The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Waitresses excellent as all ways. Food over priced and not very good. The wine was like vinegar. And I like a a nice red. So wouldn’t be going back any time soon.

Difficult to review as having been placed at our table, the one member of staff disappeared and we waited and nothing happened so we left. Went to another restaurant where we had not booked (6) and were welcomed, seated and had a great evening. Have been to Prezzo in the past for lunch and had good food and a pleasant enough experience but never have we had to walk away from any restaurant because there was no service! Shame.

Great service from waitress Carla. Food as good as ever. Kids loved it too. Good choice of wines. Ask Italian really know how to keep their customers happy time after time.

Comida de buena calidad con buen servicio y camarero joven bien entrenado. Las escaleras al restaurante pueden ser una prueba. Sin embargo vale la pena la subida por la comida y el vino

I came to baffi for a special occasion as I was recommended this location from a good friend of mine and it didn’t disappoint . The customer service from the staff was amazing well mannered and patient with my family , in addition to this they even recommended an amazing choice of pizza for my brother who was quite indecisive . Finally the time it took to make our pizza was excellent fast and fresh . Pizza was well cooked with a nice amount of crunch to floppy texture which allowed for a beautiful mouthfeel and just when it can’t get any better the pizza had an impeccable cheese stretch just made my day . In conclusion if you’re looking for an amazing pizza for a fair price come to baffi . Try to avoid Cafe Riva .

Excellent food with great service. I wasn’t sure about going based on the pictures on trip advisor. I was pleasantly surprised and loved my dinner! I highly recommend Luigi’s!

I visited this place several years ago with my daughter who was 8 at the time. The owner asked what she was dong at school. She mention that she was learn ing the cello. He produced a violin which he said he had recently acquired at a jumble sale and gave it her to try. She could not play it so he asked if she minded if he tried. What happened then I will never forget. He played that violin to concert violinist standards, absolutely amazing. The food is great but the violin playing is just superb. I hear it is closed temporarily as he has had a hip operation. I wish him a full recovery and my sincere thanks for what he did on the very special visit all those years ago!

Excellent lunchtime meal. Chain restaurants can be very hit and miss This one has to be considered excellent. Service was perfect. The place was absolutely clean and the food was nicely prepared and served hot Would be very happy to return. Well done to all the staff

We've eaten here before but rocked up on spec tonight prepared to be turned away if they were busy but we were accommodated quickly despite them having a big party coming in. We had to wait less than 10 minutes and we're given a complimentary glass of prosecco, very thoughtful and great customer service, we really felt valued. Food was fantastic as usual but it's the service that makes the difference. Relaxed, valued and well fed, what more do you want? Especially with all the new restaurants in Sunderland who are charging ridiculous money for boring food Thank you Marcello's you are a Sunderland success!

I'm not big on ice cream, but man this was good. It's pricey but worth it. There's a wealth of options including chocolate gifts too and they stack the ice cream scoops well. Very professional staff.

Heerlijk gegeten,erg fijn van smaak was er wel erg druk zaten aan een deel tafel . Vriendelijke bediening ,maar een fijn proever kan ze lol op . Ook afhalen volgens mij

BRILLANT BRILLANT BRILLANT BRILLANT loved it soooooooooooooooooo much really enjoyed going there and I’m 100% sure you will enjoy it so DEFIENTLY GO THERE!!!!

Muy buena la pizza napolitana acompañada de una copa de vino italiano. La atención y el servicio fue bueno a secas. El precio es aceptable.

It is fair to say that that we had a mixed experience here. We went as a family group and some members of the group really enjoyed their meals, but others found the food poor. My own meal was a large portion size, but felt like a definite case of quantity over quality. Another member of the group felt the same, and said her pizza was very stodgy. But the person that had the steak really enjoyed that. The staff were friendly but seemed uncertain and lacked confidence. It was very quiet on the evening we went, and there was a very sterile atmosphere. Perhaps some music would help, and some attempt to make it feel more cosy with the decor - it is all quite bland and there are still Covid social distancing stickers on the floor. All in all it felt quite average. Certainly room for improvement. If you find yourself here, maybe have the steak!

Now called the Italian kitchen.......ordered a takeaway, 2 garlic mushrooms, 1 margarita pizza, 1 calazone pizza, 1 chips.......over £36 for a takeaway, calazone not much bigger than the size of a large hand, strangest taste of a pizza we have ever had, the ciabatta that the garlic mushrooms came with was on the bottom so that was very soggy, not our idea of nice food, staff were lovely.
