The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Absolutely gorgeous food served and relatively quickly. The food was fresh and delicious and the atmosphere was calm, romantic and welcoming

Just had a lovely meal with my friend tonight. The two servers we had were great and had a sense of humour ( unfortunately we didn’t get there names ☹️), really attentive, food came out at perfect timings! The GAMBERONI AGLIO-OLIO was fantastic with the basket of bread. Will definitely be back! Thank you guys x

Just the most disappointing experience I've ever had in a restaurant. We were a table of around 20 people and given a strict timeslot with which to enjoy our meal which was highlighted in advance. We were informed the day before that we had to knock off 15 minutes (so 1 hr 45 mins in total)due to us having a guest with a wheelchair to give time to replace a chair, first red flag!!! As requested we preoreded our meals yet it took over 30 minutes for any food to arrive, cutting into our tine severely and leaving about an hour max to have the entire meal. As we were ordered desserts and coffess, one of the waiters(who seemed moody and disinterested from the moment we arrived)whipped the menus away from a fellow waitress and shouted that we had to leave. Most of us were in shock as it came out of nowehere and I personally just got up and out of there quickly as was trying to avoid reacting and having been a designated driver was fully switched on to what was happening. Our 4 year old nephew was left hysterically crying as his patents had to tell him he couldn't have the promised ice cream, just awful to see. We took our 4 and 6 year olds over the road to the Co-op for their dessertsto eat on the street, just ridiculous really on a freezing cold night. All this and the food itself was largely disappointing, nuked ribs (only 2 of them and mostly fat) and a nuked lasagna, tasty but as with the ribs clearly thrown in a microwave of some sort as they were hotter than anything you'd get in an oven. Such a disappointment for a family meal with 3 local generations meeting for the a rare time, attempting to spend serious money and ultimately being treated like dirt to turn tables quickly. A little 10 minute warning or an option to finish drinks/desserts in the bar area woud have been fine but instead treated like criminals. Worst restaurant experience I have had in my whole life. Not one word of apology. Terrible, if I could give 0 stars I would.

We're regulars here it's fab only o e little let down it's a little cold on a cold day and drinks expensive other than that brilliant

Small place but very cute, very cosy. Food was great and the staff are top tier and a lot of fun.

We went for lunch today and it’s was so disappointed. We ordered 6 tapas. Only one was hot. 4 were a bit warm. We have to require the paella to be reheated because the rice was completely cold! And it took 10 mins to reheat the paella. Ordered chicken wings and one of them was still with two feathers! The waiter told me it’s supposed to be so. I asked so do you mean your chef never clean and remove the feather from wings? Had no answer. I will never go back to this place again.

Was happy with our visit to the diner for my sons birthday our waitress Zoe was very attentive and was all to happy to help with anything we needed , she was very down to earth and we gave her some cake as a thank you alongside tips we will be back .

Something gone wrong with this place, one time favourite for good Italian. Now the usual rubber garlic bread like all the other take aways in chorley, Lasagne-hardly any pasta, Sloppy with huge lumps of mince, Spag bog chillied up. Disappointed. I liked the starter though.

Delicious meal. Started with the mussels in a lovely sauce, was enough to share with a light garlic bread. Followed by the best tuna steak I’ve ever had. Husband had chicken millinaise and then we only had room to share a tiramisu. All washed down by a nice bottle of their house red. Lovely owner who found us a romantic little corner and chatted to us.

Excellent restaurant! The staff is really friendly! I recommend going there.

So much sugar in the tarts and coffee, I hope I don’t get diabetes. Good to look at though

Absolutely loved it there. We've had the best pizza here in less than 15 min, the service was friendly and pro-active. Loved the atmosphere of Italy in the UK. :)

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!

£22.50 for one large glass of Merlot and one medium glass of house white, both in plastic cups. NEVER AGAIN. Complete Rip Off.

We visited after swimming, very unplanned. The service was very good as was the food, The Sunday roast was the best I've had for a very long time. Definitely worth a visit.
