The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Visited their coffee shop Wednesday and today. Situated in the village by sainsbury and separate from the deli. Excellent coffee and cakes. Very friendly owner and staff. All.original coffee and cakes. They do fresh soup and ciabattas . Pleasant atmosphere . No booking required. . Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best restaurant ever!!! My family and I go every month for the pizza (which is incredible) and to see the owner, who is probably one of the nicest people I have ever met! He often gives us free fruit and is very friendly, especially to the kids. The atmosphere here is also wonderful!

We so hope this delightful couple survive in the very competitive sphere of Cheltenham eateries. They more than deserve their place in the list of "must go to" restaurants. It's not a see and be seen place, but if you love good Italian cooking, you will be happy to find this place.

So pleased we found this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely. We shared a selection of starters - garlic breads, olives and bruschetta. Our mains were a variety of pasta and pizza dishes. A few desserts too - the tiramisu was particularly popular. The house wine was good and the whole meal was great value. We will definitely be back

¡Dios mío, excelente pizza! La MEJOR pizza vegana que he probado, y he tenido mucho! ¡El baño "secreto" es tan sabroso también! Personal encantador friendlu y un pequeño pub muy dulce! Me encantaría aún más si hubiera opciones para niños / lados

A great friendly little Italian, welcoming space and staff, smashing cappuccino and baked I house chocolate spread croissant 🥐 I was looking for a breakfast stop and stumbled across Pasticceria Di Leo, it’s tucked away inside a little covered arcade, but well worth sniffing out.

Had a lovely lunch today at Stretched & Fried in Alfold. Lovely friendly staff and a lovely lunch. Well worth a visit. This is definitely a great addition to the village. The staff have changed and the option of different menu items is good. Will definitely be back again soon.

Spires Cafe is run by apprentices from Truro College. I took my mother here for a coffee and we were also tempted by the lovely cakes on display. It's clean, tidy and good value. My hot chocolate was excellent and the cakes were so tasty. Good for a quick visit whilst shopping.

Excellent evening great food and company What a great place to go as solo the Indian food gave me the opportunity to taste food I might not order

Have been having pizzas from here for a long time. Best pizza place by far! Quick service, fresh every time. Staff are amazing too. Definitely recommend.

El Rebel Café es una joya escondida que combina perfectamente el amor por la literatura con el encanto de una acogedora cafetería. Desde el momento en que cruzas su puerta, te envuelve un ambiente acogedor y mágico. La cafetería tiene deliciosas delicias tentadoras, que ofrecen una variedad de cafés y pasteles horneados. A pesar de su pequeño tamaño, el Rebel Café nunca se siente apretado. En cambio, emana un sentido de comodidad e intimidad que a menudo carecen los establecimientos más grandes. Mención especial merece Alice, la dueña y corazón de Café. Alicia es cálido, acogedor. Su pasión por crear un espacio donde las personas puedan conectarse a través de su amor compartido por los libros y el café brilla en cada detalle del café. Su toque personal y el cuidado genuino de sus clientes hacen que su visita se sienta como volver a casa. En un mundo que a menudo se siente apresurado e impersonal, The Rebel Café es un refrescante oasis de calidez, creatividad y comunidad. Es más que un simple lugar para tomar un café; es un refugio para el alma. Muy recomendable para cualquier persona que busque escapar del ajetreo y el bullicio y sumergirse en un mundo de libros y cervezas o tomar una bebida para llevar o reservar en su viaje en tren.

I was fortunate as the much maligned “Grumpy “ landlord was in fine form & most convivial. The hospitality was first rate, the premises excellent with good beer & even the guard-dog demanded attention & a belly rub. I would thoroughly recommend this venue. Only negative was the entertainment; England v Scotland which was pants !

Amazing food very fresh and quality ingredients. Highly recommended, really tasty food and great choice and variety of dishes.

Went to Ripponden to stay with my sister before going on to Sheffield and she suggested we went here for lunch. Set on the ground floor of an old mill now converted into small businesses/offices this family owned cafe has a varied menu which changes daily with both hot, cold and gluten free choices. Two of us had the chicken curry whilst the others had poached salmon salad and a baked potato. Good choice of desserts too and friendly staff with the only downside being that it was a bit on the expensive side. Having said that I would gladly return the next time I come up north.
