The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Tiramisu to die for! Pasta mains are on the small side- a few of us left hungry…. But the food was tasty.

La Caverna has always been my "go to" restaurant and I like it because it's been the same for 40 years! Decent food, reasonably priced and a homely atmosphere

Noisy. Lasagne was more tomato sauce than actual lasagne I was physically sick a couple of hours after getting back to the house. Must have been the sauce cause I ate most of mine whereas other party who had lasagne left most of sauce. Pizza OK. Tiramasu OK. Didn't stay for coffee because of noise. Wine expensive. Any expensive and disappointing night out for a birthday treat. Won't be back in a hurry.

Relaxing atmosphere, large selection of delicious food...fish, or meat grills, pasta or pizza, Always very enjoyable experience

Food and service first class. Only down side is that we came in and wasn't italian music, (was like the waiters had their own playlist on) had to suggest frank sinatra. Ended up with his Xmas songs. Would definitely go again but needs better atmosphere.

Feet stuck to the floor as you walked in, die of thirst waiting for a drink at the sticky bar, and there’s been buckets in the middle of the floor catching drips from the ceiling for months and months. Only went for the ‘Day disco’ advertised but that was also a big letdown - didn’t even have the lights down…..oh and the hospitality’ of the management certainly leaves a lot be desired.

We came with friends in March, a large booking of 15 for a meal. We arrived promptly at 7.30 but our food didn’t come out until just after 9pm. Whilst I appreciate we were a large group, 9pm isn’t satisfactory. The waiter was lovely and clearly the issue wasn’t with him but I question why they take large bookings if you can’t accommodate a reasonable time frame for serving large parties. If I’m honest I won’t recommend or return. I wanted to feedback as clearly this is something the restaurant needs to review and improve on

Easily the best pizza in Bolton by a mile. Not your standard pizza at all. You know the ones, tastes like sugar and identical to everywhere else. Well that's not the the case here . Really high quality tastes like it was made from scratch.

Run by a lovely lady. The fish stew is great. Best tiramisu in the area too.

I have a chicken vindaloo every time I visit it an Indian restaurant and this was the worst I’ve had in a longtime. It was hard to eat the chicken as it was extremely chewy also there was very little sauce with the curry. This restaurant is very poor and does not live up to its reviews!

Great restaurant, lovely food, nice and hot, lots of staff, would recommend booking, as it gets very busy. Will be going again. Parking can be a problem, but drvve around you will find a spot.

Really nice experience with spectacular food and coffee with friendly young staff 10/10 experience we will visit again and would highly recommend to others

I have been away for too long. My visit this evening reminded me of the environment,the first class service and,as always the best steak in the country.Always a pleasurable experience with Massimo and his team.Thanks to you all,as ever.Ray Campsie

What a wonderful host Massimo is, he always gives you such a warm welcome and what a talented team he has front of house and in the kitchen. We were four generations at the table and the menu caters for each age group. It was hard to get past the delicious warm homemade bread with olive oil and rosemary but three baskets later we did! Fabulous food, best pasta eaten almost in silence, an extensive wine list, stylish decor, real linen and great stories too -we can’t wait to return! Thank you xx

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere very cosy and authentic. Varied menu and the food is fresh and pleasing to the eye. The service isn’t fast but it is waiting for, would highly recommended.
