The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Have eaten here a few times. Food is good. Tonight we were rushed to make drink and food choices. 2 of the empty plates were cleared from the table while 3rd person's was still eating. Dessert menus were hurriedly given to us and then we were asked did we want the bill. We were still finishing off the wine so asked could we have a minute to do so. We weren't late diners and the restaurant was still busy when we left about 8. Perhaps the waitress was in a hurry home. Disappointing service and we would certainly think twice before returning. We spent over £100 so it wasn't a cheap night out.

This was the best pizza I have had in years! Fresh tasty ingredients. Staff were very friendly, restaurant great atmosphere… we will definitely be back.

Lovely Italian Tapas, some food is a bit "samey" but there's plenty of choice and variation if you choose well. Desserts need improving, there's not been any added or changed for a while although the Tiramisu is popular (just not my choice) and chocolate brownie, chocolate orange torte, panna cotta or lemon tart are the other main choices.The Ice cream and sorbet is on the expensive side for what you get in the bowl. Drinks menu is varied and prices average for a restaurant.

Best pasta, amazing staff and good vibes. I had Pasta no.5, buratta and Parma ham. All 3 were just mouth watering. And pocket friendly too.

We ordered 5 different dishes. The prices were slightly higher but the choice of food was really impressive. My beef ragu was lovely. Selection of wine was great too. The only down side is we waited around 30-35 minutes for food, and it was not busy (5pm).

Fantastic experience at Pesto at the Yacht! Delicious food, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. Everything was perfect – highly recommend!

Best meatballs I have ever had.

What a wonderful find. The food was delicious, we had a main of monkfish and a starter of scallops, both were beautifully cooked and it was washed down with a bottle of pinot that was also first class. Would highly recommend, great service and lovely surroundings.

Service from katy was amazing! Friendly and knowledgeable! Natural and pleasant Food was delicious and wait was not bad at all for a busy Saturday evening

The food here is incredible, the service great and the prices very good! Never disappoints! Highly recommend the banoffee pie!

Dropped in by chance and as you can’t book if a small party we had a 30 minute wait as it was busy. Really good atmosphere, staff were well trained and the food was excellent. The stroganoff was the best I have ever had and the pizza was also very good. One of the best Italian meals I have ever had.

Really lovely restaurant. Delicious pizza and starters made from fresh ingredients. Great service from Ethan. We will be back to try desserts.

Really nice and authentic Italian restaurant in York. It’s off the beaten track and we only went on a recommendation but it was well worth finding it and eating there. We both had the spaghetti carbonara which was delicious. It is CASH only though so come prepared. There were lots of people there that were obviously regulars which is always a good sign. Reasonably priced.

Very busy on Saturday night so we had to wait quite a while but worth it. Lovely food, and a buzzing atmosphere make for a great night. Just allow plenty of time and enjoy the vibe!

Beautiful ice cream and fabulous staff. I had some time to kill, so I decided to sit in today. Ice cream was fantastic (as usual) but special kudos to Izzy she was really lovely. Smiling, wishing everyone a good weekend. She’s a real credit to Swoon :)
