The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Food was excellent, 6 of us all had different food, starters, main courses, desserts were all excellent. Soup, pate, bruschetta. Sea bass, lasagne, chicken risotto and pasta. Tiramasu, ice cream, souffle! Everything beautifully served and delicious. Service and staff very friendly, and efficient. Thank you for a wonderful time.

We had a lovely lunch in this retro style restaurant. The lunch menu is incredibly good value including a starter, a main and a glass of house wine for less than £15. I had a baked egg with spinach and seabass with potatoes and veg. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommend the week day lunch!

You can’t beat this place. A proper Italian ambiance from the style and the decor as you come in. The menu is a feast, such a wide offering in contemporary Italian food surely covering the taste requirements of anyone. The problem is what to choose because everything sounds so good. We had a variety of starter dishes all of which were beautifully presented and served promptly. The main course we had included super house pasta, a lovely baked tender chicken dish, and the mouth watering Fegato (liver). Desert is a real treat and is still presented on the traditional desert trolley- that I remember at this restaurant for the last 30 years but you can’t deny how it whets the appetite when you see all the proper home made deserts on show. The wine list is extensive and well varied Finally the staff- well they are well trained clearly and extremely professional in how they serve and deliver the food with linen napkins to boot. However, September the clearly well drilled quick and smart service they are approachable and engaging with customers laughing and joking appropriately making a wonderful atmosphere. There is nothing you could possibly want they don’t have at this restaurant and is equally wonderful for a couple or For bigger groups. As my 90 year old father (who’s been coming for 30 years’ said after this visit- they haven’t let any of their high standards drop. Brilliant thank you and well done

Lovely building, menu and reviews were good but not our experience. Meal was lukewarm and small portion, side dish didn't arrive till too late. Both M/F toilets either didn't have paper or were out of order.

As a family party of 10 we booked Christmas dinner here for a 3:30 sit down meal with all the trimmings. The way the tables were set up and decorated was very nice. THE FOOD WAS A DIFFERENT STORY the toast with the ham hock terrine was soft and soggy as though it had been done the day before. There was no finesse with the service either, it was as though the waiting staff had very little idea of what they were doing. When the main course came some of the meal was cold others portions had been cooked to within an inch of it’s existence the turkey well I think it was turkey was from a processed roll joint al be it a generous portion. The roast potatoes had no crunch although my three green beans were ok. The carrots were cold and wrinkled as though they were cooked on a different day. As for gravy everything was completely drowned in gravy why not let people poor there own. My daughter never has gravy but today like it or not you are having it. DESSERT well this was pot luck some of the trifles came in quite large stemmed bowls others in short stubby glasses with half as much. I opted for tiramisu which looked like I had had a piece cut off because another of my party was served a smaller piece the myself. There was absolutely no comparison with any other portion of dessert. For £80 each I thought it was poor, the quality of the food the service and the portions TERRIBLE

El Linguini con Almejas (Vongole) es excelente! Este es un pequeño restaurante italiano auténtico de estilo familiar. Me recuerda a los restaurantes italianos de Brooklyn, NY con los que crecí en los 80. El servicio es bueno y rápido, la comida es deliciosa y los precios son muy caros. Estoy de vacaciones desde Estados Unidos, TX y planeo cenar aquí sirve tiempos durante mi estancia.

Booked here for dinner after our granddaughters party was seated up stairs all together enjoyed our relaxing visit great food and service and sang happy birthday to out two year old granddaughter

Un auténtico italiano pequeño, con un encantador menú italiano clásico. Una gran parada antes de un evento, justo al lado de Waterloo. Además, a un precio muy razonable

Had a lovely lunch here today. We chose off the main menu as it was still 50%off . The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. Will be coming back,well worth a visit.

The menu changes frequently which is good, but it it is now turning into a pizza & pasta restaurant. Starters were disappointing, bruschetta was pizza dough with 3 sliced cold tomatoes & a spoonful of green pesto, balsamic garlic bread was also pizza dough. Rip off at £7.50 each! small bottle of pepsi £3.75 each! I'm glad I had a 2 for 1 voucher! Don't think I'll be going back...to much pizza dough.

We went to prezzo yesterday with our 18 month old Grandson. The young man who served us was so nice & nothing was to much trouble. It makes such a change these days to get good service. The young lady sorry I didn’t get either of your names was also lovely. Food was delicious & prompt. Music was fantastic right up our street. We will be back. Thank you.

A really welcoming and enjoyable evening for us netball girls! Our host was brilliant and very attentive and joined in with our ridiculous conversations, making us all laugh even more. Great choice of food and drinks - at least three of us had the El Gamboreni (the delish prawn pasta dish). The ambience of being in a cosy, fire going atmosphere meant we didn't really want to leave! 100% will be back.

Lovely family meal. Will definitely visit again

I've been here plenty of times before with work, beautiful food, lovely gentleman who prided the establishment for customer care. So I brought my husband here telling him how wonderful it was going to be. What happened?? We were pointed to a table, not seated. No water brought to the table. No coats hung for us. No welcome. No discussing the menu choices ... The steak was amazing but tiny, the roast veg I had wasn't pleasant. After the meal my husband who doesn't eat dessert said he was going to have to have dessert as he was still hungry. But alas we were not offered coffee or dessert, the plates were removed and no one came to us. Eventually we gave it up as a bad job and called to an all night supermarket for snacks. A really lack lustre evening, £27 for a steak and left feeling hungry, customer service? .... well I just felt we had interrupted someone's quiet night.
