The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We were there for afternoon tea yesterday. The building is beautiful and stunningly decorated. We enjoyed our tea and the atmosphere was warm and relaxed. Varinder and Jennifer were very attentive and courteous. We would highly recommend.

I think we visited here on an off day - I hope so. The place itself is devoid of atmosphere. A bit like a school dining room of the 60s. Poor furniture. The staff mostly very pleasant but I think too few and so the service was poor. Very long gaps between visits and some dirty plates left ages after others had been collected. This was not a problem as the conversation with friends was good but not good for a normal visit. The food really should have all been returned. This place now has food at the more expensive end of the average restaurant and for what we ALL received was heavily overpriced. The quality was very poor at the most 4/10. s it happened I had a 50% voucher which brought the price to a realistic level, The food still very badly prepared and not a patch on another Prezzo I regularly visit. Certainly not on the revisit chart.

I don't know you. But going to this pizza for a Sunday dinner is very nice. You feel a true place, nothing is fake. I recommend it as the pizza loses its kicks when in the box for take away or delivery. The bruschetta is a must have!

Christmas party was a blast at this place. I usually come here for the lunch with my clients as it's always prompt and the food on point but never came in a big group. They were great , kept us entertained and the drinks were blowing. the food was again great and Dani was great .We might have been a bit too jolly at the end

Lovely meal. Good service. Recently been refurbished, much better. Have eaten here for years. Never disappointed. Reasonably priced. Worth a visit.

We have been coming here for years. The waiting staff are friendly however it has really gone downhill. The toilets are filthy. As is the outside area where the kitchen staff congregate to smoke. Absolutely disgusting to see and know they’re then cooking your meal. Pizza was undercooked. Chips were good. Chicken pasta tasteless. Won’t be coming back for a while. If at all.

Food quality was really good and our order was processed quite quickly. Disappointed to find extra items on our bill when paying, really left a sour taste. Check your bill before paying!

Came last night with friends for New Year’s Eve and what a fabulous night we had. Firstly the staff are absolutely fantastic, so attentive and friendly, we wanted for nothing! Thank you guys you worked so hard! The food and entertainment were so good, again huge thank you for giving us a wonderful evening. Definitely be booking for next New Year’s Eve and in the weeks to come too.

Good service from the server very insightful about the menu! The food was very good I had the carbonara it was better than I expected. The cocktail I had was from the Christmas cocktail list and it was delightful. Great selection of gluten free dishes also. Will be returning and highly recommend

Comida deliciosa, excelente ubicación y un servicio rápido y amable desde Baba - gracias! Sin duda volveremos si estamos en la zona!

Los cócteles eran encantadores, pero la comida es muy promedio, pero todavía es bastante caro. Tenía la lasaña y estaba bastante frita, sin ensalada ni nada con ella, solo un pequeño corte de lasaña en un plato bih. La lingüina de mariscos estaba bien, no es la más emocionante o sabrosa. A mi compañero también le pidieron que se levantara y dejara la mesa mientras yo iba al baño antes de irnos. A pesar de no haber nadie más esperando la mesa y un montón de otras mesas libres. El servicio también fue muy lento después del arranque. Un montón de personal pero "demasiado ocupado" para ofrecer un servicio decente. A pesar de que agregan un cargo por servicio automáticamente a su factura.

Breakfast after shopping- child size portions on a Child size plate. Not worth £6 (without drinks)- only redeeming feature the decent sausage. Bacon streaky rashers and not nice, two overs of toast and an egg. Pathetic really. Morrisons and Tesco offer far better for same price or support local business. Staff polite and friendly/ not busy but that possible reflects the waiting of food and value for money.won’t return soon.

Very happy about lunch today. We tried king prawns in tomato and chilli sauce, followed by honey chicken special and chicken cordon bleu. Squeezed in a shared portion of tiramisu. Delighted today. Lovely staff too.

I visited as a family of 6. For a place like Frankie and Benny's you don't expect to get fine dining quality food, which I feel some people expect. I was expecting decent food that costs what I pay for it and that's what I got.I ordered the Garlic mushrooms on bruschetta for starter and a penne arrabiata for main with a side of Garlic Pizza bread. The starter was very good, very tasty and good level of seasoning. The main was quite simple, spicy enough, could maybe have done with more seasoning. The garlic pizza bread side was a little undercooked and doughy but nonetheless it was enjoyed by my party. I got Tiramisu for dessert which was plentiful and rich. Though our waitress was incredibly polite and attentive, one thing I did find odd was that my 21 year-old brother did get Id'd by the waitress for a beer, despite there being his 2 older parents next to him. I believe it isn't illegal for a person of 16 or older to have a drink with a meal as long as they are accompanied by someone 18 or older so when this happened I was a little confused.We used the 33% off voucher code which nicely took £20 off of our bill. When you truly took into perspective what youre paying for in terms of food quality and service it adds up, I will definitely visit again with my family.

Quick, tasty, decently priced and served with a smile! I don’t ask for much - but Frankie & Bennys, Lincoln tick every box and pass with flying colours. Ok - the food isn’t sensational, but for what it is, it does superbly. Free refills on coffee and tea which you barely have to ask for as our waiter took care of us enough to ask when our cups looked empty. Perhaps the overly generous score is to combat the harsh reviews below - this is not a bad place to eat! And I come here enough to know that. I have the three egg omelette with different fillings each time to try them out!
