The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Booked for my wife's 40th Birthday meal for a group of 10 people as it has been our fav restaurant for a number of years. We turned up and the restaurant was closed. Fuming is an understatement. Luckily the restaurant (Aegean) across the road cut fit us in and saved the night with a nice meal. Massively disappointing that what was a very good restaurant is now being run like this and has put a stain on the night.

Best Bread Ever!!! Great Food, lovely service, stuffed! 5*

Chicken is good. Pizza is below average. Ordered the chilli pork pizza and they gave me the duck one. Overpriced pints as well. Selling tiger as Heineken.

Excelente servicio durante toda nuestra visita de principio a fin. Comida muy buena calidad, porciones abundantes y el personal muy atento y amable. ¡Esperamos nuestra próxima visita!

Good food at a reasonable price.

So ordered my 1st from Fireaway in Mastrick and got to say was AMAZING. Base perfect, toppings plentyful and overall so tasty..Arrived quick and was hot. I like base thin and that's how I got it. Will be my 1st choice from now. Give it a try, I think youll be quietly surprised, oh and if you make your own, can name it aswell. Lol 10/10

Absolutely stunning Food Place Fab longtime staff Speaks for it self Been a couple of times Beef Stroganoff 🤩

Was disappointed for our night out on a Saturday First we had to ask can we order some drinks Food was ok but the pasta dish I had which was chicken and chorizo it was hunt the chicken very minute pieces in the dish the Seabass had very little on the plate and expensive for what it was. Ordered a bottle of wine for the table which came unopened and we had to ask the girl can we have it opened then brought us a cork screw for just to do it till we said please open it for us. No atmosphere and only 3 tables had dinners on them

Went for dinner, we both had the risotto, I had the gorgonzola risotto which was amazing and my friend had the salmon and prawn. A lovely glass of white wine, which was served well chilled and was a very nice wine. Very helpful and friendly staff. We went early doors, but the restaurant soon filled up, and had a great atmosphere.

First time here, very nice surroundings and furnishings and welcoming greeting. Cannot fault anything, varied menu plus specials of the day also every dish marked for gluten free, dairy free & vegan. My wife is gluten and lactose free and it was no problem navigating the menu. Food freshly cooked and beautifully presented and full of flavour, one of the best meals we have had. Very reasonable prices combined with great food and service is a winning combination, long may it succeed.

Arigo was our Go Go Local when we lived in EK. What a friendly atmosphere and really good food. Always listen to the specials. ☺️

Incredible food! I had the king prawn starter and the duck main, everything was super yummy and the service was fantastic!

Disappointed. Children’s pizzas were ok but the rest was disappointing. Bruschetta was little more than cold hard bread with toasted cheese and mushrooms on it. Portions were small and not very authentic. Soup was unimaginative. Then when the bill came it added an automatic 10% service charge and under the total it said ‘service charge not included’. Seems like a scam…

Este solía ser uno de nuestros restaurantes más preciados cuando estaba bajo la anterior administración! Estuvo cerrado durante mucho tiempo y fue tomado el pasado octubre por un "caballero" sin encanto que no tiene idea de cómo tratar a su clientela. Esta fue nuestra tercera salida desde que el restaurante fue tomado, ya que quería darles una oportunidad y tenía la esperanza de que la comida y el servicio mejoraran. La comida era absolutamente nefasta (de mal gusto y sobre salada) y el servicio: sin encanto y muy grosero. ¡No volveremos y predigo que este lugar no sobrevivirá!

Great traditional Italian with a real character of an owner, I would certainly recommend a visit.
