The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

I absolutely love Greek food and sadly, this was nothing like Greek food. The ambience was quite awkward, the food was substandard and had undoubtedly been reheated in the microwave. I'm sorry to say it, but I'd never come back here and wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Esta fue una gran elección para nuestra cena, a pocos pasos de nuestro hotel. Yo tenía el marisco linguine y tiramisú y ambos eran muy buenos. Mis amigos disfrutaron de sus comidas también. Un gran ambiente en una noche de viernes y buen servicio.

Increase of price, and was made to pay a £10 ‘table fee’ which I wasn’t told about when I ordered or made my booking on top of it all, how’s the table fee costing more than most things on the menu?? The restaurant next door (which I assume is theirs also) doesn’t do this😭 Seen your reply, and nah that isn’t my receipt. Only had one shisha and just a can of redbull😂went from £22 to £32 because of the table fee, we was given a table near the doors, we did ask if we could have a different table but wasn’t given it!

The restaurant had only one other customer dining in during our visit. Our starter (calamari) arrived reasonably quickly, rubbery with some small limp salad garnish and a not very pleasant dipping sauce. There followed a 45 to 50 minute wait, while we sat and watched a couple of Uber eats/Just eat bikers came in and collected food for delivery. It was apparent that the business prioritised these orders over preparing ours. Eventually fed up and hungry and having had no apology or explanation for the delay we said we were leaving. Just as we were heading for the door our food left the kitchen. The 2 staff (on a Saturday night) both apologised (too late) and we were offered a discount and no service charge. This was the least they could do as we’d received almost no service. The pizza and pasta were both adequate but nothing special and I’d advise anyone looking for Italian food to go to the excellent Piazza Della Cucina which is only a few doors down. This was a bit of a celebration dinner for us and I was extremely disappointed, but you only discover these things by trying a place out. We won’t be back

Mi novia y yo vinimos aquí esta noche en una cita improvisada y nos quedamos impresionados por la comida, el ambiente y el servicio por el personal, a saber, Baz, Kiya y Byron - todos eran estrellas absolutas que nos sirven y nos encantó la comida, sin duda volvería a visitar y recomiendo encarecidamente! Five Stars All Round🌟

Came with my family today, service was absolutely amazing and food was really good, our host lost on was very attentive and it’s definitely somewhere where I’ll return

I am a regular and sometimes call in for a quick takeaway. When it’s quiet it can be done in as little as 5 minutes. Very tasty pizza! Maybe one day I’ll eat in!

Real Sfogliatelle and great coffee. What more can you ask. Plenty of other Italian fair, other pastries, sandwiches etc.

Beautiful Italian food at reasonable prices ......the wine is also a decent price.....staff are welcoming....always warm and cozy...best I've found in South Tyneside

My husband and I dropped into the little Italian for tea one evening and it was absolutely superb. Lovely friendly staff, really good prawns to start with and we both enjoyed a hearty bowl of pasta for mains. Reasonably priced, great little find. We will be back.

We visited today as it’s our wedding anniversary. We got married at Draycote several years ago and thought it would be nice to revisit for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary. It was lovely being back there and it evoked happy memories. However, the service wasn’t good. The food itself was pretty good. We were the only ones in the restaurant yet not once did anyone come to ask if everything was ok or if we wanted anything. We had to go and find someone to ask for another drink. For our second cup of tea the milk provided had gone completely off. Leaving large bits of soured milk floating around in the cup. Mentioned this to the waitress and there barely an apology. Didn’t even offer to replace the drink. It was nice for us sentimentally to go back but I really wouldn’t recommend it for anyone else. I’d say go to one of the nicer places around here with a better ambience and better customer service.

Recibimos una cálida bienvenida del equipo a su llegada. La decoración es luminosa y moderna. Las comidas estaban bien presentadas y llenas de sabor y uno de los servidores, Sila, es eficiente, profesional y muy amable. El Risotto alla pescatora era realmente excelente. Una velada muy agradable.

We come regularly to this restaurant because of the pizzas but the service and rudeness of the two staff is unbelievable, to the point where we’re going to stop going. We always have to ask to order even though they are just chatting behind the bar and if you ask for anything extra there’s a tut and raised eyebrows. You’re made to feel like they’re doing you a favour by serving you. Such a shame for the owners, a lot of our friends feel the same and it’s only a matter of time until they will start seeing a decline in customers.

I've been coming to Amici for years now. I find the coffee great, and the service personal and friendly. My chosen spot in Leatherhead.
