The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

This is a wonderful restaurant we have been many times Yesterday the meal was exceptional the chicken was totally delicious as was was the starter It’s such a lovely atmosphere all the staff are friendly One of the waitresses was outstanding I noticed that when a woman and her partner had left her coat behind she ran like the wind to outside to return the coat the girl was only young but a credit to the restaurant Saying that our experience is all the staff are brilliant and food superb Thank you Tiggis

So sad it's closed. Been visiting for over 40 years. My favourite Italian bar no . Visited Edinburgh when ever I could to call on bar Italia. So sad

We visit this restaurant whit friends. Very perfect food and service wonderful . Very large menu and quality best have ever. We be back again whit pleasure. Grazie :)

Enjoyed an evening meal for two here. Pleasantly informal. Good service and food. We would return if staying in the Bloomsbury area

Genuinely incredible service, Maria is a genuine and kind host, max served our meal and was so attentive! Beth served our drinks and they came quickly with lovely glassware! Can’t wait for my next visit team! Xoxoxo

We were here in September 2023 with friends. Four people and of the four, one was too spicy and three were gold star meals. We had the Arrabiatta with chicken which was probably the best I have ever had. Service was good, price was reasonable. So good we are back in October 2024 on our next visit to Scotland. The service has stepped up a notch, now seriously seriously good. The food superb. No it’s not the prettiest restaurant around but the best food and service and still great value for money. Very few restaurants approve of my husband and I sharing one meal. But this restaurant rather than just putting the food on one plate no giving us a spare plate, shared the meal out and served us each our own portion of the one meal. Love that! Put it on your list .

We came here for my friends birthday and they gave us a free dessert and treated us amazingly. A lovely place to come for a pizza in Cardiff! Our waitress Ramsha was extremely wonderful. 11/10

We were greeted with warmth even though we didn't have a reservation. The waiters were very professional, helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and the area. They all had a lighthearted and friendly jocular manner. The venue was very comfortable and clean with great decor, with pictures depicting the owners family in Italy. The food and wine was delicious and presented well. The service was prompt and unobtrusive. We were only in Edinburgh for a long weekend, but ate there twice and had a great experience both times. Would highly recommend.

Food was delicious, staff excellent, lovely atmosphere and such a reasonable price. We loved it and will definitely be back.

Emilia’s Crafted Pasta near the Tower of London is fantastic! The fresh, handmade pasta is packed with authentic Italian flavors. I had the ravioli, and it was cooked to perfection—rich, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious meal!

Hadn’t been here for a few years and visited today for lunch. The lunch menu is incredible value, £12:95 for three courses and the food was superb. Starters were bruschetta and pate, both excellent. Main courses Italian sausage pizza and bolognaise al forno again excellent, for dessert Tiramisu and sticky toffee sundae both fantastic. All in all incredible value for excellent food, definitely going back sometime soon.

A total rip off! Admittedly, this is a tapas bar so to be expected but the quantities served barely amount to £15 on the £75 menu, The presentation was certainly not refined to reflect the price, As for the desserts, nothing was fresh to the point that someone in our party even spat out the cheese cake, Just looking at the menu I did expect it to be disappointing and it lived to its expectations.

Delicious food!! A true taste of Sicily in Southend.

The pizza tastes good, but it doesn’t match the advertised size. The website says the large one is 36 cm, and when ordering by phone, I also asked if this 36 cm is the size when raw or cooked. I was assured it was in the cooked state. However, when I received the order, the pizza measured 34 cm in diameter. The area of a circle is calculated using the formula: A = πr², so the area of the cooked pizza should be A = 3.14 * 18² = 1,017 cm². In reality, though, it’s A = 3.14 * 17² = 907 cm². The difference between the advertised and actual sizes is 1,017 - 907 = 110 cm². There are 8 slices in the pizza, which means the area of one slice should be 1,017 ÷ 8 = 127 cm². This means that the difference between the advertised and actual product is almost equivalent to one slice of pizza.

Walked in on a Thursday night, lovely service, very friendly and great food. Felt very welcome and comfortable.
