The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Arrived at 11.45 for a cuppa and a scone and took my place to order 2nd in the queue. There was a lady before me who had been waiting some considerable time. She asked me if she was invisible as not one member of staff had acknowledged her even though a lady was making drinks and clearly saw us waiting. Finally, after a further 20 mins our orders were taken by a surly young girl who's attitude I found very rude. So when my scones were thrust at me on 2 plates...no tray... I asked about my hot drinks, I was informed very rudely that they would be put on a table for me to collect. I asked about a tray but just got a withering look! So, my review is not based on the venue or the food which we ok I suppose but on the attitude of the staff. From being ignored to being treated very rudely. So this review is constructive criticism to please train your staff to be more customer friendly!

disappointing- having had recommendation long wanted to visit but.. while some dishes were tasty the food was not of consistent quality, portions were on small side for price, food did not arrive together for a party of six so done finished before others began, service was very patchy and overall the place felt a little chilly and tired. Stroud Green alternatives offer much more attentive service, cozier brighter atmosphere and better value.

We tried the restaurant for lunch and were not disappointed. The food was good and the staff was very nice and friendly. Great coffee and free limoncello.

Ottima e vera cucina italiana, abbiamo mangiato benissimo, alta qualità. Ettore è un bravo padrone di casa ed il servizio è eccellente, torneremo sicuramente

Fabulous place for a relaxed lunch. An authentic family run restaurant adhering to very high standards. Superb and authentic Italian food, fabulous service and a warm convivial atmosphere. If you are in the Scottish Borders, very highly recommended.

I loved this place, always visited when we stayed at the Cresta Court airport hotel down the road. Always a friendly welcome, fabulous food, incredible cocktails. We were so sad to turn up and find it closed. I've recommended this to lots of my friends. I hope it will re-open one day as it was really missed on our last visit

Delicious Italian dishes and desserts. The seafood risotto I had was wonderful. Very friendly staff. Great ambience.

Reservamos esto para una puesta al día con amigos y tuvimos un tiempo encantador. Las porciones son quizás un poco más pequeñas, pero esto te da espacio para comer los postres, que son increíbles. El servicio era amable y relajado - también a diferencia de tantos lugares en Londres, fuimos capaces de mantener nuestra mesa durante más de 3 horas - esto era un verdadero placer para no ser apresurado o molestado. La carta de vinos era genial también.

Both the food and service were excellent. From initially walking in we were made to feel very welcome. The choice of menu was very good and the staff took the time to give recommendations.

The food never fails to disappoint at Oliver’s. I love the pizzas which have a great base with a variety of different toppings. Will be back again!

Heerlijk eten, vriendelijke en behulpzame medewerkers, schone omgeving. Niks op aan te merken dus en zeker de moeite waard.

Today 10/8/2024 we were on our way to Mablethorpe to enjoy a family holiday and some time out after my husband sadly losing his beloved grandma 4 weeks prior. We unfortunately broke down just outside of Lincoln, luckily we were fixed by the AA back on the road within a couple of hours. Great we thought! not 32 miles later the car breaks down AGAIN! Luckily for us, just outside the lovely Bambarinos Italian restaurant! What was an extremely stressful day was made to feel a little bit easier by the kind and generous people here! Giving myself and hubby tea and coffee and my children pizza and chips free of charge. Thank you so much, it’s nice to know there’s still kind and genuine people in the world. Your kindness meant so much today. Cheryl & Dean Willis

Amazing coffee and homemade lemon &almond tart! Amazing place with a great atmosphere and music👌 You may feel like in your Italian grandparents house by so lovely 😍 I heard that pizza here is one of the best 👌 Owner is from Sardine 👌🙂

Take away treat for football. Exceptional from ordering online, delivery & value for money. Highly recommend & we eat in too. Bannoffe is the best...

Came across by chance and so glad we went in. Delicious reasonably priced Italian classics, and welcoming ambience and friendly staff.
