The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Negative first: No warm welcome. Toilets dirty but seemed like it was from that service and not generally dirty, probably need checking through out the day. Drinks orders took around 10m to be taken and another 10 to arrive. Starter arrived after 45mins. Dinner arrived quickly after finishing starter. Mistake made when giving dinners to wrong tables so 2 guests had to wait around 5 mins after first 2.. Positives: Starter choices for Sunday lunch set meal was very good. Meze starter, really tasty & good size. Lunch was very good, meat spot on. Veg wasn't you usual boring boiled veg. Roasted leeks, mange tout etc. gravy really tasty. 4 guests, 3x 2 courses, 1x 3course. Extra side of cauliflower cheese. 4 pints lager, 3 pints coke £87 everything. Food spot on, service poor. Would we go back, yes but would be prepared to wait.

Amazing freshly cooked food. Excellent value. Kids meals are very reasonable and good portion sized. Smash burgers are a big hit with the family.

Amazing service ! Amazing food , very special experience. Recommend the calzone and the strawberry cooler ! Perfect spot !

The gent who greated us at the door was very hostile and rude. Had the feeling he didn't want to be there at all and was the same when seeing us out. The food was mediocre and the atmosphere was ruined by the feeling that it was a burden us prebooking a table that were shoved together and not even level. Over all an underwhelming experience

Food was great. Halloumi Fries best lv'e had anywhere. Steak pie amazing. Fish very good,batter or breaded so good. Onion rings amazing and crispy. Cookie dessert was so good. Great portions,great prices. Wee(half)portions are a great size too. Good relaxing atmosphere. Compliments to the chefs.

Our 1st visit to Don Beni's Winkfield restaurant. Heard a lot about it over the years, so finally visited for an early dinner Sunday. It's a sweet restaurant, nice décor, very friendly staff. Good variety on the menu, pizzas were excellent, Moretti on draught. We will definitely return soon. Highly recommend.

We would like to support a local business , but sadly we decided not to return here. Lovely staff, but the food is hit and miss, we each had 3 courses, out of the 6 dishes one was fantastic ( though not very hot, and served on a cold plate). The others were either OK or quite bad . The Haggis starter was a bit tastless, and a steak, ordered medium rare was rare, almost blue. The staff are lovely, but there is no atmosphere, its brightly lit and was so very cold many diners had their coats on. The overall feel is of eating in an upmarket converted office. Its so tough running a restaurant, maybe a smaller menu, and a bit spent on styling it and creating sections would help the place feel more intimate.

Firstly, the staff were so rude, we were waiting for ages for someone to notice us. Then they forgot to put our order through which I understand but after it finally came out it was left on the side for 10 minutes to go cold. It was then brought over to us and the food was not nice at all. It wasn’t even busy but the service was terrible and the 2 members of staff just looked so unhappy.

Nice meal in pleasant surroundings. Portions good size & very tasty, had a enjoyable meal 😋 left feeling well fed. Good coffee ☕️

Always a lovely experience here, staff are always so polite and helpful and food is always 10/10!! Me and my partner come to this restaurant every 2 weeks maybe twice in a week it’s so good

Primera visita a los Vinci durante ARW's 2025 , y no decepcionó. El restaurante es muy acogedor y tiene un ambiente encantador, y está idealmente situado en el centro de la ciudad, con aparcamiento y conexiones de transporte cercanas. La comida era deliciosa - tuvimos tres platos y todas las opciones fueron bien recibidas. El paté y la tarta de queso definitivamente vale la pena probar. El servicio era amable y un buen ritmo teniendo en cuenta lo ocupado que estaba el lugar. Definitivamente volverá a probar más de las opciones de menú!

I visited the restaurant on Saturday 25th Feb as part of a large group (50+people). Now I understand that 50 people arriving at the same time is a bit of a nightmare but, as I understand it, Marco was given all of our menu choices in advance. Anyway, we arrived at 7pm and received our starter at 8.20pm. This wasn't a huge issue as we were enjoying the company of our friends, however as the night went on it meant that some had finished their meals and others hadn't even had their mains, some never got them and left. The waitresses did their best to calm the waters and generally the mood was OK despite the obvious problems. The food when it did arrive was acceptable, but I had expected slightly better than acceptable to be honest. We asked for parmesan and was told there wasnt any tonight. Some on our table didn't eat their mains as they said it was bland and left before their deserts. As I say, I get 50 people is a bit of a logistical nightmare but surely the restaurant should have been prepared for that? All in all I would advise not to visit if you're in a large group.

It has always been a nice and friendly place to go…… food always fantastic……………….hope to be back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always an excellent choice, great menu and a lovely specials board. Fast service by friendly staff. Great value and in a good location for us.

Had been recommended to visit. Atmosphere of staff was not a happy team, but efficient. Starter:garlic bread was lovely Main chicken appollo appeared like it was a ready meal, not that tasty. Chips:very poor. Took on the appearance of oven chips Dessert: pancake, disappointed it was not warm, in fact it looked and tasted like a fresh shop version and certainly not made on the premises. Pour quality chocolate sauce. Better pancake at a farm shop in honingham with excellent presentation and taste. We were presented with our bill followed by a prompt “ are you ready to pay” For what we thought would be the real Italian experience, we were disappointed. £40 including 1 sift drink. Better eateries on the same street so we won’t be returning.
