The best restaurants in United Kingdom serving Italian food

The order took over 20 minutes to come and there was only 4 customers in the shop. Then when the food did arrive, one of the servers left one of my sisters desserts at the end of the table and failed to tell us that the pan was hot, leaving me to burn my hand trying to move it to my sister. Other than that, the desert was well done and tasted great.

Their website suggested we booked. We tried to call the restaurant from 3pm (as suggested). Got engaged tone each time we called. When the phone finally rang we got the answer machine. Decided to try our luck, turned up at 5.15 to be turned away. Pretty disappointed. Gave 2 stars because the menu looked nice.

What a find I would give it more stars if I could. Excellent food not one thing we could fault and there were 4 of us. We all chose different starters, mains and shared a cheeseboard. Don’t drive by this little gem I highly recommend.

Mainly a positive experience. 5 adults and 2 children, 1 child with a food intolerance which they took seriously. Our waitress was very polite and friendly but did forget to bring out one of the children’s meals which turns out hadn’t even been made. When it came it was a very generous portion. All the meals were very tasty and piping hot, apart from my salmon risotto that was too salty. I do love my salt and have a habit of adding at the table, luckily I decided to taste it first otherwise it would have been inedible. I did enjoy the flavour but just failed to finish it, due to the saltiness.

Pedí una tortilla & fue increíble y la presentación fue de 10 / 10 , disfrutamos mucho de esta comida y recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar para comida & bebidas. El personal también es muy amable y educado! X

Booked here based on Google reviews and the first few photos of the food online. We have learnt a valuable lesson tonight never to do this again. Pretty dreadful experience right through from the cobwebs on the walls to the haphazard service, long waits and very poor food quality. 20 mins after ordering, we were told my main wasn’t available so had to change. Waited for drinks. Waited for wine. Waited for water. We waited for everything. 45 mins wait from being seated to starters arriving. Mushrooms floating in a watery cream sauce. Failed to pick up the garlic anywhere. Polpette half the size of the photos. Hard and very average according to the Italian I dined with. Asked for bread. Waiter ran to get some and never returned. Mains fared no better. Poor quality carbonara with guanciale not rendered out so just lumps of soft unappealing fat. Egg and pecorino cheese mixture through the pasta and poor effort to make an actual carbonara sauce. Half eaten and left. Likewise the amatriciana was just a tomato sauce without any hint of chili. And again lumps of guaniciale fat not rendered. Extra parmesan requested and arrived with waitress in bowl with teaspoon who proceeded to shake literally half a spoon on the carbonara and ask ‘Enough?’. She wasn’t going to leave it with us. Didn’t realise parmesan cost the same as gold. Both times the waiter came to clear the plates, asking ‘Good?’. We just mumbled words to get rid of him, not wanting to break his spirit. Table across from us got £50 off their bill as they waited so long for food (over an hour just for mains, no starters) and complained also about the quality of the food. So the experience was not just unique to us. We weren’t just unfortunate or unlucky. Amazed places like this stay in business so long. Whoever is giving them great reviews must have very low standards. After paying the £76 (incl 12.5% service), we vowed never to go back.

Absolutely shocking! Farah wants to look at his staffing! What an amazing cook but brought down by his front of house team!

Pedí un croissant relleno de mozzarella y tomate , el croissant estaba sobre cocinado con 2 trozos de tomate duro frío y apenas una pizca de mozzarella; por el precio del mismo 4 . 99 fue impactante, así que sugiero que su gerente / chef revise esta mala elección de relleno y ofrezca mejores ingredientes sustanciales para este plato

A most enjoyable meal supported by good service and helpful staff. Well worth a return visit and soon!

Al principio le pregunté al personal, una chica con el pelo naranja que creo que estaba en el entrenamiento era extremadamente grosero mientras yo estaba ordenando, con una actitud descarada vegetariana. Horrible atención al cliente. Cuando hizo el café se fue del mostrador sin decir nada. El café estaba muy amargo, y lo tiré directo a la papelera. Tuve que coger un tren así que no pude volver a quejarme en persona. Horrible experiencia, para un producto caro. No voy a volver.

Each time I visit London I make a point of dining at Giotto, and on every occasion I have not been disappointed. The food was exceptionally well cooked and presented as I have come to expect, at my last visit I had the Pollo alla Funghi, absolutely delicious. The staff are friendly, professional and helpful and never did I feel pressured or rushed at any time. Looking forward to returning in July.

Great decor and lovely food particularly thr desserts! The staff were very nice too. Just a shame it was a bit empty but it was New Year's Eve.

Amici italiani, se siete in Inghilterra e volete gustare un caffè decente, Caffè Nero è ciò che fa per voi. Il single espresso e il single espresso macchiato non sono per niente male.

Stopped here for lunch one day when working nearby. The selection of fresh ingredients for the wraps is good and the wraps look great when being made. The wraps are delicious and I make sure I visit each time I’m in the area.

Family gathering of 11 persons. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was a variety of pasta’s, risottos and meaty mains. Nothing out of this world but certainly not disappointing. Bill was quite high. .
