The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

The restaurant had only one other customer dining in during our visit. Our starter (calamari) arrived reasonably quickly, rubbery with some small limp salad garnish and a not very pleasant dipping sauce. There followed a 45 to 50 minute wait, while we sat and watched a couple of Uber eats/Just eat bikers came in and collected food for delivery. It was apparent that the business prioritised these orders over preparing ours. Eventually fed up and hungry and having had no apology or explanation for the delay we said we were leaving. Just as we were heading for the door our food left the kitchen. The 2 staff (on a Saturday night) both apologised (too late) and we were offered a discount and no service charge. This was the least they could do as we’d received almost no service. The pizza and pasta were both adequate but nothing special and I’d advise anyone looking for Italian food to go to the excellent Piazza Della Cucina which is only a few doors down. This was a bit of a celebration dinner for us and I was extremely disappointed, but you only discover these things by trying a place out. We won’t be back

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. The Italian lady who served us was so lovely, and the food was really good. The coffee was amazing too.

Mi novia y yo vinimos aquí esta noche en una cita improvisada y nos quedamos impresionados por la comida, el ambiente y el servicio por el personal, a saber, Baz, Kiya y Byron - todos eran estrellas absolutas que nos sirven y nos encantó la comida, sin duda volvería a visitar y recomiendo encarecidamente! Five Stars All Round🌟

Lovely evening at Olea for a private party with family and friends. Could not fault anything. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The atmosphere was perfect. All friends and family sent compliments. I would totally recommend a visit

I absolutely love Greek food and sadly, this was nothing like Greek food. The ambience was quite awkward, the food was substandard and had undoubtedly been reheated in the microwave. I'm sorry to say it, but I'd never come back here and wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Thanks to everybody for a wonderful evening for my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary, a special mention for Kitty who was excellent as always

Real Sfogliatelle and great coffee. What more can you ask. Plenty of other Italian fair, other pastries, sandwiches etc.

We had pre booked as a group of 15 and experienced very poor service. We started to arrive and were left waiting in the entrance for a while before anyone even acknowledged us. During the whole meal we were never asked if we would like drinks and ended up having to keep going up and down to the bar whenever we wanted one. After been seated around an hour, noone had been to take our food order either so we had to stop one of the waiters to ask if we can order. By the time we eventually got our food we’d been sat at the table for an hour and 35 minutes. The food was ok, but one of our orders was wrong. One of our party requested condiments and the waiter was very rude to her, asking what does she mean, saying they are Italian so don’t do condiments - but then brought some mayo to her! When the incorrect order was brought back, the waiter was clearly annoyed and picked up our friends phone and moved it to put the plate down. When we came to pay, they tried to charge me for the wrong item, when me and a friend reiterated what I had, he was rude and actually chucked the receipt. Definitely won’t be coming back! What a waste of time that was! Horrible customer service!

I am a regular and sometimes call in for a quick takeaway. When it’s quiet it can be done in as little as 5 minutes. Very tasty pizza! Maybe one day I’ll eat in!

Came with my family today, service was absolutely amazing and food was really good, our host lost on was very attentive and it’s definitely somewhere where I’ll return

Tea time come super Oil they cook the fish and chips in is disgusting Lots of choices but if they use the same oil as they cook fish and chips in that will spoil the meal totally

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Rosyth .Visited last night with family and granddaughter and couldn't fault it .Spotlessly clean and loved the white tablecloths . First class service and generous portions very varied menu including steak.Too much to choose from and reasonably priced .Free parking on the doorstep and taxi rank nearby . You should give it try .We will definitely be back .

I've been coming to Amici for years now. I find the coffee great, and the service personal and friendly. My chosen spot in Leatherhead.

We visited today as it’s our wedding anniversary. We got married at Draycote several years ago and thought it would be nice to revisit for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary. It was lovely being back there and it evoked happy memories. However, the service wasn’t good. The food itself was pretty good. We were the only ones in the restaurant yet not once did anyone come to ask if everything was ok or if we wanted anything. We had to go and find someone to ask for another drink. For our second cup of tea the milk provided had gone completely off. Leaving large bits of soured milk floating around in the cup. Mentioned this to the waitress and there barely an apology. Didn’t even offer to replace the drink. It was nice for us sentimentally to go back but I really wouldn’t recommend it for anyone else. I’d say go to one of the nicer places around here with a better ambience and better customer service.
