The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

La scala was an all around great experience! They had plenty of gluten free options & everything was delicious! The staff was friendly & although they were busy, they spent time at your table, making you feel that you were the most important! Thank you for a great meal ! Best food since we arrived in the UK

Another visit to one of our favourite restaurants. As usual the food was excellent. Filetto Rosetti and Linguine Carbonara, both cooked to perfection and with beautiful presentation. Desert of tiramisu and a nicely presented cheese board, Full marks to Rosettis and the team.

The restaurant accommodated all our requests, vegetarian option, vegan option and the option to bring a celebration cake. The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. 10/10. ⭐️

A family run business with a warm welcome, drinks offered straight away along with the menus. The menu offered a bit of everything single meat choice or a trio, I went for the chicken with black pudding with pepper sauce you can have veg or...

Fantastic evening. Excellent food, fresh and delicious. Friendly service and welcoming ambiance. How lucky the people of St Neots are to have this restaurant. If you live locally and haven’t been go - you won’t be disappointed.

Hopefully this will be seen bye the owner, being coming to the restaurant for 18years. but to day we came in for Sunday lunch very poor ordered lasagna , spaghetti Bolognese and beef dinner not 1 meal was nice this is not the usual standard of this restaurant not sure what went wrong and was not ask once how our meal was

We used to love Ciao and was hoping for an amazing Italian. Social just lacked that friendly, Italian feel. Service lacks warmth and personality. It was quiet enough to take the time to smile at least and engage with the customers. Food is nice enough but cold and not presented brilliantly. Tiramisu had hair in it and rubbish bag left in the hallway as you walked to toilets. One of my little girls banged her head and the bar staff just looked over and carried on laughing and chatting. Ciao used to make the children feel special and that’s why they wanted to eat there! Food is expensive for what it is.

It is so sad that this friendly family run venue is closing on New Year's Eve.we have never had a bad meal there. Our best wishes to you all and thank you.

Good food and lovely friendly staff. We've been going here for a lot of years and are always looked after and well fed. Thanks

Probably one of the best place to eat in town. Everything is perfect. 🤙🥰❤️

Recommended on TripAdvisor, the Marina Vista Restaurant lived up to all the star 5🌟 reviews! Delicious food & a relaxing atmosphere with lovely views of the water The staff were friendly and checked several times to see if everything was OK. The food was plentiful and tasted devine, penne pasta cooked al dente and loads of King Prawns & shrimps in my dish. We also ordered the calabrese pasta which tasted very fresh and was a large portion We will be back for sure!!!!

Before 2pm, I decided to treat myself to a Fat Toni's for lunch, I'm clicking through the delivery process on their website (I had elected to use their own website, rather than a third party site like Uber eats, in an effort to support the business itself) and I reach the part where you select when you want the pizza delivered. I have used the website to order a delivery many times, and am familiar with the ASAP option for delivery, which gives you a <60mins (for example) estimate. This time it said <192mins, I'm thinking, well yes, naturally it will take less than 3.2 hours for the pizza to be made and delivered, so , I continue. Imagine my surprise, when after I have checked out, and spent the £26 for my lunch, that I won't in fact be getting it in time for lunch, but for dinner at 5pm. Estimated delivery time, 5pm. In what world, does it take upwards of 3 hours to fulfill a pizza order from a pizzeria on a Friday early afternoon? I thought I might have made a mistake and the store didn't open until 4, no, it opened at 1. In what world does someone order a pizza at 2, that wants to receive it at 5? I assumed, as has been the case with my previous orders, that the estimate was to give themselves a safety net, it won't be any longer than 2 hours, but it's likely to be less than 1 (for example). Why give me the option to choose ASAP, 2pm,3pm,etc if the earliest time it can be delivered for is 5pm? And really, CAN that be as SOON as POSSIBLE? Because I wanted lunch, and not dinner, I looked into cancelling the order, alas, can't be done. The order for the pizza they presumably will not start making for at least another 2 and a half hours, cannot be cancelled. My desire for the pizza has since worn off, but I guess, I'll be seeing it at 5pm whether I like it or not.

Worst carbonara I’ve ever had. I don’t usually order this because so many places don’t know how to cook it properly but I thought I’d be safe in an Italian restaurant with such good reviews, but my main really was like a bland cream soup with boiled spaghetti floating in it. And with very pale and huge strips of bacon that looked boiled and very unappetising. Basically everything a carbonara shouldn’t be. It’s so frustrating when an Italian restaurant doesn’t know how to cook a classic Italian dish. However, the starter and pudding were fine and the rest of our party enjoyed their meals so maybe I just choose the wrong thing (hence the 3 and not 2 stars).

On the off chance we popped on on a busy Saturday on bank holiday weekend . We’re lucky to get a table as the weather had been bad and it was quieter than expected. Owner was chatty and friendly, as were the staff. Food all delicious. Loved that I had a jug of lime to pour in my soda!

Turned up for table booked for pre-theatre lunch only to find it is now called Salt & Pepper!!! Only taking cash and was almost empty at 1.30. Food was lovely however so hopefully they will get sorted soon!!!
