The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

We visited for the first time tonight and were really impressed with the food and hospitality. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends!

The best genuine authentic Italian food service and family atmosphere....

Food was lovely and well presented staff friendly and helpful restaurant is nice and clean didn't take pictures this time but when I get chance to go back I will

So some of us had starters but we waited over 90 minutes for our mains. The waiting staff were poor..

Good, freshly cooked, standard British Indian restaurant food. Lovely staff.

Yet another two visit's to this fabulous restaurant and thoroughly enjoying the delightful food that is cooked and served by Reno and his team. We look forward to whatever the future direction takes you and wish you well in your next adventure, thank you for some memorable evenings and meals.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at The Vault last night. Fantastic service and excellent food. Will most certainly visit again soon.

Excellent food first class service and ambianc

So good I went back twice in one day. The pistachio pastry was one of the best pastries I have had in my life 👌

The best Burrata I’ve ever had! Great setting and vibe, food was beautiful and staff lovely. Can’t wait to return soon. Thanks

Fantastic! Used to come here a lot but not been for years…. Well I’ve wasted my time elsewhere! Great family place , friendly atmosphere and food looked amazing and tasted better. Family run for over 40years but being sold due to retirement, however they won’t close until it’s sold so fill your boots and get the best while you can. Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻

This was our fifth or sixth visit to Sonny Stores & unfortunately might have been our last, despite having it been one of our favourite spots in Bristol up until now. Our booking was at 2.30 so unsure as to whether we were unlucky in the sitting between lunch & dinner but the service was really poor - we were stood lingering in the middle of the restaurant for us to be greeted / sat down, our drinks took 45 minutes to come & overall we felt pretty forgotten whereas other tables were being attended to. My friend ordered a lime & soda & was brought a glass of sparkling water & chopped limes for her to squeeze herself into her drink which was a bit random. Not sure if there has been a change in chef as the pasta menu wasn't as varied or impressive as in previous visits. Overall, the food was tasty but really would have expected the service to have been better for what we paid,

Awesome night at amici, Eddie and the staff are very friendly and helpful, the best bit tho is the food is outstanding

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Starter and desert were both great but 2 of us ordered the seafood linguine and when it eventually arrived it was spaghetti with no explanation. I appreciate the food is cooked to order but it took 3 hours and we had to rush our deserts to rescue the car. The staff were apologetic and refunded a couple of glasses of wine but it spoilt a birthday celebration. As a previous poster has noted there is no way to respond to the reply from the owners other than editing this review. I really don’t want to get into a long winded discussion over this but neither do I wish it to be implied that I’m not telling the truth. We arrived at the restaurant at 7.50, our deserts arrived at 10.30 and we left at 10.40. Our wait for our starters was at least 45 minutes from ordering followed by a longer wait for our mains.

The restaurant is small (around 20 seats) and the decor is dated but it’s impeccable in its cleanliness and the menu has a nice choice and pretty standard restaurant prices. We went as a family and had a lovely meal, the service was great and the food was exactly what I expect of an Italian. Good quality ingredients cooked well. We would absolutely go again and happily recommend it to others.
