The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

Been going to Al Fresco for years. Usually use the Whetstone one but had been here a few times and thought we'd try it again now it's reopened . I wondered if it's changed hands as didn't recognise any staff, the menu was different and there was zero atmosphere. Sadly the food was distinctly average.

We visited here as a party of six for dinner, none of us could fault any part of all three courses. A permanent addition to what will be one of our favourite restaurants. Great job.

I can't believe there is even one negative review regarding food on this site. Kids yes, they are a bloody nuisance everywhere especially when their parents treat the place like a childrens' playground and, unfortunately, this is an area where 'little darlings' are allowed to 'express themselves'. However, for adults... As a semi-regular, I have always considered their pizzas not just the best in Brighton but just about everywhere. This was, nevertheless, the first time I/we - there were seven of us - had been for Sunday roast. Superb is an understatement. The portions were huge - I think I must have had half a splendidly cooked cow! - while others indulged in a mixed meat roast. The accompanying vegetables were more than plentiful and, despite, being tantalised by the dessert menu, unfortunately none of us had room. Drinks prices are a little steep for an out of city centre establishment but food prices are cheap by comparison and the quality is fantastic.

Nous avons découvert cette petite pizzeria lors de notre voyage à Londres et nous avons été ravis Les pizzas sont toutes succulentes et l’accueil formidable . Les prix sont très abordables Le patron nous ont même donné des adresses d’autres restaurants excellents et pas chers Je recommande vivement

Lovely little place this, been here before and it’s always a nice, quiet place to enjoy the food and drink with loved one. The one little criticism and it is little, the prices are expensive for the food but the food is good. (A guess you get what you pay for) Without the 20% off it was £130 for two of us. Which is MCR prices so make sure you go when there are offers on. Services was a little slow last night too, waiting 10-12 mins for extra bread but it was generally very good.

After travelling 25 minutes to get my daughter a waffle, I dropped her outside with plenty of time before closing time, I parked across the road near the food cabin so could see her, two in front both served, she waited in the queue for 9 minutes just to be turned away at 4 minutes past 7! Rude and the last time I’ll be spending money there. Since the new owners have taken over it’s not the same, how hard would it have been to use some emotional intelligence and shut the door and serve the people in the queue from before your shutting time.

Great restaurant that I would happily go to again. Service was more than perfect, and the waiting staff were kind, helpful, courteous and extremely efficient. Food was exceptionally good and tasted very Italian, including the vegan option. I spoke with the chef afterwards and complimented him on his cooking. If I was in Durham again, I simply wouldn't bother going anywhere else. This is a really good restaurant, with good service, good food, a wide array of drinks, and all at very reasonable prices.

Soy un cliente muy leal y visito el restaurante a diario. Hoy fui allí y decidí llevar a mi familia allí también. La comida era muy buena, pero cuando se trataba de pagar había un poco de confusión y fui a cuestionarla. Estaba hablando con el dueño que se llama Mirela, que fue muy grosero y se estaba riendo en mi cara. Normalmente no tengo ningún problema aquí, pero después de esa horrible experiencia no volveré. Luego consiguió que su compañero de trabajo saliera y me pidiera disculpas. Siento que esto fue muy poco profesional y que ella debería haber venido a disculparse. Si ella es realmente la dueña, debería recibir más capacitación en el servicio al cliente y tal vez sacar una hoja de su libro.

This place was beyond fabulous, a treat on the eyes, the decor the staff and the drinks are stunning. I will be returning imminently for this 5* service. Tip top bosh

Have now visited a few times and would definitely recommend it. Great food, great value for money and friendly staff.

Had pasta arrabbiata here, and a bottle of red wine, and it was great - can’t fault it. Really friendly staff - would recommend, and would come again. I was here for a pre- Piece Hall meal and drink, and will be happy to come again if I’m seeing anything at the Piece Hall.in future. Thanks guys!
