The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food was fresh and well presented. Good value. All the staff were kind and helpful. The owner was very chatty and answered all our questions regarding the cycle racing memorabilia.

A family-owned Italian restaurant with a service in the style of McDonalds. Often quicker to turn over a table than to serve the ones already there. Two chefs at peak time on a Saturday night putting one dish through the pass at any one time. Loud groups of people and cramped back to back seating. Needs some work.

This is our third visit to Amaro and yet again we were not disappointed. The menu is excellent and staff are brilliant. They cater to my daughter's gluten free needs and their gluten free garlic bread is particularly tasty. We will always return here for a meal, never disappoint

Excellent service ,staff very helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding. especially the special menu. Everyone else had a wonderful time , we will be back.

Friendly staff and service is usually pretty quick. The pate starter is always good and the pizza and pasta portions are big. Good value for money. Will be back again soon

Went for lunch recently with a friend. Excellent meal . Lovely atmosphere. We were made very welcome by Vito. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Ate here while on a short trip in London. Food was of a decent standard and the upstairs surroundings pleasant. HOWEVER if they try to seat you in the basement, refuse. We were put there because it was busy. It is a souless pit. The floor is uneven so your tables constantly wobble. The music revererates around the walls and being away from the main part of the restaurant, the service is far less attentive. Worst of all, it stinks of paint. I assume this is a recent thing and hopefully temporary. Whoever decorated it has done an ambush makeover, even painting over the light-switches and sockets. A few items of cheap tat were arranged in an attempt to look rustic. It felt like a pop up restaurant challenge from The Apprentice. The paint fumes genuinely made me feel dizzy and the area is poorly ventilated. I had concerns about my young son who was with me (the restaurant also does not have a childrens menu and refused to do child portions). I asked to move a second time and did eventually get a seat upstairs thankfully. They need to wait till the paint fumes are gone or else someone is going to faint down there.

After having waited to go for so long, I was a bit disappointed with the food. It is all very good but pretty much aligned with every other Italian restaurant. Still a shame if it closes - the atmosphere is great

Wonderful restaurant. I enjoyed the dinner very much. The seafood risotto was wonderfully prepared. Tasty risotto with succulent mussels and tasty shrimp. The tiramisu finished my dinner with a balanced sweetness.

Below average restaurant, Below average food and the manager is rude and obnoxious with no people skills and no idea how to run a business. A positive though is the other waiting staff who were lovely but who seemed scared by the managers bossiness. Such a shame. Needs a new manager to make this place more personable and improve the food.

First visit and will be returning. Warm welcome from the host on arrival. Starters & Mains were awesome. Served by Callum who was fantastic all night. Thank you guys!

Food was brilliant. The menus were varied and included vegetarian and vegan options. Staff were excellent and service was quick.

Lovely food and service. We all (8) enjoyed the sharing platter to start, the meats were delicious, then we had steaks or pasta all of which were excellent,

Food always good. Love their offers and staff efficient and helpful.

Lovely food, nice pub. Limited on drinks - only bitter was IPA, only rose fizz, no light ale
