The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Well where do I start.Everything apart from service was very disappointing.The food was tasteless. Literally no flavours whatsoever…I have never had such a bland food…This has to be addressed….Service was very good and welcoming but food spoiled entire experience ….That’s a huge shame….Please - owners - speak with your chefs….

My wife is a Vegan.So she was delighted to see a separate Vegetarian and Vegan menu with lots of choice. Except, of course, that most things were vegetarian not Vegan. And a lot of the Vegan options included fake meat.Nothing wrong with that ...except my wife's a Vegan because she doesn't like the taste of meat! There was only one pizza without fake meat..and that was a Vegan Margarita! Boring. And they couldn't even add Mushrooms because all their mushrooms are pre buttered. Here's the good bit of the story! The manager was an absolute sweetheart. He explained why the Vegan choice was limited and then offered to put any vegetables they had available on the pizza. Then the Vegan chef sacrificed some of his personal Mushrooms, so she got a Mushroom and vegetable pizza, which was delicious! ( my lasagne was fab and the Vegan garlic bread was lovely!) Lovely food and top notch service..so I can recommend Prezzos. But a little flexibility from the top might be helpful here...a selection of untainted vegetables to top a pizza should be very easy to supply.

Booked for dinner with the kids. Had mussels special and cheesy garlic bread to start - excellent quality and so tasty. Kids had Napoli pasta and pizza - fresh and huge portions. Mains were a fillet steak cooked to perfection and a lasagna - also very good. The girl serving was very friendly and great with the kids. Highly recommend!

I honestly dont know why this place is quiet, eight pound for 2 course meal is great value for money, always leave totally stuffed. Biere morrati on tap and really clean. Staff so friendly and attentive.

It’s always a pleasure to visit Da Vinci’s which is a true credit to Hornchurch. Our latest experience was on Saturday evening when we enjoyed more delightful Italian food and wine along with excellent service from Rodici , Laura and Giovanni. Craig and his team really have made this restaurant a fantastic place for locals to visit with very reasonable prices and perfectly cooked food. Then the team are always there with friendly service you would expect in a local restaurant. Last night we enjoyed the Polpette , Calimari , Pollo alla Milanese , Sea Bream before being treated to a special dessert. If for some reason you never been here I would definitely recommend doing so. Many Thanks to all the staff and see you again soon.

Great food and service. Lovely people! We went on a whim and it was great

Encantador almuerzo de domingo, gran servicio como siempre de París, Jade, Ellie Mae, Rhia y más uno que me disculpo no recibió su nombre. Crédito al equipo de chefs y cocina, entrantes y almuerzo bien presentados. Encantador ambiente agradable, casa desde casa, bien hecho todo

Olivia was a fantastic waiter! Great food, spices adapted to our taste. Prompt service. Polite, respectful. Too much pepper on Carbonara, but feedback to chefs. Hopefully just a one off mistake.

Held a lunch for 47 members and friends to present trophies to the Club competition winners. Nothing was too much trouble. We were well looked after leading up to and on the day. Event was a great success. Will do it again.

Reservamos una mesa en línea antes de llegar a Londres, llegamos al restaurante unos 40 minutos antes, pero dijeron que no era un problema. Nos mostraron a nuestra mesa por un miembro del personal muy acogedor y amable que poco después tomó nuestras bebidas y comida. Poco después de que nuestras comidas aparecieron y eran geniales los niños pizza era masiva si hubiéramos sabido que eran tan grandes que solo habríamos pedido 1 para compartir. Nuestras comidas también vale la pena una visita

I was raving about this place to my partner but unfortunately this time wasn’t the greatest experience. I had the mixed grill, wasn’t asked how I wanted my meat cooked so it all came out overcooked. Wasn’t asked about my meal so just left most of it. Partners spaghetti bolognaise had a lot of sauce. Offer a nice deal of 3 courses for £13.95 but sneak the prices in for the extras, £4.50 for 4 slices of bread and a full bowl of olives we didn’t touch. The one good thing was the starters were good. Soup was very nice.

Tres adultos, tres niños. Tenía temprano, tres platos £ 20. Precioso de principio a fin, muy sabroso y de buen tamaño de porción, los niños de 15 , 13 y 10 años realmente lo disfrutaron y no dejaron nada en sus platos. Camareras muy serviciales, amables y en la pelota, ya que se puso bastante ocupado.

Lovely place great food great staff had my 60th there with family everything when so well from getting there to service 16 of us without haven’t to wait for food and always making sure we were alright definitely go back.

Mi única cucharada de helado fue pesada minuciosamente en balanzas detrás del mostrador antes de que me lo sirvieran. Gran sabor y calidad en este lugar, pero esto chupó todo el disfrute de mi experiencia y la relación calidad-precio, esto no es! ¡Qué decepcionante!

We last visited La Bocca in "Lockdown". We had to order here then go to the pub next door to eat the pizza. It wasn't good. We thought it was time to try it again. We were very pleasantly surprised. It's small but the food is good. We had Bruschetta to start, and it was so good we ordered a second helping. The pizzas (Vegetable and Margherita) were tasty, although the crust was a little thick. We finished off with Affogato. All in all it was a very good evening, I even liked the music! Service is fast and efficient; they don't take bookings on Saturday, but we turned up at 6 p.m. and there was no queue. Well worth a visit when in Bude. We'll be back!
