The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Come here 2 Mother’s Day in a row. Last year was lovely this year was awful. Told us they ran out of Sunday dinners. Our parmos were just reheated, weren’t made fresh. The cheese was melted dry and the bech sauce was a strange off colour. Waited 1 hour 15 for food. The staff were hoovering next us making us feel like we needed to rush out. Online it says they aren’t closing for another 6 hours?

Nous avons découvert cette petite pizzeria lors de notre voyage à Londres et nous avons été ravis Les pizzas sont toutes succulentes et l’accueil formidable . Les prix sont très abordables Le patron nous ont même donné des adresses d’autres restaurants excellents et pas chers Je recommande vivement

We’ve been to Cicchetti in Ampthill a couple of times before. The food is great, tick. A great bar with plenty of choice, tick. Friendly and efficient service, tick! However, we’ve just come home from a very disappointing dinner. The acoustics in this restaurant are AWFUL - everything is a flat surface, making it even worse. The restaurant had accepted bookings for a 60th (a party of 40+ along one wall) and a 40th (a party of around 20+) and the noise was deafening. We were sat between the two parties and it was unbearable. My Apple Watch warned me that the environment was very noisy and that prolonged exposure could lead to permanent hearing damage. The staff were really struggling - the person looking after us told me she wanted to go home as well. We stayed an hour and left because we couldn’t take it anymore. Seriously, Fratelli Cicchetti! What are you doing!?!?! I’m sitting here having been home half an hour and my ears are still ringing…

Been to matlock numerous times nice to see this place open had a lotus crunch waffle which was delicious with a hot chocolate 🍫

We visit this restaurant regularly as a party of 2. We have never been disappointed on the contrary we have always been delighted. The service is friendly, they do not rush to charge your glasses which we find rather annoying and unnecessary. The manager and staff are most accommodating we usually have fish dishes where portions are more than ample, flavourful and fresh. Starters are brilliant, calamari cooked to perfection. Pasta so good, it certainly suits my taste. If anything to be said it is that there is at times too much food and we feel guilty to leave it because it has been so nice. Desserts - just try them.

First time visiting here barman very friendly and helpful we was the only ones in there which was a shame. Needed to go to the the bathroom went in and it was disgusting poo all around the pan no toilet roll u could even flush the chain as it was broken hopefully if we go back it will be sorted .

We visited as a family with two children this evening for the first times Food was fabulous, such authentic Italian food, children’s portions were huge Staff were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much for them Will be back soon

Brilliant place and great atmosphere. Food is amazing and they really look after you, recommending different drinks to try etc.

Warning! Tonight I ordered a pizza for delivery, they appear to have taken my money and the pizza didn’t arrive. I tried calling but it went to voicemail.

Arrived on a cloudy Saturday, meet with a large queue which was moving very slowly. A good selection of icecream to choose from. The portion size for the price was on the small size, we have been to other small icream makers and had larger portions for the same price, which is a shame as the icecream is very nice.

Amazing experience. Made it worth the trip from UK. Sneha hosted us and she’s the most lively person. Loved every moment. Good food and amazing service.

Maravillosa comida en Il Bachio. Gran servicio y comida increíble. Me encantó el pan fino de barquillos y mi pasta con huevas y almejas de bacalao era un plato enorme de exquisitez. Nuestra mesa estaba en la sala de fiestas, que era agradable y cómoda. Estoy deseando que llegue mi próxima visita!

Pedí una tortilla & fue increíble y la presentación fue de 10 / 10 , disfrutamos mucho de esta comida y recomendaría encarecidamente este lugar para comida & bebidas. El personal también es muy amable y educado! X

The buy prepared base and topping it in very bad quality been in 2017 hope is closed ever now. Rude stuff not clean very uncomfortable place
