The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

We were treated to a lovely mothers day lunch here so booked it for an evening with 4 of our friends. Having told them how great the food was we were expecting a good night. 2 of us had the carbonara which when it arrived was like the meat had been previously cooked and then over reheated and was too hard to eat. I put it all to the side and ate half the past when the waitress arrived I complained and was told that was how it was meant to be! I obviously told her it wasn't and she said shed mention it to the kitchen. Another friend complained that her crab pasta had next to no crab in it and was almost all pasta. For the next 40 to 45 mins nobody came near us even to offer us a drink or the desert menu needless to say we left. I really don't like leaving negative reviews and I wouldn't have if we'd been treated differently. Always better to complain when the management can at least discuss with the customer than to go away feeling like no-one was interested in our opinion.

Todo aquí se veía increíble y volveré por una pinsa y un poco de queso. Tomé una copa de vino preciosa hoy mientras veía el mundo pasar. Personal muy amable y bien informado

We came to have a dinner and instead of greetings and normal social interaction upon our arrival were met with hostility and rudeness from the waiter. When we were leaving one of the chefs flipped us off. I never experienced this kind of attitude towards customers anywhere in the world.

Really exceptional vegan food. Very tasty and inventive. You can take your non vegan friends too Amazing tiramisu!! Had to stop myself from licking the plate! The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that I felt the tables are a little too close together so a bit uncomfortable when sitting so close to others, especially if on a date, but it is a small venue to I guess that can’t be helped.

Venue is stunning. Super cute and cosy feel. Staff were nice, but I do feel they lacked enthusiasm and communication. We waited 20 minutes for our first 2 drinks (beer and a porn star martini) 40 minutes for our second 2 cocktails. We were given one drink free as we had waited so long. We had gone out with the intention of trying as many cocktails as we could but we felt like staff had actually forgotten about us. With only 4 tables, I find that hard to believe. When we were ordering food it all went pretty easy. The food took a respectable time to come out and it was actually pretty tasty! After our food was cleared the waitress asked if we wanted another beer over, i said yes but my friend was about to order and she walked away. We had been in the restaurant from 6-8pm had our meal and 6 drinks and generally felt a bit deflated after it. On a brighter note. When we did get the cocktails they were amazing, the place was clean and food was really nice. Just might get a takeaway instead next time.

Reservamos para el brunch y pedimos un plato principal cada uno y un café. La comida era buena, pero sentimos que nos hubiera gustado más en el plato por el dinero que pagamos. Pedí el rosti de salmón ahumado que era muy sabroso, pero habría sido bueno si venía con un huevo escalfado o setas o aguacate o algo más. Mi marido sentía lo mismo por su orden de almuerzo. La cuenta llegó a más de £ 50 y nos fuimos todavía sintiendo hambre. Si bien nos gustó el ambiente y el personal era atento y la comida era buena - y la industria de la hospitalidad está pasando un mal momento - nos sentimos no recibimos una buena relación calidad-precio.

Aunque la señalización aún está activa, Tomatinos ahora es parte del bar de tapas de al lado. Extremadamente confusas, puertas separadas, pero cuando te acercas a lo que se anuncia como Tomatinos, dice ¡entra por la otra puerta, que es el restaurante de tapas! Una vez dentro te dan 2 menús. Uno es pizza y otro tapas. Servicio lento y confuso, pedimos vino pero no lo tenían, ya que parece que no están reordenando nada en el menú de bebidas de Tomatinos, sino usando el caldo de las tapas. Todo fue un poco impredecible. El horno de leña para pizzas está en el lado ahora vacío del restaurante, así que nos decepcionó. Cuando llegaron las pizzas, sorprendentemente rápido teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que nos llevó tomar nuestro pedido y que llegara el vino, estaban muy buenas. Base fina y crujiente, mi tipo favorito y muy generosamente rematado. Se sentía caótico, pero ahora sabemos qué esperar, volveríamos ya que las pizzas estaban buenas.

It was excellent, The service was friendly, quick and efficient ,great food portions are really generous! The place is welcoming, Many thanks

On of the best pub Sunday lunches in Sussex, topped with excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble , will definitely be back

Conoscendo il proprietario della gestione precedente sono ritornato "DA NONNA" ma, con mio dispiacere ho notato che nonostante sulla carta erano riportate "tagliatelle con funghi porcini" sono state servite con funghi champignon", le Bruschette con mozzarella di bufala e prosciutto patanegra erano con mozzarella normale e prosciutto di parma. Tutto ciò significa che il valore dei prodotti riportati sulla carta era di gran lunga superiore ai prodotti serviti. Il cameriere merita il massimo delle stelle per come si é comportato.

It was great pizza what else can I say? We ordered 10 boxes, nothing was left over that's good pizza

Como parte de la sala de grifo en la cervecería Sambrook - Estábamos en la cervecería para la experiencia del día, y como resultado se obtiene fichas de cerveza para su descanso para el almuerzo. ¡Así que sería grosero no tener una de las pizzas fantásticas también! Creo que el mío se llamaba el Gaffer y está cargado de pepperoni y una corteza ligera soberbia. Suficientemente grande para una ubicación posterior al trabajo - muy brillante y vibrante.

I smelt this delicatessen before I walked through the door and was transported backed to my trip to Italy. Everything in the store looked so inviting and I ended up buying from the deli the olives artichokes and some of the pastries. I’m excited to take them home and try them the owner of the storehad the most wonderful Italian accent and really made us feel very welcome in his store. I would really recommend this experience and I look forward to sharing the food that I bought with my friends and family.

Accueil très chaleureux ! Cuisine de qualité Nous avons passé une excellente soirée nous vous recommandons cette adresse

I have been to Scrando's many times and it never fails. Whether you are on a pub crawl or a family looking for a place to eat that will actually accommodate kids (rare in Hoylake) then this place is a real gem. The menu is tailored to be American Fast Food but there are often specials in addition to the main menu, likewise there are often themed days that kids love added into the mix (see facebook). For those on a budget they often do deals and on this particular day when I went, my youngest ate for a quid which included a burger, fries and a fruit shoot. Likewise, we had the four beers for £12 deal which in the summer is brilliant value. It's one of the best eateries in Hoylake. Granted many will go to pubs or restaurants if they are going out with friends but for those that want a quick bite or looking for a place that actually wants kids there, this place is not to be missed.
