The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Under new owners.. Italian food..Food highly priced.. had the sea bass for£21 pound. Small portion of fish(the tail end and so small and thin) didn't even resemble bass . Spoonful of mixed salad. And a ball of mozzarella on my plate. 3items in total. Side portion of chips for£4. Dearest fish and chips ever and was still hungry.. If you get pasta dish you will get plenty.

Amazing food! Have been eating at il gusto for the last few years. I went here with my neighbour and our food was outstanding. For once I didn’t go for the pizzas I had the seafood pasta which was delicious and the garlic pesto tomato bread to start. There food is amazing and would definitely recommend cannot wait to come for dinner again :)

We had a brilliant lunch here today. The food was all delicious - far better than a lot of meals we’ve had in Italy. The namesake Poco pasta was particularly good. Some lovely local Sussex sparkling wine. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. We had our 5 month baby with us which doesn’t usually get you the warmest reception but they were very hospitable. Would highly recommend!

I popped in there tonight and have to say how impressed I was with the quality of the food. For a starter, I had calamari fritti which was made with fresh calamari (none of the ‘elastic bands’ that you so often come across). For the main course I had seafood linguine, which had mussels, prawns, tiger prawn and squid. The pasta was cooked to perfection and Stefany, who is front of house, explained that it was cooked to order so does not sit around waiting to be served. The menu is limited but I think the quality is superb and I’ll certainly be back but next time take a group of friends!

Brilliant meal at Fantastico last night(30/04/24) The Gamberi prawn starter was lovely with really fresh prawns. Primavera risotto was delicious and Tagliatelle Carnacina was Excellent. Great dessert’s accompanied by a great dessert wine.

Great food, perfect location as it was next to the hotel I stayed for work. Quick and attentive service. 10/10 come again if I need to be around here again.

Staff were very polite and friendly. Homemade chips, really were homemade and tasty. Pizzas were very good value for money and I would recommend Girasole. Good to support local trader too.

Lovely staff , lovely food. The gent was so kind to give us a jump start after our grub . We will be back when we visit Perth x

12 of us went for a birthday lunch today. Best Italian food which far exceeded our expectations. I thought I’d been teleported to the Med. Best seafood in Mumbles for sure. This was the best meal I’ve had in mumbles for a very long time. Kath made two birthday cakes for the 2 birthday girls. All staff were super attentive and smiley. Thankyou!

A gaggle of dishevelled but quite charming Gen Zs knocking out slightly above average pizza

I have been here on 2 seperate occasions and really liked the pasta. There is enough 'vegetarian ' options if you are prepared to accept parmesian (which I do...) I have had: - cacio e Pepe. Really good. - walnut pesto. Was OK - Arancini. Was OK - halloumi fries. Good. Really good value. Both times I came for dinner. Definately worth visiting for a pasta fix

Pre ordered lunch for 13 workmates the day before. Everything ready for collection right on time. Most had different dishes, everyone throughly enjoyed theirs. Would highly recommend. We'll be back. Lindsey and Wullie, Homeshield Scotland Ltd.

Just had an incredible meal. Impeccable service too. Flavours superb, proper italian. Wasn't going to have dessert until my wife spotted the Cannoli. Haven't found anyone doing them in a North West restaurant, so had to give it a go. These were the real deal. Staff attentive, but not over the top. Perfect evening. This review was hanging in my drafts. Been several times since and it is consistently excellent. Seen quibbles about service charges which I can't see on a menu, and have never noticed one applied. Perhaps it's just for larger parties?

If you like pizza then you're in for a pleasant surprise

What a lovely family run place. Food excellent, service was great and a nice friendly atmosphere. We will come back.
