The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

This restaurant is branded as "Mediterranean Grill". We decided to visit for lunch whilst in the area. When we arrived the restaurant was empty and it remained so, apart from family/friends of the owner. The menu was quite wide ranging, although catering for allergy needs did need some discussion. When the meals were served, the quality and portion size were very good. However, we would rate other aspects of our visit as average.

Recently moved to the area had a great night here with my friend . Owner and staff were friendly .Food was really nice and the lamb shank was so nice and melted in your mouth. Will return great place.

Lovely food and great value on a Monday evening- helpful and pleasant staff - great atmosphere in the restaurant- definitely recommend

Stopped by for a leisurely lunch, and it was delightful. The relaxed vibe and attentive service made for a pleasant break in the day. It's a lovely spot for catching up with friends or enjoying some quiet time. Will definitely return.

The food was beautifully cooked! It was a lovely atmosphere and the rosè Zinfindal blush was amazing! However, we were slightly disappointed with the service, we had went out as we were on holiday and we thought it would save time as we had to pack for going home, but instead we had to wait ages for our food, we waited for the starter then they came out with the Main course, then we waited about 25 mins for dessert and that was after asking for it the second time too!

We went with friends on Friday afternoon to celebrate my birthday. The actual restaurant is in the process of being refurbished so at the moment they are using the function room at the back of the hotel, but it was very pleasant and welcoming. Because the weather was so nice however we decided to eat outside on the veranda. The menu had changed since the last time we visited and was probably more limited than normal, but that is understandable in the present circumstances. Everything we ordered was excellent and the service was second to none. I would particularly like to thank our waitress Madeline, who was very friendly and helpful, in fact she went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. All in all a very pleasant afternoon and we will definitely return once the restaurant reopens.

Me and my patenter came in last Friday as a friend recommended. Did not disappoint I could honestly say it was the best pasta dish I have ever eaten! We will be retuning frequently. Waitress was also very polite and friendly ☺️

We were in Greenwich for the day playing tourist. We have some restrictions on food. We needed to find a place that could cater to us. We met with Valentina who manages the restaurant. Valentina was very patient and kind with us. Good pizza. Very nice service! If you go here go to Valentina and you will be taken care of for a good meal!

My son and his friends (aged 14) went to Fabio’s on Tuesday for a special treat. As they are teenagers and don’t have much money, they made sure that they arrived for ‘Happy Hour’. However, when they proceeded to order, they were told that they were 1 minute late for Happy Hour and had to pay full price!!!! Taking advantage of teenagers is not a good look! They will not be returning and neither will I. There are lots of alternative restaurants in Chester le street that value young people and their custom. Very poor behavior from Fabio’s.

I visited here with colleagues for a mid-week evening meal. There are some great deals on such as early bird where you get three courses for £16.95. I opted for that as the options I was going to get for starter and main were on there anyway and it worked out cheaper to do that than order them from the main menu (plus I got dessert in the early bird price too!) Starter of fried halloumi was really nicely cooked and a perfect sized portion. My colleague had calamari but they felt it was a bit soggy for their liking. For main I had penne dolca vita which was really tasty, It was nicely cooked, had a decent kick and flavour and was suitably portioned. Dessert I had ice-cream which was fine. Overall we had a good evening here and the food was a standard expected of a good Italian restaurant. Service was friendly and generally efficient. Would recommend for a good value Italian meal

Amazing food way better than any chain pizza place, prices were reasonable and outdoor area is very nice. Would go again if in the area

Our family (4 adults) went to celebrate our son's birthday. First impressions were good - lovely decor, spotlessly clean, friendly welcome. Good choice of menu - we enjoyed seafood linguine. Portions are large. Polite, attentive but not intrusive service. We appreciated we were able to relax and chat as no loud music and no huge groups of noisy shouting people, just others enjoying a relaxing fun evening. We were impressed and look forward to returning soon.

Came yesterday for the first time, we've been meaning to come for ages. So glad we did, we had curried goat meat plus rice and peas with salad. Oh so nice, we came early so had to wait but it was all freshly made so worth it, dumpling on the side too, forgot that. Staff so lovely, helpful and cheerful, also we had a plate of freshly made chips, not french fries, proper chips. we asked for some more dumplings and they made some extra for us. It is Carribean food, not sure if they have it every day, looked on website it said Italian but we wanted the carribean. Delicious

Food ok but it’s the second time they’ve tried it on by adding food and drink onto the bill, first time we gave them benefit of the doubt but second time alarm bells, won’t go again, shame…

We arrived late afternoon before the Saturday rush. Very friendly staff prepping for post 2nd lockdown service. They still had time to chat about recent struggles but were very positive about the future. This is the first meal here for me although the morning coffee is excellent. We ordered a pizza each and a bottle of very good house red syrah. I could see the kitchen chef rolling and cutting dough in front of the gas pizza oven. The pizza has lovely toppings, were as thin as you could make and very tasty. With an extra large wine and Calypso coffee the bill came to £53. A reasonable price for friendly staff, a nice vibe and good food.
