The Greedy Italian in Milton Keynes

Great independent restaurant, food and service great. Only downside is the ambience of the restaurant which is mainly because of the acoustics. Its so noisy to a point where it is uncomfortable, this is because there are so many hard surfaces and the noise bounces around. Some soft acoustic absorbing panels on walls or ceiling would greatly enhance. But food wise, lively place.

We ate here for the first time tonight. The food, drink and service were great. The atmosphere was really great too and we loved the Christmas decorations. We will definitely be back.

Foods is nice, I love the atmosphere there.

Absolutely delicious! I had the lasagne fritters (so moreish), Carbonara (omg so gooood!), followed by sticky toffee pudding (perfect portion size, texture and taste). The staff were so lovely, the service very quick and I can't wait to go back again and again to work my way through the menu!

Amazing little place we went for breakfast and it was delicious I will definitely recommend

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in the area. The service, food and atmosphere are second to none. I MUST recommend the Prawn starter I have never tasted anything so good in my life. I cannot recommend this place high enough

Very nice place, tasty food with decent prices. 1/2 Lobster pasta a bit small portion though would recommend to take starter and a desert as well.

Love this place and the family who run it. Fab food and ambience, plus doggies welcome.

This little place is absolutely fantastic! Delicious Sunday breakfast - highly recommended

Wow had the most amazing full English breakfast here, lovely coffee and a nice glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Next time I'm in Milton Keynes I'll definitely be back.

Love the renovated design with lemons, really brings beautiful vibe to a place! Very friendly staff and delicious food 🥰

The carbora are better than the ones served in Rome , the calamari starter fresh from Mediterranean. Sam was lovely

We ordered carbona but they are too salty. Also per plate W20£ it is really shame we had to pay costly amount such a salty pasta Never gone again

Another great visit to The Greedy Italian The front of house service is fast, efficient and friendly. They know each dish in fine detail and never fail with their recommendations, and oh my goodness they make a mean Dirty Martini The choice of food is excellent with regular tweaks to the menu to keep things fresh and seasonal, whilst still retaining some old favorites, and the quality of the dishes is equally great What's not to love, top quality front of house service combined with excellent food, and all at very reasonable prices

The waitress was welcoming but the food was poor. We had a roast dinner, the Yorkshire pudding was overdone, dry on the verge of burning. We were not even asked how we wanted the roast beef. My husband couldn’t eat it as it was far too red. We both had the duo roast and my husband also had roast chicken. There was blood nearer to the bone. When we pointed it out to the waitress she said “ oh yea that’s nearer the bone, I’ll tell the chef” we were hoping for an apology at least and maybe a free coffee but we had none of these. Greedy Italian we will not be coming back. There are some amazing Italian restaurant in MK for us. You used to be so good and I used to recommend people but no more

Delicious food and genuine, friendly and attentive service. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Such an amazing little place with the best food I’ve had in a while in the UK! I definitely recommend it if you’re looking to eat delicious food

Food is amazing. We ordered mussels to start which was fresh and tasty. We then had the crab pasta and ragu pasta for mains. They were Al dente and well favored. Only downside is the price which is quite expensive and that's before the 12.5% service charge added to the bill.

I've been meaning to eat here for a while, and I was not disappointed. The flavours that were in each dish were so nice and perfectly put together, and the wine was outstanding. Amazing customer service is very friendly and helpful. I can't fault it. Thank you for a lovely dining experience 😊

One of the best Italian meals and we’ve had a few amazing ones recently across the world. Shame we don’t live nearby, would definitely be a regular. Staff were brilliant too.

My family and I had an amazing dining experience at Greedy Italian. The calamari starter was perfectly crispy, and my son’s carbonara was rich and creamy—he couldn’t stop raving about it! My wife loved her burrata, which was fresh and delicious, while my beef ragu was hearty and full of flavor. The service was top-notch—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The warm ambiance made us feel right at home. We left completely satisfied and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

What an amazing little gem in Milton Keynes! The restaurant is very cozy and very nicely decorated! We booked the bottomless brunch to celebrate a birthday and had the best experience! The food was amazing and had a good amount of vegetarian options. The drinks that were part of the bottomless brunch were outstanding! The service was lovely, we felt very looked after. I would highly recommend visiting this gem!

A lovely evening out. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. All food is made to order and all our meals were excellent and very tasty. We had a great time and will certainly return again in the not too distant future. Highly recommended if you enjoy Italian food.

Food good Pricey Too noisy Friendly

Nice place Service is good Food is okay but very costly

Amazing 10/10 best restaurant in MK!

First time there as it was recommended by a friend. Best Carbonara I have had. Shellfish was lovely, atmosphere great, staff lovely and friendly, reasonable prices, parked outside, loved it will definitely go again,

Very good food excellent atmosphere staff very welcoming on arrival and menus presented would highly recommend for an evening out

Visited with friends for bottomless gin deal. The staff are lovely, really attentive and kept the drinks coming for the 90 minute window. The food menu is limited in this deal but what we had was excellent, I personally don't like too much choice as I can't make up my mind. We had mussels to start, quite big, well cooked with lovely garlic broth. The ragu pasta mains were delicious with big chunks of meat, my friend really enjoyed her mushroom dish. Lovely atmosphere and really cosy place - couldn't fault it.

Food was brilliant, great flavours and fresh. The chef certainly knows what they are doing which can be rare these days. One of the best meals out we’ve had a while, will definitely come back.

Absolutely love it went for a meal with my boyfriend been a couple of times with him and food is amazing quick service even when there was a massive party in. Also lovely FoH staff, making it our special occasion dinner !

Their lobster evening was brilliant! Another visit is in the can!

An absolute gem of a restaurant, honestly some of the best cookery of seafood outside of the med! You need to go to understand xx

The food was good. However, the carbonara was quite salty, but the fish was delicious. The service was good but could use some improvement. Overall, it was a positive experience. No wheelchair access and possibly no access to the toilet as well.

Italian food with Authenticity. It's a homely Restaurant with genuinely caring owner and staff. Highly Recommended

A fantastic local Italian eatery, beautifully decorated and fantastic food! It's more of a formal date night location for myself and my partner, but it's the sort of place you get excited to go and eat at. Hearty food, lovely staff and a small, intimate yet modern atmosphere. Favourite dish is the pasta and bolognese variation, but also love the calamari and cocktails - they're all delicious! Parking can be tricky, so would recommend getting dropped off/a taxi.

Went for Sunday lunch! Honestly absolutely amazing! Its unusual to find a place offering lamb as a sunday option but they did and my god was it good! Couldn't handle dessert as i was stuffed. Great service from the team there will defo be back!

Having heard great things about this restaurant I was very much looking forward to taking a close friend for dinner. For context this is a small restaurant. We were closely seated next to a table of 20+ customers. I have never sat in a restaurant and been completely unable to hear the person sitting opposite me. The noise was unbearable. We decided to finish our meal and head off somewhere else for coffee! The food was good but for the prices you need to provide the correct ambience. Baring in mind the size of your restaurant, it would be sensible to let other customers know that you have a large booking on the same night. In my opinion there were too many customers crammed in, hence the noise.

The service was excellent, the venue is small but very appealing, we had the Sunday roast, lamb & chicken. The Yorkshire pudding is made from scratch & the roast potatoes were crispy, the lamb was cooked perfectly and the chicken was tender. All the vegetables were well prepared and the cauliflower cheese was a triumph. It was delicious, we enjoyed every morsel and wished we had room for dessert!! We will be back soon, & will make this our date night for sure. Thanks so much for the beautiful food and hospitality.

The food was absolutely delicious. The eggs Benedict was the best I’d ever had. The eggs were perfectly runny. My daughter had the pancakes, a huge portion and they were soo good. It’s all freshly prepared but it’s absolutely worth the wait. I highly recommend a visit!

An amazing find and glad google was my helper. Walking in, you’re transported to the Amalfi coast (obvs the sunshine is missing … don’t dwell on that) and from start to finish every meal was a delight. The paired house rosé was an easy drink with a summery scent. We’d definitely return We had a late lunch, so it was daily quiet but I can imagine it being really busy later in the evening. Absolute joy to find

I originally wanted to try the lobster spaghetti for lunch, but it turned out that it was a limited time and I finally ordered the beef lasagna. It was juicy and had a strong flavor. The beef was juicy enough and easy to eat. 👍🏻 What a surprise. The lasagna was refreshing, tough and chewy👍 🏻👍🏻

Myself and my partner booked in for Sunday lunch on 21st April 2024. We had eaten before at the Greedy Italian (loved it) but not Sunday lunch. WOW, what a deliciously tasty Sunday lunch (I had beef and my partner had lamb) with all the trimmings… excellent portion sizes. The staff were very friendly, service was spot on, and the Sticky Toffee pudding was delicious. Yes, we will absolutely be returning in the future!!!

The food quality is good however the experience is spoilt by the attitude of the head chef, a wannabe Gordon Ramsey.

Yummy food and great service was good.

What a brilliant find! This place is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding and service excellent. We will definitely be back. Grazie mille!

What a brilliant find!!! Off the beaten track but this place is an absolute gem. The food is outstanding and the service excellent. We will definitely be back. Grazie mille!

absolute amazing start to easter sunday! breakfast was phenomenal, staff were phenomenal, and I can't recommend enough. had visited breakfast brunch and dinner. and have never been disappointed. the produce is fresh. I had the eggs benefict, and the poached eggs were cooked spot on. friendly, relaxed, clean environment. you won't be disappointed

Very authentic and fresh Italian food. Was honestly the best I’ve had for a few years. Highly recommend!

Lovely and authentic Italian. Best one I've visited in a while. Highly recommended 👌 If it is available, try the zucchini flower!

Haven’t been to the Greedy Italian for a while and noticed it was serving Sunday lunch, tried the half chicken roast and can honestly say it was the best Sunday roast without question in Milton Keynes (and we’ve tried most), for dessert we had the Tiramisu (which was to die for) - well impressed and we will certainly be booking again soon.

The best Sunday roast. Great value, so yummy. Amazing service!! I cannot recommend this place enough! Puts the pubs to shame!

Lovely place...my grandson found it when looking up Italian resteraunts..his favourite food. Service, food,decor and atmosphere great. Thankyou

Absolutely fantastic place to eat. Delicious food, great friendly service and amazing cocktails

First time at the Greedy Italian as a mother's day treat from my daughter. It's a lovely venue, although parking can be a bit difficult. Food was wonderful. Can thoroughly recommend the eggs royale and full veggie breakfast. Although, watching other people's orders, the buttermilk pancakes looked fantastic too. Staff are lovely and friendly and very attentive but not intrusive. Will definitely be back to this delightful restaurant. 😊

Absolutely loved the food, the ambience and the service. Just happened to pass by and decided to have a small lunch. Was great and peaceful being there!

Had the most incredible meal with family last night. The lobster linguine was to die for. I highly recommend you try this place.

I’ve ordered lasagne and it was so extremely salty that it was sickly, like an excessive amount of salt would be spilt in it by mistake. I didn’t bother ordering desert, as I just didn’t have trust in their cooking abilities. The dish that lasagne was brought on was sizzling hot. The lady warned me that it’s hot, but I didn’t expect it to be straight out of the oven hot, so I burnt my hands with it. Friend of mine also burnt her hands a moment after and another friend of mine had such a bad stomach pain after eating the food, that she had to go home without joining us after. Two of us ordered vegan gnocchi and the cheese smelt revolting - it is listed as vegan mozzarella, so I am not sure why it would smell so badly. Also atmosphere wasn’t the greatest- it was extremely noisy; didn’t even notice any background music (if there was any).

I’m actually writing this regarding Cicchetti - the baby sister of The Greedy Italian - which is in Oxley Park Milton Keynes. I hosted a surprise 70th party for my husband there. I liaised with Antonio who I believe is the manager Nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and in abundance . The staff were wonderful. I received the bill the following day and was absolutely bowled over with the cost of the evening. Value for money ? 100% If you get the chance visit this little gem.

Wonderful food and service, with the prettiest cocktails and desserts! Would definitely come again 10/10

Fantastic food, super friendly and efficient service. The restaurant was completely full - says it all really!

We had the lobster set menu. It was great value and taste really good

Maybe l chose wrong orderingthe pasta, chicken, mushrooms with truffle. It was freshly cooked, but with only about 3 small pieces of chicken & slightly bland in taste, in what was my first visit, l was disappointed. It lacked a depth of flavour to enhance the fresh truffle & mushrooms and instead, l found myself adding lots of parmesan to give it some flavour.

Beautiful little restaurant.. Nice ambiance, good service but the lobster tail was AWFUL .. Do not order.. No lobster meat on it at all. My friends chicken dish was much better. Desert was great.

What a great find! Our daughter had an event at Ninja Warriors, so me and the wife needed to occupy an hour or so. Had a look on Google maps and saw this restaurant had great reviews so decided to give it ago ourselves and were not disappointed. Excellent food at a reasonable price with excellent service, if we lived nearer to it we'd definitely go again.

Best Italian in MK. Hands down. No question. Grazie Mille. ♥️

Too greedy, 12% service charge by default and the lasagna was reheated too many times

Tried both pasta and dessert. Good from ingredients to presentation. Staff are nice too. Highly recommend.

We had an impromptu but fantastic lunch here today. Amazing lobster linguine, beef ragu, kids pasta, afogato, cake and gelato. Lovely service, quick and one of the best affogatos I've ever had! If I'm ever in Milton Keynes again I will definitely be back.

Really accommodating for one of our party who was in a wheelchair. Delicious full English breakfast which is great value for money - 2 of everything! Good quality sausages and bacon, and the freshest of eggs. Also enjoyed the latte and freshly squeezed orange juice. Highly recommended

Keep doing what you’re doing guys. Love coming to eat with you.

My First time for Breakfast for years and quality of food still really good previous visits for Dinners advise you book in advance as Today really busy and the waiting staff and owner were working really hard keeping up with Resturant full when I left was half full when I arrived and knew from experience it is better to book a table to avoid disappointment unless you go on a quiet day. Food prices reflect quality,so is worth everything in visit

We chose the restaurant on a whim on our travels down south from Sheffield. It was a quant restaurant that was atmospheric and great sound of music that was enjoyable but not too load. The food looked and tasted fresh like the chef took pride in his work. It was worth the little extra cost. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area to attend, if they haven't visited it already

Amazing breakfast and lovely place. 100% recommended!

Absolutely Beautiful food! First time visiting and can’t wait to return! The service was slow because they were short staffed but everything was worth waiting for and a lovely experience.

The waiter was lovely there was nothing wrong with her service at all. The reason for the 2 stars was because we complained about the lobster being mushy and almost like a pate. The waiter told us they were ‘fresh’ , which they was clearly frozen, but we didn’t argue this as we didn’t want to ruin our meal/night so we left it. The chef them proceeded to come out of the kitchen with the plate and started to be quite passive aggressive about our complaint. Trying to explain how it wasn’t mushy and was not like pate yet he was not the one eating it. My girlfriend was still eating her meal when he come over to argue that there was nothing wrong with it which I found to be quite rude. This made us feel quite embarrassed as the restaurant is quite small so everyone could see what was going on.After all of this there was no attempt to apologise or even have some curtesy and offer a small amount of money off the lobster. We were more than happy to pay for what we had eaten which was half of the frozen lobster. We just thought that this was not really acceptable considering the price we paid and the lobster was not up to scratch. Having said it was a small restaurant we did not want to kick up a fuss over this so we paid the full amount. This really disappointed us as the starters, drinks and my girlfriends meal was amazing. Unfortunately this has put us off this restaurant, as there was no need for the chef to come out like that so we will not be returning.

Originally booked the sister restaurant on Oxley park but they cancelled due to staff issues so went greedy italian instead. Wasn't fully booked but service was slow. Starters came out in dribs and drabs rather than 3 together. The food was ok but took over 40 minutes for starters then a very long wait for mains. Clearly they had staff issues here too. Wasn't impressed.

Tasty food. High quality. Great service. A must-visit!

The most delicious aranchino and pasta I have ever eaten

Absolutely Amazing food and service. I’m not local to here so visited The Greedy Italian on a work conference. Hands down the best Italian I have ever eaten. Lobster night is not one to be missed!

We have been on the mission to try our favourite customized breakfast in different places across the country and honestly this is probably the best one yet - TOP quality in all aspects, food, service, atmosphere. Love it.

Have been multiple times now and the food, drinks, and service are always top notch! Bottomless brunch was also fantastic with huge portions of food and a nice selection of cocktails

Another great visit to this friendly, warm delightful gem of a restaurant. A warm welcome as always, and this time we took even more family with us, and once again with great service, exceptional food and a fantastic atmosphere, it came up to the mark, as it does again and again! Great food served well, decent wines, all at a cost that won't break the bank too. Has to be our favourite restaurant in Milton Keynes by a long way.

Sat, , ordered food and drinks, drinks came Food took over an hour and during that time we were asked to move (2 of us on a table for 4) as more people had booked Sat near kitchen, heard chef yell for service for 10 mins Food came out cold Food was mediocre Service wasn't great

Probably the best breakfast I've had.

It's the most gorgeous little restaurant...lovely decor, amazing freshly cooked food and very professional staff. I highly recommended

Great night out . Food was excellent 👌

The amazing team went above and beyond to help us celebrate our Mum and Dad’s Golden Wedding Anniversary. There were 15 of us and not one order was wrong or cold, the food was amazing (best Italian food I’ve eaten in England) we weren’t kept waiting at all and nothing was too much trouble - they even decorated the table and area for us!

Family organised our 50th anniversary celebrations at this wonderful restaurant delicious food, friendly staff, perfect!

Don't get me wrong, the food was good - there just wasn't much of it although some dishes going to other tables (for example with bucatini, tagliatelle) seemed more plentiful. Did we just pick the wrong dishes ?! As a starter, I went with the Monkfish and Chorizo Skewers, but what was served up was a single skewer with just two pieces of fish and 2 pieces of chorizo, served over a few rocket leaves. Needless to say this left me underwhelmed. The main course of Lobster Ravioli also seemed to be on the endangered species list. A good portion of Tiramasu was served for dessert though. No complaints about the service - this was attentive and friendly throughout - and there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. The last indignity though was having a 12.5% service charge automatically slapped on the bill. I almost always leave a gratuity - I just don't like the idea of it being put on the bill without prior consent or knowledge. There is good to take away from my visit but also aspects that did not sit well with me.

Excellent food. Truffle pastas are to die for - do NOT miss your chance. Run by Mel. (who's lovely) Staff are great. Highly recommended

Made a last-minute booking for 2 adults and 2 children. They found a table for us straight away. The service and food were excellent. It's a shame it's not local to us. We will come back when we're in the area again.

Always an amazing food and service at one of our favourite restaurants.

First time at the Greedy Italian, group of 10 of us booked for 60th party on a busy Saturday night, from the moment we arrived Melissa and her team made us feel most welcome, food and service was excellent, strongly recommended this restaurant, we will definitely be back Thank you

Outstanding food, homemade dessert offering is sublime.

Best meal I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend anyone to go! Service was great and still can’t get over the lobster tagliatelle

Absolutely superb !! Super friendly and helpful staff, real nice Italian vibe inside the restaurant and the food was excellent. The best Italian food around . Highly recommended

Absolutely loved it !!! Superb friendly and helpful staff , real Italian vibe and excellent food. Highly recommended

Disappointed - we had a 9am reservation; the only people in there when we arrived. We waited 20 minutes from ordering for the coffee to arrive - and the food order wasn’t taken until then…and we waited another 35 mins for the food to arrive....

By far the best food I have ever had and the staff and owners are amazing I would give 10 stars if I could
