The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Wow! Now under new management and what a wonderful difference. Really fresh food so tasty and Aunt Jackie’s lemon cheesecake was to die for. Would highly recommend

Incredible food and great staff

Great food with a balanced and attentive service.

Friendly staff, "warm" place not only for the temperature, but welcoming, good choice of wine, for being in England and not in a very expensive place. I was at ease.

Shut & doesn’t look like the pictures so no idea what it’s like. Suggest you drive by before deciding as I cannot say it’s still in business

Very nice place, came for a family meal the food was really nice, good service, staff very friendly and polite, everything was on point

We booked lunch at Leonardos for my mums birthday treat. She is a fairly fussy eater but we felt the lunch menu offered a great selection. The food and service were excellent , would recommend pollo Pepe and the chicken Milanese followed by the sticky toffee pudding . Wine by the glass is very reasonable priced . Have been here on a few other occasions recently and the experience has been consistently good and offers excellent value for money. Tucked up a side street a wee bit out of the way in Hamilton ,but very much worth a visit , we will definitely be back soon .

We’ve been loyal customer of Villa Romana since it first opened in the 90s. Always consistently good - buzzing with energy, great food, and staff who made you feel genuinely welcome. Sadly, our recent visit left us disheartened. The staff, who once seemed attentive and enthusiastic, now come across as disinterested and inattentive. During our latest meal, Sunday 13th October, the service felt rushed, with little eye contact or engagement. It was almost as if they were doing us a favour by serving us. We waited an hour to be asked about desserts, and eventually gave up. In that hour we watched staff stand chatting to each other and three waitresses push napkins and glasses around an empty table. It’s such a shame to see how much the place has declined. The food was still decent, but without the warm atmosphere and attentive service it used to be known for, the experience felt hollow. We won’t be returning anytime soon, which is disappointing after so many years of good service and food.

We made a reservation a couple of months ago for 7pm last night. We confirmed that reservation just a few days ago. We showed up there last night on time, only to find the place was closed. There was no note on the door. We called their phone number. No answer, so we left a message. We e-mailed. No reply. There posted hours say they open at 6pm on Thursdays, so we knew something was wrong. We waited 15 minutes for someone to show up or call back, then were forced to find somewhere else to eat. As of this moment, the restaurant has yet to get back to me to explain what happened.

Really love this place same every time fantastic staff are outstanding and food is out of this work I keep going here as the business is having a hard time due to temporary works and no parking people choose to to go places more convenient I would just like to add that I did have to park out the way due to parking circumstances but I would also like to say that the many grateful food places I walked bye this was worth the walk cracking little place and I hope people read this and take my advice to go the extra mile in support of a local business you won’t be let down guys

This was my first visit here, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saturday night dinner for 2. Starters were lovely, lasagne was nice but pizza not appetising at all. We did not eat pizza & the staff were aware but it still appeared on the bill. The manager took it off the bill at our request but his customer service advice was next time you come, don’t order the pizza. Next time ……?!!

Having been here many times since it first opened I couldn’t believe how bad it has become. No penne pasta in an Italian restaurant and cold raw egg in carbonara. Staff attitude was poor and finally 10% service charge was actually 20% and when this was pointed out there was no apology. Although there were three children we were not offered childrens menus. Nearly booked a big birthday for 20 people but changed my mind. So sad to watch a restaurant go downhill like this

Have dined here on more than one occasion and it's been satisfactory but with the odd hitch. Last year, the dish ordered was available and later the server returned to say it was not available - this can happen and it's not the end of the world. Last month, I ordered the lasagne and whilst well cooked it had a peculiar acidic taste which I assumed was a citrus "twist" and speciality of the house. Afterwards, however, noticed quite a lot of digestion discomfort. Am left uncertain as to a future visit. Staff were helpful and friendly.

We visited the restaurant for my daughter’s birthday. We were greeted with a warm welcome and my daughter was seated with her friends. The staff were very attentive and friendly. They really made an effort to make the meal special. The food was fabulous. We will definitely return.
