The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Fantastic food and service as usual, we have become regular diners here, the lovely Ria was very professional and was very welcoming thanks again to all the team !

Outstanding food with lovely hospitality. Everyone in the restaurant was having a good time with lots of laughter and this is no doubt down to the great friendly service and authentically cooked food. Definitely recommend this place.

Food was delicious. Particularly enjoyed the primavera lasagne and also the Affogato dessert. Service was great, friendly and helpful.

A great supper on a hot summer's night in beautiful Stamford. Such delicious bread to start, pasta main and creme brule to follow. Thank you

What a great little cafe,great friendly staff. Amazing cakes ! We visited twice and had coffee/tea with croissants,they were extremely tasty.

A freshly cooked brunch served in a lovely environment. Friendly staff. Very attentive. Coffees were really good too. Would thoroughly recommend!

Attentive staff, lovely place to eat, and the lunch menu is amazing value for money. We will definitely be back and would recommend to everyone 👍

It’s one thing to have good food made fresh, but to have it alongside amazing customer interaction/service just makes it better! Especially for a joyous wedding function - honestly Jonnie and his team are fab - will definitely be using the pizza shack for more functions in the future!! P.s still thinking about the cheesy garlic bread

The best Italian in Buxton. The food is delicious, the staff are brilliant and Gio is legendary. The perfect place for any occasion. Highly recommend.

We visited late afternoon yesterday and were the only people there. The interior is lovely and really spacious. We were quickly served. My daughter had pizza and I had the penne salmon and garlic bread to share. Both were lovely. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Lovely place.

Wow, the food is amazing, the service outstanding and we felt like we were the only customers in a full restaurant. I would travel an hour from my home to eat here again!

This pizza spot nails it every time, 10/10! Service is fast and straightforward, and the menu's packed with great choices. They use fresh ingredients, so every pizza comes out tasting fantastic. The base is spot-on—crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. What stands out is how fresh everything tastes, and it's always delivered hot. For the price, you're getting a real deal. Hands down, it's the place to hit up when you fancy a top-notch pizza at home.

Dined, at this amazing little gem of a restaurant many times.. Food always superb. Staff attentive & polite. Highly recommend the Moussaka! One of the best I have ever eaten! The Cesar Salad is delightful! Fresh ^ super tasty.. Look forward to my next dining experience here🙂

This has to be the best pizza not only in towcester but outside of Italy. If you have tried already, it's a must. I had a margarita with nduja and it was beyond spectacular.

Great restaurant and bar with a good menu. The specials were delicious and the service was so friendly and professional.
