The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Cozy and pleasant restaurant, Very friendly staff I loved the food He recommended it 100%by 100%

This restaurant has to surely be one of the best around Hornchurch for a taste of Italian and Mediterranean food. A family run eatery led by husband and wife team Enzo and Gina serves excellent food, providing first class service, ambience and value is second to none. Thanks for another great evening guys.

A delightful, authentic restaurant, serving delicious, fresh pasta. We carb loaded here the night before Brighton marathon, and had a fab takeaway pizza afterwards. Loved the totelloni and the prawn spaghetti. Friendly service. Lovely puddings too.

Very enjoyable evening with delicious food and attentive service. Would highly recommend and looking forward to our next visit already.

We chanced upon Mario's on Valentine's. We didn't have a reservation but still got a table- it was nicely busy. The food was excellent with great veggie options. Had a lovely chat to Mario who was really friendly and welcoming. And it was reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

I put a negative review here. However credit where credit is due, the restaurant reached out and we are all good. Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding…

The food was lovely. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff was kind and friendly. La Stella is a highly recommended visit. Thank you for such a lovely time.

Post cinema Vue 02 y una cena ligera en routehome. Tres de nosotros. Un cálido saludo de Emmie, una super mesa, agua y menús. Siempre me divierte, el servicio nocturno viene con manteles. Flores frescas siempre 🌹. Sí, he tomado mi nueva marsala habitual, de ternera y setas, patatas asadas de romero y una pequeña ensalada con aderezo balsámico fabuloso. Mis amigos tenían pescado de bacalao con patatas fritas! Todo maravilloso. Una copa de vino cada uno. Tratada como realeza (Emmie, gracias). La mejor comida de restaurante en un ambiente frío y súper valor 👍❤️🥳

Authentic family run restaurant with nice Italian atmosphere. Good menu all freshly cooked. This is our 3rd visit and we will be back next time we visit Southport. PS Free parking.

A great local Italian in the former Lee Green post office. Family owned and run with a long menu (which normally starts alarm bells but in this case doesn’t!). The staff are amazing and great with kids while the food is hearty, tasty and very good value for money. Definitely recommended.

We ordered 16 takeaway pizza's including gluten free and vegan. They went down great with the team! Very tasty gluten free, so much so that left overs were taken home. Would highly recommend if you are gluten free and/or vegan. (the non gluten free/vegan pizza's were great too!)

Llevó a mi familia a conocer amigos aquí todos tuvimos diferentes entrantes y principales puedo decir que nadie estaba decepcionado mi hamburguesa era malvada y mi pareja dijo que la suya era encantadora y el personal era muy amable. Volveremos pronto gracias chicos

I really enjoyed this pizza. I ate on the pavement watching the world go by I’m the characterful Exmouth Market. Service was very nice and they are really dog friendly - dog treats, not just a water bowl! It’s a good spot.

Had lunch here with three friends on August bank holiday Monday during the Sandwich Festival when the restaurant was fairly busy but not packed. We all ordered pizzas and then waited a very long time noticing that other customers who had arrived later were being served before us. One pizza arrived 25 mins after ordering and we waited another 10 minutes for the other three. All came on disposable plates with flimsy disposable wooden cutlery which proved incapable of sawing through the tough pizza base which had not been pre-cut into segments. After breaking two forks and making no impression on the pizza base with the knife I asked for metal cutlery and was informed that they had none. When I explained the problem and expressed my unhappiness the waiter shrugged his shoulders and wandered off leaving me no option but to tear my pizza into pieces with my bare hands. Thereafter no member of staff paid any attention to us and I had to go to the counter to order desserts and pay the bill. If you insist on eating here I recommend bringing your own cutlery.

La comida era muy promedio - se ve bien, pero soso Nos echaron 1. 5 horas después nos sentamos a pesar de que pedimos una botella de vino y 5 platos ... simplemente por la razón de que querían acomodar a 4 personas a nuestro lado que pusieron en una mesa de 2 personas. No recomendaría este lugar, ya que podría ser expulsado en cualquier momento!
