The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Dolce Cafe may not serve Italian fare, but it's a charming spot with a varied menu, and a variety of tempting cakes. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly. If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy a relaxed cafe setting, this place is worth a visit.

Brushetta isn't Italian, they do it on normal half slice of bread, the portion was micro, in Carbonara wasn't herbs, crispy bacon, my friend had to wait for new Carbonara, because first on was not eatable at all, never again, it was shame for me, because I have recommended this restaurant.

I have never written a bad review and we always love coming here but your front of staff member around 4o clock was extremely rude. Like Peter Cole’s, we went in for my birthday meal and asked for a table for two. We never book because it’s never a inconvenience to you guys, and we never mind waiting, but the girl with the blonde hair rolled her eyes and gave us a dirty look and started smacking her head with her hand in front of us as if we it was a massive inconvenience we asked for a table? She then told us it was card only but I didn’t hear and asked her if it was cash only and she started slowing her words like I was a five year old and basically patronised me because I miss heard her. After she walked us to our table we sat down and I said to my partner did you think she was rude and like Peter Cole’s said in the below review they heard me and said oh we thought it was just us she was rude to, so we weren’t the only ones. Everything else was amazing and all the other staff were lovely and attentive and the food was great. It’s a shame that you have someone who quite clearly can’t handle a customer facing job being the first person customers are greeted by. I understand it’s a busy time of the year and it’s understandable to be stressed but don’t take your stress out on the customers who have just walked in and make us feel like we are an inconvenience to you.

Tasty food and good vibes. My go to place whenever I visit Nottingham

You couldn't wish for better food and service, no matter how busy they are, the staff are outstanding. We go at least twice a month. When the kids come to stay it's the first place they want to eat out at. Keep up the good work.

Wow, this is a MUST place to visit. We went for dinner, and we had peasant and posh bruschetta to start and then the Zuppa di pesce. We have been to Italy many times and this wonderful restaurant is the real deal. Amazing xxxx Fantastic REAL Italian food, beautifully made and presented. Don’t go anywhere else… you are in for a real treat. 10/10 at the very least

Maravilloso - un verdadero restaurante italiano dirigido por italianos. Bueno para los veganos, ya que hay opciones veganas para todos los cursos. Esta fue nuestra primera vez cenando en Timo y sin duda volveremos de nuevo. Hay un ambiente italiano real y la señora que nos sirve fue paciente conmigo usando mi pequeña cantidad muy olvidada de italiano, que era divertido. Gran comida italiana con buena calidad y vino italiano de precio medio. Los veganos recuerdan - hay 2 o 3 opciones para cada curso para que podamos disfrutar del restaurante también. Benissimo!

Thank you to Ellen and her team for hosting my daughters 8th birthday. Fantastic, kid friendly experience. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Super helpful and friendly ! my gran has a gluten intolerance and she was looked after very well !

Pre-show meal on a Saturday night, they don't take bookings so it's first come first served pot luck. We got a table for 2 with no wait, larger parties were out of luck. Menu is short but interestingly different, we could have chosen any of the five mains on offer. Food delicious, portion sizes just right. Service prompt considering how busy they were. Food prices very reasonable for a city centre, drink prices higher. Why not a 5*? The seats are hard and we were right next to the door which kept getting left open resulting in a cold draft; needs a closer mechanism on it.

My absolute favorite Italian in the entire Dallas metroplex. The marinara can't be beat. Salads are always fresh. The roles are supreme.

Everything was great about this except for the food. And it was very expensive. I don't mind paying if it's worth it, but this definitely wasn't.

Never a bad pizza! Best in derby

Llamado sin reserva y a pesar de que había cuatro eventos importantes en Nottingham, Florin logró organizar una mesa para nosotros. Ellie era nuestra camarera - ella era amable, pero también profesional y fue muy atento durante toda nuestra estancia. La comida era deliciosa, el personal era absolutamente fantástico y en general nuestra experiencia fue de primera categoría. Definitivamente volveremos. Gracias a todos los interesados

Nicely decorated, a table was quickly found for us. Then we waited and waited to be served. I saw plates of food coming to other people and thought they looked small. When ours arrive, the sandwiche was tiny and served with chios that I hadn't asked for. They for said all the sandwiches were served with chip. When I completed about the size of the sandwiches, the waiter said that was the size of the ciabbata, he said that's what the got from the supplier.
