The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

I booked a table for 6 for my wife's birthday through Mezzepotamia's website. I received a booking confirmation when I booked, but when we got to the restaurant the owners advised that they are closed for renovations. Unfortunately this isn't the first time a booking has been cancelled by the restaurant without them letting us know. Needless to say, we won't be booking a table there again.

Had a great meal at this restaurant. Good quality food and atmosphere. Service was excellent. Based on our experience we would recomend this restaurant .

Mi novio y yo fuimos a casa de Rigo el viernes por la noche para cenar, la segunda vez que estuvimos aquí y el segundo éxito perfecto: elegimos la opción de 4 platos y todo fue simplemente delicioso. Los platos también fueron muy creativos y bien presentados: calidad de estrella Michelin. Pedimos una recomendación de vino y tuvimos la oportunidad de probar un vino que nunca habíamos probado, que resultó ser un buen partido tanto para la carne roja que mi novio pidió como para el pescado que obtuve: no solo el chef era excelente, sino también el sommelier también fue excelente. Es una pena que ahora se esté cerrando por un par de meses para mudarse a Mayfair, ¡pero seguro que volveremos una vez que abran en la nueva ubicación!

Amazing lunch with my friend, great service and food came out swiftly and was lovely will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Ordered a passion fruit martini and it was delicious.

This was our third visit, first was very good second lacking, today this wa a rip off. Garic stuffed mushrooms 7.50 good, waiter said starter special so ordered the mushrooms were cut in quarters in a liquor with too much chili not mentioendmy preference however the dish would have cost under a pound and charged at 10 pounds 50⁷ Main course meat dry risotto like Pudding just add sugar well over cooked prawn and asparagus perfect but will not go again After first meal reccomede now have to retract.to all😡

Gran lugar con personal amable que a veces frecuento. Recomiendo si quieres un lugar para sentarse en Shoreditch especialmente al sol

Después de haber pasado el día viajando de Northumberland a Londres, no me molesté en buscar un lugar para comer por la noche y encontré esta joya absoluta en mi puerta. Pedí pollo y pasta con pan de ajo para llevar y estaban felices de hacer esto. La comida era agradable y caliente y muy sabroso y el pan de ajo era un extra muy agradable. Si encuentras que estás en esta área, ¿por qué no probarlos tú mismo y sabrás lo que quiero decir?

Lady at the till on Thursday morning was super rude. No welcoming at all, no thank you, I made a question about a product and the answer she gave was so much to make me feel like a fool that in the end I didn’t get what I wanted. I get it, you have stress, depressed, no smiling costumers at all, who work in the area and are tired to give you a smile for their daily routine or whatever, but you shouldn’t apply that manners to all your other costumers...

Had a lovely lunch we both ordered scampi and chips very large portion lovely crispy coating on scampi chips cooked to perfection came with a nice little salad. Very pleasant staff. All priced very reasonably will certainly go again .

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.

Amazing food tasty fresh delicious , great atmosphere service was on point you have to go lorenzo the chef is welcoming will be back thankyou

We visited our son in Putney and he suggested we try Artisans for lunch. The 2 course lunch menu of starter and pasta or starter and main was a very reasonable £29 each when we sampled it. Our son runs a local pub and he had been recommended by past diners to go here. On arrival we were the only people there but we did arrive at 12:30 so maybe a little early. We had to catch the tube across London for a show hence the early visit. The host Massimo was very welcoming. Most tables were set up for two people but he quickly had the three of us sat down. He brought water to the table and was happy to talk with us. He gave us menus and retired to the kitchen while we decided. My wife and I opted for the Sardinian Ham with Pear and saffron jam to start, while our son chose the daily Burrata with Grappolino emulsion and oregano. both dishes were very well cooked and prepared and most enjoyable. My wife and son then chose the Sos Malloreddus pasta with deer ragu with plum tomatoes and herbs, while i went for the Venison fillet with Spinach tart, wild berries syrup & chestnuts praline. The fillet was so tender the knife could have been a butter knife. I could have eaten it slightly rarer but the taste and texture was heaven. Massimo suggested a white wine for my wife and a red for myself. Our son was due back at work so opted for no alchohol. The wines accompanied the dishes perfectly but I cant remember which ones they were. We followed with coffees to finish the lunch by which time a party of six had already sat down and more were diners were coming in. Overall, as diners of quite a few Michelin restaurants we can safely say that the quality of food and service we experienced at Artisans was certainly very high end quality. I cannot understand some of the negative reviews left by others but i would certainly recommend others to visit Artisans. We intend to go back and have the 4 course tasting menu on the evening next time we visit our son. Thank you to Massimo and his staff.

The problem with this place is the manager. My friend has Parkinsons disease which makes speech very difficult. She was told by the manager to get out because she was drunk. She only drinks Coke. She was in tears and I gave the manager a piece of my mind. The manager insulted my other friend saying he is too fat, and banned him saying he didn't want him here. He patronises customers, saying that you have to sit here, insulting them by pointing at tables. His pizzas are small thin and inconsequential at an enourmous price, over £20. The manager is stark raving mad, charging up and down the tiny seating area talking to himself and making hand signs. This guy is a bully to his young staff who are amazing in their manners and attentiveness. Many customers complain, but are ignored because that guy is arrogant. there are many pizza places in the area where you will get friendlier and more respectful service.

We had the best service me and my sister after a long day at work. We had the best pizzas. Steve, Mat and James were so lovely, welcoming and professional. Missed the Monday offers however, it was worth paying the full prices. Always looking forward to office day and the pizza treat.

Fantastic authentic Napoli pizza! This was the best pizza we’ve had in Brighton, especially take away. We had a Napoli, Diavola and a mozzarella and garlic pizza. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be ordering regularly. We have visited Naples many times and this is just what you would get in Napoli.
