The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

I had a booking for a party of 15. I confirmed the booking with the restaurant two weeks ago. Turned up last night to find it closed. Nothing from the restaurant to say they couldn’t honour my booking. No sign in the window. Nothing. Such a shame as I ate there a couple of months ago and the food was great. I won’t be going back if they reopen

Very nice place , food was tasty. The staff were really friendly. Will definitely be coming here again.

We recently attended a wedding at Oaklands Hall. The staff are excellent here, they go out of their way to ensure you have a great experience. The 3 course meal was delicious and the staff were attentive and brought water when needed, they replenished the wine promptly and cleared everything away in good time. The buffet later on was also lovely, including some yummy chips which a lot of buffets don’t do but were very welcome. The toilets are modern and clean and no issues with lack of paper, nice little basket of toiletries too. The room is a good size and bright. If you were booking a wedding here in the summer you might be put off by the lack of outside space as it’s just the car park but it wasn’t an issue for the wedding we attended. I would say book your function here and you won’t be disappointed. The MC is very friendly and happy to help with any queries.

Booked last minute , they squeezed us in and we were glad they did. Haven't been here for some while but really enjoyed our food, the Ridgeway special was fabulous, so much meat and a lovely dianne sauce. Staff were great even though they had 2 party's going on. Well done and thank you.

Never been really happy with any pizzas in London. Until we went to Rust Bucket! I was prepared to eat another sub-standard pizza but at the first bite of my salsiccia and friareli I realised this was different, this was the real deal! I had to talk to this shining star of a pizzaiolo and signalled him with big thumbs up. When he came closer he told me all about the care and expertise he puts into his pizza masterpieces - the high-quality types of flour and tomato sauce, the long proofing and the main ingredient: his passion for what he does. I can say more but, when food becomes art, words can’t do it justice. A presto!

Eravamo un gruppo di 8 persone. Abbiamo ordinato cose diverse, amche fuori menù e i titolari, una coppia giovane, ci hanno accontentato. Crepes e gelati molto buoni.

Italian restaurants are often disappointing with a long menu of favourites prepared to british palates. Grano offers a short menu of stunning authentic Italian food. The bruschetta was a conversation stopper as it demanded a silence to savour the flavours. Rigatoni was freshly made and cooked perfectly al dente with fiery cacio e pepe sauce elevated further with crispy fried guanciale. Tiramisu and frozen limoncello to finish left us sated and delighted to have found such a gem.

Decidimos comer en el último minuto y no nos decepcionó. Los entrantes eran bolas de haggis, deliciosas. Mi compañero tenía langostinos. Los platos principales habían horneado salmón, absolutamente sensacional, mi compañero tenía ternera que disfrutó muchísimo. Debo agregar que este restaurante te hace sentir bienvenido, Sylvia es muy amable, recomienda los mejores vinos, etc.

Nice ambiance, service very good, foooood we had paninis and sandwich the fillings were very skimpy and I believe they had increased their prices. Not value for money. We have been in before and enjoyed our food. This must have been an off day. Will try it some time in future.

Tried on several occasions to get chicken livers to be told either they don’t have any it sold out as they are popular!aube if they are so popular your orders are not enough as you are missing sales as we order them as a starter then order a main meal. Bit rubbish really tbh

Still the best Italians in the area by far! Never disappointed and the best value for money you can find!

The most authentic Italian pizza I have tasted for a very long time…served with love and pride by a dedicated team. With this recipe you can’t go wrong. Meat feast and garlic bread with cheese exceptional and delizioso.

We love eating at Giancarlos and had our Christmas get together here last night with friends. Fantastic evening and food, as always, was superb. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful meal here. Portion sizes were great. Very reasonably priced. Had a lovely feel to the place. Would definitely recommend
