The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Well, that was fun! Incredible staff, food and depth of wine list. Thank you so much!

Had been recommended this Italian by a local for a family birthday. Greeted warmly by restaurant staff, water on arrival, attentive service. Unfortunately we were next to a table that various suited/booted parents dropped 9 of their free-range charges with a handful of timid 'grown-ups' whilst en route to the Club, I suspect. Food was excellent, the staff was amazing dodging these young teenagers leaving chairs untucked in the staff's wake whilst they slammed toilet doors, daring each other to run in the kitchen and generally getting under people's feet. When they did sit down, volume control was clearly not in their gifts. Thought the restaurant staff did an excellent job at trying to make our meal an enjoyable experience despite the crèche like conditions other diners had developed. Would definitely go back but perhaps on a school night when hopefully these youths are not there. The restaurant was far from a let down but the locals certainly were.

We visited the restaurant last night and have to say it was one of the best restaurants we have been to for some time. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely beautiful. Well presented, hot and very tasty. The chef even came out to check we were happy. Haven’t experienced that for a long time. We would certainly recommend the Old Paparazzi. We will definitely be back. Oh, and I have to say, they had the cleanest toilets I have ever seen! Absolutely immaculate.

Found this restaurant in Google. So glad we did. Staff were lovely and the place has a really relaxed atmosphere. All the food we ordered was fresh and cooked to order. I would highly recommend it.

Had the best time at Ten Streets Social for our Christmas party! The band was absolutely brilliant, keeping us dancing all night long. The food was delicious, and the Santa Claus was hysterical, adding so much fun to the night. As always, the staff were amazing, making the experience even better. I absolutely love this place, and I also come here regularly for their incredible roast dinners. Can't recommend it enough!

Just had our first eat-in meal at La Bocca. The young lady who served us was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The team there made a tomato- and pepper-free pizza for my missus (not the greatest intolerance to visit a pizza restaurant, I grant you, but hey, that's how it is). My inferno pizza with extra cheese and jalapeños was superb and the Shiraz was one of the best I've tasted. Attention to service and cleanliness way up there! Definitely going there again!

I often call in here, best cuppachino in town!...great sandwiches, authentic Mediterranean atmosphere...

The 2 course set menu. is very good value. Lovely food with plenty options to choose.The service is second to none. Would recommend Portofino to everyone

Lovely pizza and excellent service. Aimee was a fantastic host and looked after us brilliantly. Would heartily recommend Franco’s Favourite

This was one of the more bizarre visits I have had to a restaurant in many years. Spectacularly diabolical!!! The waiter was nice enough but they were out of half of the already tiny list of dishes on offer. It was like “spam, spam or parmigian”! My mate got some gnocchi straight from the supermarket with some cheese only food stamps would buy (the waiter was nice enough to refund this inedible effort). My order of vitello alla Milanese with patate arroste was a big flat lump of breaded meat from a packet complete with... oven chips!! The whole time we had to listen to some bizarre argument in Spanish and Italian between the cook and the waiter. The subject seemed to be how much the former was being paid- he’s been very fortunate to have ever been paid, from what I can see!!

Came here to try out the ice cream. Had vegan chocolate, absolutely delicious. Nice that there was seating and the staff were super friendly. Would definitely go back to try other flavours.

veramente pessimo dall'accoglienza al Direttore che si sente importante e non ti dà neanche un saluto ci hanno portato una carbonara tutta attaccata e una cacio e pepe completamente con Llosa abbiamo fatto riferimento al Direttore via camerieri, ma la loro risposta è che non gli interessava perché tanto sono sempre pieni se volete scrivete una mail così ci hanno risposto vergognoso

A friend booked a table here for a before show meal and our meal was lovely and the staff super helpful and very efficient. They have a specials menu which was lovely. Food was fresh and tasted lovely. Will be eating there again when I'm back in London.

So pleased that we found this little gem in TW. The outside does not do justice to the authentic high quality food this little family restaurant provides. Lovely, friendly owners who are delighted to talk about their food and history. Its very small so probably need to book for dinner. Give it a try.

Excellent meal tonight for my birthday! Had lobster Ravioli & King Prawns with rice, staff are so friendly
