The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Rude staff asked us if we wanted any more drinks before the bar closed so we ordered a bottle of wine. Half an hour later they told us we weren't allowed to drink the wine as they were closed🤷🏻‍♀️ Also weren't allowed to sit outside to drink the bottle of wine they had let us buy.

Whole experience was spoilt after receiving the bill, £28 for four Pepsi sized bottles of cider, mark up on them must be ridiculous!

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

Bland and uninspiring. Expensive too. Used to be excellent when small portions were offered for a good price and you could have a few to make a tasty lunch. Lasagne I had was just mush with no discernible layers of pasta and very bland. Items have been dropped from the menu, but the the menu has not been reprinted, so when you order you are told, “we don’t do that anymore” well, reprint the up to date menu then!

My family and I eat at Pasco's quite often, and the food is always absolutely delicious. The vegetarian calzone is a personal favourite. The staff are lovely and friendly, and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere.

As usual when visiting Cancellos we had Excellent Food, Service and Ambience! We will be back soon! Karen Walsh and Kaye xx

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!

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.
