The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Food very good soup had too much pepper in it for me tho

Great service! Thank you so much to Mihai for be so helpful and kind!

Trabajé en Poco durante un par de meses en la tienda Headingley y disfruté de mi tiempo trabajando allí. La comida es excelente, hecha fresca por chefs que se preocupan por la comida que están haciendo. Hay una gran selección de postres y cosas saladas, cambiando semanalmente, lo cual es genial si quieres variedad en lo que estás recibiendo. Mis favoritos fueron los Calzones y los Arancini (¡tanto los sabores como las opciones vegetarianas son geniales!). Los desiertos son deliciosos y muy variados, así que hay mucho para elegir. La crema fresca Bomboloni, o pistacho Aragastina o Cannoli son mis favoritas. Pero todo es delicioso y vale la pena probarlo. Trabajar allí fue bueno. Detrás de escena hay mucho que hacer de gente trabajadora que quiere traer una porción de la cultura alimentaria siciliana a Leeds. Bruno, gerente de la sucursal de Headingley, es un tipo maravilloso que se preocupa profundamente por su herencia siciliana y proporciona a los demás una experiencia gastronómica que refleja la alegría y el deleite de la cultura gastronómica que experimentó al crecer en Italia. Es un gran tipo que siempre está abierto a hablar de los productos que se ofrecen y cualquier relacionado con la cultura italiana, haciéndolo con gran pasión. Un gran lugar para trabajar y visitar, lo recomiendo encarecidamente!

My partner and I came here for Valentines Day with a set menu, it was absolutely delicious. The presentation was amazing, was no long waits and it all tasted so fresh. Our waiter, Will, was incredible, nothing was too much for him. Lovely lovely guy!

First time at this Italian restaurant, food and service was first class, I had Carppacio for a starter, Halibut for main and Cheese & biscuits. Will definitely be going back.

Alfresco, Cleeve, is so much more than a first rate Italian restaurant - it is the venue for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of entertainment. Today our fellow diners included couples, family groups with well behaved young children, groups of men and other groups of women, and couples. There was an excited buzz of conversation which added to an authentic Italian restaurant atmosphere. The food is always beautifully cooked and impeccably presented, the staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive, the ambiance is perfect. My wife and I have taken to eating there about once a fortnight and though it is not inexpensive it is always good value for money. This evening my wife enjoyed duck and I had chicken in a mushroom sauce. The meat was so well cooked it melted in the mouth and the sauces were delicate and exactly suited to the dishes. The wine list is good and the dessert menu is quite extensive. I recommend Alfresco without reservation

We were cold and a bit miserable as we walked into the Gloucester Quays area, looking for a coffee. Caffe Corretto looked inviting, so we popped in for coffee and croissants. Perfect! The coffees were made exactly to our liking, and the croissants, one plain, one almond, were crisp and delicious. Look no further for a coffee stop, this one ticks all the boxes.

So disappointed!! we were seated quickly in a nice area and I just want to preface this by saying the waiters were lovely this isn't a reflection on them or their customer service. The organisation between the kitchen and customers was just not there as our food came out over an hour late. I felt bad for our waiter who didn't know what was happening with the food either. When we got our food the pizzas were awful, the cheese was cheap and rubbery, the base was so bland and doughey. The pizzas had no flavour at all, I've had better for 99p from morrisons. Overall really disappointed. Edit: response to their reply we were complaining after an hour passed by because waiting over an hour is a long time for a meal. We ordered 20 minutes after we arrived because no one came to take our order untill them. We said they were okay because we didn't want to make the issue with organising and the kitchen the waiters fault. I don't know who you think is overreacting as I was one of the people who apologized? I don't think anyone overreacted so that's a bit of an overstatement theres no need to be rude? We said sorry to the waiter as we knew it wasn't their fault. There was no overreaction we were understanding of the situation we didn't overreact to any of the staff the only thing we asked was to remove the service charge. If you think asking to remove an optional charge and enquiring about our food status after an hour is an overreaction then I don't know what to tell you. This is just honest feedback and sorry you can't take that on board. For those reading this I've attached the response to my original review which honestly just comes across rude. I'd avoid this place if they get upset over google reviews.

Great food great service. Thank you

The staff are amazing and so welcoming and the food is superb. Thank you for making our trips so wonderful.

Tried to book a table on the website twice, me and my mum both rang and no one answered so we left a message for them to call us back saying our phone numbers but we never got a call back, disgusting service.

Having reserved a table, was very disappointed, on arrival, to be offered a table right in front of the outside door, then moved to an upstairs area, which totally lacked atmosphere. Service by young staff was pleasant and willing. Food was very average and rather expensive. Would not revisit.

Great experience. Food was lovely, service brilliant, wine also great. Overall faultless experience would definitely recommend. We ordered garlic bread with cheese, arancini, lobster ravioli, chicken broccoli brandy cream pasta, tiramisu, sticky toffee pudding. Would advise booking on weekends, we called 2 hours prior and got a table but all tables full later evening so don’t miss out. Thanks to all staff we will be back again soon!

A nice place with beautiful cocktails. The prices are crazy during happy hour.

We went for a family lunch for my mother in laws 80th Birthday. The table was beautifully set, The staff were attentive , The food was incredible , it was reasonably priced. ( worked out about 55.00 per head, we all had drinks , 3 courses and the service charge) . This is our 3rd visit as a family, Mum has been more than we have . Will CERTAINLY GO AGAIN !! Thankyou Team !!!
