The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Great pizza! Nice range of bases and gluten free well catered for. The toppings are high quality and the Mortadella on pizza my wife had was tasty and plentiful. It’s not cheap but pizzas are massive and service was very good. The waitress even gave my wife a tip of a gluten free app in your local city. Some good craft beer on the menu if that’s your thing. Perfect location to cool bars, pubs and shops.

Such a lovely time! The food is tasty! And the staff really nice! Sandy took great care of us and was patient when I still didn’t know what to order :)

Very good food served with great panache by "Sergio" in a busy happy atmosphere. A very enjoyable Italian home cooked meal.

First class meal celebrating our wedding anniversary’ Lovely atmosphere. Friendly service and a shout out to Jodie our waitress! Food was piping hot and delicious’ Can’t wait to go back! Thank you to all the staff.

This was our second visit so our expectations were already set and the evening was superb in every way. This restaurant is an absolute gem - such fabulous food, attentive friendly service and wonderful atmosphere. Most definitely the best Italian food we have ever eaten and we can see why the restaurant has built up the incredible reputation that it has. We can’t wait to go back. Stand out dishes were the beef ragu, tiramisu and crème brûlée, but in time we hope to work our way through the menu and try some of the other fabulous dishes.

We love visiting here...it must be monthly if not more 😂 always friendly staff and great food.

Good food and close to the Torquay harbour. Aggie is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. One of the 3 favourite places to eat out for both Andrew and myself.

Pircio was an unforgettable experience! The chicken sheesh was the best I’ve ever had, and everything else, including the chocolate fudge cake, was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the personal happy birthday singing made the evening extra special. Highly recommend!

Once we got seated, no one served us for a good 15 minutes, until I got up and asked if we could be served and ended up getting brushed off. Until my partner asked Adel if we could sit in his section, as soon as he seated us, he served us straight away. And he was absolutely lovely and a great waiter! He turned our frowns upside down and we were able to enjoy the rest of our night there. Thank you Adel!!

Dropped in for lunch since we know the Simply Italian at Eastbourne and it's the same menu and style. Waitress was very charming and helpful but , dare I say it? , the pizza wasn't as good as Eastbourne, but still very good. My usual is marguerita plus pepperoni, and there was a more generous portion of pepperoni but the pizza was a bit 'wetter' underneath so I had to use a knife and fork. But still, love having fresh pizza out of the oven - you can't beat it.

I went to this restaurant recently, and honestly, it was a pretty frustrating experience. The staff seemed friendly at first, but the service was super slow. We waited 40 minutes without getting a single dish, and only when we asked a waiter did they check on our order. After that, it still took 10 minutes for the appetizers to show up, and another 10 for the mains. No one checked in with us during the meal, and honestly, the food wasn’t even that great—just average. The owner did give us a free dessert as an apology, which was nice, but it doesn’t make up for how bad the overall experience was. I wouldn’t bother coming back.

Yet another fabulous experience for a large group of people. Tiggi’s has been our go to choice for a Christmas meal for 20 plus people for a number of years They make booking and ordering so easy and it takes the headache out of organising it. Then on the night the service is just fabulous with the food and drink brought out quickly, they make it easy for people to order drinks and pay as individuals. The food is delicious with something for everybody. Thank you Tiggi’s

Took our student sonnfor a lovely meal...I grew up in Headingley and now live in Manchester...Salvos still going strong after all these years.

I really love it at The Pasta Factory - this is the second year in a row where I have spent my birthday here! The staff are very friendly and the vegetarian food is so tasty. I also love the vegan parmesan they sell at the door and frequently pop in to top up my reserve as it goes so well with pasta at home! 🥳

Kind service, fair prices, and excellent Sicilian food! Even the arancini were well done. Recommended
