The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We came here as a party of 9 for birthday. I’m glad I had a jumper on, this restaurant is cold! Food was nice, waitresses were lovely, but was too cold for me.

Anoche no había nada de Bella en Bella Italia. Pedimos ensalada César, pero tuvimos que enviarla de vuelta, recibimos un plato de lechuga flácida, pollo frío seco cubierto de polvo enorme de queso parmesano. La pizza de reemplazo no era mucho mejor, sospechan firmemente que era directamente del congelador. Hay muchos mejores restaurantes en la zona.

¡Oh Dios! ¿Qué le ha pasado a Nonna's - el ir - a un lugar para comida decente y un gran servicio? Fue a una cena de cumpleaños con amigos. Llegamos tarde (culpa mía) pero las primeras palabras que el maitre d' pronunció no fueron 'Bienvenido' sino 'Tienes suerte de que no regalé tu mesa'. Entonces no se toma ninguna orden durante 30 minutos. Un montón de mesas gratuitas por lo que no había necesidad de actuar como si fueran clientes asediados golpeando las ventanas. La comida estaba bien, pero muy caro para lo que se podía reunir mejor en casa. Ahorra dinero y vete a otro lado.

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!

Managed to get a reservation the same day, friendly welcome and seated at a lovely table for 3, atmosphere was very nice and the house white wine was fabulous. We ordered the chicken parmo, lamb kebab and pepperoni pizza all of which was absolutely delicious. 10/10 and would definitely recommend. Portion sizes were large and service was excellent. Would definitely recommend and we will be back very soon.

Service not so good but the food was ok The servers didn’t look like they wanted to be there which is always a shame. Food is a bit pricey especially when there is about 6 of you. Service took so long that we kept on getting hungrier in between courses so won’t be going back here

Don’t visit that often but have in the past and felt was ok. Decided to go again and found that the restaurant itself was bland with no mood or atmosphere. I remembered a lovely mural on the wall of an Italian scene - now painted over so just plain walls, with stark lighting. Menu was much reduced, with more Spanish ingredients than Italian - chicken, chorizo and nduja making up about four different dishes. Several of the dishes we were told we unavailable due to them not having the right pasta🫤, after one half of Pironi, they had run out… this is early on a Friday night…. And no honeycomb gelato. The meals were ok, I could have done better myself and will do next time… cheese and garlic bread was their only saviour… that was nice. But what tipped me over the edge to write this review was when we came to pay, we were informed that they couldn’t take cash, not a surprise these days, but that they also couldn’t take a card as the machine wasn’t working…. 🤦‍♀️ I had no signal so needed Wi-Fi…. They don’t have it apparently…. So their solution was to write their bank details on a piece of paper and make everyone do a bank transfer straight away before leaving the building…. And you also had to leave you phone number so if you didn’t pay the right amount the could ring you. Very poor. We felt sorry for the waitresses who were very apologetic and appeared embarrassed every time they had to deliver bad news to us for various reasons…Otherwise they were very pleasant. Get out while you can would be our advice to them, as the writing is on the wall for the business as far as we can see. Will not be visiting again under the current management. Shame…😕

El servicio fue pésimo, peor imposible. Fui con mi familia, la comida no hay como describirla grasienta, de supermercado, el menú infantil, me lo cobraron y solo le trajeron al menor un plato, cuando deberian traer 3 y aun por encima no cobrarlo porque tienen una oferta y lo peor a la hora de pagar me cobraron la propina 2 veces. En resumidas cuentas nada recomendable, pésimo en trato y calidad y aún por encima caro, muy caro para lo que sirven. Id a cualquier sitio menos aquí Es local de Paddington Ahhhh!!!! Se me olvidaba y la limpieza, inexistente, vimos como limpiaban y no limpiaban...

Enjoyed a nice evening out on Tastecard which gives us 2 for 1. We had starters and main and drinks. Roxie delivered great service and she made our visit tonight extra special with her personable manner and this being her first week at Prezzo! Worth noting that portions (esp starter) has shrunk and prices have crept up but with a voucher or Tastecard it is still worth it :-)

Very friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately my pasta was overcooked and the meat was a bit flavourless. The antipasti were great and desserts too. We also had a pizza that was quite below the standard of London's pizza places nowadays. A lot of potential, but a missed opportunity for now.

Lovely little restaurant with a good menu, food delicious and plentiful, staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Bonus that it’s dog friendly too. Brilliant little find

The Owner, Ben, is a magician. Amazing food, fresh ingredients, atmosphere is amazing. Staff is supper friendly, deliocious breakfeasts, in city centre, good coffee, nice tea. Clean and neat. 71A Northgate, next to parking. I higly recommend it. As well as Pizza yard. Enjoy! Bellisdimo!!!
