The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Quirky venue in a small alley way (don’t be put off !). Friendly welcome, vibrant atmosphere. Menu with just the right amount of choice (not too much) Food was delicious and good value too. Highly recommended.

We were in London for 5 days and had such a great experience for lunch here that we went back for dinner a few days later. Andre and his staff are pros. Unbelievable food (that rivals any Italian restaurant in the city) at a great price with impeccable service that brings you back. The ambience is wonderful.

Had been meaning to try for years, given the reputation. Have to say the experience was overall a little disappointing. The ambiance was great, staff were friendly, and enjoyed the overall experience of the restaurant & spending time with the family on my wife’s birthday. However there were a few negatives with the food which means despite the ambiance we probably won’t be going back. 1) Chicken was dry, & you need to order veg separately. Given my wife was the only one that didn’t order pasta, she had to order greens & potatos at £5.95 each which was enough for 2-3 people. 2) Mixed seafood starter contained prawns in shells that basically disappeared by the time you removed the shells 3) The pasta with strips of beef - the beef was tough & difficult to chew I didn’t say anything at the time as it was my wife’s birthday & didn’t want to put a dampener on the evening. We were asked if it was a special occasion & we said it was my wife’s birthday, but this wasn’t recognised in any way, which I sssume was due to the fact we were in the early sitting & needed to vacate by 8:30pm (we literally finished everything bang on 8:30)

Small bar, service and drinks ok,

Food and service excellent. Would definitely recommend. Good atmosphere and busy. Waiter very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed our meal there

Food tastes good and the atmosphere was nice. A small group of us went early evening and enjoyed our visit. 1 thing to improve on. Staff need more comprehensive menu training as we had to translate some menu items into English as we got blank looks when using the menu names for the dishes.

Tasty pizza, amazing service , loved the guy who took our orders , charming and funny , honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve had .

It was our first time of visiting Gianni’s and soo glad that we found this hidden gem! We hadn’t made a booking but they fitted us in. We waited for our table in a cosy room with a cosy fire and we only waited for about ten minutes. The restaurant setting/environment is modern and attractive. Gianni’s serves good wine and delicious food. We ordered a bottle of Chianti which complimented our meal of bruschetta for starters followed by lasagna and cheesy garlic bread. Our starter was full of different flavours and absolutely delicious. The lasagna was one of the best that I’ve ever tasted! Don’t take any notice of some of the negative reviews on here about bad service because we experienced good service with friendly staff. Would I go back……..most definitely next time I’m in Scarborough! Thank you Gianni’s!

Lovely meal out great atmosphere really tasty food great service. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Atmosphere was bang on and it felt like Italy.

Excellent place, very authentic cuisine!

When you want some old school Italian comfort food, look no further. We had Pizza, excellent and lasagne, pretty good. I also had a glass of house Sangiovese which was lovely. We are working our way through the restaurants in Scarborough and will definitely return to this one on regular basis, especially when we fancy a pizza. I wouldn’t be surprised if everything on the menu is tasty and made with good ingredients. Can’t wait to sample a few more things,

3rd visit... and again outstanding service and quality of food.... atmosphere good.... looked after us again ...... fillet steak and deep fried camembert to start. lovely ... see you again

Breakfast at Luciano’s is always great, lovely staff, good food, and nice atmosphere. Really recommend the breakfast bruchette al salmone

Este lugar es un gran lugar para tener un almuerzo delicioso y una gran experiencia, el lugar está brillando con un ambiente acogedor y te recomendaría encarecidamente que almorzaras aquí!

An absolute gem of a restaurant, we thoroughly enjoy everything about this place, the menu, the staff, the food, the service, as far as we are concerned it is all perfect.
