The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Hendrix boasts an exciting fusion of Italian and Mexican cuisine and vibrant cocktails; the best of both worlds! I booked a table to celebrate my partner’s 19th birthday and from start to end, everything was immaculate. We had three members of staff looking after us, namely Bronagh, Jack, and Chloe. We started off with some breads and the Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings which were exceptional and bursting with flavour. The main courses impressed us even more. The Double Chorizo burger was fantastic and my partner really enjoyed her Nduja Penne pasta. We had sides of the Cholula Fries and the Patatas Bravas. Everything was first class! Hendrix facilitates a cosy interior and the open kitchen setting of the restaurant really provided a thrilling theatre for us, something that is often overlooked by many restaurants. After dinner the staff brought out my partners birthday cake with a sparkler candle and music. This was a really special touch for us and made the night stand out for her. While on the topic of service, It should be said that we were so well looked after by the aforementioned staff. Our water glasses were topped up, glasses cleared and new cutlery replaced promptly after each course. Staff were so attentive and friendly, a perfect example of what restaurant service should be like. I can’t thank the staff at Hendrix enough for making this occasion that extra bit special. We’ve definitely discovered a new favourite spot and we will certainly be back, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Was lovely sat in the sun with a pizza,cheesy garlic bread and a drink and the area where you sit was just so good. The pizza was delicious and had so much flavour and the coffee at Pizzalogica was made perfectly.

I use a powerchair and double checked that they had a ramp before going - when it was patisserie valerie, they had a sturdy wooden ramp for people who needed it so i thought it would be this one. I was very disappointed as it was a thick rubber mat which i would definitely not call a ramp! The owner then came over and brought two square wooden boards which raised the height some more and i managed to enter the cafe. I found the staff were so lovely, did whatever they could to help me - had a table booked with plenty of space & moved chairs out of the way for me. I personally wouldn't rate the food but that could be because of what i chose (£5.50 for 1 large-ish arrancini...). Food was served quick and hot which was good - my friend had chips which i stole a few and i will admit, were pretty good. Sometimes i wonder about places that have huge menu's, how can they make sure quality is always amazing when you have a burger to pasta to a japanese breakfast to spanish food etc... I'd like to try something of the dessert counter next time and please, i really am suggesting on behalf of anybody with mobility issues/buggies, please invest in a proper metal ramp. It will be so appreciated i can promise you that.

Stopped for a snack and coffee. Staff helpful but food offering limited in the "to go" section. Sandwiches not to my liking so just had a coffee, wife and son had a sandwich which was okay and for such a location reasonably priced. There is a restaurant attached but does not allow dogs. If they did allow dogs instead of the £21 spent would have happily and easily spent over £50. I appreciate that company/council policy's make the no dogs policy but I would suggest that the area outside between the patio doors and barrier have ample space for 4 or 5 tables and would prove your turnover.

I heard about this bakery from TikTok food bloggers. However, the experience was not good. I got a hot chocolate, a pastel de nata, and a cinnamon swirl. The hot chocolate was the tiniest hot chocolate I’ve ever been served. Like minuscule. Tre pastel de nata pastry was really hard and there was way too much custard in it. Sickly sweet and cloying. Also, the top was over torched and just burned. The cinnamon swirl, I’m not even going to start. Just no. I hate food waste and I still dumped it after two bites.

Delicious fresh pizza, and offer home delivery, but quite expensive. The make your own is quite good value. Usually quick delivery. Quite traditional, thin crust, nice tomato sauce and not swimming in oily cheese. Just the right balance

We went here with our friends from Stockton Heath. The food was really lovely and a great atmosphere. We were waited on by Anna who was very knowledgable about the food and the wines. She was also very friendly and smiley 😊

We have been to 2 Beeches Avenue several times and have always had a great experience. Whether it has been for the wonderful choice of freshly made food or just a coffee (or glass of wine), we have never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and in the sunshine, the tables outside are a wonderful place to sit.

WOW!!! It was an amazing evening for me and my friends!!! 😍 I had clear the smoke cocktail and it was delicious!!! The Italian Professional Vincenzo was Super Friendly,Very Attentive Man!!! Thank you Team,Guys,you are doing an amazing job!!! Def we'll be back❤ From Iry&Co with love)

We had a good bottle of Barolo red wine, interesting starters, large main courses, mine was chicken with mushroom sauce. The highlight was the delicious desserts, chcolate tiramisu and a cheesecake with a crunchy topping.

Fantastic food. The missus thinks it’s the BEST PIZZA she’s ever had 1 and we’ve been to Italy! The seasonal salmon focaccia was INCREDIBLE! Our waiter Francesco was incredibly helpful and really insightful with our food and wine choices! Couldn’t recommend more highly - WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK!

Advertised as Fish Finger and Tartar Sauce Panini which sounded good but what was served was extremely poor. Poor quality fish finger with grey fish, cheap panini, limp salad with low cost tasteless frozen chips. I wouldnt serve that meal to a child never mind ask for money for it! To add further insult 2 x fish panini meal, tea & a water cost just short of £26.00 which is absolutely shocking! Definitely won’t be returning

I was very pleased with my meal at pitchers on the 25/09/2018. I had Ribeye steak cooked medium rare, it was tender with lots of flavour. I had a side portion of chips and salad with Mayo and ketchup. The food is very well priced and would recommend for anyone wanting to try out something new try pitchers. The staff are welcoming.

Paper thin pizza and sadly now, always burnt as opposed to well fired. Marinara tastes good but flavourless dough, consistency and service going downhill rapidly. Wait times increasingly bad too.

Great range of food,catering for all needs, for a small place. Very reasonably priced. Clean. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Husband and wife team. Don't be disappointed. Go there next time you're about Smithfield. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
