The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Arrived with a small group, we were immediately seated and given a sample of raspberry lemonade. Attempted to use the app but it didn't work, luckily the staff were super helpful and offered to take our order again after seeing us struggle. The person serving us was fabulous, the staff contributed to the relaxed atmosphere greatly and drinks & food arrived promptly after ordering. However the quality of the food wasn't what I'd expected for the price, I'm sure this has very little to do with kitchen staff but the dishes we ate were all rather disappointing and served as a reminder that when it comes to restaurants we should be avoiding chains like this. It's just never gonna be as good as the smaller local family ran Italian restaurants, which tend to be cheaper and tastier. I probably won't be back but like I said the food wasn't disgusting or anything just aggressively mid, the staff were amazing and the restaurant was clean and tidy.

Gosia catered for us very friendly and professional

Italian food in the UK?! No! Cold in the restaurant,slow service, terrible food! They are pretending to be italians. Speak italian with the costumers, they even have italian names, but the food is far from Italian taste. Even not close.

Visited with friends for lunch one of which has servere allergies to latex, tomatoes avocados and bananas which we made the staff aware of. The server and manager could not care less. The manager refused to serve us as said the chefs cannot take their gloves off to cook.

Outstanding service from Ivana. Delicious proper Neapolitan pizza. Very much recommended!

Nice Italian restaurant, friendly and professional staff and excellent cuisine

Despite what appears to be an issue with deliveroo, Francesca and Kevin made sure that my delicious order was delivered. Thank you guys x

Pasta was beautiful, chips dry and coldish

I've ordered from this place a few times now, their pizza's are superb and they always deliver early! I can't fault them, they're great!!

Very nice place, excellent service and great food. Came quickly and great price.

AVOID! Bland overpriced food and rude service as you can see from he’s replies to negative reviews. Only one person had a starter and he refused to eat it you can get the video 3 people out of the 10 refused to eat their whole meal and only the people having pizza finished their meal so it’s a bit embarrassing for your restaurant really Your restaurant is clearly empty for you to keep replying which says a lot. I do not mind paying the price for good food your food was disgusting even one of the children refused to eat it learn some customer service skills for once take a negative review as I’m sure you will get lots more from your attitude and your bland food.

Wonderful service and delicious pasta. The new family who run this place are doing a great job. I’m addicted to the Di Carlos pasta and my daughter loves the Nutella pizza on sourdough. 100% recommend this local gem.

This restaurant is closed permanently I will miss you guys so much

My Experience of the pizza shop is very good for pizza party (for kids) thay make pizza for kids and you can put any topping on it, then it gows in the very hot oven and it only takes around two minutes. It was amazing, This is a good place for pizza partys!

My parents and I stayed at La Gaffe a few days ago. It was the most homely, pleasurable experience. Lorenzo was such a sweetheart, as was Gaseppi, Dekka and all the staff! The location was spot on, close to everything and lots of food spots a minute walk away. The rooms had all that you need. Each morning, we had delicious bread rolls and fruits for breakfast, as supplied by the hotel. I’ve never been to Hamstead before, but it felt like coming home. If you want this kind of experience, book here.
