The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

I ordered a pizza snd said thin crust considering it’s early and they aren’t busy at this time I’m not sure how they could mess the order up…? Got thick crust snd pizza was cold. I order from here a lot but the way the guy spoke to me like I’m trying to get a free pizza out of him ?!. I just wanted what I ordered ! Then he’s saying no you didn’t say thin crust no you didn’t. I know I did as after he even said okay so thin crust ? I said yes😂 utter idiot we order often from them but it stops now! Don’t worry mate wasn’t trying to get a free pizza. Just wanted what I originally ordered !

I was walking around blackstock road with some friend on a sunny Sunday and just about Gillespie road we heard some music coming from the corner. We walked to check what was it and we found this little pizza place that reminder me soo much of Italy and holiday back home. So we sit and order a pizza. They guys working there were funny and well mannered, and let's not talk about the pizza! Amazing napolitan style pizza with thick fluffy and crunchy crust all around, real for di latte mozzarella.. Just One of the best pizza I had in London full stop. In a nice area as well.. few min away from clissold park and arsenal stadium.. Wil definitely come back with other friend to this little pizza gem. Thanks guys!

I’d written to San Carlo when I made our booking to explain that my husband had suffered a stroke (he is now severely disabled) and to request a booth near the front of the restaurant as this would be helpful for his mobility challenges. We were told when we arrived that we only had a few minutes to have a drink at the bar although we were 10 minutes early for our table. I tried to get a round of drinks for this very special family occasion but none of the bar staff even made eye contact with me. Then we were told we had to go to our table or else we were going to lose it. We were ushered to a table in the middle of the room at the back of the restaurant. When I explained that I had specifically asked for a booth near the front of the restaurant I was told that requests cannot always be accommodated. This was more than a little sad situation since my husband was struggling to get across the floor and he struggles to hear and to communicate so this would have been no fun at all for him. The staff did find us a booth but there was no apology. In fact their attitude made me feel uncomfortable. It spoiled our night and after many happy times in San Carlo, including holding our wedding party there, I don’t think we will go back.

Really delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and professional and friendly service. Caters really well for vegans

Great food and great service, Marissa was very helpful and a pleasure to be around

We had a bit of a wait for our booked table and it was a little bit cramped but Stelica and his team went very far out of their way to make sure we were looked after. Once we were seated the service was great and the food was lovely even though they were so busy - we had a very nice evening. Thank you Stelica, Charlotte, bartek, Leyla and angela 🙂

Staying nearby. Saw good reviews hence decide to make reservation. Went during dinning peak hour. Had very late lunch, so did not order any main but ordered dessert and drink to try; tiramisu and Aperol Spritz as don't wish cancel reservation. Was disappointed with taste for both comparing what I had before from origin place.

The staff at this Bella Italia Location are so friendly and kind, we had the best possible service and I cant explain enough how thankful our waiter was for taking these photos. The food was incredible as perscribed via the pictures below. Well done!

Great service. Great dessert ❤️❤️❤️

Food was an hour late, room temperature. Rang to check on order and they were very rude. Avoid Also have a hygiene rating of 2. Found out after ordering

Caz the rockstar was great. Friendly welcoming and fun! Made it a great experience on top of great food and drinks.

Had the best service with Mark this evening! Thank you for your impeccable service!!

I order pizza all pollo and I can say that the chicken on the pizza taste horrible and tomato sauce taste horrible as was take out of the can and put straight away to the pizza ….I ordered it a coke was half ice and half and I told to the waiter no ice and he did….fir sure I don’t comeback there…don’t recommend it

Good food, great service! The refurb looks really nice. I had the Ajo, Oio & Peperoncino which was delicious, and the pasta was perfectly al dente. The staff were absolutely lovely - Gabe and Agata were incredibly friendly and attentive and we had the best time thanks to them!

We visited Prezzo in Street last year when Christmas shopping and it was nice, so we did the same this year. Unfortunately this trip wasn't as good. Firstly, we were seated at one of the tables which runs up the side of the restaurant and has a booth style seat against the wall. The layout of this made us feel very close to the people at the next table and it was very difficult to get in/out when needing the toilet (which, with a 5 year old, was more than once...). I also found the seat to be incredibly uncomfortable, with a wooden beam sticking up through a collapsed soft seat cushion. We then ordered the food, and things didn't get much better. We had to wait a long time for 3 drinks to arrive. Then the confusion of the food arrived. Firstly, our sons starter arrived, but he was given two (one he'd ordered, one he hadn't'). The starters for the 3 adults were put out by the chef at the same time, as we could see them, but nobody came over with them until we told somebody we hadn't had ours. Bizarrely my son was then handed a 3rd starter (the one he had ordered, but for a second time). We were very confused but it was hard to find anyone to ask what was going on. When we placed our order I wasn't sure the man who took it was particularly listening and this was confirming when our main course arrived and I was given the wrong meal. I'd ordered Nduja Gnocchi but was given a pizza so I'm not sure how they got confused. They were clearly busy and the pizza looked nice, and as we'd already been waiting for so long I just decided to eat the pizza. Almost 24 hours later, I'm still regretting it. It was so spicy, there was just no actual flavour or taste to the pizza. I like a bit of heat and it wasn't so hot I couldn't handle it but it just overpowered everything took away any of the flavours there should have been. My wife and mums main courses looked quite nice but both said they were cold by the table they arrived at the table. One member of staff was very helpful when my son asked for a box for his main course and dessert he'd ordered as he couldn't manage them (not surprising after 3 starters, I guess...) and she was very apologetic. It was just really disappointing after a nice meal a year ago, and it was frustrating we had to wait so long and then all of our orders were wrong. I hope it was just a bad day but it wasn't great.
