The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Nice place, clean and bright. The staff were amazing and the food was excellent. A little expensive to a misor like me but you get what you pay for and the cost was worth it. My thanks to all the staff.

1 star is generous, would give 0 if I could DO NOT eat the chicken from here, originally ordered a chicken burger which came out pink - then sent it back then half the chicken came back out literally RAW as if only the outside had been cooked?! Absolutely awful, please avoid this place for dinner could literally give people food poisoning and wouldn’t be surprised if it unfortunately already has, wait staff are pleasant enough but just children with no clear direction needs serious work or shutting down

What a service! We were a group larger than the existing table layout allowed, but there were no issues pulling the tables together to accommodate us. Furthermore, some of us had specific dietary requirements, which were met to a T (gluten-free and diary-free pizza, anyone? No problem!). Our server was Pedro, who provided top quality customer service, professional, but with a smile, a jest and a gesture (he offered to take a photo of our party, which we gladly availed of). Thanks for a lovely afternoon, Pedro, we had a great time and the food was delicious.

Now trading as Cintra.. OK food, but very expensive for what was on offer. We eat out on a regular basis, we wouldn't be tempted back here any time soon. Nice location looking over the harbour

My family was staying next door at the Holiday Inn Express so this restaurant was convenient for us to enjoy dinner on two occasions while in Edinburgh. The first meal we ordered was a fresh pasta for me (L15.40) and a Risotto Giuliano (L16,50) for my wife. Service was efficient,, the meals wonderful. Returning to the hotel a week later, we decided to dine again at Giuliano’s. For tis dining experience I ordered a Tagliatelle Bolognese (L13:50) and my wife their Vegetarian Penne pasta. Both tasted every bit as good as our first meal. Highly recommend Giulianos.

La primera vez que revisé este restaurante, a la entrada el personal era muy amable cada uno tomando tomo para reconocernos, bebidas ofrecidas muy rápidamente. El personal nos dio tiempo para revisar el menú, sin prisas, es un restaurante que atiende mucho al teatro que está justo enfrente, así que me sorprendió que no nos apresuraran. En persona en el 5 quería “Gamberoni king prawn only”, pensé que extraño, pero volveré a ello. Debo decir que la comida se veía apetitosa, sopa, lasaña como entrante, bolas de arroz, todo se veía encantador. Fui a por espaguetis papoletti , es muy común que la carne esté seca, pero me impresionó! , jugosa y sabrosa, la pasta también tenía muy buen sabor. La persona que pidió el “gamberoni king prawn”, obtuvo precisamente lo que pidieron, solo gambas con una ensalada, esto no fue culpa del personal, pero lo menciono ya que trataron de remediar la situación aunque fueron irreprochables. Lo cual fue bueno de ver. Pude probar un “langostino y estaban rellenitos y sabrosos! ¿Fue el tiramisú hecho en casa?’ La siguiente pregunta, fue contestada honestamente con un ‘no’. ¡Pero no impidió que se ordenara! Parecía muy sabroso, pegajoso pudín de toffee con helado parecía un ganador. Un buen restaurante sólido, se parece bastante a mamá solía hacer desde el interior, pero disfruté de la experiencia, el personal era abundante y feliz de ayudar, especialmente cuando se puso muy ocupado, volveré. La próxima vez, voy a comer Gamberoni lingüina!

Beautifully vibrant restaurant. Food was delicious. I really enjoyed this evening. Thank you so much to all the staff. Nothing was too much

I had left it too late to book a table so I entered the restaurant last minute praying that they could find us a table for 5. We were lucky and were shown to what must’ve been the last available table as the place was filling fast - always a promising sign! The staff were amazing and the food was fabulous. I had my usual Italian dish of calves liver with sage which didn’t disappoint at all! So tasty! The Linguine Ai Frutti Di Mare was similarly superb and a taste of their tiramisu for dessert highlighted that the whole menu is clearly top notch and at a price that would put a smile on anyone’s face! We loved it and as it’s just a 5 min walk from my home it was an amazing surprise to find such a gem on my doorstep. This is traditional Italian family cuisine at its very best and the staff certainly made you feel part of that family. Veramente stupendo! I will definitely be back!

Absolutely love this place, not often there but when I am........

Unfortunately, my friend and I were made to feel very uncomfortable throughout our dining experience at Cicchetti Manchester. From the moment we walked in the door, we had staff members pointing at us, laughing and whispering to one another. As two 22 year old girls who were excited for their first visit to Manchester, this is not something we expected from a restaurant claiming to be ‘exceptional.’ We really enjoyed the food so to have our evening ruined by the staff was very disappointing. For this reason, we wouldn’t return.

Had fish and chips here. The fish seemed fresh and was quite delicious however chips were a bit disappointing - many were thin and hard.

Cena en | Cena | £ 30 – 40 Fui a Bella Italia para una cena con mis hijos para disfrutar del sabor italiano, pero no había nada que te hiciera sentir como Italia. Típico ambiente inglés. Como entrada pedí bruscheta. Mamá mía, no era una bruscheta, solo pan con tomates picados. ¡Escándalo! De todos modos, pedí Lasaña, pero no fue Lasaña. Era solo crema de tomate, souce y beshamel, mezclados entre sí, solo 2 piezas de pastel de lasaña. Muy mala calidad de la comida. Yo, mejor compro una Lasanga en Lidl y la cocino en casa y es muyyyy deliciosa y auténtica comida italiana, en absoluto como Bella Italia Lasaña. Nunca volveré allí y no recomiendo como buen restaurador en el centro de Leeds y le diré a todos los que conozco que no malgasten el dinero en este lugar. El personal no era tan amable, me estaba empujando a ordenar inmediatamente sin tener que mirar el menú primero. Antes de cocinar los platos italianos, asegúrese de que el chef conoce el primo italiano y la cultura, asegúrese de que el chef ha probado antes que el primo italiano fabuloso. ¡Gracias!

The service was wonderful, the entire team is highly qualified.

We went to celebrate my granddaughter’s 12th birthday. The restaurant was full to capacity and this impacted on the service. We had to ask to place our order after sitting with our drinks for 20 minutes. The food took ages to arrive but was the same high quality we are used to at Da Sandro’s. We had to ask to order desserts and these arrived without cutlery. The coffee my son ordered never arrived and we gave up on it in the end. Nobody seemed remotely interested in asking if we wanted a bill so we just got up. The waitress had a look of panic on her face and seemed to be updating the bill as we walked across the restaurant. We had to explain to the cashier where we had been sitting so we could leave. The staff were friendly but clearly inexperienced and over-whelmed with the task at hand. This was very disappointing after so many good experiences in the past.

Katie was extremely friendly and professional and paid extra attention to my 4 year old daughter who loved the food... especially the ice cream dessert which Katie added chocolate sauce to. Thanks Katie
