The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Really disappointed in this restaurant. First time trying here with friends and the service started off ok but then went down hill. There was no table checks done once we were given our first drink, sar for ages and had to keep trying to grab someone's attention. Food was nice but desserts pricey for what it was. The main reason we won't be back was because we felt the older woman who seemed to be in charge was quite rude to us. She came over and put the cheque on the table and said you will all need to go your tables booked out but slapped a £22 service charge on the bill. There's ways and means of asking for the table back as we understood there were people waiting it would have been no issues. My friends felt slightly Embarrassed by her behaviour so we reluctantly paid the service charge and left. Since going here I found others were in the same position

Nice, clean breakfast & super strong real coffee, what's not to like. The service was extremely polite & prompt. My only slight negative, would be the lack of parking, but not negative enough to stop me finding somewhere X

Not sure what's going on with this restaurant.... In the past it has generally always been very good but afraid we will not be using or recommending it to anyone in the future. Like some other reviews, we made a reservation well in advance for two people for a Saturday night. Turned up at the time booked only to find the place closed. No sign up to say why they may be closed and unable to get any reply from them when you tried to phone, not even a recorded message. They had my mobile but did not even have the courtesy to phone to say they would not be open. We were not the only people on that night to be somewhat surprised. As we arrived, a party of four also arrived to be greeted with the same frustration... Even if they were to change the way they ran their restaurant, they don't deserve the business if they treat their customers in this way. No guarantee of a booking or them even being open would be my worry! There are plenty more good eating places in Knowle - avoid this one and try one of the others.

Just a beautiful made fired oven pizza .Nice walk along the bay to Mummbles

Visitamos el viernes 11 de abril en familia de 4 personas. Ya no vivimos en el noreste, así que fue agradable encontrar esta joya escondida con una vista espectacular del puerto deportivo. El servicio fue de primera clase y muy atento. Nuestro hijo de 7 años fue entretenido por todo el personal. Le encantaba el set de colorear, que la mantenía entretenida mientras esperaba entre platos. Para empezar, teníamos vieiras que se cocinaron a la perfección, papas fritas Halloumi fue un placer con nuestro pequeño. El pan de pizza de ajo con queso también estaba lleno de sabor. Para la red, teníamos la lubina y las gambas reales servidas con patatas nuevas, chorizo y pimientos y no decepcionó. El bistec fue cocinado por encargo y el lado del puré de pudín negro realmente complementa el plato. La pechuga de pollo cocinada en Cointreau era tan sabrosa que todos tuvimos que probarla. Pulimos nuestra comida con un par de cócteles, que de nuevo eran perfectos! Una gran ubicación, ambiente maravillosamente presentado y relajado. Sin duda volveremos!

Our final visit to this highly authentic Italian restaurant did not disappoint. The unhurried service and perfect catering was always consistent and will now be sorely missed. We wish good luck to the owners and staff upon retirement.

Turned up for table booked for pre-theatre lunch only to find it is now called Salt & Pepper!!! Only taking cash and was almost empty at 1.30. Food was lovely however so hopefully they will get sorted soon!!!

We came quite late for lunch so our usual cafe had sold out of sandwiches and we noticed this place. We sat outside and had a couple of their focaccia sandwiches, one chicken and one vegetarian with a cappuccino. The coffee was very good. The sandwiches were nice but could have had more filling. The prices were good for the immediate vicinity of Covent Garden.

Four delicious meals and a great pudding. The food was excellent. Service excellent we all enjoyed our food. We will definitely go again. So will our guests

A fantastic, authentic Italian restaurant. The welcome, the food, and the wine are always excellent. Whenever we are going out for a special occasion, this is our first choice. Great value too!

Excelente cocina casera muy fresca comida italiana. Muy sabroso, las porciones son de un buen tamaño y el servicio fue muy rápido y eficiente. Sin duda uno de los mejores lugares para comer en Westfield.
