The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Went in about 2pm on a Thursday so it was quiet. Only a small place but had a wonderful, welcoming staff, quick service and the pizza was served fast, got and was delicious.

Great place, lovely and comfortable feels like you are in Greece! Just make sure you put aside 24 years for your order 😘

Overall, it was a very disappointing evening. The recent reviews suggest a much better food experience, however we found it was a decidly average curry. Worst of all was the live music. We arrived and thought it was karaoke night however no that was the live act! The volume was very high, so we couldn't have a conversation over our meal and could barely hear the waiters. We would not recommend and will not return

Very friendly restaurant and people. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Service was good.

The real deal. Authentic Neapolitan cuisine as good as any I have tasted here in the UK. The food is prepared and delivered to your table with genuine Italian passion. Fantastic food, great service, a definite must if you find yourself in the area. Ciao!

We've been to La Piazza a couple of times now and both times have been very enjoyable. It has a nice atmosphere and the staff are nice too. The menu is good and although there are a couple of negative reviews on here, we found the choice, quality and quantity of the food excellent. We will definitely be coming back several times!

Absolutely fantastic evening, beautiful food served by amazing staff in a superb atmosphere and venue. First visit, already planning when we can return. Portions are perfect size and served fresh and hot, excellent quality ingredients at a very sensible price. Congratulations team you deserve the awards.

Visited on a busy Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy, but plenty of very attentive staff, so it was fine. Food orders taken quickly and food arrived promptly. Excellent selection of starters, pastas and mains. The pasta dish I had was very tasty, the best I’ve had in a long time. Would visit again, and would recommend

Wonderful place for a family meal. Great service. Jo - our waitress was very helpful and looked after us nicely. We had variety of meals (including the burger and mussels) and everything was very delicious.

First time at La Torre for us, celebrating our son & partners engagement and their birthdays. The meal was nice and the staff very pleasant & helpful.

The food was absolutely gorgeous. Hands down to the chef. We definitely order from there again. Best Italian I’ve had in a long time. The food arrived hot and on time nicely packaged. quality restaurant food and I would say as much effort was put into a home delivery meals as you would get seated within a restaurant. Totally impressed just hope I get the same next time.

Visited for Valentine Night Out, excellent food, lovely staff and nicely spaced out tables , nice not to be able to hear your neighbours conversation. Lovely staff presented me with a rose at the end of the evening, lovely gesture.

Let's get this straight it's pretty decent pizza. Not the best , but the best in the area. The problem is the customer service or lack of. Tonight we rang every 3-4 minutes for 20 minutes as the kids wanted pizza and no one ever picked up the phone and it kept redirecting to some mobile. Now if this was the first incidence of this I could let it slide but it's happened the last three times we have tried to order and gave in.

This is the best Italian restaurant I have eaten in in a long time. Grown-up servers who know their job and are pleasant in manner. Sensible menu. Decently done food. Proper wine list. Only niggle was that it was very noisy. All those hard surfaces you see (and that bloke at a nearby table who was banging on about his life story to his companions.) There was some entertainment: the wine store was a shelf behind where a group were sitting. A man had his back to the shelf and periodically was asked by the waitress to pull out a bottle of such-and-such wine that she needed for another table. All of this was done with good grace, and it was fun to watch. £72, two starters, two mains, bottle of Primitivo, two coffees We loved it.

We came her for my sisters birthday. The food was made fresh and all of our food was delicious. Staff were very attentive and service was great.
