The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Brilliant weekend live entertainment great food great staff 💯 recommend this pub really enjoyed it! Will be back soon!

First time we’ve been & was not disappointed, food was great, staff very attentive & good atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit

Very warm welcome, it was quiet. Limited gluten free choices. Food was run of the mill though. Had antipasto and chicken.

Funghi Con Aglio - mushrooms garlic tomatoes vegan cheese & side salad Cherry sorbet Salmon Filet cherry tomatoes garlic and herbs & side salad Pistachio ice cream WOW! Absolutely delicious food and very reasonably priced with helpful friendly and informed service. Every time we visit Mablethorpe we make sure we book a table at Gerardo’s - just fabulous!

Another visit to one of our favourite restaurants. As usual the food was excellent. Filetto Rosetti and Linguine Carbonara, both cooked to perfection and with beautiful presentation. Desert of tiramisu and a nicely presented cheese board, Full marks to Rosettis and the team.

La comida estaba deliciosa, pero un poco aceitosa en el restaurante. Nos atendió un camarero llamado, Louis que era amable y amable durante todo nuestro tiempo allí. Gracias por la maravillosa experiencia gastronómica ; )

Look to be quite honest, any Uber or pizza place which doesn’t take the restaurant off the app and still takes your money is a super disgrace lost a lot of respect for this place and word-of-mouth is karma in a nutshell.

Visited today for Sunday lunch and honestly couldn't fault it. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive, the food was absolutely first class, and I cant recommend La Fonte highly enough.

Absolutely delicious sandwiches. Lovely fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Great value. And the best hot chocolate ever!

Today 10/8/2024 we were on our way to Mablethorpe to enjoy a family holiday and some time out after my husband sadly losing his beloved grandma 4 weeks prior. We unfortunately broke down just outside of Lincoln, luckily we were fixed by the AA back on the road within a couple of hours. Great we thought! not 32 miles later the car breaks down AGAIN! Luckily for us, just outside the lovely Bambarinos Italian restaurant! What was an extremely stressful day was made to feel a little bit easier by the kind and generous people here! Giving myself and hubby tea and coffee and my children pizza and chips free of charge. Thank you so much, it’s nice to know there’s still kind and genuine people in the world. Your kindness meant so much today. Cheryl & Dean Willis

Went to the Ropers with friends ..our first visit. Situated along the River in Horncastle Road Boston, The Ropers is an old pub now converted into an Italian Bistro. The manager was very friendly, and welcoming., and offered us home made crisps which were so delicous. Sadly my meal didn’t live up to the high expectation l had. My tempura prawns were all batter and hardly any prawn..not very nice at all.My chicken in mushroom main coarse was quite tough as Infact was my wife’s steak. Sadly a rather disappointing visit.

Parked outside with a disabled badge and one of the workers came out and started having a go at me along with her partner who had just dropped her off. Not a very nice to think not only do these type of people work in Swadlincote but really puts off customers thinking of trying the restaurant in the future.

Went for family meal, it was lovely, staff friendly and food very good. Steak cooked as I asked for and pasta gorgeous. We need to support local restaurants and bars and this one is a keeper

WoW: Lovely venue, great service with outstanding food... ...We visited this 'gem' of a restaurant and was warmly welcomed, shown to our table in the themed restaurant ...Then the chef and staff looked after our every need. We had an amazing steak cooked personally for us, with the cuts explained, steaks cooked individually, and the entire evening much enjoyed ...Congratulations to Chef Noureddine Lakbichy, and the OneTEAM 👏 👏 👍 👌

We had a great welcome by very friendly staff. The menu was excellent and the food we ordered was amazing. We will definitely be returning. Thank you to all the staff and chef.
