The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Mama's Way provided catering for a party at our home in May. We asked for a vegetarian menu, which they delivered and helped set up to serve. The food was wonderful, with compliments from our guests, including Italians. We have had good takeaways from them, but this food exceeded our expectations. We will use them again!

Been here multiple times and always have a good experience. Took my mum last time and she is half Italian and loves cooking. She rated the food highly which isn’t often with Italian restaurants. I always find the staff wonderful. Recent refurbishment since I last came and last visited and liked the improvement.

We had a lovely meal, deep fried arancini, followed by fantastic pizza cooked by Stef. Great thin crust and tasty topping. Didi is very friendly and welcoming. Good value for money.

Gone downhill very rapidly, no wonder there always empty now. Brought couple burgers, tasted bland and tasteless. Found a staple (yes the ones they use to staple there paper bags and receipt on too). Called to let them know to be extra vigilant (stated didn't want anything, just letting you know). Had an extremely rude staff (guessing one of those cleaners) tell me its not possible and then cut the line. How can it not be possible when you clearly staple the bags in the same area you're cooking the food. Can't see the business last long, better quality of food around the area

Great food and service. We have been 4 or 5 times for the Sunday platter - a fabulous choice of 3 different, locally sourced meats, a great selection of veg with a Mediterranean twist, Yorkshire pud and a delicious jus. Every time we come away saying it’s the best Sunday roast around at a very reasonable price. The young front of house team are lovely and attentive. We have also had their evening a la carte menu on previous visits which again is always fab. Definitely worth the drive out to.

When we arrived there was no one in the restaurant. A few minutes after we arrived someone the waitress knew arrived and got priority. I did not mind them being served before us but I did object to waiting 15 minutes for my change while the waitress had a conversation with the people she knew. I told her that was not acceptable and she said sorry I got involved in a conversation, when I said that is fine but you could have given me my change first, her response was I am on my own, my response was you had ;2 couples and you favoured the other one. I have eaten there on many occasions and never experienced such poor service so maybe there is a training issue here.

Extremely unhelpful staff. Ordered Foccicia and turned up at their shop to collect it, but they had moved location to a completely different town miles away, without updating this online. A wasted journey from Cheltenham. So, I decided to give them another chance the following week. Made numerous phone calls to order it but nobody answered. I was never told i could have ordered it online, I was told to call. So I sent a text to ensure it was ordered. When I turned up they had no foccacia as they said they were short of staff, yet we saw numerous staff. Then they said they had a powercut the previous day. Yet I saw them taking freshly cooked trays out the oven when we were there. Being from Sicily we were really looking forward to taking our friends for there for lunch, yet as they had no lunch food left apart from cakes, we ended up eating a tesco sandwich. unprofessional to have their details out of date online and the way the manager dealt with us was really disappointing. The other server had no idea of customer service and was clueless about how to treat customers. Her attitude was terrible. When we asked for a menu we were told to just look at the couner and we can see for ourselves. We spoke with the sicilian chef before, and he was a great guy so we wanted to support his business. His staff are letting him down.

Large selection of very tasty Ice-creams. Not bad price's. Very recommended. Definitely will come back to this lovely place

Aunque la señalización aún está activa, Tomatinos ahora es parte del bar de tapas de al lado. Extremadamente confusas, puertas separadas, pero cuando te acercas a lo que se anuncia como Tomatinos, dice ¡entra por la otra puerta, que es el restaurante de tapas! Una vez dentro te dan 2 menús. Uno es pizza y otro tapas. Servicio lento y confuso, pedimos vino pero no lo tenían, ya que parece que no están reordenando nada en el menú de bebidas de Tomatinos, sino usando el caldo de las tapas. Todo fue un poco impredecible. El horno de leña para pizzas está en el lado ahora vacío del restaurante, así que nos decepcionó. Cuando llegaron las pizzas, sorprendentemente rápido teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que nos llevó tomar nuestro pedido y que llegara el vino, estaban muy buenas. Base fina y crujiente, mi tipo favorito y muy generosamente rematado. Se sentía caótico, pero ahora sabemos qué esperar, volveríamos ya que las pizzas estaban buenas.

Thee Lucifer Sams are a hungry band and we take our epicurean adventures seriously. When a rehearsal gets cancelled for whatever reasons, we need to substitute that with food and drink. Though Al Dente has a pleasant vibe and friendly staff, our choice of food was very disappointing - a veggie pizza that looked no better than a Ristorante one you find in freezers all over the land - from the most drab cornershop to the biggest Tesco. We were hungry. We ate it. But a restaurant could and should offer something better!

The food was amazing no doubt but the service was awful! The waitress took the drinks order and came back twice and still needed to check. I waited a further 15 minutes for my drink. We then waited almost 30 minutes for the staff to come back and take our order. We were told that there was no pita bread, my frown ordered a diet lemonade only to be told later it wasn’t diet after drinking. The margarita had something fizzy in and didn’t taste like a margarita, but having waited ages for. Like I said the food was lovely. We were still eating our starters when they bright the mains out but the table hadn’t been cleared so had to fumble around to make room. Then had to wait for new cutlery. We wanted to order coffees at the end it to be told that there was none. The waiter brought over Tequila shots as an apology for the coffee but there was no lime or salt to go with the shots. Again the food in general was amazing but there was a huge lack of organisation.No loo roll in the loo and it wasn’t busy so we didn’t really get why the service was long it was.

Very friendly and service minded staff. Not to many vegan food options, but staff prepared to make things and get you food options. Great place for meeting locals and creatives and love the exhibitions they support. Near the Finnish and Norwegian churches in London.

What a gem! Having driven by this place a number of times, I finally had an opportunity to pop in this Saturday afternoon. A friendly, welcoming place full of happy dogs, happy people and tasty home cooked food.

Three of us turned up om a saturday evening without a booking. The restaurant was very busy but they made us very welcome. After a short wait when coffee had been served to us a table was made available. Food order taken. More drinks and the most amazing food. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We have been several times since and will continue. There is no parking but there are car parks in the vicinity

Although name has changed, this bakery is perfect for some 'start your day' brekky! From pastries to fry ups this bakery has it all..and whilst your there you can buy lunch too from different pasta choices to rolls with numerous fillings to choose from!
