The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Excellent food, only let down was other customers or would have been a 5. We arrived for our wedding anniversary and although the restaurant was mainly empty, we were sat next to a very loud table of 8 and another couple. The noise from one particular person was so constant and obnoxious with language, we ate as quickly as possible just so we could leave because we couldn’t actually hear each other or the staff when taking our order. Sadly the other couple who were by us also felt the same. Shame really as we came for the dessert but the language and shrieking from the one customer ruined the evening for us. As we were leaving, the group was then placed in the centre of the restaurant probably to ruin everyone else’s meal too. The food though was outstanding and I can highly recommend it and the staff too who tried to put up with what was happening. The table by us had the desserts we wanted and it looked perfect but the noise was too much.

We had a fantastic jovial lunch with close friends. Staff were friendly ,helpful and efficient.. Food was great as always.

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.

Absolutely the best Italian I've had outside of Italy The staff are friendly and attentive The food is incredibly delicious

No revisado Buonissimo por un tiempo, pero visitamos regularmente, el café es excepcional, la comida siempre es excelente, ya sea una comida principal o un simple sándwich, el sándwich abierto de Amalfi, es simplemente delicioso, y con toda honestidad, hemos probado casi todo, y es todo de primera clase. El mostrador de delicatessen también ofrece algunos productos deliciosos para la boca. El personal es educado y servicial, y usted puede garantizar una cálida bienvenida.

El almuerzo del domingo de hoy fue excelente. Después de intentar reservar para la 1 pm, nos dicen que estaba completamente reservado hasta las 3 . Cuando llegamos allí el restaurante estaba muy ocupado, la espera valió la pena. Mi marido tenía carne asada mientras yo tenía panza de cerdo, ambos eran muy buenos y de gran valor. No es sorprendente que esté tan ocupado, la calidad era excelente, y el personal muy amable. Comemos aquí a menudo para una cena, pero sin duda volveremos para el almuerzo del domingo

Lovely homemade ice cream. Service with a smile. My daughter absolutely loves the milkshakes. Deluxe caramel iced latte! Come here often especially in the summer.

Popped in for breakfast as wanted to put money in to local business rather than McD’s etc and the board outside stated 2 breakfasts and 2 teas £12 which seemed reasonable. The breakfast was well sized however the sausage was bland as was the grilled tomato. Bacon and beans were good. The pot of tea wasn’t the best. At no point did anybody pop over and ask us if we were enjoying our meal or if everything was ok. The decor was tired with marks on the walls and the door was filthy. We were in early and the place was empty so wasn’t as though the grime had built up in the day and would have took a minute to wipe it down with a damp cloth at least. Also the table cloth was stained. When went to pay it was £15.88 and not the £12 as advertised outside but couldn’t be bothered challenging as it was the missus’s birthday. Won’t be going there again as just not good enough.

Tomé un capuchino helado y mi esposa tomó un té helado - jazmín creo que dijo que era muy agradable. Mi café era excelente, muy sabroso y con poca leche, así que era lo suficientemente fuerte. Era particularmente bueno para un café helado.

First time I've ever been to this charming little park...on a beautiful sunny morning I spotted this cafe & thought fabulous I'll have a coffee. As I entered I was putting my mask on and one of the strings broke the mask was still covering my face as I was holding it. To my SHOCK I look up & this man behind the counter (the owner I think) which was at least 2 metres away wearing a mask himself starts to SHOUT AT ME!! The way in which this man spoke to me was actually shocking I've been reading some of the other reviews an this seems to be a reoccurring theme. In this time when so many businesses are struggling we as consumers have a choice were we spend our money and many of us choose to try and support local businesses...this one WONT get my support..this man is a RUDE & is going the right way about ruining his own business

Cannot recommend Liri’s highly enough. Great Italian food, all cooked by owner/chef Luigi. Sourdough pizzas, pasta, tiramisu all excellent.

Gorgeous pizza and sides! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. This is our 3rd visit and there will definitely be many more to come.

Fuimos varias veces durante los meses de agosto y septiembre. El menú no era largo, pero todo estaba recién hecho, desde cero. Cuando fuimos temprano, el servicio fue bastante rápido, pero más tarde se llenó (es un lugar pequeño) y ¡el servicio nos llevó más de una hora! Por suerte, queríamos hablar. Tuve la berenjena / berenjena parmigiana más de una vez, estaba delicioso. El camarero italiano / de Sri Lanka fue desternillante. (y muy lindo)
