The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

This is an excellent restaurant with authentic Italian food and wine. The service is great and has good ambiance. It was a business dinner and the staff went out of their way to make Eve feel comfortable.

Had a bad experience here, food and service lovely but didn’t expect to be harassed by drunk patrons at 10.30am, the man in question was being served alcohol with no food and unsurprising started to kick off. There weren’t enough staff to deal with him so a fellow diner had to take charge and manage to persuade him to leave when upon he continued to rant and rave at us all from the pavement. I don’t know the law regarding alcohol service before midday but I didn’t expect it at this time of day and won’t go again despite the lovely position and food, the management are putting the staff at risk as no one came to assist the two female staff on site.

There are two ladies who work in here who are unfailingly polite, cheerful, unobtrusive and friendly. The reason for my adding of an extra star from my previous review is because of them. However, it seems that this branch of Costa attracts young male staff who are loud, use audible bad language and are over familiar (I object to being called ‘mate’). When I come to a Costa, I am expecting/hoping that I won’t be disturbed or distracted by very loud conversations, lots of ‘f’ words and inane ‘banter’.

Can not fault from entry to leaving all good, food was enjoyable , my only issue with prezzo is different people pay different prices for the same item due to having voucher of not

Un punto de venta de esta sucursal en Spiatlfields es la ubicación no central: todavía atrae a los lugareños y al distrito comercial, pero menos turistas y, por lo tanto, menos posibilidades de que haya mesas sin reserva. Este lugar debería haber puntuado cerca de las mejores calificaciones donde no es para el - el precio por ración es exorbitante - comida fría devuelta repetidamente - ancora e ancora - sin ambiente de cocina italiana en los platos Un restaurante temático que sirve comida sin remover. . . ¡safari!

A cosy atmosphere, the best of the prezzos! The loviest staff with delicious food and beautiful decorations. Such a shame it is closing, it will be surely missed, has always been the one to go to for birthdays and special occasions! Thank you to Jane and all the staff.

After receiving the incorrect order, I was told on 3 separate occasions that the manager would contact me with instructions/how to get my money back. As a customer, I listened, silly me. After many deceitful conversations over the phone, my trusting nature was again abused. I was told that it had been over 24hrs, so they couldn't do anything. Confused, I ask why they told me to wait for an email......obviously it was their policy to take advantage of customers. To this day, I'm out of pocket by £15. Polite throughout on the phone, I can only imagine their staff laughing at me and this post. As for the food I ordered......can't comment. As for the food that arrived.......meh.

Had a fantastic meal, everyone really enjoyed it. We're vegetarian and there was a good choice and would recommend the house salad too

Pizzas soggy, seafood spaghetti 4 smalls mussels, 5 tiny prawns. Pretty awefull food. We will not be going back !!

Friendly staff, amazing food we all enjoyed everything we ordered..it was busy dtaff cleared vacated tables & relaid them so fast we were impressed..meal didnt take to long to arrive..& was very tasty.

Excelente comida italiana, una visita obligada. Empezó con el aperitivo de calamares, cocinado a la perfección. Seguido con una cerveza para mí y un vino tinto para mi hijo. Luego tomé la pasta penne Arrabiata y mi hijo tomó la pasta carbonara, la mejor. Terminado con la crema brûlée, final perfecto para una comida fantástica. El personal era rápido, eficiente y atento. Total 64 libras. 79 . ¡El almuerzo perfecto!

We visited with some friends for the first time today. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food delicious. We’ll be back.

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.

An anniversary meal and chose what WAS a great restaurant The text sent the dat before stating that had to reply with name number and time of booking made over a week ago as it would not be confirmed till this detail was given. Welcome was not what had previously experienced there and not given a great table. Had to ask one of the four waitresses if we could order a drink 10 minutes after being sat down - wouldn’t have minded but there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starter without ‘peppers’ I had to explain to the waitress what peppers were as in “bell peppers, the green, red, yellow, orange ones- bit worrying really was not asked if we had any allergies which was surprising as this is a repeated question you’re asked nowadays. After and hour of arriving for our reservation, ordering and finishing our starter the main came. My wife ordered smoked salmon and pasta, what arrived was cooked salmon in the pasta not smoked a totally different taste and flavour. I asked to check the menu and smoked was stated, we explained this to who appeared to be the head waitress, who could not comprehend the difference in cooked or smoked, no apology or explanation was given and we were only asked to reselect, lasagna was asked for. I had ordered and had a lovely veal Milanese, with salad, which I finished, my wife asked that hers now be cancelled as would not want to eat on her own as I was finished, minutes later a lasagne arrived this was duly returned and the bill asked for. Very unprofessional No apology Poor service A total and unfortunate change and a restaurant I will not voluntarily go to again Times are a changing and this is a shamefully wrong direction

Thought I’d write a review since this place wasn’t open last week when I wanted to eat there and really hope it opens again soon. I’ve been coming here for six years ever since I moved to the area with friends, my partner or even just by myself. My friends and I love it as a down to earth, independent Italian restaurant with fair prices - so hard to come by these days. Their food is great - pizza, pasta, crunchy Ceaser salad and nice house red too. I love the semi-old school decor. I threw a bday party here on a Friday evening once and service was amazing for such a large table.
