We ordered: 10oz steak- Beautifully marinated, very tasty side of veg Childrens lasagne- my daughter cleared her plate and said its the best lasagne she's ever had. Bolognase - So tasty, huge portion size and still managed to clear my plate. Olives, bread & balsamic vinegar for starter - lovely just wish we would have been warned the green olives had stones. Profiteroles - I wasn't keen on these unfortunately there was way too much chocolate sauce on them. Ice cream - my daughter loved her ice cream! We was shocked when we received the bill and couldn't believe how adorable it was. We visit another resturant similar quality of food and pay around £50 more. Safe to say Little Italy is our new favourite and we will be back.

Had a lovely meal a few weeks ago after hearing lots of great views about this place. Food was great, best beef fillet my partner had ever had. Coffee and dessert were also really nice, wish the antipasti board came with some bread as a starter.

Great hospitality. Food was delicious. Romantic atmosphere Accommodated to dairy intolerance by providing a non dairy alternative.

Great place, atmosphere and quality food. My husband and I chose Little Italy restaurant for dinner. And the right choice. The starter, main course and dessert were all very good. The service was super and fast. All staff were very friendly and polite. Especially the steak was very successful. We will come back again. Thanks to the whole team.

If I could give 100 star instead of 5, I could definetely give it. This restaurant is absolutely amazing. I can't find a better words to describe marvelous place. I ate millions of steak around the world, but this place is definetely placed in top three. I can higly reccomend to try Fillet with Capri sauce. Most of the starters is also above the expected range. Alcolic drinks are affordable and presentation of everything is excellent. The owner of the restaurant (I think name is Plamena) was so smiley and Dario was so gentle to serve everything like masterpiece. Many thanks for your kindness. I will visit this place more often!

We went for our 50th wedding the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent very good portions and I would highly recommend.

Lovely meal and staff, everything was gorgeous! Thank you to the lovely team for a great night x

All I can say we were very disappointed from start to finish on visiting this restaurant & none of the party will be booking a table any time soon, hence no tip left. Wish we could have took a tip ourselves as deserts wasn’t given to the right people, had to swap as staff not interested or bothered. Limited on the type of wine to buy by the bottle, could not order a bottle of Sauvignon but only by the glass, obviously boxed wine (cheap). Asked on arrival as two parties to have two bills but was refused. When trying to sort out at the end of meal, was pressure by several members of staff to pay as soon as possible. Unsure why they kept asking as only 9:30pm, plenty of empty tables so wasn’t needing ours. Worst thing was a member of staff tried to take the wine cooler & half a bottle of wine away, talk about feeling pressure to leave or unwanted after spending nearly £300. If we had not stopped them from taking it, would they had put the bottle back in the fridge & charge others for it or possibly taken it home?? Best thing was after stopping them, they didn’t leave the wine in the cooler, they poured the rest of the wine & filled up our glasses to nearly the top & took the cooler away. One last moan, tabled are too close to each other, you can hear other people’s conversations & sometimes not appropriate when you have children.

Great food, well prepared and tasty, very helpful and polite staff.

I have been going here for probably 20yrs, never had a bad experience. The food is amazing, staff are attentive the service is excellent. Anyone not been here and thinking of going just book a night and see for yourselves how good this place is.

Good food, good friendly service

Dinner with my girlfriend was sublime, the food was intense but light at the same time, the wine was great and the waiter was a gentleman. Cost us £100 for starters, mains and two drinks each. Tipped the waiter £10.

Great place, lovely food and not overpriced. Waitress friendly and polite food arrived on time highly recomend. …….,,,,……,…,,,,,,

Food was Really good service was excellent, no faults whatsoever always good If you have a problem, speak to them and they will sort it out straight away. Can’t do enough to help highly recommended.

Great venue, lovely food enjoyed our experience, bit expensive. 😀

This was our 2nd visit this time for Sunday Lunch - great offers 1/2 price pizza and pastas, excellent service, food was delicious, very friendly staff Great restaurant, reasonably priced (even when 1/2 price offers not on) always welcomed with open arms - great restaurant. Will visit again

Tonights service was absolutely appalling!!!! We booked this to celebrate a family get together and my daughters birthday. Table booked for 6pm. We were asked to pre-order, these orders didn't come out til 6.35pm!! We were rushed through our starters. (Plates bring cleared away while people still eating and then hovered over til finished) & mains which when serving, a waitress spilt a full glass of water over my father-in-law. 81 years old!!!! No apologies just 'its only water' and we had to ask for serviettes to dry him down. His entire leg was soaked!! After mains we were asked if we wanted pudding, we asked for a bit of a breather, but after the 3rd waitress came and asked for our order within minutes of each other 7.30pm WE asked did they need to flip the table???? At this point I was told 'of course you know we need the table'!! This reply absolutely surprised me!! This discussion went on for a few minutes, with me trying to explain i didnt know to be very rudely spoken to over and over again. I was absolutely NOT told at any point that they needed the table!! I explained this numerous times just to be told 'you were told'. I was not, and if you know me, you absolutely know I would have been on it!! She basically told me I was lying!!! When the bill came, my husband didn't leave a tip because of above situations. The lady who spilt the drink then came and basically had a go at us for complaining about the drink spilage and no apologies to be told its not her decision 🤔🤔 Before leaving the restaurant I spoke to the lady and man behind the bar explaining the waitress was very rude and I was told yet again I was wrong!! 10 of us stood outside trying to organise taxis when said waitress came out to speak to us. She basically came out for an argument!! Wouldn't let me get a word in and told me I'd disrespected the rules and she had proof I was a lier and showed me a book that had names and numbers saying all of these people were told! Sorry love, this is not proof and you didn't tell me!!! I went inside and asked bar manager to bring his waitress back inside. I also told him I was extremely disappointed with the service and that I'd been coming here for years, to yet again be told so you should know our rules!! Whether I'd ever been told before, I was categorically not told they needed the table back this evening and even more so not our fault food still took half an hour to be served!! I explained to him about the drink and he said 'did this happen tonight?' Yes! To be be told by the waitress she must have been pushed. That's it, blame the lady who was sat on the table behind, of course she must have pushed the waitress!!!🙄 Our bill was over £480!!!! Even if they had just apologised for what had happened, that would have been us done BUT to actually lie and treat us the way they did, is absolutely disgusting. You need to acknowledge spilling a full drink over someone whether its wine or water!! You need to know when you are wrong and just say sorry. The food was great as always but we will not be returning!!!!!!!

Food is great here. Dario (apologies for the spelling) is a credit to you all. Brilliant service from him and Pam and the team 🤍 * pictures from 2 separate occasions *

Meal out for friends birthday, very attentive waiter, delicious risotto, good atmosphere, Tuesday night so not very noisy. Staff very pleasant. Overall very good.

After finally getting to experience this little gem, Im definitely now a fan. The food is authentically Italian and if I could give more stars for the service I would. The whole experience is amazing. Amazing food and sooo tasty. I am 100% noes a regular 👌🏻

Enjoyed has always, normally give 5 but had to wait a while and not enough space for us all.

Excellent in all area. Superb food, service and price.

Varied menu, excellent evening meal. Food fresh, tasty and well presented and service to match. Would not hesitate to go again.

Superb food and service. Authentic Italian food and great old fashioned service.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food is wonderful and served with care. Highly recommended.

We booked for a birthday arrived on time had drinks order food and wine all excellent we ask for the bill and settled up accordingly with some cash and cards £395 total we was a a dish missing garlic potatoes etc but nevertheless the rest was very good on the way out we said our goodbyes and left in the car park we was chased out by one of the staff waving our bill demanding it be paid in full IT WAS 4p SHORT by mistake too And we was a dish of potatoes missing too so maybe someone needs to have a word about this and let me no

Excellent dining experience. Me and my partner were both recommended this place by different people and it did not disappoint. The service was second to none, the food was lovely and the place was buzzing. Will definitely recommend to others and return ourselves.

Amazing food and service every time regularly go for family meals and great service and food every time. Would recommend

Best restaurant in Derbyshire and Yorkshire

Great food and price with half price on Sunday

Fabulous food, lovely service and a cozy atmosphere.

Great food always a friendly welcome, highly recommended it for a nice meal.

The service was brilliant! Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. The food was served fairly quickly and was absolutely delicious! We all said it's some of the nicest Italian food we've had and we would all come again.

It was fantastic hope to go back soon

Beautiful restaurant, service was amazing , food was top-notch, highly recommend.

We visited Little Italy this evening for the first time as my Birthday treat with family. It was one of the best dining experiences any of us has ever had! The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food truly was out of this world - proper Italian cuisine! We had a wonderful time - thank you Little Italy for your outstanding service and delicious dining experience! Nothing was too much trouble and we will most definitely be back! :)

Great food (and wine!), service and atmosphere. We never feel rushed. Can't wait for our next visit.

Very attentive staff, good food and good atmosphere.

Always superb food and service. The staff always go the extra mile, both g is too much trouble. 5 star alround

Amazing quality food. Highly recommended.

Arrived 5 minutes before booked time. Waited 40 minutes in a very cramped bar area stood for all that time shoulder to shoulder with other people as no seats left. They are trying to cram too many sittings in. But not attempting to hurry people to give their table up when their times up! We were late for our table then meaning next sitting would also have to stand waiting. Not acceptable The food was terrible. Me and my partner had a calzone each—-with raw dough. Dough not authentic tasting= bready. Hot chicken, cold ham, uncooked mushrooms, cheddar cheese! and a bland watery sauce was awful. Expect little Italy to be able to rustle up a decent pizza. Will not go back

First class, never had a bad meal and we have sampled a fair number of dishes. Excellent food ,beautifully presented. Attentive service and the staff work hard to create a welcoming and enjoyable experience.

Came here for my wife's 60th birthday the staff were excellent and the food was fabulous really recommend it

Lovely food ,friendly helpful staff and a lovely atmosphere

Food and service are always top notch!! Lovely place to eat even though drinks are expensive.

We visited Little Italy for a friend's birthday and the food was amazing. I had the steak with the Al Pepe sauce which was gorgeous. One of the best steaks I've tasted in a long time. The atmosphere and service was excellent!

Food excellent service fantastic, beer selection poor , lager I don't like or cider expensive bottles, may drink tea next time

Oh my gosh I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Our booking was for 5.30 on a Saturday and it was full already and buzzing with an amazing atmosphere. Food is amazing and the staff are sp friendly and attentive. I cant believe this was my first time here. Definitely going back

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been in the all UK! Food was amazing, staff and service was excellent, place very cozy and nice:)

They fitted us in to an overbooked night yet we didn’t feel rushed nor was anything compromised from the friendly attentive service to the lovely tasty food. All the staff were friendly with the perfect amount of attention at the right time. My wife’s lasagne left her thinking it was amongst one of the best she’d tasted. I always think a Calzone Pizza is a good test of a Restaurant and this one didn’t disappoint, topped up with a tomato garlic bread, a limone tart and mixed quality ice cream made a perfect experience.

Italian restaurant perfect for both date night or meal out with friends or family. Food was delicious, portions were big and served nicely. Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, we’ve been looked after for the whole time. Prices are also affordable. We will definitely be back for some more Italian food. Thank you for an amazing time

10/10 best meal I’ve had for a while. Firstly, the staff are amazing, really nice and friendly service, make you feel very welcome. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection. I took pictures of the starters but the food was so nice I forgot to take a picture of our mains because I couldn’t wait to tuck in. Perfect place to go for any special occasion. The food is reasonably priced for the service and quality of food you get. I will definitely be returning for more before Christmas, can’t wait!

Had a really delicious meal last night first time there Lovely friendly staff and very afficiant Will Definitely be visiting again

Top quality food with amazing service, at very reasonable prices. Would recommend to anyone, the only downside being how slightly crammed it is when busy

We have come here for years and always been so happy. A few months ago we came and we were rushed from the minute we were sat down. We thought we would try again and tonight although the food was great as always., we were rushed again! As soon as our starters were cleared, our mains arrived. We then ordered liquor coffees, which had no liquor in them and were then asked to leave our table and sit near the door as our table had been booked again. We had only been sat there just under an hour and a half. This isn’t a cheap restaurant, so would at least expect to finish my full meal at the table. The restaurant changed our coffees, but they still were the same. Feel like they try and cram too many people in.

Beautiful place, amazing food but the best thing of all were the friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and even when they are rushed of their feet they all have a lovely smile and greet everyone so lovely

First visit and will definitely book again. Lovely food and service

Beautiful food as always, very nice polite attentive staff, lovely place.

I have not been here for years and what was I missing the service was Outstanding nothing was too much the lasagne was so authentic all the food was so full of flavour. I won’t leave it so long next time before I vist.

Dinner with the family to celebrate my 80th birthday. Thanks for the excellent service and beautiful food Little Italy. A good time was had by all. A perfect choice of venue.

Thank you for the hospitality and great food.

Last minute discussion to come here and on the fly but so glad we did! Excellent food, service! Well recommended

Excellent food, excellent service. I had one of the best steaks I've had in a long time and our waiter Sammy made sure we wanted for nothing. This place always looks busy so was good to finally go and see what it was all about

Nixe. Clean. Really nice food. Will go again

Visited last Sunday, will have to reconsider whether to dine there again. Staters were the best part of our meal. We chose pizza for the main- what a disappointment!! One was underdone, the other 2 were ok, however as the name says’Little Italy’ we did not envisage the bases to be a La Iceland’s basics. Last on the menu were the puddings; if you like your cake tasting of onions- Little Italy is the place for you! Overall, sadly disappointed!!

A true taste of Italy, busy, full of happy people enjoying the great food and service. Highly recommended.

Great menu with excellent food and staff. It has a lively atmosphere, but it can be difficult to have a conversation with the acoustics of the dining area. One of the best Italian restaurants in the area
