The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Overall, Figaro’s dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food and attentive service was charming. Everyone enjoyed their meal, will definitely be returning.

Brilliant place. I went to this restaurant hoping for some good food and was not disappointed. As soon as we sat, we where offered a drink. Shortly afterwards we ordered food. We took the pollo de fungi and the vegetarian pizza. When I tell you that it was amazing I was not lying. The pasta was creamy and just perfectly cooked while the pizza was brilliant. The dough was nice and light while also fluffy. The staff were insanely polite and were great. The gelato was nice and creamy while also not to sweet but not to sour. Overall this was a outstanding place and I will definitely come to here again one day.

Excellent meal - Food and service were brilliant. First went to La Lupa in the late 1970's just after it opened. It has been variable at times over the years but the present owners are exceptional providing a warm welcome in clean and comfortable surroundings with excellent food.

This is a wonderful semi independant Italian establishment. I visted with some work colleagues and both the service and the food were far beyond expectation. The food was excellent, even though I 'just' had a pizza it was so much more than expected. It was light and full of flavours - way beyond some others Pizza places I have frequented. The lady who welcomed us and served us was refreshingly pleasant and couldn't do enough to look after us and ensure our evening was the best it could be. If you're in Stratford, do yourself a favour and try out this fairly new place, you'll not be dissappointed

Well, managed to get an early table for a family tea. Service was splendid - even when my loud son was shouting for assistance/ apologies he is autistic and is über friendly and loud. The meal was fantastic and served speedily, extremely tasty starters, main...

I go to this restaurant to meet a very special and dear friend and we always have a lovely meal. A long and chatty lunch where we are served so nicely and never rushed. We ate here on Thursday 12 September 2024 and it was as usual a very good standard. We had pate and a prawn cocktail for starters. Chicken and salmon for mains and it was all really delicious, such a treat. The starters came with toast and butter and the mains were with mixed vegetables. We then decided to ditch the diets and we had a tiramisu each! The whole meal was so nice, we had a bottle of wine, a beer and two coffees. We were not rushed in any way and could take our time to chat. To those who complain about the prices, honestly, you should try eating out in Manchester city centre. This place is great value for money. Overall, a very decent meal, good service and a good atmosphere. Thank you so much Puccinis for being there when we need you.

Qué sorpresa descubrir una pequeña joya de un restaurante. La elección del menú fue variada y la comida se preparó por encargo. La calidad de los platos era fantástica, tan bien presentado y abundante. El personal tan amable nada demasiado problema para ellos. Encontramos el lugar tan bueno que fuimos de nuevo la semana siguiente y todo fue igual de bueno. Incluso el chef salió a charlar y explicar la fuente de la comida y tener una pequeña charla con sus clientes. Buen toque. No puedo recomendar Piccolos demasiado no quiero que se invada. Bromeando realmente sugieren si usted está buscando un lugar que tiene buen servicio excelente comida a un buen precio llegar a ti mismo a Piccolo Bistro 👍👍👍👍👍

Best vegan pizza I have ever eaten. My husband, who normally doesn't like vegan food, split it with me, and he agreed it tasted great. Delicious oat milk latte too. And my server Jane was delightful.

Beautiful food! We enjoyed Arancini, fillet steak, sea bass & lasagne. Staff are very pleasant. Also dog friendly. Will definitely visit again. Thank you!

Sorrento was lovely. Food was real nice and fresh and very reasonably priced. Can beat a proper traditional lasagne with a nice glass of red. Totally recommend to others.

The atmosphere is this restaurant was perfect, the lighting, decor and music made it feel warm and welcoming. For starter I had the arancini which was unreal so cheesy and crisp. For main I had the lasagne which was also very delicious, the tomato sauce tasted so fresh and authentic. The service was amazing, very attentive staff.

Went in about 2pm on a Thursday so it was quiet. Only a small place but had a wonderful, welcoming staff, quick service and the pizza was served fast, got and was delicious.

Fantastic food as always. Lovely, friendly and professional staff. Great atmosphere and ambiance. One tiny quibble though is the poor condition of the car park. My 88 year old Mother had trouble walking over the terrible uneven ground in the car park. Need to get it sorted Bellinis.

Sadly to say this is supposedly one of the best restaurants in Clacton is very misleading, my starter wasn’t available and then when my main came the veg was over cooked and the mash potato was lumpy and a horrible colour and very poorly presented, upon closer inspection around the restaurant there was lots of flys around and it is looking like it’s a little run down, when an elderly gentleman entered the restaurant the staff pounced on him and then kept sitting with him on his table before he could even order food, it made me wonder if I was eating in a “adult” venue the way they were pouncing on him

ad to ask for them back to use. Food portions are a little smaller but the food was ok/nice. What really left me feeling disappointed is that I asked to purchase several gift vouchers for family for meals as Xmas gifts, the waitress seemed really pleased with this and said she would send the manager over to sort this, only for her to come back and to be told I had to pay for them by cash? I'm not sure if this is the norm or what could be a valid reason for this, but I didn't have nearly £300 in cash on me. Suffice to say they lost out on a nearly £300 purchase because they wouldn't take a card payment.
