The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

DO NOT BOOK WITH LA BELLE. They sent out a notice to all bookings at the end of May that they were shutting down operations and that the website would be completely unavailable as of June 15th. We had our elopement dinner booked with a chef through them that we were then scrambling to find an alternative for. In the meantime, we requested a refund. After a nightmare of going back and forth over a dozen times with them, with no responses or vague responses with no follow through, I was finally able to get the refund processed- but they kept their booking fee. They decided to send out an email on June 8th- 3 days after they have disabled their website for users to manage their bookings- that they had decided they could maintain operations. But by that point, we’d already managed to book the same chef through another platform. I’ve now requested them to refund the booking fee multiple times, but they claimed they could still meet the booking so they didn’t have to, and I’ve already told them that’s not possible since that chef isn’t available to them on that night since we booked him elsewhere. They are no longer responding to any messages I’ve sent requesting the remaining balance. This business practice is completely unacceptable and untrustworthy. Do not risk your event with this shady business.

Esta es la mejor pizza napolitana que he probado en Londres. Muy conocido y popular entre los lugareños - hemos estado viniendo aquí durante años y las pizzas simplemente mejoran. Todo hecho con ingredientes auténticos importados. A los niños también les encanta, lo que es genial para darles el sabor de la pizza adecuada mientras crecen. Todo situado en un ambiente auténtico clave con un servicio eficiente y amable - el mejor lugar para comer o comprar una pizza para el hogar.

I've been here several times. The food is amazing and the place is cozy and Luigi, the manager, is a lovely italian man. Totally recommend

Bone Marrow was AMAZING Great service, superb food and decor Special wink to Dorina accommodating all my needs Will be back soon

I had high expectations after the previous reviews. We visited at 5pm on a Friday,which was happy hour and both ordered a lasagne and a salad after about 10 minutes this arrived,there was no bread or bechamel cheese sauce,I asked about the bread and was told that ,even though on the menu,you didn't get this on the happy hour which I wasn't told before and so didn't ask about the missing sauce,that some others had.I then had dessert and I wanted the Panna cotta which I was told they had,and then didnt, as I wasn't keen on chocolate or coffee,I had biscoffi cheesecake,which tasted ok but was very thick and heavy and stuck to the spoon,I mostly left this,which noone queried and I have never done this before.I was disappointed and not sure I will return.

Solíamos ser asiduos a Stecca, pero después de nuestra última visita, lo decimos claramente: nunca más. Era un sábado por la noche y el restaurante estaba completamente vacío, éramos los únicos clientes. Mientras tanto, el lugar recién abierto al lado estaba lleno. Los dueños de Stecca parecían mucho más preocupados y preocupados por el éxito de sus vecinos que por los únicos huéspedes sentados en su propio comedor. Honestamente fue surrealista. El servicio era desenfocado e indiferente. Pedimos la mezcla de mariscos fritos, que resultó ser un desastre: calamares congelados, insípidos, sin absolutamente ninguna atención a la calidad. Incluso si está en el menú, es un plato que debe evitarse por completo. La peor parte vino con la pasta. Claramente habíamos pedido un plato a base de pescado, pero nos trajeron una pasta de pato y trufa, un plato completamente diferente, con un sabor a pato abrumador y sin presencia real de trufa en absoluto. Inmediatamente señalamos el error. El personal, claramente desmotivado, dijo que podría cambiarlo. Pero ya eran las 10 de la noche, y no queríamos esperar aún más, así que dijimos que lo mantendríamos. Ahora, los errores ocurren, pero lo que realmente importa es cómo los manejas. Y en este caso, no hubo disculpas, ni tranquilidad, ni amabilidad. En todo caso, se sentía como si nos estuvieran culpando pasivamente por elegir comer el plato equivocado en lugar de esperar. Nos hizo sentir incómodos e incómodos, y terminamos comiéndolo más por cortesía y fatiga que por cualquier otra cosa. Y sí, nos dejó con un regusto realmente desagradable, en todos los sentidos. ¿En el momento del pago? Sin gesto, sin reconocimiento, nada. En resumen: cocina mediocre, servicio inexistente, y cero atención a las personas sentadas en sus mesas. Stecca parece más enfocada en su próspera competencia al lado que en valorar a los clientes leales y que regresan. Ya no seremos uno de ellos.

Booked on line for 6 o clock on the 4th of January the restaurant was closed on arrival there was no mention of this on there web site why did they take my booking? Very disappointed.

I believe it has just reopened with new owners. Awful. Paid £8 for beans on toast and almost £4 for a very small bottle of coke. They had no brown bread and the white bread was a supermarket's value brand at best. And to top it off I was charged a 10% service charge (not optional). Steer clear

Great restaurant as always! Had the Sunday Sauce special - OMG! Particular highlight was the service, from our server Greg, who was very attentive and super knowledge about wines! Highly recommend

The food was delicious 😋, and the staff were so friendly…I really felt welcomed😁..the atmosphere was amazing and the decor was so modern…I’m a big fan and they have gotten so used to me being there that I feel part of the sun pizza family 😊

Need an ice cream you won't forget? Got no cash? (though they do take it). Highly recommended... There are some fabulous flavours, and they offer a tremendous option of a milkshake; I went for coffee and pistachio.

Wonderful pizza, worth travelling to Cockermouth alone.Greeted with a warm welcome and great service, finished with the best tiramisu!

La comida es buena, las porciones son pequeñas. La habitación de arriba está en el lado malo de lo rústico. Las flores de la mesa estaban más allá en nuestra mesa. A menos que la puerta del inodoro sea cerrada por el último usuario, permanece abierta de par en par, por lo que nuestros comensales estaban mirando directamente al inodoro. Seguramente esto se puede arreglar. El servicio no era muy encantador. Un plato llegó cinco minutos después del otro. El cargo por servicio era inesperado y nuestra propina para el servicio promedio ciertamente no habría sido tanto como nos cobraron. Parecía que no tenía buena relación calidad-precio. El tiramisú fue bueno, pero no compensó otras deficiencias. Si te soy sincero, me quedé un poco irritado.

Great tasting wood fired Pizza! Relaxed atmosphere, reasonable price. Daniele the manager has excellent customer service skills and will do everything to make sure the customer is 100% happy. Our favourite pizza place.

We had a lovely lunch party for my Mums 90th birthday at Aroma. There were 26 family members and friends, and everyone really enjoyed it. The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Thanks to Joele and all the team at Aroma for your hard work in creating a memorable event.
