The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

The food is good, with most of it being homemade and the staff is friendly. I like the atmosphere, and there's a cute area in the back to eat outside. Come here to not be disappointed.

The BEST meal of 2023 we’ve had. Honestly just such comforting and delicious food. Friendly service and just homey interior, we are making this such a regular spot!!!! The price is unreal, couldn’t believe it when we got the bill would have happily paid double and not batted an eyelid!! MUST VISIT!!

I absolutely love Greek food and sadly, this was nothing like Greek food. The ambience was quite awkward, the food was substandard and had undoubtedly been reheated in the microwave. I'm sorry to say it, but I'd never come back here and wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

We come regularly to this restaurant because of the pizzas but the service and rudeness of the two staff is unbelievable, to the point where we’re going to stop going. We always have to ask to order even though they are just chatting behind the bar and if you ask for anything extra there’s a tut and raised eyebrows. You’re made to feel like they’re doing you a favour by serving you. Such a shame for the owners, a lot of our friends feel the same and it’s only a matter of time until they will start seeing a decline in customers.

The most wonderful pizza and such an authentic experience in the heart of Stamford . Celebrated my birthday here and we had a lovely evening.

My wife and I, like to thank all the staff at Oggi Restaurant Syston for an excellent evening. We went to Oggi to celebrate our 20years anniversary 🙏 it was a great night food and service was excellent. Been an Italian myself i will recommend 100/0/0 ❤️❤️😘

Had a lovely lunch we both ordered scampi and chips very large portion lovely crispy coating on scampi chips cooked to perfection came with a nice little salad. Very pleasant staff. All priced very reasonably will certainly go again .

Nice ambiance, service very good, foooood we had paninis and sandwich the fillings were very skimpy and I believe they had increased their prices. Not value for money. We have been in before and enjoyed our food. This must have been an off day. Will try it some time in future.

£12 for a margarita and £12 for a meat feast ? Alarm bells should have rung then when most pizza's are the same price . I am unsure who has put good reviews on for this place but the pizzas are the worst we have ever had ! Definitely not fresh pizza ! Had to bank transfer £29 for 2x £12 pizza and 1x£4 fries, clearly their maths isn't too good either. I would rather eat dry bread than eat this frozen rubbish.. we waited about half an hour and was not told there would be a wait, husband had gone the fish and chip shop round the corner and eaten his before we had even got ours, whole experience was just awful.

Me and 15 of my family went in tonight I am very disappointed and shocked by the staffs rudeness was out of the world dirty looking us while eating making the young children feel intimidated and not wanting to eat there. One of my family members asked for some balsamic vinegar and got told there’s some there (there wasn’t so she asked for some ) and the women did a sarcastic little smile and went and got some I am very shocked by how rude the staff were when we first went in we looked at menu and there was no pizzas in the Italian restaurant very strange and not Italian at all and when he finally said he will make young kids pizzas we asked if he can make a garlic bread and he said he was unable to (what type of chef can’t make a garlic bread 😂it’s embarrassing for them ) so 4 of family members went to eat somewhere eles and the chef got angry and upset that people didn’t want to eat his food because he couldn’t make anything they wanted to eat and the pure rudeness of the staff was shocking and embarrassing

Well presented cafe/diner. Lovely staff, great food. Great location. Welcoming friendly service. Well worth a visit

Absolutely amazing experience. We had the private room, The Dramatic, for our daughter's graduation. The team made us feel so special and made our day perfect. Pizzas were just wonderful. Even the French people in the family were blown away and French people are hard to please. Andrea, you are the best. Thank you Keri for making Lily's day even more special. Lewis and Sophie, best service, thank you 😊

This was a great find! My husband and I loved it! Good food! Friendly owner that made sure we were taken care of. The Full English Breakfast was amazing! Well cooked and plenty of it. The environment was clean and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Fantastic value and service, I reccomend to anyone. You won’t find prices and value anywhere locally that will match.

I have had several meals sent via delivery service . The food is always hot and the lasagne is delicious as is the cheesy garlic bread. Highly recommend and will certainly be having food delivered time and time again.

Was so excited to try our new local Italian, however unfortunately a little disappointed. Lacking flavour- not much sauce on the pastas, pizza didn't seem wood-fired. All other reviews are fab- so really hoping we just had an off day!
