The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

The place has closed down, don't waste your time like I did😒

I had the Malanese loaded fries, they were perfect. Lovely place Staff were really helpful and friendly.

Really excellent food and service 😍 lovely atmosphere, so welcoming. Food was delicious - and great to have a chat with the lovely guy (think the owner?) over which wine to order - fantastic place - definitely be returning! Thank you 🍷

Just ordered within 40 minutes of closing when we’re 5 minutes away and order got cancelled 10 mins before they close.

Food was delicious, atmosphere was great and Adnan’s service was outstanding. He is an asset to your company.

Jennifer was amazing!! Lovely service & atmosphere x

Bronea was very pleasant and helpful

So personally I absolutely LOVE pizza express. In my opinion it is illegal to not get dough balls and the garlic butter is just exquisite. Then my go to is always the classic margarita which is very good but sometimes It’s good to switch it up with incredible pasta. For dessert I would definitely suggest a brownie with amazing vanilla ice cream. For my drink I usually go for anything but recently I found that they have great mocktails, juices and smoothies so definitely try one of them and if you are bringing a child make sure to give them a hat that is free. Elspeth's review is much better than jasmines(pls tell if you’d rather hear from me instead of the likes of her : well let me start of saying an underrated hero served at pizza express is the beautiful breadcrumbed calamari served with lemon ( and if your clever also get the dough balls so u can have it with the garlic butter) same as jasmine the margarita is the order I tend to choose because it’s simple yet perfect. I tend to just get ice cream for dessert and always a appletize for the drink .

Gorgeous proper Italian food Much better than chains like ASK Great staff who were attentive and friendly Great gluten free selection

Delicious food. Lovely ambience. Staff were delightful. Felt so cosy and friendly. Proper neighbourhood restaurant. Loved it.

Amazing pizza very light and full of filling would go again great value 2-4-1

As always, had a fantastic meal in a wonderful restaurant. Can't wait to visit again soon. On a sidenote, we'll done to the young waitress tonight who was on her 1st ever shift. She was so polite and helpful!

Just ordered a Margherita pizza. All I got was a bit of dough, sauce and cheddar cheese. When I asked where the Mozzarella cheese on the pizza they tried to make me believe that the yellow cheese put on the pizza was fresh mozzarella. I just paid £6.99 for this what a joke. I spend £30-50 a week at this place never again. You have lost my custom.

The experience is second to none. The food is awesome.. and well priced... I have lived in Mistley Manningtree since 2006 and always used this beautiful venue, i have never had a bad time there, so long may that continue... When Andy Dean was manager, 6/7 years ago, he made me a VIP customer.. lol.. RIP Andy Dean 🙏🏿

amazing service lovely workers amazing environment
