The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Arrived 24th December for Christmas break. Heater in bathroom not working so , I went to reception. Answer was non of the bathrooms have heating due to "health and safety". Further information was that there has been no bathroom heating for 3 years and was told to leave the bathroom door open to allow the heat from the convection heater in. Have not stayed in a hotel with no heating in the bathroom for 40+ years, it's 2024 and December. Guests should be warned that bathrooms will be cold in winter. Room is tired and in need of refurbishment. Bar is like a cafe. Yet to sample food, but not hopeful.

Great selection and great service as always. Great atmosphere and value for money. Nothing is too much trouble. Thanks, Don and Emma.

Very overpriced for what you get! I had the salmon & avocado salad with the smallest tasteless piece of salmon I have ever tasted! My husband had lasagne whìch he enjoyed. The service was ok but we will never go again. I also note that Zizi's never respond to any customer reviews which is so poor!!

Been to Lucianos (Luccios? Carluccios??) a couple of times in the last year and it's a decent place for Italian. The food has been great, with a decent pizza, fantastic beef ragu, and the best carbonara I've graced my tastebuds with the second time. I cannot stress enough, the food is FANTASTIC. Portions could do with a little more, but what I've got thus far has tasted lovely. Both times I've come in the place has been eerily quiet, so either something's up with my timing or the place is just... quiet? Regardless, the service has been timely, albeit mild-mannered, both times which isn't an issue at all. There is a 12.5% service charge stuck on as a heads-up, which you'll find in tiny text at the bottom of the menu. Not a fan of that trend as a whole, as I'd much rather tip good service and good food where it's due. My only complaints are the pricing (which is *STEEP*, especially for Dorset at £50+ for dinner for two) and the fact they took beef ragu off the menu - it was a fantastic dish and taking it off the menu is a crime against humanity. Bring it back! Either way, Luciano's food is fantastic, on the proviso that you aren't the person paying for it... But I don't know if that says more about myself or the restaurant. If the staff were a bit chattier and the British economy wasn't doing an impression of the Titanic (or things were a bit cheaper), I'd give five stars.

The staff here are just so lovely! People really shouldn't be rude to them!

My in laws , like to go here when the go into Wycombe , they don’t go very often as they are in there 90s year !! Sadly we went in on Saturday and the service was quite appalling , it took absolutely ages , nearly and hour for our food to arrive , we had to ask a couple of times how long it would be and the blonde haired member of staff was downright rude . My in laws were very disappointed and we won’t be going back

The food is very tasty and the prices are right too. Service friendly.

Excellent food and value for money, beautifully presented and a chilled vibe, will definitely return!

Unfortunately chicken wrap was tasteless and dry. Definitely wouldn’t go there again. x2 coffees and x2 wraps £30 😱

Wow what a beautiful little restaurant ❤️ No tables available but was assured if we came back in 15 mins one would be available and it was saved for us! I had a 4 cheese pizza and it was proppppppa cheesy!! All staff are lovely, great background music and stefano was a lovely host! Happy new year and Thankyou for looking after us!! Ps we were not rushed at all which is a great trait to have, staff are happy and relaxed x

I had been trying to stop at this venue for a while, but it tends to be very busy on most occasions. The venue is compact but has an exciting appealing decor. It has bright colours and patterns. The cafe is immaculate which enhances its appeal. The service was friendly and speedy. The prices are typical for London, but the quality is great. I had a spiced chai latte that was very nice. My wife had the cake that she adored. Unfortunately, there were no gluten and dairy-free options available. Looking at the menu the main negative is that it does not have many dietary options. However, it is a nice cafe and provides a good place if you can find a seat.

We’re staying at the hotel, which was very good! However, our festive meal was booked in this restaurant. Three courses for the best part of £40.00 Starter….was ok, basically toast with tomatoes on it! The main course - steak…..with about 8 (frozen chips), two cherry tomatoes. The steak was tiny and should have been medium rare……it was like boot leather and had no taste whatsoever. It was in a word …..pathetic. Then the peppercorn sauce, we had to remind our servers that the steak came with this…did not turn up for ten minutes after the meal was served. Desert…..Three scoops of sorbet and ice cream…..you can’t really get this wrong! Luckily, this was a work event and not paid for by me….however, this reflects badly on Marco Pierre White and can say easily the worst steak I’ve ever had……rubbish

Lovely Kabab very good value for money

Booked the restaurant for dinner pre a show at the Birmingham Hippodrome as it was in the perfect location. Food was tasty, service was prompt and friendly, no complaints at all. Would recommend.

Charged nearly £30 for one pizza, but sent pizza with no cheese, explains it all really #throwaways
