The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Went in after visiting St.Mary's Church and Community Hall were Paul & John originally met as I was famished after aa long walk from John's Grave in Allerton. Was not Greeted Warmly as acted as though they could not care less if I was there or not. I took note that they were doing such Attitude with their other Customers. When I asked about connecting to their WiFi Signal and the MaitrèD insisted on taking my Cell Phone away from me to register the PW himself. There no chance of him getting my Cell Phone away from me as I do not Trust anyone with my Cell Phone. The Food did eventually come.and 24Hrs later, I am having difficult Intestinal Problems which has the Smell of the soggy Parsnips that came along with the Beef Gravy Pie I ate. Thus I am amending my Review to only One Star! :(

Really Lovely and accommodating staff and brilliant food. It is a small business, so wait times can be longer when it's full, but still well worth it! Group gatherings can be a bit more difficult as we found the manager hadn't really given our requests to the staff on the day and it was a bit stressful. But the staff who were in still did all they could to help solve the situation and made it a wonderful experience nonetheless!

Lovely restaurant, perfect for pre theatre dinner and drinks. Lovely staff too. Sea bass was delicious!

Great food and service,, spoilt by family with no control over their kids, allowing a small child to lie and roll round the floor .... 😡

I ordered a Fiorentina pizza for collection. It was ready on arrival and piping hot. The base was well cooked: some depth but not too thick, with a lovely crisp crust. The egg, spinach and slight saltiness from the olives were a lovely combination. Very tasty!

Amazing pub restaurant, amazing food Lovely staff

We ordered 16 drinks to celebrate recent sucess at the GP surgery. Unfortunately many drinks came half full. They were not marked what they are so one member of staff was left without drink to keep her safe due to severe nut allergy. One drink tasted of pure water. Big dissapointment and we managment have let our staff down massively with poor quality drinks. We also called the cafe and they were not willing to accomodate a drink that was out of the stock. Again another member of staff left without a drink. Avoid!!

Where to start… I never, ever leave bad reviews. I love my food and dine out most weekends with my family, but dining here tonight compelled me to share my experience. The food was, all in all, distinctly average. I ordered the beef Cajun, which was supposed to come with prawns. However, I found more fat from the steak than either prawns or beef in my dish. We ordered cheesy garlic bread to accompany our mains, but it arrived as we were almost finished eating, despite being told it was “one minute away” earlier. When our wine was served, it was simply dumped on the table, leaving us to pour it ourselves. I’m not precious about wine pouring as a service, but I know most Italian restaurants take pride in serving wine properly. To make matters worse, no one asked us if our meal was satisfactory, and we weren’t offered a dessert menu. My daughter would have loved some ice cream, but when we asked a waitress for it, she didn’t speak English. Instead of sending someone who could help, we were left waiting until we finally asked for the bill. The staff was virtually non-existent, hiding at the back of the restaurant. At one point, a waiter walked past us with his hands in his pockets, looking like he wished he was anywhere but there. If you ever read this, mate, I wishing I wasn’t there too! We tried the number 1 rated Italian before Mario’s but that was fully booked whereas Mario’s was empty - we now know why! Overall, this experience was disappointing, and I cannot recommend this restaurant.

I have been eating at Battersea Grill for many years and the food is always delicious! Best local cafe for breakfast and coffees. Staff are always super friendly. Love this place and will continue to visit for many more years

Been over an hour since our order and no one has answered the phone for an update. Don't order here

Friendly, family run cafe with big variety of sandwiches and value for money breakfast.

Trivia cards on the table, honestly a brilliant touch. Food was brilliant and service was fantastic.

just over 2 hours waiting for pizza and pasta! stone cold .. don’t bother

1st time ordering. Food was excellent, service was really good, and quick delivery, highly recommend

Still the best pizza in Derby!!!! 10/10.
