The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

I wanted to take family from Scotland and overseas to an Italian Restaurant away from the mundane 'tourist areas' of Leicester Square and The Strand and, after a couple of hours of searching online, found Bon Gusto. We were not disappointed; the food was excellent and the service/attention equally so. Its location is not my locality but I will return, simply because it was excellent value-for-money!

Had been there many times and today we went again. As always staff is fantastic, welcoming and food is one of the best! My ribeye is always cooked to perfection and the mussels , the tastiest. Thank you so much Alexandru Stefan and Andreea for making our evening a pleasant one! Will return soon.

Awesome food and service, always a pleasure visiting, it’s one of our favourite restaurants, they always make us feel welcome and the atmosphere and food is amazing.

Utterly delicious pizzas from Pinocchio's three authentic delicious pizzas delivered in really good time.... Via delivaroo

Absolutely wonderful see bass special !!

L'italiana has great food, from the pizzas to the pastas, to the amazing homemade tiramisu. We had a great time for my birthday surprise party! The staff were amazing, polite, always smiling at any request and very attentive. :)

Så hyggeligt et sted med god mad og god betjening. Udenfor kunne man slet ikke ane den gode stemning og de smukke lokaler for alle de krukker med høje planter. Lokalt uden pakket med turister.

Loved it, the food and wine was amazing. I had the Muscles Marinara to start and it was really good. Hopefully I will be returning many times. Thank you for a lovely evening.

There were 11 adults and 3 kids. We were immediately made welcome and our needs were met (highchairs). We had preordered food so didn't have to wait long. The set menu was lovely, we all enjoyed our food, Including the kids. The restaurant was at capacity and the staff were kept very busy but still managed to be attentive and frequently asked us if all was ok. We were there a few hours and never felt we were being rushed along. Special thanks to Luca who was helpful with our large booking and kept us up to date along the way. Our evening was just as we had planned. Big thanks to all the staff for their hard work. I would definitely recommend a visit.

We found this restaurant on Google when we were visiting Edinburgh for an overnight stay before flying to Barcelona the next day. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious, we can highly recommend a visit for some great tasty food and very good service!

haven't been for a while as last experience not too good - food and obnoxious female manager. However was delighted to find last Thursday that all seems to have changed. Our waitress (small blonde ) was wonderful. The service and food seemed much improved - we had the sweet potatoe soup with toast and the tagliatelli - both superb. Will return soon

I was there Saturday night for dinner and locally it was the best Italian restaurant I've tried. Amazing food and great service.

Called in for an early dinner, quite busy, friendly staff, extensive menu with 6 specials, we ate monkfish, scampi and veal, well presented, v tasty and large potions. An excellent meal, many thanks.

For our family, eating here is like 'coming home'. The home made food, with fresh ingredients, all cooked from scratch, with great cooking happening in front of you, the emphasis in food (those bright colours of the veg in display!) and the service from the staff is hard to find anywhere! Love La Cucina x

Had a lovely dinner, pizza was great and affordable. Calamari and arancini was good with affogato for afters. £80 for 3 course meal and 2 drinks for 2 great value
