The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Best place in town for ice cream and coffee. I tried the waffle and it was fab. Quirky setting, comfy booths. I recommend it to my friends.

Staying in Buxton for a few days and wanted a nice restaurant to eat in. We hadn’t booked but this wasn’t an issue. Friendly, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere, good menu and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The meals were freshly cooked, lovely and hot and really tasty. Excellent value for money too, we would definitely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic!! 2nd time back here and it’s definitely my favourite carbonara I’ve ever tasted 😍 Staff are very friendly and polite. Can’t fault the food at all. Portion sizes are very generous! 10/10.

I can see why the reviews are so mixed, we ordered a takeaway of 2 pizzas and olives with breads and one pizza was ok the other not so great, overall you could probably get a better pizza in Asda, the olives and breads were good but would expect much better with the pizza.

We had a lovely pasta dish each and a garlic bread. Was tasty and really good potion sizes for the cost. Would recommend. 10/10

I’ve just been for an enjoyable meal at Bel Pease. The food was of good quality and nicely served. The waiter completed the evening with his charm and humour.

I went with a group of friends, for a pre Christmas meal. The serving staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful they were amazing. The food came at just the right pace which isn't always achieved with such a big group of people all to serve at once. The food was amazing, every one of us had food envy of what the others had ordered but were very happy with what we ate ourselves. I will definitely be going back again.

Had the offer on the Lasagne today with my wife (Thursday 31st October at lunchtime.) Food presented very nice my only little complaint Lasagne could have been a little hotter in temperature and tastier with a little bit more garlic ( personal choice) nice surroundings and the place was spotless. Would I return most definitely 👍

Dropped in for a few drinks during charter day. Drinks kept flowing and pizza and loaded fries to die for! Special mention to Gracie-Mae for her lovely friendly service

it was the best food i have ever eaten loved it ill definitely come again. the drinks were perfect aswell and the place is clean keep it going

We visited SCOOZI PIZZERIA on Wednesday night for a light bite before the Fleetwood Mac by Candlelight Concert at Southwell Minster. What a find!!! The restaurant, the staff, the lovely atmosphere, the service and the food were all absolutely gold standard exceptional. A freshly cooked Pizza using a rainbow of fresh vegetables, spiced and seasoned exactly to our liking, served piping hot. It was obvious that SCOOZI is very, very popular in the area, as the takeaway custom was constant. My husband maintains that his Pizza was the best he had ever enjoyed. We will definitely be going back, making the trip just to visit SCOOZI. Thankyou to you all *****

Reservado para comer aquí el sábado por la noche antes de ver el espectáculo en el theahre Royal. Aparte de mi amigo y yo sólo había otros dos mesas de 4, lo que me pareció extraño para un restaurante del centro de la ciudad en la noche del sábado. El lugar estaba limpia, sin embargo las mesas para dos parecía bastante estrecho (había un descansillo al platillo con cafetera, en el centro (sí descansillo de pot). La botella de vino más barato (un Pinot a £18,95 estaba fuera de stock, así que tuvimos que pagar £22 por otra). La comida era nada más que hacer en casa así que era muy disapponting. Mi pollo en salsa de queso tenía un ver-por salsa y las verduras estaba fría. Las patatas fritas eran también muy salada. Mis amigos pasta era sólo un poco dificulte pasta en una salsa de crema, pero otra vez estaba muy por debajo de la media. Además, el camarero no podía comprender que queríamos una botella de agua también y cuidado al intentar dar agua del grifo. Yo realmente no perdería mi tiempo y dinero para comer aquí.

This is a friendly café with a real family feeling. The food is freshly prepared and well presented. Would recommend the Casa Cafe for breakfast or lunch. Whether you want a full English or something lighter or are looking for a cob for lunch or something more substantial... I highly recommend Louie's Special Omelette!

After travelling 25 minutes to get my daughter a waffle, I dropped her outside with plenty of time before closing time, I parked across the road near the food cabin so could see her, two in front both served, she waited in the queue for 9 minutes just to be turned away at 4 minutes past 7! Rude and the last time I’ll be spending money there. Since the new owners have taken over it’s not the same, how hard would it have been to use some emotional intelligence and shut the door and serve the people in the queue from before your shutting time.

This was our first visit to panda mami and it was exactly the way my friend described! A friend had highly recommended this place and even booked a table for us, and we’re so glad they did. The variety of options at the buffet was great as always, with something for every taste. However, what truly stood out this time was the impeccable service. The staff was attentive and welcoming, and a special mention goes to the gentleman in the tie and waistcoat—his professionalism and warmth left us pleasantly surprised and added a special touch to our evening. We’ll definitely be returning again soon
