The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

La Caverna has always been my "go to" restaurant and I like it because it's been the same for 40 years! Decent food, reasonably priced and a homely atmosphere

Relaxing atmosphere, large selection of delicious food...fish, or meat grills, pasta or pizza, Always very enjoyable experience

Feet stuck to the floor as you walked in, die of thirst waiting for a drink at the sticky bar, and there’s been buckets in the middle of the floor catching drips from the ceiling for months and months. Only went for the ‘Day disco’ advertised but that was also a big letdown - didn’t even have the lights down…..oh and the hospitality’ of the management certainly leaves a lot be desired.

We came with friends in March, a large booking of 15 for a meal. We arrived promptly at 7.30 but our food didn’t come out until just after 9pm. Whilst I appreciate we were a large group, 9pm isn’t satisfactory. The waiter was lovely and clearly the issue wasn’t with him but I question why they take large bookings if you can’t accommodate a reasonable time frame for serving large parties. If I’m honest I won’t recommend or return. I wanted to feedback as clearly this is something the restaurant needs to review and improve on

Easily the best pizza in Bolton by a mile. Not your standard pizza at all. You know the ones, tastes like sugar and identical to everywhere else. Well that's not the the case here . Really high quality tastes like it was made from scratch.

Run by a lovely lady. The fish stew is great. Best tiramisu in the area too.

I have a chicken vindaloo every time I visit it an Indian restaurant and this was the worst I’ve had in a longtime. It was hard to eat the chicken as it was extremely chewy also there was very little sauce with the curry. This restaurant is very poor and does not live up to its reviews!

Great restaurant, lovely food, nice and hot, lots of staff, would recommend booking, as it gets very busy. Will be going again. Parking can be a problem, but drvve around you will find a spot.

I have been away for too long. My visit this evening reminded me of the environment,the first class service and,as always the best steak in the country.Always a pleasurable experience with Massimo and his team.Thanks to you all,as ever.Ray Campsie

What a wonderful host Massimo is, he always gives you such a warm welcome and what a talented team he has front of house and in the kitchen. We were four generations at the table and the menu caters for each age group. It was hard to get past the delicious warm homemade bread with olive oil and rosemary but three baskets later we did! Fabulous food, best pasta eaten almost in silence, an extensive wine list, stylish decor, real linen and great stories too -we can’t wait to return! Thank you xx

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere very cosy and authentic. Varied menu and the food is fresh and pleasing to the eye. The service isn’t fast but it is waiting for, would highly recommended.

If you like authentic Italian food then I encourage you to try this restaurant. We weren’t totally sure what we were going to be given but every dish was amazing and they kept coming. We left feeling well fed and satisfied. Simple wine list but the red wine we shared was delicious! The best Italian food I’ve eaten outside of Italy and the service was exceptional too, Just one piece of feedback would be that a little bit of information about what each dish is would add to the experience!

Absolutely gorgeous! The waitress was lovely, super helpful about the vegetarian dishes! The food was absolutely delicious, great price too. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service and good grub

First time back to Don Luigi's since refurb (second time for my wife) food was delicious. Had the Ribs and Tiramisu both were probably best I have ever had and I lived in Italy for a year! Lovely atmosphere - a very big well done to chefs and staff.
