The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

REAL - I REPEAT - REAL ITALIAN PIZZA!!! But forget the fact it's a perfectly flat unfluffed BS sourdough base with really top quality toppings. CHEESECAKE WILL BLOW YOUR F###ING MIND!! I challenge anyone to find better soft cheesecake. Provided you don't have chicken-nuggets-only-tastebuds it is heaven. Yeah, it's a love letter - but a deserved one. 11/10

Warm welcome and delicious Italian food. Really enjoyed our evening dinner. Could not fault the customer service and more importantly the food really worth every penny.

Truly amazing, lip-smacking Greek food and amazing customer service ❤️

Been going a while now, top class cheesey garlic bread and wings well all the food is class. Delivery time can be a while but guess it’s expected with the demand they will have for the food!!

I am saddened to be writing this review As my first few experiences with the food at Zizzona have been positive, so much that I have even recommended this take out to family and friends. Unfortunately the most recent time, which has been the first time speaking to a staff member (unsure of which one) on the phone has left a distasteful feeling regarding the place. On Saturday night, I ordered from Zizzona, a pizza for my boyfriend, my grandma and myself. Mine was a chicken, ham & veg pizza. The 3 of our pizzas were all different. A few hours after I ate my pizza, I was struck with projectile vomiting and some other nasty symptoms. This was an awful night. Whilst I couldn’t be sure this was due to food poisoning, there was still a chance due to the timing of it and intensity of the symptoms. Because of this, I messaged Zizzona on instagram on Sunday sharing what happened because it’s important for them to know so that they are extra careful and take the possibility into consideration that it could have been food poisoning. It’s now Tuesday and my message has not been responsed to yet. So tonight I have decided to phone them and very politely & thoughtfully reiterated what I’d said on the message. To my disappointment, the response from the staff member I spoke to contained zero compassion and straight away I was struck with “we are 100% satisfied with our food safety, no one else has given this complaint, we will reply to your instagram message” This response did feel pretty unprofessional especially due to the severity of the situation. The fact I’d come into the conversation saying that I can’t be 100% certain and this still didn’t seem to matter. Instead of addressing my concerns with understanding or empathy, I was met with defensiveness, which left me feeling dismissed. I wasn't expecting an admission of fault, just a thoughtful acknowledgment of my experience and reassurance that the matter would be taken seriously. It’s important to add, I could have quite easily gone straight to write a google review but I chose to contact them, giving them the chance to respond appropriately. If this has been handled in a suitable and professional manner, I would be leaving no review. I truly wanted to continue being a loyal customer, but after this interaction, I am left questioning whether I can trust their level of care and commitment to their customers’ wellbeing. I hope Zizzona takes this feedback on board and improves their approach to customer service in such situations. *For context: instagram message sent Sunday is uploaded. *As per Zizzona’s latest reply: Yes, I received your response on Instagram following our phone call I made tonight. However, this still doesn’t address my concerns adequately. I wasn’t expecting an admission of fault, but I did hope for some acknowledgment that my experience would be taken seriously. Dismissing any possibility of a connection without considering extra precautions or showing any openness to investigate feels unprofessional, especially in matters related to customer safety., I also noticed a similar review on trip advisor from 2022, where a customer reported her daughter becoming violently ill a few hours after consuming a chicken & chorizo pizza from Zizzona. While this was two years ago, had such concerns been fully investigated back then, perhaps this situation could have been prevented. I strongly believe this issue should be handled more carefully.

Another fabulous Christmas get together at Carlisi’s 👍🏽 the friendly warm environment sets the scene for a welcome relaxing get together. The food is lovely, the staff attentive & the wine & service just lovely. I visit regularly and love the home made tasting food & the deserts are so lovely.

Le Rose has now been replaced by a new Italian restaurant (sorry forgot the new name). This place has delicious food and amazing cocktails, I want to gatekeep so it doesn't get too busy, but don't want to risk it closing as it is worth Michelin stars. The service is incredible, the food out of this world and the cocktails insane.

Absolutely delicious food and lovely staff

Absolutely love this gem of a restaurant, excellent food,,excellent service and lovely staff , my husband and myself eat here regularly and we have always loved the food.

Its back! The BYOW evenings on Fridays and Saturdays! So pleased. Nothing has changed. Same excellent food, same excellent service, same fantastic atmosphere. Excellent fixed price 2 and 3 course menu. Really chuffed his place is back in the evenings as we have had some amazing times here with family and friends over the years. Front of house's both just as chasamatic as before! If have been here before in the evenings get back down! For those who haven't, do come as no other BYOWs in Molesey and nothing like this!

personally think the food is average, its not terrible but its not blow you away amazing! but very reasonably priced and the wait staff are great and friendly .

We have been here on a regular basis now and that’s purely because the food and service is so amazing, both me and my husband have tried a variety of dish’s from choosing the steak and chips and various other dishes from the specials board to the pastas,piizzas etc from the main menu, every mouthful is delicious and nothing is too much trouble if you want to change or add something to your dish, I always like extra garlic and chilli and is always added to the just how in like it .. every mouthful is always piping hot, it’s all cooked in a open kitchen and the smells are Devine. The setting is welcoming and cosy and they do the most delicious coffees and drinks and the desserts are yummy !!

We to using this place and extremely happy 👍🏻

Deliciosa, sabrosa, comida recién cocinada. Visitamos el restaurante por primera vez y no nos decepcionó. El lugar es acogedor y los propietarios son muy amables. Incluso adaptaron un plato del menú para mi hija vegana. Sin duda volveremos cuando seamos los próximos en Otley.

So long Bruno! thank you for your 25 years of excellent food and service...good luck! Excellent coffee very hot with an extra shot made to perfection (far better than surrounding cafes that refuse to make them extra hot) and italian biscuits and delicious pastas with service with a smile. Bruno is so friendly and neighborly and I have been going there for 20 years. I am a big fan...
