The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We were there on a Friday night, should have been open but it wasn't! I was dissappointed. Don't state you are open unless you are.

Great staff and amazing food! I’ve tried the Zuppa di Fagioli and the Pizza Romagnola, I can give 10/10 to both. Thank you!

Cercavamo un posto dove mangiare e ci siamo affidati alla rete...location tranquilla...bella sorpresa! Pizza molto buona, i gestori sono molto simpatici e cordiali. Ci siamo tornati due giorni dopo...qualità italiana e prezzi onesti. Consigliato a chi vuole mangiare una pizza buona

El personal era acogedor y amable desde el principio! Puedes ver la pasión que tienen por hacer que sus huéspedes se sientan bienvenidos! La comida era deliciosa y los cócteles aún mejor! Deliciosa pasta casera, maridada con recomendaciones de vino de Leo! Bellisomo!!!! Recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveremos! 😋😋😋

Fuimos a Pappagone Sud para una cena familiar temprano y lo pasamos muy bien. Desde la cálida bienvenida en adelante el servicio fue genuinamente amable, comprometido y eficiente y todos los platos que probamos estaban excelentemente cocinados y de tamaño generoso. Compartimos un par de entrantes entre tres y, entre nosotros, tuvimos una pizza, un plato de pasta y un plato principal de carne... todos estaban más que contentos con su comida y lo rematamos con un gran helado. Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar.

7 keen workers needed a treat so we booked a table for lunch and had the most wonderful, seriously wonderful Pizza's. Everyone was saying it was one of the best pizza's we have ever had. Ice cream and pimms all super. Thanks Team Lusso!

Visited this bar on our last night in shanklin! Shame as what a great place! Cocktails were wonderful especially the Caramel Saltini so good!! Nice staff happy to chat about what went into the Cocktails & great to watch them being made up. On leaving asked for bill charged for one Amstel 😲 pointed out that a good deal more than Amstel was drunk! 10% discount for my honesty! Great place try it especially the Caramel Saltini!!! Loved the toilets aswell 😂

Finally a proper Italian restaurant in the area. As my wife is Italian we went for our 7 year anniversary and even she approved! Atmosphere was great and so was the food! Kind staff members too.

Cancelado el día de asistencia. Reservamos esto 4 días antes y recibimos un correo electrónico diciendo que están cancelando la reserva unas horas antes de que asistiéramos. Afortunadamente revisé mis correos electrónicos ya que esto fue reservado para una ocasión especial. No hay excusa por qué, creo que su servicio al cliente es muy pobre.

Great setting but let down by food preparation and wooden cutlery. Yes, the setting is fab overlooking Lyme Regis beach. However, the food prep was disappointing given the high prices. I spent over £15 on 2 teas, a sausage roll and a cake. The sausage roll was good quality (award winning bought in from elsewhere) but they microwaved it to warm it up - a travesty and soggy pastry. And the soggy sausage roll was served alone with no garnish or anything else on the plate or any offer of sauces etc. The cutlery was wooden disposable which just sets my teeth on edge. The tea had too much milk put in it - no choice to do it yourself - a mug of milky tea presented, yuck, not my cup of tea! The waiting staff were pleasant enough but not exactly enthusiastic or bothering to check all was well. Give the high prices, I won’t be back. They’ve got such a fab location and have bought in higher quality food, what a shame they have ruined it with poor food prep, crap utensils and disinterested staff.

Early evening visit on a warm summers day found the outdoor seating already full. Plenty of spaces indoor though. Good choice of beers and food provided is by "pop-up" kitchens. On the day, The Kent Sausage Company" were in attendance.

What a place, quite small but the variety of food on offer is great. My friend had one of their homemade pizzas I went for the anti pastino it was very fresh and flavoursome. The cocktails were very tasty and I like that you could mix in the 2 for £13 deal. The staff are very polite and friendly, looking forward to our next visit

Not reviewed Buonissimo for a while, but we visit regularly, coffee is exceptional, the food is always excellent, whether it be a main meal or a simple sandwich, the Amalfi open sandwich, is just delicious, & in all honesty, we have tried nearly everything, & it is all first class. The deli counter also offers some mouth watering products. The staff are polite & helpful, & you can guarantee a warm welcome.

Service was FANTASTIC! Came on a saturday night and the pub was very busy but the staff were very smiley and extremely accomodating, even when my mum was being a prick. Our waiter was a very charming young man and our food came very quickly and was DELICIOUS. brilliant pub, will definitely come again.
