The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

We had a group of six and when we arrived at the restaurant in the late afternoon, it was nearly empty. We had no reservation but decided to try it based upon other favorable reviews. The staff sat us in a corner near a door on a very wet & chilly Liverpool afternoon. A few of the ladies were cold and when we asked to be moved, the female employee was not receptive to our request. Smile a little, you work in the service industry. After finally being moved to a warmer part of the restaurant and ordering, the pizzas arrived completely black and burnt on the bottom of the crust. We said something to the waiter and asked him to tell the chef, but he just laughed it off as if we were joking. Another member of our group ordered the Risotto which she said was bland and dried out, almost to the point of being inedible. She only ate a very small part of it. None of us would return to this restaurant. There are too many other options in Liverpool and if the weather was better on this day we might have ended up somewhere diferent.

Waiting staff fantastic pastas very bland shop bought not made on site pizza burnt and very lacking on toppings could do a lot better if the cook had pasha

We both enjoyed our meals at the Gunwharf Quays location. The service was excellent and very helpful. The seating inside was comfortable and it wasn't too noisy. There was a reasonable selection on the menu including Burgers. Pizzas and Hot Dogs. Both our meals were cooked perfectly and when we settled the bill we mentioned we had a 10% discount as guests of the nearby Holiday Inn. The server got a better deal for us which was unexpected and very generous. It would be good if, post covid, a few more Frankie & Bennies opened because family diners are rare these days.

The food was amazing thank you and the most thing I like there is one waiter called Alberto he is very very kind and helpful I really want to come back only for this guy thank you I really recommend this restaurant

Service Sannija was very polite and served us well

Great spot for a quick bite to eat!, food was delicious!, I was served by the GM Nadia and she was so lovely and attentive! Will definitely revisit! X

Can’t fault the service and the stunning building but this is really average Italian food, beef ragu had hardly any beef in and was a small portion too I felt for the price. Pizzas looked bland compared to what you can get elsewhere in York where a bit more care goes into the dough and topping. Cappuccino was £6.00 which is really expensive and was in a very small cup.

We were celebrating 50 years of nursing in Queen Elizabeth Birmingham and chose Carluccio's for around 18 of us who could attend. Daniel and Cyprian (managers) helped us with our reservation and wonderful dining experience. The table was well prepared beforehand and our choices (previously sent) came out very quickly and superbly presented. Daniel managed to get all drinks required and all meals out so we could eat together. Excellent ! Happy days! Thanks to all staff involved.

Protagonist of the fourth episode of the web series "The Lady" by Lory del Santo. There are no longer the waiters of the past, but the Amarone is essential.

Un sitio espectacular , junto al río Ness con vistas muy buenas, fantastico ambiente hasta bien tarde para ser Reino Unido y calidad inigualble de la comida , especial mencion a la tabla de masrico con su pure de mejillon ahumado y al Tomahok de vaca escocesa que tambien pedimos

Ordered four roasts, which were incorrectly charged. The server then printed off a incorrect bill and told us she had other customers to deal with. Took 45 minutes for our food, which was then wrong. The server then didn’t seem too concerned that they’d managed to serve a roast dinner without any roast potatoes. We were offered potatoes, then told that they wouldn’t be ready in time, then told they would be ready in time (they never turned up). Much better places in Portsmouth more deserving of your money for both the quality of food, services and general pleasantness

I had a daddy and daughter lunch with my 3 year old. The staff were amazing and the food was incredible. They went above and beyond and the prices are good.

Very accommodating for 10 hungry ladies who hadn't pre-booked for an afternoon meal before catching a train back to Lancashire. We had a lovely friendly waitress from the Ukraine who somehow remembered all of our drinks order without writing anything down. Food was excellent and we didn't have to wait too long. Excellent choice on GF menu and I had a very tasty GF pizza. Couldn't fault the meal or service. It was a good way to end our weekend in London 👍

I attended for lunch as a family of 4. We all had pizza which were cold and very over priced. I have been a customer for years however the romana base is stretched so thin it is almost transparent. I realise the cost of everything has risen however I still want value for money. We paid £10 for dessert that was just a slice of cake and a portion of ice cream. My husband had a large bottle of larger that wasn’t cold so he wasn’t happy. We were all disappointed. I must say the waitress was lovely.

Lili our waitress was amazing! We arrived after a long day of flying from the US and were so hungry. Instead of just eating to eat Lili made our dinner and experience. Food flavor was on point.
