The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

We booked a table for a Friday night (advisable as it is a fairly small restaurant) and it was our first visit but had been recommended by friends. The food was excellent, very tasty. There was a specials menu in addition to the usual menu. The house red wine was also superb. Considering it was very busy, the service was also excellent. Our table was ready and waiting and we were served promptly. The cost was very reasonable considering the quality of the meals (and we had a bottle of house red). Definitely a great place to go for a meal if visiting Filey.

Food is very yummy 😋 I had lamb with carrots and mash - my favourite, my bf had steak which was cooked perfectly 👌🏼 and the chips were delicious - already salted too. Next time I would love to try the steak! The only thing that let it down was our waitress was a bit loud and over powering, I was there with my family and she would shout when approaching the table which made my dad jump as he wears hearing aids. I was also told she snatched the spoons out my dads hands which he didn't like - not sure if she was just joking around but she didn't impress my dad or nan. When it came to the bill, we as a family never pay the service charge but we tip instead, we made this clear when paying for the bill that we haven't paid the service charge but the waitress came back saying there was still an amount to pay which we then said yes that must be the service charge - she acted offended and then left. That was a bit awkward but other than that the service was absolutely fine, we was never left sitting around waiting for food or drinks it ran so smoothly and the staff there were very attentive. The atmosphere is very nice and calm, no rushing around, I would definitely recommend coming here for special occasion meals.

Me and my wife used to be fairly regular patrons here and then weren't able to go as much, but we managed to go this month for the first time in a long time. Still some of the best food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Great service too from start to finish. Truthfully, this would have been a 5 star review but the menu has had so much removed from it and personally I know found it slightly limited. But what they do have is the best Italian food around.

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

I loved this place. Very nice atmosphere, great service and the food was delicious. As an Italian I'd definitely come back.

Lovely little spot for lunch or dinner.

We were very disappointed last night. Been here lots over the years but last night the food was mediocre at best. The calamari looked good and was ok but it was quite rubbery. The chicken was dry and over cooked with a risotto that was just a pile of very salty plain mush. Couldn't comment on the flavour due to the salt. But no bite at all to the rice. We come here at least every year as we met here years ago and the food is normally exceptional. Maybe they have changed chef recently? Not sure we'll carry on this tradition now😞

Booked a dinner for November 5th and when we arrived at the location, the inside of the restaurant is like a bombshell. They don’t even bother to call us for cancellation nonetheless why they accepted a booking anyway duuuuuuh! 🤦🏻‍♀️ S£&@:(

Good value for money, especially the Aperito offer. They also have a deli corner now, after they close Mercato, which was locate inside the Grafton Shopping Mall. They sell nice Italian products, some as well from Greece and Spain. While for drinking and eating is great, the deli is a bit over priced.

Busy wee place, stayed right above this in an apartment, only down side is garlic 1st thing every morning right through the property!!

came here this evening for our wedding anniversary dinner. we were seated promptly and the staff were very attentive. place was clean and tidy. the food arrived quickly, but there was no skimping on quality. the risotto pollo was to die for, good portion size. we spent £48 altogether which was very reasonable for 3 courses. my only complaint would be maybe some chill classical music in the background and some more comfortable chairs, but I'm not gonna knock a star off for that. altogether a really lovely dinner, thank you to the staff for making our anniversary celebrations very relaxed and pleasant!

After a long walk it was great to discover Mother and Wild. Great coffee made by Eis and astonishingly good cakes served by Ben. Not surprised it is part of Walcot House. Will certainly be returning, well done all.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area Been going since it opened Great people who this near authentic Napoli eatery

We made a last minute decision to eat out rather than at the hotel we were staying at. La Sorrentina were able to accommodate us at short notice. Best decision we made, the service was amazing and the food was outstanding. Thank you for saving our weekend away! Lovely restaurant with a friendly team and incredible food reasonably priced, couldn't have asked for more. You deserve all the stars!

Tried this place last night and it massively exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious (pizza, pasta, fish) and the service was great, waiters went above and beyond to make it thoroughly enjoyable. Also didn't feel ripped off at all, very fair prices.
