The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Presentation was excellent, portions were ample, staff were smiling, happy and polite

First time here, we all had a great time and will return

Excellent lunch at this restaurant. Good choice.

We had a great time, always great food there, not to miss if you re in Oxford!

Called in for lunch prior to Rugby at Twickenham, fresh food nicely cooked. Great value and the staff super friendly. Highly recommended.

A great place ,entertainment was provided ala singalong food was all good!

Lovely food and great service the whole evening.

Such a lovely place. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing

I had the arancini and beef pasta, both excellent. But the mushroom pasta was way too salty. They accepted it was a ‘bad batch’ and gave us a complimentary dessert. Service was great!

El personal muy amable nos recibió y procedió a darnos un servicio cálido, no invasivo pero atento y comida de excelente calidad. Muy recomendable

Great food reasonably priced, but the fixed 12.5 per cent service charge is absurd for this kind of restaurant. The waiter spoke to us 4 times! Why don't they charge more for the food so the chef and interior staff get paid fairly and properly as they should? If the front of house staff are good then I will reward them accordingly. That way we all feel we have earned our money.

We came here for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time as the high prices have put us off, but as it was a special occasion, we thought we'd give it a try. Given the reviews and high prices, our expectations were high. Sadly those expectations were misplaced. The food was lovely and the service was friendly. But the service was slow. Our booking was for 8pm. We didn't get our main course until just before 10pm. They said it was because they were busy. If they cannot keep up with the number of tables they have on offer then they should operate as a smaller restaurant or get more staff. Otherwise everything was nice. I just cannot fathom how they can charge so much. For that price I expect to be wowed, not just nice. Rossinis is more reasonable, food just as good, service is quicker. We would only go back if they started charging more normal prices.

Booked my staff Christmas party on Sunday 1st December Table for 12 people On arrival the table had nothing even remotely like a Christmas party absolutely nothing We were forced to order starters and main all together We arrived at 3pm and everything was ok all having a laugh and chat and then I was told that we had to leave by 5,30 as they had another booking coming !!!!! Well on booking I wasn’t made aware of this at all , the manager was quite rude after he got his almost £700 bill payed and we were really literally pushed onto the street outside with a mention of a coffee or a taxi , the ladies in the group were all freezing and very shocked , I urge people to not go to this place , if you want beautiful authentic Italian food then Trattoria Raff in Sydenham is your best bet it’s amazing and such impeccable service .

Thank you to Allison, Trudie, Dan and all the team at Riva for our stunning wedding lunch held on Saturday 16th November. The food was excellent, as was the service. They gladly and helpfully set up the tables on our behalf with our flowers & candles, etc. We had a fantastic afternoon and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for a wonderful day! Mr & Mrs Jackson ♥️
