The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Dined in the restaurant a few times and the food has been lovely.just orderd a delivery online and was so disappointed food was cold bland and the parmesan chips were inedible mush £30 wasted won't be ordering again.

Our 2nd visit to this restaurant. Book a table as it is very popular. Delicious home cooked pizzas. Super friendly and efficient service from Irina. Really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed food and service. I had the carbonara and it knocked mine into a cocked hat! Friend has Calzone which I tried and we both loved.

What a fabulous and welcoming family Italian restaurant. Everyone so friendly and helpful. We had the set 2 course menu. Good varied options, big portions, delicious! Didn’t feel service was rushed as can often happen when busy. You can tell they take a pride in what they do. Will definitely be back.

What a lovely little authentic restaurant We booked as it was near to a venue we were attending. All the staff were friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was extremely good, the bolognaise was one of the best we have tasted! The desserts were delicious and the coffees finished off a great dinning experience This restaurant goes above and beyond. It’s lovely to see an independent restaurant thriving in this current climate

We had a lovely meal at Igloo on Saturday. The restaurant was busy with a large party in but the service was still good. I had the goats cheese starter and my son had the sticky chicken. For mains I had the pork bibimbap and my son the pork banh mi burger. Everything was delicious and the portions were a good size.

This has been our third visit over a period of a few years. I remember our first visit was nice, but because the restaurant, believe it or not, had run out of most of the dishes. The second visit was, in part, curtosey of the management for a poor experience. The third visit was enjoyable with quite an extensive menu, and the food was very tasty without being a wow factor.But there is something wrong with the atmosphere at Pesto. The staff were curtious without being enthusiastic, and the use of stone tables makes the eating experience sound like a school dining hall. All clatter and noise.

Great and friendly service by Hanif

Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch with my friends celebrating my birthday. Service was fantastic, atmosphere lovely, food fantastic. Great to have so much choice for the vegetarian/vegans too. I can't believe I haven't visited you before! We will be back.

Lovely restarant, little cool inside, food excellent, service was good, but, we had 6 different people, 5mins apart asking, everything ok...... to much, Would go bk.....

The tiramisu was delicious, but even more important was the homey atmosphere! Georgia and Paul were gracious and welcoming. If I lived here, this would become my go-to spot! Cheers!

Highly recommended for good quality food.

Visited this restaurant last week good meals and service really enjoyed our food thank for your service staff are very helpful

We have been coming here once or twice a year over the last 10 years while on walking weekends, usually on a Sunday night as the end of weekend treat. Our last visit was Sunday 10th November 2024, and the restaurant was full by 7pm. The food is always beautifully cooked and presented, and definitely not your average Italian pizza/lasagne type menu, but good tasty hearty food. It’s normally cold weather when we’re here, so I go generally for a hearty casserole type dish and have never been disappointed by quality or quantity. It’s not cheap, but definitely worth it, and we will keep coming back.

Typical empty place (Saturday night!!) that needs to scam people into ordering something under offer and then try to take as much money as possible. They advertise 2x1 cocktails in massive letters outside then, after ordering, they claim the small print says this and that (tiny text in the menu) and try to charge you double. Rude bartender as well who made the worse possible pina colada (3% of rum, just milk) Clearly a place extremely cheap with their customers. I am also Italian and there is nothing Italian about this place or food. Avoid
