The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Last month we spent 2 nights at the Fire Pit campsite celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday (12 families so we had the whole campsite) - It was AMAZING. Positives: • The layout of the site is perfect for a big group. • There is a massive tent at the back of the field (with front and back doors, oven, indoor firepit, solar power, and a mezzanine floor with a double bed). It was very impressive. • We stayed in one of several bell tents (great size, set up with 4 mattresses / including bedding). There was a trolley cart to help move stuff to and from cars. • There was loads of space for friends who brought their own tents / trailer tents /campervans. • A big Fire Pit is central to the camp, and we sat around it for hours. • Amenities: 3 toilets (I was pleasantly surprised), 1 shower, and a kitchen area (fridge, kettle, sink etc…). • We booked the warehouse for a party on Saturday night. There is a bar (bring your own booze), pool table, dance area / stages, disco ball, big speaker (connects to a phone), and loads of varied seating areas. It was a great space. • We had Wi-Fi in the warehouse (not the camping area). • For the kids: playing / climbing areas and the bus. Whoever came up with the idea of putting an old double decker bus in the middle of a campsite is a genius! They spent hours playing in it. They embraced being outside and exploring the grounds. • A pizza oven is available (we had food delivered but it was great to have a choice). • The camp is designed to be as ecofriendly / sustainable as possible (big positive) • B&P live in the grounds and looked after us well. They were amazing (extra special thanks from me). My only (slightly) negative comment was the wooden bases for our beds. We found them very uncomfortable the first night. So, we removed them and put our mattresses on the tent floor. The second night was much more comfortable. Basically, the camp had everything we need, and we can’t wait to go back. We loved every second of it. Dylan

This is an authentic Italian deli. Roberto and his wife are so friendly and we really enjoyed having a chat with them. The sandwiches were very delicious, freshly made with fresh ingredients. Wanted to get gelato but was too stuffed, the sandwich was quite filling. It’s a small deli with a few table indoors and outdoors. A good selection of deli meats and cheeses. Wines, pasta, and other Italian delicacies you can buy. We will definitely be coming back here and will get the pizza on our next visit. I highly recommend it.

10/10 service! The staff are so so lovely, top up your drinks, can not fault the staff at all. Food was also 10/10. Everything we ordered (and was more than half the menu) did not disappoint. First time trying oysters and they were lovely also. Can’t recommend enough x

Excellent pizzas at Freshwater Bay, eaten by the Travelling Tavern on a sunny evening. Difficult to beat! Great price too. Highly recommended.

Locale grazioso, difficile da trovare perché all interno di un giardino. I piatti un po’ deludenti. Porzioni piccole e prezzi altissimi Nice place, difficult to find because it is inside a garden. The dishes are a little disappointing. Small portions and very high prices

Grandes ingredientes, haciendo buena comida en un gran ambiente. Pequeño y personal, es como si tuvieras un chef invitado preparando la cena en tu propia cocina. Tu comida se prepara frente a tus propios ojos, puedes ver y luego probar cada ingrediente individual en tu comida. De la estufa a la mesa en 10-15 segundos como máximo. Excelentes opciones de vino para su principal.

Website doesn't exist, and no comments since May 2019. Must be shortest lived restaurant ever ! Anyone been there ?

Passavo di lì quando sento profumo di pesce , e non conoscendo il posto sono entrato quella sera in cerca di qualcosa da mangiare. Sono andato via con: una bella porzione di fritture miste di pesce (il pesce spada? Inaspettato) , e un ancora più inaspettato arancino con i gamberetti che .. 5 stelle subito XD

Un sándwich tan delicioso en el corazón de Londres y tan barato. Había una cola y con razón! Vale la pena esperar en la fila y comer uno de los mejores sándwiches de la historia!

Really exceptional vegan food. Very tasty and inventive. You can take your non vegan friends too Amazing tiramisu!! Had to stop myself from licking the plate! The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that I felt the tables are a little too close together so a bit uncomfortable when sitting so close to others, especially if on a date, but it is a small venue to I guess that can’t be helped.

Our first time visiting, friends catching up over lunch with our children. A group of 2 adults and 5 children (mixed ages). We had amazing food, from 2 different stalls - had chicken and tacos. The portion sizes were huge and tasted amazing. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the tables and surrounding areas were clean. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

We had high expectations, based on reviews and word of mouth. We shared an arancini starter then had lasagne and gnocchi, with a green salad, a bottle of still water and a bottle of Soave. The food was OK although the lasagne was lukewarm. The bill for £95 seemed excessive, then we discovered that we had been charged £47 instead of £35 for the wine. Management were very apologetic and immediately refunded the difference. However, even then £83 feels very expensive for what we had, so I don’t think we will be back. An Italian bistrot should be cheap and cheerful. It’s a shame as an authentic Italian restaurant is a great addition to this part of Belfast - but at these prices I’m not sure it will last.

The food is authentic, I had pasta with prawns, asparagus & tomato. The sauce was tasty, with a slight touch of spice, the accompanying salad was large, fresh & splashed with high quality olive oil ... quite underpriced at £2.95. We ordered a bottle of wine and it was not in the fridge so the waiter brought another opened bottle 3/4 full and served t to us without charge. My son had chicken & mushroom tagliatelle, large servings great price (under £10) and excellent quality. Couldn't begin to fit in a dessert after such ample and full flavoured dishes. And if that wasn't good enough, we were given a small Lemoncello free of charge to top off a delightful meal. Highly recommended.

Nunca antes había probado la pizza de masa fermentada, así que estaba un poco escéptico, pero estaba felizmente sorprendido, ¡fue increíble! Los sabores eran fenomenales incluso para una Margherita (aburrida lo sé.) El personal era igual de bueno y obtuvimos mucha comida por nuestro dinero del que nunca te quejas. Esperamos volver!
