The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

The cafe style ambience belies the gourmet style food which is served. A mixture of meat and vegetarian dishes - all presented beautifully and tasting delicious. Lovely, friendly service. Most enjoyable

Probably the worst dining experience of our lives which I don’t take any pleasure saying. We had never been here before but our friends are local And have They always spoke highly of the restaurant. The food, the atmosphere and service so we were so looking forward to going. The service was awful as we never received our focaccia bread or a bottle of red wine The portions were so small it resembled a starter and we all left hungry still. We understood from the 2 Asian ladies looking after the restaurant that the two Italian lady owners were busy setting up a new pizza parlour in Liverpool Street. I’m afraid that whilst you’re doing that your Woodford business is suffering Sad as I’m sure it’s taken you a lot of hard work to build

Went Saturday 9th March. The food was great, the waiter provided a lovely service and the restaurant had a nice vibe. Compliments to the staff.

I cannot begin to tell you the issues I have had with this restaurant. The service was so slow. The food was awful. Some food was indelible and some didn’t even arrive to the table. The live music did not show up at all. I have been trying to get a response for 4 weeks to no avail. I would urge you not to book here. Still awaiting a call back and now their number is not working. Disappointed even doesn’t come close. Shame as the service from Julie up to the night I couldn’t fault.

We went with a group of friends that included several of us with babies/small children. The pizza was very good and the service was okay, but the major disappointment was that there were no baby change facilities, despite having a bathroom that was large enough to include a changing table. This meant that all of the people with small children or babies had to change their kids on the floor which is frankly unappealing and not great hygienically.

The evening was okay. Service was good although felt a bit unfriendly, perhaps they were busy. Our starters and desserts were nice. We had Melanzane Alla Parmigiana and Funghi Fritti to start and for desserts we had the Pear Cheesecake and a Chocolate Fondant with ice cream. We had x 2 prawn pasta mains that were very bland - one of which was Tagliolini al nero di seppia con gamberi (black pasta with prawns and a cherry tomato sauce) and the other which was the Tagliatelle con gameri spinaci (prawn and spinach pasta) and believe me it was just that - no seasoning, nothing. Two very ronseal mains with nothing extra - I was expecting more. We were quite disappointed after hearing such great reviews so not sure I'd visit again and if I did I wouldn't have a pasta dish.

Excellent Italian (Sardinian ) Food shop. Alot of variety of Italian Food and Wine Reasonable Prices - Staff very efficient and Friendly

Excellent food, pipping hot & great customer service. Amazing milkshakes! HIGHLY recommend! Thank you Royalty!

This is the best food hall pizza I have eaten. This Napoli pizza is the very best in London in unlikely location. Choose my topping, salami, chicken, extra cheese, and wild rocket.

Oh Dear Oh Dear. you've gone down the automated route al la Leon etc. I went into the Margaret Street store this morning for a crispy bacon baguette. The 1st thing which struck me was that the shop looked closed! No activity except for three young people laughing and joking in a huddle sitting on the benches close to the counter. I stood at the counter for a few moments waiting to give my order and was again struck by the lack of activity. After a while one of the kids in the huddle pointed to the far wall and said "you order here". With a sunken heart I saw the 6 or so automated order screens. My experience of these things is a) its not a human and b) they rarely work. I had also recently gone into Leon on the Strand who have installed something similar and the whole soul of the experience had been ripped out. With heavy heart I approached the 1st screen and, as instructed, tapped to start. I tapped again. And again. and a few more times. I then moved on to another screen and another and another. No joy. none of them would load when I tapped. When I turned around for assistance the kids just carried on laughing and joking . So I went to Greggs on Great Titchfield Street, which is cheaper at any rate!

Pizza tasteless and over cooked not nice at all like used to be at other location . Sadly won't be returning not nice pizza at all .

Paid more for the new packaging, less food than before, never used to charge for the chilli beef on the loaded fries now an extra £3.00 on top of what you already pay. Food is lovely but expensive for what you get!!

Our local Chinese was closed so I decided to try a local pizza .we had an Hawaiian and a veggie .the base was uncooked there was virtually no pineapple but when it can to the ham it was cut into the smallest squares you could get …will I return never should have gone across the road to papa John …

We booked our stay on line. Didn’t read much about it, just checked it was all on one level. Wish we could have stayed longer than one night! Out 2 rooms were lovely and clean, warm and welcoming. Reception explained everything clearly to us. Our only criticism was the bed was very low. Comfortable but low down. If we had stayed longer I would have asked to change room. Breakfast was amazing, everything you could ask for and more. All that we had was of good quality. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay.
