The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Booked a table for my son's 10th birthday. We were running late so called the restaurant, they said it wasn't a problem as they weren't busy. Arrived late but was seated straight away in an almost empty restaurant. It took around 15 mins for a waiter to come to use to ask if we wanted drinks. As we had had so much time to talk and look at the menu we were able to order everything in one go. The food we bought to us in withing a reasonable time and was delicious, couldn't fault any of it. Our food arrived hot and generous portion sizes. Our waiter Tisha had noticed that my son was wearing a birthday badge and congratulated him on his birthday. After our mains we had decided we had enough food and declined pudding and asked for the bill. Tisha, along with 2 other colleagues came to our table with a bowl of brownies and ice cream for my son amd sang happy birthday to him. This was a beautiful touch to our meal and was a total shock to us all that they had done this for him. He loved the singing and the pudding even more. Overall, even after our rocky start to service it was a brilliant evening and my son said it was the best food he had ever had and it made his birthday. Thank you Tisha for your service. We will be back!

Lovely meal and great service. The assistant manager asked if we were celebrating and, when we told him it was our 31st anniversary, he gave us the deserts for free. Lovely guy who deserves to go far.

This is a real little gem! The food is really lovely, tasty and fresh. The restaurant is very welcoming and the service was brilliant. Not over priced which in today’s market is unusual. We would happily come here again

I had the Pollo Al Masala and all I can say is wow. Absolutely amazing, service was great. I would highly recommend Toninos to anyone.

Great service, we are gutted it’s closing as this has alway been our date night place 😞. We’ve been coming here for over 5 years now. The team are so friendly always look after us and make sure we get the table in the corner

This is an excellent location right opposite London bridge Station. The menu is good, I have dietary requirements which are catered for and reasonably priced. The service is friendly but a little slow.

He estado aquí casi innumerables veces con familiares y amigos y solo he tenido una mala experiencia (donde un camarero fue grosero cuando le preguntamos por nuestra comida cuando se había pedido hace más de una hora) y Ask Italian lo resolvió rápidamente y ofreció un comida de dos platos gratis. Seguiré regresando en los próximos años, las vistas del Támesis son brillantes y la comida siempre es excelente.

We had a family meal there on a Saturday lunch time. There were a lot of us, so we pre-ordered the food. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks.

This is a nice clean restaurant. The food was amazing. We also wanted to make a special mention to Lilana who was serving the whole restaurant. She has a number of table but we were never made to feel like we were waiting. She is very lovely. Also a special thank u to the chef who appeared to be the only chef on. Again none of us were left waiting. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Service - Rubbish Wait Time - Rubbish Food - Rubbish Price - Rubbish (Includes a service charge for poor service make that make sense) Advice - Big Fat Avoid!

Went here for a bite to eat to be harshly barked at by the waitress that unless you have a booking they do not do walk ins. Apparently they are so short staffed in this place this is the reason. So instead we found an amazing restaurant the other end of the high street callled Don Vincenzo . It was really the opposite of pizza express ! We got such a warm welcome and the staff were friendly and there were plenty of them . So do yourself a favour and go to Don Vincenzo, it’s half the price, food is amazing and the staff actually WANT and WELCOME you there .

When we arrived it was a third full, but half the empty tables were dirty, covered in used plates and glassware. The glasses on our table were dirty along with the glass I was given with a drink, on asking for a clean glass I was told there weren’t any clean glasses in the restaurant! Two front of house staff spent the hour we were there chatting and ignoring the tables that needed clearing and the customers. One of the starters was cold as it had visibly been sat on the side for all the time it took to make the second. Parmesan was brought to the table in a pot with old encrusted food on. Waited 15 minutes after main course for anyone to come over as they were busy chatting. Gave up on ordering dessert as everything was taking an inordinate time. Very, very, disappointing.

Booked a table to eat on Friday only to arrive on time to be told they only accepted card payments , wow and no mention of this fact on the booking or confirmation e-mail, we will not bother wasting our time again as there are so many other more deserving resterants to choose from in the area that actually take real money

Lutterworth is a half way point for two friends meeting up for the first time in ages. Hadn't booked anywhere and don't know Lutterworth and Cheikhos looked friendly and inviting (and had a few tables occupied already). Ordered their special pizza (steak) and their veg pizza and we were both thrilled with our choice. Pizzas arrived hot, full to bursting of tasty ingredients and delicious. Didn't really need the rocket and parmesan salad as a side but enjoyed it anyway! Staff were friendly, quiet and helpful and gave us absolutely no pressure as we talked the night away. Couldn't finish the pizzas they were so large and filling so can't comment on the puds! Definitely coming back - and parking is only a few yards away!

Went to this restaurant at Sidcup on Friday Very good food very good service. Didn’t have to wait very long. The waitress was fantastic. Her name is Sally she persuaded us to have the dessert which was yummy. Sally was very professional and made us very welcome definitely go back
