The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

What a wonderful host Massimo is, he always gives you such a warm welcome and what a talented team he has front of house and in the kitchen. We were four generations at the table and the menu caters for each age group. It was hard to get past the delicious warm homemade bread with olive oil and rosemary but three baskets later we did! Fabulous food, best pasta eaten almost in silence, an extensive wine list, stylish decor, real linen and great stories too -we can’t wait to return! Thank you xx

La ubicación del servicio de comida era genial. Me unió la comida muy sabrosa y el personal era tan acogedor. Sentí que hice nuevos amigos que me trataron muy bien

Amazing restaurant, fabulous place ,best Italian around . Family restaurant with the best service , couldn’t do enough for us . I will certainly be going again .

Absolutely amazing, the food was incredible (like being in Italy!), fantastic service, and really nice atmosphere. A must!

Good food and service with a smile. Always great vibes when visiting.

Visited for Valentine Night Out, excellent food, lovely staff and nicely spaced out tables , nice not to be able to hear your neighbours conversation. Lovely staff presented me with a rose at the end of the evening, lovely gesture.

The pub was brimming and over flowing to the outside with diners when we arrived. I'd heard their roast dinners were good and thought the number of people were a testament to that. Wrong! The roast (?) potatoes weren't all golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but barely cooked and a grey colour which my knife couldn't penetrate. One of the potatoes was actually black. The parsnip was not all soft and squiggy but suffered the same lack of time in the oven, if it ever saw an oven that defied my knife slicing off a piece to taste. The pork dry, and tasteless. I didn't attempt the giant Yorkshire which obviously wasn't homemade instead looked plastic. The cackling burnt. However the side dish of cabbage and carrots and the one piece of cauliflower whilst overcooked was quite tasty hence the 2 stars I think we were perhaps one of the last diners to be served so maybe we drew the short straw. I'm not however game to try again.

I knew that this pub was under new management and my friend had recently been here and said the meal was good so I thought I would invite me friends for dinner, I was not disappointed, the service, food and cosiness of the pub was excellent and would return, I had to trout and crumble and it was delicious and could of done with some more custard. Freddie who took our order and served us was exceptionally professional and funny too. Only minor point is when we were going in from the back it looked like it could do with a bit of love and pretty flowers. Look forward to returning maybe in the autumn when the fire is on.

Highly recommend. Our favourite family run Italian restaurant. The Best Italian food. salvo Valaria and staff are so friendly. The best by far.

We are a party of twelve and have just had a lovely meal the food was great and the service and staff were excellent. Would definitely recommend and we will be going again.

We popped in for takeaway pizza on our way back from the beach and after a cheeky pint at the Driftwood Spars…. This place did not disappoint, pizzas were a good size, dough was fresh and well cooked and plenty of toppings…..tasted great too! A surprise was the amount of craft beer available to purchase, well worth a visit!

March 9th 2025, 5 of us enjoyed a delicious roast Sunday lunch in celebration of my dad's 79th birthday. The meal was absolutely delicious, cooked beautifully. Well done chef! I have to comment on the roast potatoes- absolutely the best! The service was fast, friendly and very accomodating, allowing for helium filled balloons and a fancy table cloth. Bethany Fletcher and Cerys Willams, you made sure we had everything we needed and the 5 of us thank you for helping my dad to really enjoy his day. Highly recommend.

Good food, cooked in front of you, with friendly staff. Really nice restaurant and look forward to going again. Would highly recommend a visit. Matt- Kidderminster

We go here as a group on a regular basis and always have great food. The staff are friendly and good fun. We go as a group and it's never too loud, we can always hear the conversation. Prices are reasonable and food is good quality. Highly recommend Deanos. Already booked for our next meet up

We came her for my sisters birthday. The food was made fresh and all of our food was delicious. Staff were very attentive and service was great.
