The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

A great place for an Italian meal. Outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Large choice on the menu. Reasonable prices.

We had an amazing night for my daughter’s 21st birthday. The staff were so attentive especially macy, she’s a beautiful girl and a credit to the business. The food was fantastic, we enjoyed every minute and will definitely be back

We had a great meal and the pizza was very good

Since the change in ownership, this once lovely restaurant has sadly gone downhill. Ordered pizza, and it had too much tomato sauce and cheese and a soggy base, so I didn't enjoy it - it definitely was not an authentic Italian pizza where you can taste the fresh ingredients. However, despite previous bad comments, the service could not be faulted. The restaurant was only half full on a Saturday night.

First to arrive for an early pre-concert meal, so lacked atmosphere until other diners arrived. Didn't look open so needs work on lighting, but the food is outstanding. The Chef/patron took our order and then cooked it to our exact requirements, quite happy to substitute items in the Carbonara--mushrooms and courgette for Pancetta-, and gluten-free pasta for my wife. Substantial portions with surprisingly generous amounts of prawns and monkfish in the linguine. Just needs a little tweak with the presentation and the decor.as the food is very good indeed.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. When I arrived, the employee who greeted me didn’t even bother to communicate properly. She simply led me to a table without saying a word, and then left me waiting there for several minutes without any explanation. Her body language was incredibly rude and unwelcoming, which made the whole experience uncomfortable. Basic courtesy and good service go a long way, but unfortunately, I didn’t experience any of that here. It was a frustrating visit, and I won’t be returning.

We visit Poco Leeds Central for our pistachio filled croissants fix. The are not cheap at £3.90 each and unfortunately the quality can be very variable. On a good day, these little beauties are well filled indulgent treats which are well worth the cash. Other times they have virtually no filling and are no better than a cheap supermarket offering. Sadly today we were again left very disappointed with what turned out to be thin and pale croissants with virtually no filling at all. Definitely not value for money. Come on Poco, sort out your quality control.

Lovely food, service and just quite simply a really nice time. Will definitely be back.

We come here time and again. The wait staff are exceptional - such beautiful service. The food is absolutely exquisite. I've never had a seafood risotto with quite so much seafood in it! We haven't had a bad dish here! Superb!

Great food, Great Service - Would definitely recommend

Our favourite restaurant in town. Always welcomed with a smile. Food is incredible and service is fantastic.

Had minestrone soup, no taste, calzone extremely Peppery, service was OK. Garlic bread with cheese was very greasy. Spoke to the waitress, about the calzone, she said she would do something, she did nothing. Will not be eating there again. Poor

Excellent coffee, good food. Some alcoholic drinks, friendly service, and occasional live music. Great vibe.

This restaurant has become the go-to place for my wife and me when we want to treat ourselves. Today (20 Sept) we enjoyed lunch. I had Pollo al Funghi e Crema and my wife had Anatra Scottate, we followed that with a lemon Sorbet. My wife enjoyed a glass of Merlot and I, as I was driving, had a tonic water followed by tea (for her) and double expresso (for me). Our meals were beautifully cooked and presented. The service from our waitress Michela was given with grace and charm. She was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Our fellow diners included a family group, with well behaved children, couples and small groups. There was an authentic Italian atmosphere to go with the authentic Italian meal. Lunch was a thoroughly pleasurable experience at a very reasonable price. I recommend this restaurant without reservation.

First time here, lots of dishes to choose from. All great tasting didn't have anything we didn't like. The service was excellent and staff were really friendly. We'll definitely be back.
