The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

As a regular customer to Rays Italian, both my wife and myself would like to thank Stacey for another wonderful meal last night. We love all things Italian and this restaurant certainly presses all the right buttons for us... What do we like about Rays Italian? Not just the great food but the staff are always so welcoming and attentive. Best wishes Mark & Jan Laming.

First time here and not disappointed. We chose to the early dining menu which at £20.95 was a bargain. Two courses and a glass of wine or a soft drink and the house wines, red, white and rose were all very palatable. The welcome, staff and service were first class. For a special menu the choices were unusually extensive and could meet everyones taste. We weren't rushed and had lots if time to chat anx enjoy the delicious food. We'll be eating here again when we next visit the town.

Si mangia discretamente bene ,simpaticamente abbiamo chiesto un piccolo sconto ma lui è veramente una persona del c…o ,dicendo che loro pagano le tasse e noi in Italia no ,quindi non si può fare nessuno sconto ;ridicolo vero !!!rimanesse a londra noi torniamo in Italia a pagare le tasse 😆

Absolute shambles , we reserved a table for 9 3-4 weeks before our booking, paid a deposit the week before and pre-order as requested. When we arrived the place was chaotic, after 20 minutes we managed to order a drink and after 45 minutes our table still wasn’t ready. The staff told us the table would be ready in 5 minutes and then served cake to the party on the table we had booked . We gave up eventually , even the owner wasn’t in control and no one was either apologetic or actually tried to solve the problem , they just expected us to wait . At least 2 other parties were in the state as us - please avoid this restaurant unless your are on a diet .

Lovely restaurant and staff doing a great job. This traditional Italian is always reliable - taken over by new people and just as before has reliable tasty Italian food and great service. Good pizzas, pasta and lots more Italian favourites. I had a tasty salmon in tomato sauce and tasty veg. The tiramisu is also unmissable ! Well done to all. X

We’ve been to this restaurant so many times and it’s always 5/5! Ambience and service is always fantastic Food is always delicious and fresh with lots of variety Drinks are really reasonably priced All in all love it and we’ll continue to come here!

We visited while on holiday in the village after reading the reviews on here. The restaurant is small but didn’t feel awkward at all - just glad we booked! The pasta dishes were all delicious and everything was very reasonably priced. Lovely friendly waitress and atmosphere was perfect. Definitely give this place a visit if you’re staying in Ingleton!

Lovely lunch, very reasonably priced, very close to the beach. Staff were all great. Big portions too

Locale accogliente, proprietari disponibili e affabili. Cucina salentina doc a Londra con prodotti di qualità. Consiglio agli amanti della cucina genuina.

We went for a meal here on holiday and so nice repeated the experience the next night. Food excellent ( arancini to die for) but could not fault anything. The service was great too. Would have returned the next night too if we had not been going home.

Deliciosa cena improvisada en este lugar encantador. Gran ambiente, viendo desde los taburetes de los bares como los chefs hábilmente preparan y sirven la comida. Comida italiana fresca y auténtica servida con estilo y pasión. Una verdadera delicia.

Saturday 8.45pm to be told kitchen is closed! Unbelievable

Friendly welcoming staff! Quick service. Nice atmosphere. And excellent food. This was our first time at this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint.

Cinco de nosotros fuimos aquí el pasado viernes 6 de diciembre de 2024 tuvimos una gran noche de comida y vino y un personal encantador, 100% recomiendo este restaurante escondido. Gracias por una gran noche.

Unfortunately the Luxury Ice Cream Company online menu is wrong. I was there on Sunday afternoon intending to have a banana split and buy my grand-daughter a Biscoff sundae but neither of these was on offer. The LICC did not respond to my email the day before our visit and their telephone number was not recognised. Having said that, the ice cream we did have was delicious.
