The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Charged full price on pizzas that were all in the 50% deal. Only realised once checking out

Food was nice. service was terrible. 2 members of staff on when they have a promotion on £5 pasta. And one staff was lazy. Took 25 mins to get our drinks. I do love the food here just the service has really let its self down recently. There used to be a male manager who was so good!! Really worked his socks off and got people working. Recently it’s like they have not got a clue what’s going on half the time. My friend even said she had a nut allergy and if the pesto has nuts in and the waitress said erm I don’t think so. You don’t think so do you want to check that?! Crazy.

I was there with my boyfriend last Sunday. Everything was fine and we have had a good meal. I strongly recommend that place .The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food are excellent

Good vegetarian wellington on the weekday menu. Quiet front room on a weekday lunch. Lovely historical feel to it.

Food was missing from my order. I rang to see if they could send it out but the lady I spoke to wasn’t bothered about helping me. She told me to request a refund. She also didn’t seem surprised that a mistake had been made. My chocolate cake dessert portion was awful, dry & tasteless. What a waste of time & money…

Ate here for dinner one week night and loved it. Returned for lunch on a Sunday recently and was really disappointed. It was so quiet in the restaurant there was no atmosphere, it was completely dead at prime time on sunday lunch. That should have been a

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!

We have just had possibly the best pizza's ever. Freshest ingredients, amazingly tasty with the homemade garlic mayonnaise which was outstanding. Would definitely recommend. 😍

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

Atmosphere and food was amazing! We would’ve given the restaurant a better score but here is the issue: We received a wedding gift card of 50£ for the restaurant. Once finished, we were told that there’s no balance on the card. The waiter was nice enough to look into it. Told us that he sees the date it has been added to the card that matches the writing but nothing else on the use of the card. We asked if it was a glitch or if theres any use of the card but he couldn't see anyone else using it. Luckily we had our bank card around and all of it was embarrassing. He advised us to follow up with the restaurant through email but we never received any response since then. So please, go for the restaurant but Do Not get a gift card for anyone. I had to re-edit and give it a 2 star instead after receiving a comment here from them apologizing and to email the issue. Which I did but no answer for months. Do not get a gift card here.

We visited on a busy Saturday evening. The restaurant was full and there was a good atmosphere. We had breaded brie for starters followed by pizzas. All the food was very good indeed and the portions were pretty big Service was very good and prices really reasonable

La comida encantadora tenía que decir servido por Trudi era su primera semana! Ella era fantástico y dio un excelente servicio muy hablador y servicial! La comida era preciosa muy rápido y muy sabroso!

Excellent pizza and garlic bread Served by efficient, friendly waitresses who nothing was too much trouble Highly recommend

Excellent we always get amazing service we had a very good time Alex served us like a true gentleman we will definitely be back

Edit: They changed it back!!! GOAT. The mac and cheese was recently changed and is a significant downgrade from their previous recipe. The food has otherwise always been great, the restaurant is a St. Louis institution, and my review is not reflective of their other food. However their mac and cheese has been a mainstay and their change of recipe is disappointing. I’d encourage them to consider bringing back the old recipe.
