The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Passing through Mirfield on the navigation on a Saturday, couldn't be bothered to cook so sought out something a little more upmarket than the pub's burgers. This restaurant is around 3/4 mile out of town and at first sight situated in a less than ideal location, next to an industrial/trading estate. But once through the doors, a warm welcome - the proprietor juggled tables to make room for the three of us (around 1800) on what was otherwise a fully booked evening. We all opted for the salmon special on a bed of spinach, veg or salad side dish included at £19.50. Fish precisely cooked - big tick! The usual range of Italian puddings, and none the worse for that as they were very well done. Went off-piste with the wine, a NZ sauvignon blanc (at £28), in order to get a drier mouthful than the house white. So, around £108, before tip, for the three of us - acceptable for food and wine of this standard. Would return (with a booking!) if in the area again.

Absolutely brilliant place. Been loads now and not one complaint. Food and service are great and prices reasonable (compared to certain chain Italians 😜). Will definitely be back!

Came on a Saturday night, no booking as we walked past and thought it looked nice Service was good , food wise we ordered the cheesy garlic bread as a starter with some Olives. It was the size of an actual pizza and really delicious. Olives were really nice too The dinners were hit and miss. The risotto was quite watery and wasn't all that if I'm honest but my partner had the bolognese and it was stunning It's quite boujee in there, nice decor to justify the cost but it was lovely and wouldn't stop us coming again

Fantastic meal with partner. Waitress and chef were very accommodating and honestly the best goats cheese pasta dish I’ve had. Partners peppercorn sauce and Diane sauce was a little unique, however the steak was cooked to perfection - so perhaps the sauce was just unique to tosca’s.

Excellent food, faultless service. Specials Board was very special. Nice House red wine. If you’re in Newhaven early and waiting for your Ferry I doubt there is anywhere you’ll enjoy more.

La Nostra is local Italian. We love the food and the friendly service

Always very high standard of food. Staffs are very friendly and child friendly. Try their specials, always a nice surprise. Recently i had the scallop as starter and mixed clams linguine from special menu. It was absolutely divine.

Visited here a few times and always find the food excellent quality. The atmosphere is great, and you’re never made to feel rushed to leave your table. Great happy hour at only £18 for 3 courses.

A really authentic gastronomic delight tucked away inconspicuously in central London. Food is very tasty (I recommend the gnocchi sorrentina) and very well priced. It’s like a little bit of Italy on your doorstep. I love it!!! 🍕🍕🍕

Excellent service! We came on Saturday 21 September for a late lunch. Chiara (the waitress) was very friendly and welcoming. She greeted us with a big smile and explain the menu and specials very well. We ordered pizzas which were very good. The dessert (tiramisu) was very nice. The waiter was very professional and courteous. We will recommend Siracusa to our friends and family. We will be back! Thank you.

Great food, fantastic service and very affordable prices.

Lovely, friendly staff. Good food, reasonably priced, and good service. Booked for evening meal with friends. Tables spaced nicely so not hearing other people’s conversations. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was good, reasonably priced. Not hurried or rushed to place order or to finish courses. Definitely go again.

We ordered 125ml rose prosecco each. Glasses came out less. We queried and told correct measure. Another couple ordered exactly the same but their glasses had full 125 measure. Despite querying, it's clear given short measures. Avoid buying drinks here? Otherwise, staff friendly.

Came for a birthday lunch as a table of 10. From the moment we booked, the team were extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. On the day we were late due to traffic and still received 5* service. Food was fantastic, atmosphere was great. Definitely in my top 5 eating out experiences

An excellent local restaurant tucked off the beaten track. Excellent food and friendly service in a very pleasant little restaurant. Would certainly return.
