The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Food was fantastic. Don't go when the football is on if you want a quiet meal.

Pleasant outside terrace, lovely staff, really delicious food. Great place for a summer afternoon but can get hot if not under shade.

This food was good & different, a lot of veg and non-veg options on the menu. Tasty food, just the right amount of spices, exactly the way we wanted. Great ambiance and clean restaurant. Mo was our server and he attended us well. Will visit again!

This is not a very big place and they only seem to have one sitting. They opened at 6 and we were booked in for 6:30. Every table was full but it wasn't too noisy and there was some background music but it wasn't too loud. We all really enjoyed our food and had a lovely evening. Our waitress was really good too, although she kept telling us that she didn't work there any more she had just been called in to help out. Parking nearby wasn't easy, but that's not the fault of the restaurant. My only complaint is that I was sat on a bench seat and it wasn't very comfortable. It was ok after I folded my coat and sat on that though. I let my wife and my sister sit on the chairs opposite and they didn't have any complaints about their seats.

Booked table for 8 Food was excellent and staff were amazing would highly recommend this restaurant. P.s prices were also very reasonable.

We have been coming to Dante restaurant for over 15 years and the service and food are amazing. We started coming before we had children and we have continued to bring our children regularly to this restaurant over the years and they have loved it every time. The staff are friendly and always go out of their way to make the kids happy. Vickie

We walked into this place which was practically empty and asked for a table for three. They asked if we had a booking. We said no. They consulted with each other and said ok you can have this table but you have to leave at 7:15 it was 6:20 they told us we couldn’t have starters because they had no electricity. I don’t know why you need electricity for olives cheese and cold meat? I don’t think they Really wanted us there.We decided to leave because we didn’t feel welcome and we didn’t want to have to rush our food before they wanted us out. We went to another restaurant where the customer service was amazing and left after paying a bill of £200. We walked past this place just after eight and the table they wanted us to leave at 7:15 was still empty 🤷‍♀️ We certainly won’t be back and they must be doing really well if they can afford to treat people like that.

Pizzas from the art, delicious.

Always good everything there. Friendly service, great food, coffee and wonderful ambience every visit. Meet lovely regulars often

So, the drinks were nice, my friends got shisha, I didn't and they said it's nice as well. However, why the one star? Because if you enter this you are greeted with not only very rude people, but they take your ID and photograph it on the laptop. I get that they serve alcohol and they need to check for ID, check, but don't take a photo of it! This has always been a concern for me and my friends. So, my genuine advice for Hukka lounge: just do some training for your staff to be less rude and more professional, and make sure whoever is at the door to only check and not to take a photo of any IDs. Otherwise the place is good. Thanks

Loved the food although a bit pricey. The service was very good but there was no atmosphere however I would recommend and would go again.

Oh my goodness what an amazing find! Lunchtime - lasagna was simply divine! Meatballs - delicious! Food piping hot and the taste was just the best! Didn’t want the dish to end as so delicious. Definitely recommend and will be returning! Coffee also very nice!

Went here as a final meal of our holiday. We have eaten all over the world and we have to say that our meal this evening was out of this world. The flavours were simply glorious. The service was brilliant as well. Italian food doesn’t get better than this. Thank you for making our evening wonderful !!!

I visited with my sister last Friday. The food was very overpriced for the execution. Mushrooms on a wedge of bread, mushrooms has no seasoning at all. I then had the ribeye steak which was saturated in salt, I tried to continue eating this but physically felt sick after 1/4. This came with a mushroom which was rubbery and unseasoned undercooked fries. I ordered 2 oysters and 3 arrived at the table. We were sat right next to the kitchen window and the chef then creepily said the extra one is from me…… when asked how my meal was I didn’t feel comfortable being honest with the chef right there. As we were leaving a table behind us then started to complain about their steak too!

19 Oct 24 Called in on the off-chance and asked for a table for 3. They fitted us in as long as we were quick. The food came quickly and was excellent. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. I can't thank them enough for helping us a brilliant meal.
