The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Wow what a difference a few months make, went in March and found it great went last week and waited over 20 minutes before we were asked if we were ready to order food, we hadn't even been asked if we wanted any drinks, we'd been offered water when we sat down and even that hadn't arrived. Service is slow and not attentive, food just ok, I've had much better. Real shame as the venue is lovely. The couple next to us also were struggling to get drinks, and staff would come to serve and not take away empty items away. Seemed to be loads of young girls working with no supervision, meaning service was very poor. We won't be going again.

Visiting family in the area and came here on my son's recommendation. We weren't disappointed beautiful surroundings inside and amazing views outside. I ordered Vegetarian Lasagne and my husband a Pizza. Friendly staff especially the older waiter who wears glasses I would recommend this restaurant and the locals are very lucky to have this restaurant on their doorstep. 5 stars from me

Although busy, we got shown to a table very quickly. There was a mouth-watering display of cakes available, however the scones we opted for were by far the best we’ve tasted in a long time. I’d a superb pot of tea, and thanks to the skill of the dedicated barista, my husband enjoyed a fabulous flat white. A row of dedicated tip bowls ensured that our lovely server, Susan, was acknowledged for offering us the wonderful option of having our scones toasted; delicious! A nice old-fashioned end to our Largs visit.

Food poor and operated,not good for the price,noisy and a very very long wait ,not returning.all show no substance.has gone down hill,

Lovely dinner with the family, thank you Poppy for amazing service and being so friendly. Lovely food, great company, fab service. Thank you!

Had to wait 55 mins for our pizzas. When I complained I was told it was due to all the delivery orders that took preference!

Lovely place & cocktails. Food average. Salad not very exciting, a lot of yellow Iceberg lettuce . My husband had items missing from his meal that should have been included, as per the menu specification. Will try again, though. Staff were attentive.

Review: Food: 5 stars The food was absolutely fantastic, deserving of every star. Full of flavor, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care. Service & FOH Team: -5 stars Unfortunately, the front-of-house team was a major disappointment. There were far too many staff members, most of whom spent more time chatting and making social media posts than attending to guests. The lack of attention to service was striking—maybe they should focus on matching the level of service with the quality of the food. While I’d happily return for the food alone, the poor service made it unlikely I’ll ever come back. Best of luck to the owner, who clearly needs a new manager to lead the front of house staff.

I went with my husband to try this place for the first time. We ordered a starter and two main courses. We received the starter and waited more than 35 minutes for the rest of our food to arrive. Nobody came to explain why the food was delayed. I asked the waitress, and she said it would be two more minutes and went to ask the kitchen. After five minutes, another person came and said they were sorry our food wasn't ready. Of course, we left the place immediately after wasting our time and not eating properly. They said the starter was free!! Of course the least they could do.

Lugar es encantador Los baños son muy desagradables El personal era encantador pero difícil de llamar su atención cuando estás sentado hacia el frente Entradas y red no era genial (aunque la pasta era fresca) y tampoco las bebidas Tiramisu era tan delicioso Pero, no volverá

This is our favourite local restaurant. We eat here a lot usually on a Sunday when there is a very reasonably priced set lunch menu. The food is always good as in the service and the puddings are so good.

Poor service, took 30 minutes to take drinks order, and another 15 minutes to order food. The food order was wrong which we sent back and they tried to charge for it even though we had sent it back. Affrogato and coffee delivered in glass cups balanced on too small a saucer and both tipped over spilling most of contents over the table. Tired to charge for these too. Then they added a £25 tip. Busier because Cibo was closed for refurb and they couldn’t cope with the number of people. Very disappointing especially as it was a big celebration. Won’t be going back

Disgusting, ordered a tasted sandwich,bread stale tasted of nothing.(sent back) Old leaking teapot, Dirty crokery was so old . Waitress nice,owner surly,young girl more interested on using her phone. My daughters steak sandwich nothing to write home about. Will never go back. Waste of money.

This is a great place for a quiet couples dinner. Lovely menu with some options for me as a vegan. We both had bruschetta to start, I had a lovely vegan pasta and my husband had a chicken pasta. Excellent spicy margarita made by the lovely barman Aiden. Service was really attentive, with friendly but not too intrusive staff. Aiden in particular was fantastic. Overall a great experience and good value for money, which is a rare find in St Andrews.
