The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Went for a meal out with a group of mates. Exceptional food, fantastic service. Staff were very friendly and incredibly attentive. Manager is also a very friendly and approachable bloke. Good, friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended and we’ll be back for sure!

Atendió una conferencia de más de 100 personas. Las pizzas estaban deliciosas. Definitivamente planeando hacer pedidos / catering para cualquier evento en el futuro

These pizzas are incredible! At first glance, you might think £16 for a pizza is steep, until you see the size of it!! Leftovers for days!! The pizzas are so delicious, it's our go-to for pizza in Portishead. They're not thick or stodgy, and they don't leave a dry taste in your mouth in the middle of the night like a Dominos/Pizza Hut/Pizza Go Go would. Fresh ingredients and more authentic Italian pizzas. The staff are very friendly too! Would highly recommend the 'Vincenzo' if you're a fan of spice!

Really great place for an Italian, extremely reasonably priced and really nice vibe. If you want a more authentic family run restaurant then this is the one for you - one of my favourite places !

Fuimos a Akentannos anoche (9 de mayo de 2025). La comida era absolutamente deliciosa y el servicio era impecable! Este pequeño restaurante en Sharron Vale Road es una joya absoluta. Tiene un ambiente tranquilo encantador a pesar de que está bastante ocupado cuando fuimos un viernes por la noche, y es perfecto para la conversación y genial para parejas que quieren una comida íntima. Hay un montón de opciones vegetarianas, veganas y sin gluten, recién cocinadas y una delicia para comer. El servicio fue perfecto. Las dos camareras que nos sirven eran muy amables y dispuestos a compartir información sobre las raíces sardas de la comida y el vino sardo encantador. Tenían el equilibrio perfecto de atención y dejarnos solos cuando no estábamos pidiendo nada activamente. Te dejan mucho tiempo para terminar tu comida y no te apuran, creo que fuimos los últimos en llegar el viernes, pero todavía no nos gustaba irnos! Sin duda volvería a ir de nuevo y recomendaría este restaurante cualquier día.

The food is very tasty and decent sized portions. Every single one of the staff members are friendly, attentive and the atmosphere is lovely. Definitely will become my regular cafe break stop.

Best italian in town!! Amazing food, drinks and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit :)

Tuvimos una noche encantadora en Buccelli's. Hemos comido en muchos restaurantes italianos a lo largo de los años y encontramos el estilo striptease - espalda para ser auténtico y refrescante. Nuestros platos fueron la ensalada caprese y bruschetta de hongos para empezar; luego carbonara y pasta de salchichas toscanas para la red; luego pan de cannolo y panettone - y - pudín de mantequilla para el postre. Para las bebidas, comenzamos con un cóctel Negroni (excelente) y una cerveza, luego vinos por copa y un digestif para terminar. Era viernes por la noche y la mayoría de las mesas estaban ocupadas. El personal era amable y eficiente - no hay largas esperas, pero nunca nos sentimos apresurados. Nuestra única crítica (menor) es que los especiales ya estaban agotados, lo que parecía extraño dada nuestra mesa relativamente temprana. Sin duda volveríamos a visitar - y también recomendaría a cualquiera que valora la calidad sobre la cantidad.

Nice pizzas, but ... We had takeaway, but the prices are still "restaurant", so it is quite expensive :-(

Very delicious moroccan food. The staff are so friendly. However, the order takes long time to be prepared.

Another super meal. Lovely setting and decor, great food and brilliant service. Will be returning.

service was excellent. food was very nice, good portions but there was no one there when we arrived.

Awful from start to finish. Young girl waitress jumper covering hands and pink crocs on. All drinks from bottles and cans! Poor olives. Waited far too long for god awful dishes. Seafood risotto was chewy and inedible. Cannelloni meat tasted like dog meat. I'm going to guess frozen, reheated in the microwave which we saw, then in oven to make like lava. Mondello should not call himself a chef serving the nonsense we just saw. I hope people read this and stick to an actual Italian.

My wife, Angela, and I visited this lovely eatery along Station Road in North Chingford last Wednesday evening. We were met with Silvo's and Orazio's customary warmth and shown to our table. The decor remains unchanged: romantic lighting with delightful prints of Italian locations on the walls. The background music was brilliant and set at the right decibel level. Armed with a perfectly concocted Aperol Spritz, and to the accompaniment of polite chatter and laughter from the diners already there, we made our selection from a wide-ranging menu, especially when you include their specials' board. Angela went for the Avocado Crab and Prawns followed by the Saltimbocca; I chose the Prusciutto e Melone and also followed it by the Saltimbocca: all the meals were fresh and perfectly prepared in taste and texture. This culinary perfection was baptised with a brilliant Primitivo: an Italian red with a hint of sweetness, which complemented our meal admirably. We then found room for dessert: the wonderful Alfredo concoction that had Angela drooling, and I demolished the Apple Tart drizzled with Amaretto - delicious! We concluded the gastronomic extravaganza with lemon tea, black Americano, and black Sambucas. Plus, we had complimentary drinks from our gracious host - grazie mille and muito obrigado, Silvo. What makes this place so special is the genuine warmth and friendship from all there, where you can feel right at home and bask in the ambience of great food, chat, and laughter. Our compliments to the chefs for their artistry. Until the next time, have a great Easter, keep happy, and be safe. Ciao.

The food was just OK , the waitress was very rude. Went with a friend and my two grand daughters, both girls very well behaved. The waitress seemed to be concerned about them, might have had a bad previous experience with kids before, I do not know… but it was enough for my grand daughter to stand up from her seat for her to get dismissive and asked her to sit down. She was just standing up by own table. It really made us feel very uncomfortable and we will certainly not come back.
