The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Really enjoyed our meal at Locanda last weekend. Food was hot and very tasty. Relaxed atmosphere and great service from Ben who was attentive without being annoying. will definitely be back.

We are missing you. Good memories in your restaurant with our family. We loved your pizzas, ice creams, coffes , indian dishes. Thanks for your delicious cooking

I went here on a Saturday evening for dinner, it was a very quiet little pub but when my friend called in advanced they told us that we were not able to reserve tables although when we went into the pub there were tables that were reserved. They had also told us we weren’t able to bring dogs but we saw people outside with a dog as well as someone bringing their dog inside. This was a bit strange. Although the pizza here was very nice and I think it was reasonably priced although it was quite a thin pizza. Other than that I think this pub is a nice place if you want to go somewhere quiet and peaceful for dinner or drinks.

Very good Italian restaurant. Everything we ordered was very good. Good Italian dishes and warm atmosphere. The staff welcoming and friendly

The food is good, with most of it being homemade and the staff is friendly. I like the atmosphere, and there's a cute area in the back to eat outside. Come here to not be disappointed.

We discovered the Artisan Corner about a year ago as we were passing through Barnard Castle on the way from Darlington to Southport to visit my parents. We originally chose this cafes it was lose to where we had parked, but we very quickly realised that we had landed on our feet. The food, most of which is home made o site, is amazing and the people there are friendly and welcoming. On our previous visit I had a coronation prawn baked potato and this time, a lamb kofta flatbread. Both were absolutely amazing. My partner usually chooses the ploughman's lunch- which is also excellent. After the man course, (or if you just want a snack) there is a wide selection of home made cakes. Last time we chose a vegan, gluten free chocolate and pistachio cake. I had my doubts about the gluten free, as in my experience gluten free cakes can be dry- but this was so good that we bought the remaining supply to take back for my parents to try! This time we went for warm tarte tartin with ice cream. Another favourite is the French Blue Earl Grey tea with lavender and rose petals. Every meal we have had here has been outstanding, and the shop downstairs also stocks some amazing food and crafts, including stunning flower earrings made by Hannah in the shop. All in all, I really cannot recommend this place highly enough. We always stop here now on the way to Southport- or if we happen to be in Barnard Castle.

We found this spot very accommodating and helpful. I went with a wheelchair user and nothing was too much trouble. Very helpful friendly staff. The restaurant had a lovely calm atmosphere a out it. The food was excellent and the portions generous. A huge menu to choose from. Restaurant was spotlessly clean. We will definitely be back and thank you!

Music was to loud, food took ages to arrive and when arrived it was cold. A male Member of always insulting other people. I will not recommend this to anyone.

Good mains of pasta and pizza but booked a table for 8pm then had to wait until 8.30pm to be seated. Once the food was ordered it came quickly but we then waited from 10pm when Olour plates were cleared until.10.45 pm to be asked if our food was OK or if we wanted desserts but we never were never asked so we got.up and walked to the bar - only then did staff notice us and then asked us to pay the bill - not.experienced such poor customer service in a long time didn't seem to care about the customer experience at all, which is such a shame as the food was good but won't visit this restaurant again as a result of the poor service we received.

Avoid. Solo suelo dejar comentarios cuando tengo una experiencia muy positiva. Pero este lugar es una trampa. Fui con mi pareja en julio de 2024 en una rara noche que ambos podríamos tener una noche de fin de semana libre del trabajo. Nos dijeron que habría una mesa para nosotros en 30 - 45 minutos, y acordamos que íbamos a dar un paseo mientras esperábamos. Un servidor luego nos persiguió por una cuadra por la acera para decir que podíamos sentarnos en el bar mientras esperábamos. Por lo tanto, nosotros (dos hombres tomados de la mano, claramente un par) tomamos asiento, pero nunca conseguimos una mesa en una hora y media de espera, mientras que un número de parejas heterosexuales, tanto reservas y caminar - ins, todos recibieron servicio de mesa. Y tenemos que escuchar conversaciones de los camareros sobre ellos siendo una pareja, preguntas sobre su noche de citas, ofrendas de elementos de menú y maridaje compartibles, etc. Nunca nos dieron la mesa que habíamos acordado esperar. Mientras tanto, tuvimos cócteles caros que eran en su mayoría agua, cena del menú principal (no un menú de bar, lo comprobamos... y también el bar es de solo dos asientos) que está en porciones diminutas. (Tengo 4 o 5 pequeños corazones de alcachofa fritos hasta la muerte con un poco de cohete como una entrada de más de £ 10) , y pasta muy cocida. Me encanta un menú de calidad, degustación de nicho, pero esto no era todo. Y la estimación de precios está muy lejos. Gastamos 70 libras, sin alcohol, en tres platos pequeños y dos cócteles. Comimos tan poco ( y los dos tenemos pequeños apetitos ) que tuve que cocinar una cena completa después cuando llegamos a casa. Y un hombre muy temible simplemente sentado, mirando, y ocasionalmente discutiendo con el frente de la casa. ¿Tal vez un gerente o dueño? Todo el tiempo, no estaba claro a quién pedir para obtener otro plato o para obtener el cheque. No hubo cuidado de tratar de servirnos nuestras cenas al mismo tiempo, a pesar de que lo solicitamos. Esperé más de 20 minutos entre que mi compañero cenara y yo cenara. El camarero y los servidores eran muy amables... me hubiera encantado verlos en otro restaurante con comida decente y mejor gestión. TLDR; No vayas si quieres buena comida y un servicio no intolerante.

The BEST meal of 2023 we’ve had. Honestly just such comforting and delicious food. Friendly service and just homey interior, we are making this such a regular spot!!!! The price is unreal, couldn’t believe it when we got the bill would have happily paid double and not batted an eyelid!! MUST VISIT!!

Increase of price, and was made to pay a £10 ‘table fee’ which I wasn’t told about when I ordered or made my booking on top of it all, how’s the table fee costing more than most things on the menu?? The restaurant next door (which I assume is theirs also) doesn’t do this😭 Seen your reply, and nah that isn’t my receipt. Only had one shisha and just a can of redbull😂went from £22 to £32 because of the table fee, we was given a table near the doors, we did ask if we could have a different table but wasn’t given it!

We booked for the steak evening and we were not disappointed. A hidden gem of a place and definitely worth a visit. The food was faultless and the steak cooked to perfection. The dessert was stunning too. The staff attentive and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Locale carino ma nulla di che! Le pizze al taglio sembrano precotte e con gli ingredienti freschi messi sopra e poi cucinano le pizze al momento. L’aspetto non è molto invitante, ma devo dire che erano buone! Personale cordiale!
