The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We previously ate here last October and it was perfect food was beautiful and the staff were so attentive the gentleman server went above and beyond and was brilliant however the same could not be said for today. We arrived through the door downstairs with no one to greet you so we waited a good 10 minutes wondering if we just sit down anywhere when we finally saw a member of staff he simply said ‘upstairs’ no greeting or directions just ‘upstairs’. When we’d got to the second floor there again was no one to seat you the waitress didn’t even acknowledge we had walked in so we again were unsure if to sit down or not but saw a lot of others sat so we proceeded to the nearest table where the waitress finally came over and chucked menus on the table, again no greeting or pleasantries exchanged, I managed to ask if where we was sat was okay before she’d left again which was annoying as we clearly needed a high chair for our infant daughter which she didn’t even acknowledged to either say ‘would you like a high chair or if you need a high chair they’re located X’ I had to send my partner searching for one. She took our order and we wasn’t waiting too long for our drinks but the food seemed to take ages. The food was nothing to write home about it wasn’t the same level that we experienced last time and for the prices you pay you expect a lot more I felt like the food today was the same level you’d expect to get from a Witherspoon's. The service we received overall was really poor, the waitress even booted the high chair on her way past to another table and she didn’t even apologise. Really disappointed with our visit to Capri at the container this time, we won’t be returning.

Now called Calvers, a stunning lunch, with three different pasta dishes, all authentic and a great wine selection. Superb attention and service throughout from Molly and her team. Thank you

The best Italian food! My lasagne was perfect, my partner had venison ragu which again was perfect. The setting was stunning as well. Look forward to eating here again

Mi primera visita a este precioso restaurante fue con mi hija, y tuvimos la mejor comida italiana que habíamos experimentado, así que regresé con mi esposo ya que quería saber de qué se trataba el alboroto. Casa Italia tiene un gran ambiente, el personal es precioso, la comida es deliciosa. Nos encanta todo sobre Casa Italia.

If you want to indulge yourself into a relaxed meal with good Italian food, here you will have it. Having been restaffed, service is very nice, which adds up to the experience. I will repeat it!

So unbelievably sad to see the end of this fine establishment! I have been a customer since 1980. Simply wonderful! Mario's front-of-house skills coupled with Gianni's cooking (and drumming) expertise meant a night here was always a special occasion. In fact, although it could be argued that a restaurant should be judged primarily on its culinary qualities, it was the combination of service, food, ambience and bon homie that made Mario & Gianni's stand out. Birthday meals, romantic meals and company meals - all were hosted here with aplomb! A great loss to Hazel Grove. Footnote: I went to visit Gianni at the hospice when the cruellest disease of them all was taking him. With characteristic joviality, he said he was looking forward to meeting David Bowie and Elvis. 😊

nice place, friendly and coffee and pastries very nice. pleasant staff and clean at the time of the visit. smokers can sit outside toilets - look like zillion years old and well past their sell by date - why have they not been updated?

Lovely place with a great selection of delicious food. I loved the vitello tonnato! Definitely a place for a nice relaxing dinner with fast service.

La comida mediocre, insípida y el mal servicio llevaron a esta calificación. Tuvimos el menú degustador de chefs a 45 libras por cabeza, así que esperaba algo de buena comida... por desgracia no. La comida estaba fría, sin condimentar y con sabor - de hecho he estado ligeramente enfermo desde que comí la comida (esto fue lo único que comí en todo el día). Los tomates de una serie de platos sabían sosos y en lugar de fuentes especiales probablemente se encuentran en el contenedor de gangas de un supermercado. El pollo estaba ayer - su textura del día anterior y guardado en una nevera demasiado tiempo - todo en toda la comida no condimentada y pobre. El servicio combinaba con la comida... con muchas cosas que se acababan y sin alternativas ofrecidas. En general, si vas a otro lugar en el mercado, obtendrás mucha mejor comida por un precio mucho mejor.

It was quite late and we were on the look out for something light and this was the only place available taking orders. I ordered chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce in the cup, oh boy was it chocolaty!! Chocoholics would be in heaven! Normally I wouldn't have chocolate on chocolate but unfortunately the other flavours wasn't doing anything for me. My friend loved what she ordered, she hasn't a large appetite but she finished her large scoop with no issues! All in all the ice cream was only ok, and is really expensive for what you get.

Order was on time, didn’t hear me door and the app kept saying my order was delayed, called the restaurant twice was advised they were sending new one, didn’t turn up would like a refund

We visited SCOOZI PIZZERIA on Wednesday night for a light bite before the Fleetwood Mac by Candlelight Concert at Southwell Minster. What a find!!! The restaurant, the staff, the lovely atmosphere, the service and the food were all absolutely gold standard exceptional. A freshly cooked Pizza using a rainbow of fresh vegetables, spiced and seasoned exactly to our liking, served piping hot. It was obvious that SCOOZI is very, very popular in the area, as the takeaway custom was constant. My husband maintains that his Pizza was the best he had ever enjoyed. We will definitely be going back, making the trip just to visit SCOOZI. Thankyou to you all *****

What a fantastic quaint B&B. The room was comfortable, warm, and had everything we needed. Cups etc were replenished and milk and water was available in a fridge. The owners were lovely very friendly and extremely helpful in organising taxis, food and catering to our every need- including early check in, allergies etc. We really appreciated it. Would definitely stay in this quirky, friendly place again.

Came in for a work meeting. service was excellent, especially by Liam. Food was quality. Would recommend highly, as it’s so warming inside

La comida estuvo grandiosa. Mi esposa y yo tomamos pizza. Fue muy fresco y auténtico. Nuestro servicio fue bueno, aunque parecía un poco lento. Habíamos pedido pan y aceitunas como aperitivo, que se olvidaron de traernos. Terminamos comiendo después de nuestra pizza. A pesar de la confusión, todavía estaba delicioso y se ofrecieron a darnos gratis. El ambiente y la decoración son muy agradables. Nos sentimos como si estuviéramos en Italia.
