The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

This is my second review and this time not 5 but 4 stars. Reasons: worse service, food not that perfect. Possibly I will not come back... I want the same standards(or higher) when I am back to the same place!

Great ambiance and super efficient service. Starters are too expensive though. Two menu’s, one twice the price of the other, which is ok if you want to treat yourself, but my wife ate off the cheaper menu and I ate off the more expensive one but not sure it was twice as good.

Wonderful service and delicious pasta. The new family who run this place are doing a great job. I’m addicted to the Di Carlos pasta and my daughter loves the Nutella pizza on sourdough. 100% recommend this local gem.

Questo ristorante ad Acton NON ESISTE PIÙ. Il nome è scritto fuori ma ora è un Hungry Pizza Limi. Un ambiente di dubbia pulizia con al banco un oste della série "tristezza portami via".... Una schifezza! Abbiamo mangiato una pizza alla bufala e un tristissimo Spaghetti con gamberetti insipido, freddo e scotto. Abbiamo bevuto acqua e coca e abbiamo dovuto chiedere I bicchieri... Mai più Una tristezza immensa... 24,50£ rubati

The food is very authentic and it feels like I am in Italy Really recommend this restaurant and also I suggest that you book in advance as well

As an aged couple on a two night break in Cambridge, on our way back to our hotel we stopped outside Geovannis to look at the menu. A young lady came out and tempted us in, and are we glad she did. It rounded off a fab day with a meal , a drink, a great atmosphere and excellent service. In our 70's we are used to being disappointed , the young but efficient staff were excellent, the food great and we had a great evening. Top notch!!

I loved the carbonara and hazelnut ice cream!!!

Brilliant service and beautiful food, friends with benefits cocktail is so good! The staff are very friendly and fast service.

Great food, service and friendly staff

We had an absolutely fantastic birthday dinner here, and it matches or exceeds everywhere we ate on our holiday in Italy this year! The service was relaxed but very attentive, and the sommelier was superb, matching wines perfectly to our dishes. Each dish was faultless, from the gnocchi to the veal, paired with a wonderful glass of pinot noir. If we lived in the area we would eat here all the time!

Celebrating my wife’s birthday with my two children. We had such a nice meal and were felt welcome from the start with Florin looking after us. Couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend the sharing plates

First time here as we were going to the Orchard, service a bit slow, think there was just one waitress possibly 2, both ordered pasta dishes which were not that great, neither very tasty, wasn't offered black pepper or parmesan so had to ask, could be so much better, won't go back.

Food excellent - service spot on . Only fault room was very cold

This was family celebration. We went to Vicino on the recommendation of one of the party. Sadly, it must have changed management as it was unrecognisable. The silver service and caring waiters had been replaced by rude and unhelpful waiting staff, reflecting the attitude of the manager (owner?) who was just unpleasant. We asked to be moved to another table but this was denied notwithstanding that it was empty all evening. This is the worst meal I can ever remember having. The service was slow, and people were served at different times. It seemed throughout that we were being done a favour by reluctant staff. When the food did come, there were no redeeming features. The pasta was a congealed mass. The muscles were overcooked and dry. The lasagna was microwaved and stodgy. The gamberoni were shrivelled. The calamari looked as if they had come from a frozen packet. Even the asparagus special was ruined. I usually enjoy liver which should be of good quality and lightly cooked; what was served was of poor quality reheated in a sauce which can only be described as uniquely dreadful. The Pinot and Barbera were of very low quality and almost undrinkable. To cap it all the bill was substantially more than I anticipated.

Since moving to the southside we have been desperately searching for a takeout that does a good curry - and we finally found it! The peshwari naan is exceptional & the South Indian garlic chilli curry was the best we have had in a long time! It was also extremely reasonably priced for the area. The staff were also very polite and the kitchen was in clear view and absolutely spotless. We will definitely be your new regulars 😁
