The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

This is a really lovely family-run restaurant, in the middle of Coleford and with a free car park conveniently situated next to it. The service was excellent; really friendly, patient and caring with great attention to detail and frequent checking (from our waitress Gayana) to ensure everything was okay with us. It was a warm and comfortable environment and the food was of high quality (see photos). A most enjoyable meal complemented with tasty desserts and coffee. We'll definitely return next time we are in the area!

Lovely service, amazing authentic northern Italian cuisine. I eat out in London a lot but especially trying to find good local Italian joints. just. utterly. delicious. will be going back again and again!!

You just can't go wrong in Oli and Joe's in Prudhoe. The staff are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious and well within the budget. I could eat here everyday if the week, it's that fabulous.

We came to this restaurant by accident as we had gone into the Jasmine Thai restaurant opposite but left because they only take cash. We were both pleasantly pleased with the food. It was excellent and authentic short menu calamari and mozzarella to start with seafood linguine and an excellent rustic liver dish with mashed potatoes and green beans. Lovely food and we had a dessert fantastic tiramisu, wine list really excellent thoroughly enjoyed it will be coming back. Slightly awkward seating arrangements I think it could be laid out a little better, but that’s a minor issue. Need acushion on the chair! Reasonably priced as well and staff very nice.

There was eleven of us we all ordered different items from the menu and all the food arrived hot and well presented and enjoyable the atmosphere was nice reasonable priced worth going again

My friend and I were visiting Crosby and decided to stop for lunch. Food OK but service awful. Young girl pleasant, can't say the same about the older woman who served our food. No smile, no pleasantries, i wouldn't say she was rude but her attitude wasn't. If you work in hospitality, be hospitable. A smile goes a long way. Won't go back.

Went here last night for a meal with my family. Most amazing food! The staff are very friendly and attentive. We all had 4 different meals and not one thing was left on our plates at the end. Highly recommend!

My pizza was actually ok, but the real test of any business is how they respond when things go wrong. My friend chipped a tooth on a foreign object in her pizza, so naturally stopped eating it. When this was pointed out to the owner/waiter, he mumbled something to the effect that the tomatoes in their pizzas weren't their responsibility, and then presented us with the full bill. No acknowledgment. No apology. No "What can we do to fix this?" Very poor. Won't be going back.

Fantastic lunch with family. 5/5 for food and service. Thank you to Giuseppe, Sarah and the team, for looking after us. A great start to the season's excesses!!

We had a wonderful meal. I had the steak risotto and my husband had prawns and pasta. Both meals were really lovely. We would definitely go again the next time we visit Wootton Bassett

This had been my favourite pizza place for the longest time -- we have spent so much money there over the years -- but after my partner was violently sick several hours after consuming the Wicker Man pizza (nduja, pepperoni etc), and continued to throw up throughout the night, as well as suffering high temperature and severe aches, it's rather ended my love affair with the place. When I informed the manager about what had happened, and let him know I had contacted Food Safety Waltham Forest, he said 'it's unlikely to be our kitchen' then quibbled over how long food poisoning takes to kick in. He said it wouldn't be food poisoning if it only took 2 hours. NHS England says: "Sometimes [symptoms] start after a few hours or not for a few weeks." Good to know.

1.after not having breakfast because I was excited to having our special anniversary lunch. So disappointed!!It was an awful veggie meal. Didn’t eat my bruschetta.Slice of bread with beef chopped tomatoes. Main meal worse. A truffle resotto. A few mushrooms and rice over cooked with that test of vegetables oil. Could not eat it awful.

Not enough staff and food appalling. My sister and I ordered Tuscan soup to start (which I had ordered before and liked) but it was totally inedible as it tasted sour as if it was off and we had to send it back, so just had bread that came with it. My main was spaghetti bolognaise which has very little sauce and had to ask for more. The dessert I had was chocolate cake with mascapone cream. The cake itself was heavy and there was only a teaspoon of mascapone cream served with it so again had to ask for more. So the starter, main and dessert were all disappointing. They also didn't have any mash which was meant to come with my sister's main.

A regular stop off for us for an excellent coffee & light bite to eat. Julian, the owner & all his staff are very friendly servicing the best coffee in Twickenham 👌

Four of us visited for our son’s birthday on a midweek evening and were all hugely impressed by the quality of the food and portion size all washed down with a very gluggable Valpolicella. It was a fairly quiet night and yet four different dishes were delivered piping hot in surprisingly good time and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely visit again to try some of the other food from their appetising menu.
