The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We had a fabulous lunch at the Ginger Italian. The crab and prawn papaya starter was fabulous and I might try this for a xmas day starter. The polpette starter was very tasty and filling Followed by a 9oz ribeye steak with a chasseur sauce 😋 The Italian menu is quite extensive and we will be back to try more dishes. Lovely staff, good amenities Definitely recommend

I wanted a friendly Italian restaurant nearby to meet some friends whom I hadn't seen for many years, somewhere we could have an unhurried meal and easy conversation. Bellini's was perfect on all counts. On arrival we were welcomed and shown to our table. The restaurant was nice and atmospheric, and everything was tidily laid out. We ordered from the Early Bird menu which we thought was really good food at a very good price. Starters were Garlic Mushrooms and Tomato Bruschetta, followed by Pollo Stroganoff, Sea bream, and Pollo Diana. The service was friendly and prompt and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We were totally unhurried and I had a great catch-up with my friends. And at the end we were offered a complimentary glass of limoncello. I think Bellini's is a gem of a restaurant in the heart of Brighouse and I look forward to my next meal there.

We hadn't eaten at Gusto for a while and when we walked in somehow it felt different. The young ladies who served us were very pleasant and helpful and our food, 2 of the 3 dishes, were excellent. The 2 were 'Vegetali Parmigani' and Lasagne al Forno (meat variety); the disappointing dish was the veggie lasagne which was rather swamped with tomato. Then I realised that I hadn't seen Giorgio so I asked where he was; he has gone! That is what felt different. He didn't do much 'front of house' but we always appreciated his smiling face and friendly welcome; also, he mixed the best ever Campari Sodas. Wil we return without Giorgio? not sure yet. Arrivederci Giorgio and grazie!

It’s great whenever we go there we have a good time 5/5 :) Excellent pasta the sauces are always amazing and the chips are delicious!

A beautiful cozy authentic Italian spot. Grazie mille for the lovely meal and atmosphere

Wonderful place for a family meal. Great service. Jo - our waitress was very helpful and looked after us nicely. We had variety of meals (including the burger and mussels) and everything was very delicious.

We came with friends in March, a large booking of 15 for a meal. We arrived promptly at 7.30 but our food didn’t come out until just after 9pm. Whilst I appreciate we were a large group, 9pm isn’t satisfactory. The waiter was lovely and clearly the issue wasn’t with him but I question why they take large bookings if you can’t accommodate a reasonable time frame for serving large parties. If I’m honest I won’t recommend or return. I wanted to feedback as clearly this is something the restaurant needs to review and improve on

First time at La Torre for us, celebrating our son & partners engagement and their birthdays. The meal was nice and the staff very pleasant & helpful.

Brilliantly authentic and atmospheric Italian restaurant!

We had a fabulous lunch here on spec. The restaurant was pretty full (no problem having our small dog with us). The maitre d’hotel was fantastic, very entertaining. The sharing burrata starter was to die for and the pizzas were very good. If only we lived near we would dine there often.

The most delicious, authentic italian food. So sad it's closed down. I hope it will open again soon. Great memories for about 7 years with my wife and son. This restaurant will be sorely missed but will remain in my memories forever.

Have great time to be here , everything is tasty , recommend for visit that place . Will be back soon .

The food was absolutely gorgeous. Hands down to the chef. We definitely order from there again. Best Italian I’ve had in a long time. The food arrived hot and on time nicely packaged. quality restaurant food and I would say as much effort was put into a home delivery meals as you would get seated within a restaurant. Totally impressed just hope I get the same next time.

Love their ice cream, lovely lady layers ice cream into you come. Get a lot and not expensive

I’ve been to the “cottage bar and bistro” twice in the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed the food on both occasions. I had the mussels to start followed by spaghetti with seafood. Both were nicely cooked with fresh seafood and very delicious. Previously I had calamari and sea-bass which were also lovely. The portion size was perfect for me. The service was efficient and the chef was able to offer an alternate for our friend who had specific dietary requirements. I will return as there are other dishes on the menu which I’d like to try.
