The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

We tried this restaurant after walking past a couple of times recently, and we are so glad we did! We were seated whilst the restaurant was fairly quiet, and were pleased to find homemade pastas that were a little different to most average Italian restaurants, we had spaghetti with clams, perfect pasta with huge clams, seasoned beautifully, and truffle tagliatelle served at the table in a Parmesan wheel, which was quite possibly the nicest thing I have eaten in a long time! Perfect portion sizes and small but very decent wine list. We also tried the homemade tiramisu which was fantastic too! Service was friendly even though the young lady serving us was on her own with 20+ customers! We will definitely be returning and recommending to family and friends! Thanks for a lovely evening!

We went again this week with different friends. Last week one of our party said his sirloin steak was up there with the tastiest he has ever had. Everything was spot on. Not sure about the previous review, we all had the breaded chicken with different spaghetti and sauces and all four were delicious. The mussels special starters were excellent. A decent wine list as well. A lovely family run experience and super value as well. Thank you to all involved.

Messed the guy around today delivering to a customer nearby, Super chilled when i returned and asked for the coffee he made 20 mins ago. He said i drank that one. Heres a fresh one! What a legend!

The best Italian in Buxton. The food is delicious, the staff are brilliant and Gio is legendary. The perfect place for any occasion. Highly recommend.

Brilliant deli - reminded me of the Italian delis in London's Soho from my childhood. Great spaghetti and Guanciale which we just happened to need for a recipe. And in Dunstable of all places

Had a great time at this little tapas bar in Stokesley. The food was wonderful and came out quickly, great selection of cocktails too and Tina was very heplful. Would definitely recommend an evening here.

After a day out at Blackpool Zoo we were looking for somewhere nearby for tea and, very fortunately, chose here. What a stroke of luck! Eat is a five minute drive from the Zoo and we managed to park immediately outside the restaurant. It's a small restaurant with lots of Italian themed artwork on the walls. We're a family of four with children aged four and one. Both children had penne pasta with Napoli sauce, which was a mild tomato based sauce. That was from the kids menu, which included chicken strips, Margherita pizza and spaghetti or penne bolognaise. Us adults had tortellini in crema (pasta in a creamy sauce with ham) and penne al salmone (pasta with a lovely creamy tomato sauce and pieces of salmon fillet). We had garlic bread too. Everything was delicious. We also had puddings. I had a rum baba and my wife had profiteroles. Again, they were delicious. It's a family run business and the lady that served us was lovely and friendly. She even asked if we would like our meals after the children had finished theirs, which we've never been asked before, despite eating out regularly with the kids. We're used to the chaos of us all trying to eat together, so we declined, but if you're spoon feeding a baby or have a really fussy eater then that gesture would be really helpful. We don't visit Blackpool too often as we live over an hour away but next time we're back, we'll definitely be visiting here again!

Collected a pizza to take home, superb value and quality, the food is always top class. Wellington is so fortunate to have an Italian of this quality

Friendly small restaurant serving amazingly good food. My mushroom and truffle oil pizza was to die for! The service was excellent and the owner is obviously passionate and knowledgeable about good quality food and wine.

Fabulous Dining Experience With That Authentic Italian Feeling In The Heart of The Centre of Sheffield Highly Recommended

Oh my. What a treasure we stumbled upon. Absolutely, we had the most delicious food here, yet from the first moment of genuine, kind, friendly staff and beautiful decor it was a highly memorable event. Staying at the hotel next door, we popped in without a booking and were quickly and kindly found a table. I definitely recommend booking as it would be a travesty to miss this! Faced with the (we are so very blessed even to be able to travel and eat out) first world difficulty of choosing from the extensive and drool worthy menu we settled on sharing the Goats Cheese Salad and the Hot Hen Pizza. With a glass of white. Of course. I have often shared food but have never before not wanted to even try the second dish until my taste buds had finished dancing from the delights of my half of the first. Salad? Food from the menu of heaven’s own banqueting table more like! My only other comparable salad was from a bistro in California. I think this one even topped that. Go on, order this next time! With a fine line drawn down the middle of the bowl, each strawberry and blueberry divided equally, the deep fried goats cheese with its cloak of chutney carefully cut in 2, I realised my half of the dish was now empty, so mournfully swapped dishes with my partner. I usually let him have the lions share as I’m more bijou in size. Not for that salad. Goodness, I don’t think so! Fortunately the pizza was no less thrilling. Such a wonderful place, worth a trip to Arrochar any day. I will for sure return. 20/10. Yum.

I just wanted to leave a review following our stay last night (18/11/2023) An absolutely amazing stay, bedroom had all we needed. We had a fantastic sleep and a wonderful view. The food was amazing the best pub grub I have had in a very long time. The breakfast equally as good. The staff were all friendly and had excellent customer service, very welcoming. The locals made us feel at home and a good time was had all round. Stephen was a wonderful host and a brilliant chef. We can't wait to return next year to try out the glamping pod

Went here for supper with a friend who is known here and uses a wheelchair. The service was kind, understanding, welcoming and attentive. Our pizzas were very good - very authentic - and reasonably priced. My tiramisu was also very good indeed. What a pity I live so far away from this place!

What a fabulous place, really glad we tried it. We were greeted warmly and the service for the whole evening was great. The food was absolutely delicious, we will definitely return

Great food Great service . Salisbury needs more sit down cafe style eateries like this one serving hot food and plated meals
