The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

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!

Didn’t eat here but wide range of drinks available and lovely atmosphere.

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

It was jam-packed on St. Patrick's Day but anytime I have been there it is always so noisy. You can barely have a conversation with the people you're dining with!! Especially if you wear hearing aids. I would not recommend going to this restaurant due to the noise level, it's just terrible!!

Tuvimos una comida fantástica en Gino's, la comida era deliciosa y el personal era muy amable y servicial para nuestro gran grupo. No habíamos comido aquí antes, pero esperamos hacerlo de nuevo - muy recomendable.

Olivia was a fantastic waiter! Great food, spices adapted to our taste. Prompt service. Polite, respectful. Too much pepper on Carbonara, but feedback to chefs. Hopefully just a one off mistake.

Lovely pub, great location after a long walk. Had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch with friends. Food delicious and generous portions, really enjoyed the fresh veggies. Would highly recommend.

Sent wrong food then expected me to come fetch correct when I’ve paid for delivery so mine had to go in bin and also when I phoned to speak to them bout my £11 sandwich she hung up on me

Aimee was very helpful, polite and provided great service!

The food was delicious, but I am reviewing due to the poor service. The Pizza I ordered was misplaced to 2 other tables before actually reaching us. I had ignored it but then the same happened to the dough balls, kept on another table for quite sometime before realising its not theirs and then later handing over to us. I wish the staff was careful with the table numbers however busy it gets. Otherwise I feel the atmosphere and food is great.

From outside this looks like a cosy traditional Italian trattoria, however a very different story once inside, old ,tired and scruffy. The toilets are a disgrace. Wonder what the kitchen is like? Only came here because a friend wanted an Italian meal for her birthday, however I should have followed my instinct and suggested we go elsewhere. Food absolutely horrendous, pizza frozen, prawn tagliatelle had 4 prawns in a watery tasteless sauce, have had better lasagne from Iceland. The man who I presume is the owner could do with learning some hospitality skills, and not hover around looking moody an unwelcoming. This is the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune to dine in. To be avoided at all costs. Would highly recommend Dino''s on Warser Gate, only about 200 metres away .

My autistic son who struggles wirh confidence issues ended up in tears because he couldn't clip on..he was extremely upset. A male employee came over and he was sympathetic and I asked please could he help my son clip himself ob the wall. He said yea of course. Stood for ten seconds with my son and then walked off for ten minutes! By this time my son was in tears again and we had to leave as had told several staff members he just wanted help being clipped on. I couldn't help him as its safe for me. When I complained the man who had walked off just spoke to me Like crap and tried to blame everything else except himself. Poor. I'm never coming back and I'll be telling other parents not to also.

Busy pub so a few tables are a little bit over looked if you are having a meal and close by to drinkers. Such a decent boozer and our favourite in Burbage but this review is directly relating to Jones Bistro. Has Sunday lunch there. Food was excellent Beef was actually as good as I’d want it. Perfectly cooked. Plenty on the plate. Staff lovely as ever. Took a star off as side dishes were a little below expectations. Extra Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and cauliflower cheese didn’t really have much cheese sauce in. Definitely definitely will return though ! Thanks David and staff.

Mariusz served us he was polite and friendly, he even put the birthday song on whilst bringing out our boys desert for his birthday food was amazing service was amazing
