The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Super friendly staff make the effort to speak a little French while listening to magnificent cuisine! The preparation time is a little long, but it's worth it, I recommend

Imaginarium Bistro Prescot Absolutely terrible considering bought gift voucher for people! Beef tough, roasties and Yorkshire pudding like bullet's , just thrown on the plate too. Sorry I bought vouchers! Poor service, staff weren't interested in comments when asking how was meal? Its gone right down hill since we went March!

Great place to stop for a coffee

Poor service and bang average food which was not reflective of the price. Cocktails also pretty bad Give it a miss.

Pizzas soggy, seafood spaghetti 4 smalls mussels, 5 tiny prawns. Pretty awefull food. We will not be going back !!

Para ser honesto, no esperaba mucho cuando entré pensando que era solo un lugar grasiento tipo cuchara. Cuando entré inmediatamente fui recibido con un saludo de uno de los miembros del personal, sé que suena como un hecho, pero inmediatamente me hizo sentir cómodo. El café es absolutamente increíble, no amargo, increíblemente sabroso. Pedí la envoltura de pollo, de nuevo sin pensar que sería nada especial, pero fue increíble. Mi esposa tuvo la segunda mitad y dijo “eso es realmente bueno”. No estoy seguro de cuál es el condimento, pero el sabor era delicioso. ¡Volveré de nuevo esta semana!

I've had a drink here once or twice before, there is a nice outside terrace. It has lovely quite elegant decor, the staff where friendly and attentive. This time i had a meal with family, lovely and fair value pasta dishes, I would definitely eat there again. It is also in a good position on Church Road, not too far from George Street shops or the seafront.

Negative first: No warm welcome. Toilets dirty but seemed like it was from that service and not generally dirty, probably need checking through out the day. Drinks orders took around 10m to be taken and another 10 to arrive. Starter arrived after 45mins. Dinner arrived quickly after finishing starter. Mistake made when giving dinners to wrong tables so 2 guests had to wait around 5 mins after first 2.. Positives: Starter choices for Sunday lunch set meal was very good. Meze starter, really tasty & good size. Lunch was very good, meat spot on. Veg wasn't you usual boring boiled veg. Roasted leeks, mange tout etc. gravy really tasty. 4 guests, 3x 2 courses, 1x 3course. Extra side of cauliflower cheese. 4 pints lager, 3 pints coke £87 everything. Food spot on, service poor. Would we go back, yes but would be prepared to wait.

Hey viewers. I felt compelled to write this to hopefully make you think twice before visiting this restaurant. When we visited on a Sunday, there were two young female waitresses who seemed to be a combination of overly shy and perhaps hungover. They barely said a word, didn't take our order and we had to ask, and got simple things wrong. Other first impressions: dirty glasses served, and one person on the pizza oven? I had clumsily managed to spill a drink, and after I returned from the bathroom, which was absolutely vile - completely disgusting and looking as if it had not been cleaned in a month. It was honestly foul... the kitchen roll my wife had to use to clean the spillage was still left on the table, and the drink was not replaced until we asked. These are simple things one would expect when paying to dine at a restaurant. Instead the staff had stood there and watched my wife clean up. 20+ minutes in with no food, and after seeing some of the pizzas being served at other tables, we decided to leave. The pizzas looked bland, undercooked, and generally terribly presented. The couple at the table next to us also mentioned that their food was chewy and dry, and it looked significantly worse than what you would get at a kebab shop at 3 AM, despite the expensive prices (around £16+ for some pizzas on the menu). After leaving, another lady who had apparently eaten there approached us and said how bad the food was and how disgusting the female bathroom was, which pushed me to write this review. I am baffled by the good reviews from others. Perhaps they have more experience with takeaways/deliveries where service is not a factor, or it may just depend on who's in the kitchen. To close, as a family who eats out regularly in many different locations, I would consider this restaurant to be in the top 3 of the worst establishments we've visited. Good luck if you're going, and squint if you use the toilets."

No comí mucho, pero lo que tenía, bebidas y servicio era genial de todo el personal, especialmente María / mamá. ¡Si quieres pedir shisha es eléctrico!

February 2025: this is the third vegan/plant based pizza I've ordered from Domino's. No problems with the first 2, however, today the pizza was disappointing. I suggest that a new quality checker is found as this one was obviously blind to the few pieces of real chicken on a plant based pizza they couldn't see. Whilst I understand Dominos don't care about cross contamination, as they warn about it, there is no excuse, when it's quality checked before being sent out, to miss a few pieces of chicken on a plant based pizza. To be honest if following basic food hygiene guidelines for food establishments, I'm not sure how a few pieces ended up on there in the first place. This could be easily rectified by using separate gloves, even separate areas and placing the pizza up high so non vegan ingredients can fall onto it. Very disappointed. I don't think I'll bother again. I'll order from elsewhere. It's such a shame Papa John's went as I never had this issue there. December 2024:First vegan pizza here. It was really tasty and clearly vegan. The Italian base was really nice. Unusual seasoning, but it really worked. I'd order it again. The chips were a bit disappointing but the pizza made up for this. Speedy delivery too. Great experience. Thank you.

Fish and chips were delicious! Very friendly service!

Brilliant!! We did the bottomless Prosecco lunch. We were soooo well looked after by Ola and the team. Whereas at places like cosy club where they try to limit your drinks Ola and the team were keen to treat us to as many drinks as we could consume. Atmosphere was great. Team were great. Food was lovely. Couldn't have asked for more. We will be back!!

Very nice service and great food

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