The best restaurants serving Italian food in Lincoln East Midlands

Dined, at this amazing little gem of a restaurant many times.. Food always superb. Staff attentive & polite. Highly recommend the Moussaka! One of the best I have ever eaten! The Cesar Salad is delightful! Fresh ^ super tasty.. Look forward to my next dining experience here🙂

Food was great, only one toilet though which meant quite often people were stood outside waiting to use it

Here recently, disappointed with portion size, Atmosphere lacking , too expensive for what you recieve

This is a review for the original Bar Unico in Lincoln as opposed to the monstrosity that has replaced it in the form of Crazy Appetite. Bar Unico was the best place in Lincoln for coffee and breakfast. Its replacement is dire. The main reason for posting this review is as a warning to potential customers for Crazy Appetite. This is not the same place and isn’t worth your custom.

Absolutely fantastic gluten free pizza

A few friends and I enjoyed a beautiful meal here. Quality was excellent and service good.

The most stunning freshly made cannoli I’ve ever eaten! Service was absolutely impeccable. I popped in after seeing cannoli mentioned in the window, there weren’t any in the display case so I was about to leave disappointed when the server asked what I would like, I said cannoli but there weren’t any, to be told how many would I like? They make them fresh throughout the day and we’re making another batch right then and could make some exactly how I’d like them! I ordered two and while k waited the gentleman gave me a little bit of another dessert they had which was divine (yes I did take some home). I had just eaten lunch so I was kicking myself as they had an amazing array of arancini, pizza slabs and cured meats available for savoury tastes. They even had a vegan arancini which I was very impressed by! While I was there several Italian construction workers visited for their takeaway lunch, so it is obviously popular with the local community and I can see why. I can’t wait to go back and have a proper lunch there!

Very happy with food, chips were nice with the spice, chicken burger perfect 👍🏼

Fantastic friendly service, authentic tasting Italian food all at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Chose Zizzi for a Saturday evening out. We were impressed by the food -the lasagne did not disappoint as a classic Italian dish and my husband enjoyed the sea bass. Thanks to Will, for the excellent service.

A great place with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was amazing, the team were very accommodating to the allergies in the group and very well informed. Really happy and would totally recommend!

The menu offers a wide range of options, and the service was both friendly and efficient, with food arriving quickly. We started with the Nduja sausage dough balls and bruschetta, both of which were huge. The dough balls were fresh and delicious, but they could easily have been half the size and still been plenty. For mains, we tried the crayfish and prawn pasta and the spicy Arrabbiata pasta, which were decent but not exceptional. With two soft drinks each and a 10% tip, the total came to £70. Would have given 5 stars but the place is a bit dirty with tables not properly wiped down and visible food on the floors. Glass entrance doors and windows are in a real need of a good clean.

Quick, tasty, decently priced and served with a smile! I don’t ask for much - but Frankie & Bennys, Lincoln tick every box and pass with flying colours. Ok - the food isn’t sensational, but for what it is, it does superbly. Free refills on coffee and tea which you barely have to ask for as our waiter took care of us enough to ask when our cups looked empty. Perhaps the overly generous score is to combat the harsh reviews below - this is not a bad place to eat! And I come here enough to know that. I have the three egg omelette with different fillings each time to try them out!

Never been despite visiting Lincoln on several occasions. The place buzzes and is an instant delight. Lovely freshly prepared food. Great staff too.

I have taken time to reflect before writing this review. There are several things but the thing that offends me most is that my friend had a random piece of pepperoni in her otherwise lovely fish meal. We made the server aware and he stuck his finger and thumb into the plate of food to remove it - “l’ll get rid of that for you “! I fully accept that had he taken the meal away to the kitchen he would probably done the same but it did not fill be with confidence in the Food Safety training that staff are given - obvious cross contamination issues and hand hygiene issues. Our table was booked for 6.30 and it was 8pm before we were served any food. If we wanted a drink we had to go and find someone to order from. Online orders were definitely prioritised, lots of those being dispatched as soon as the drivers arrived. The food ( apart from the vegan lasagne) was really nice but we were served in dribs and drabs with some of our party being left without food for as long as it took for some to eat theirs. We were offered free drinks as compensation what we actually got was 2teas, 3 coffees and a hot chocolate- the cold drinks were not included. The tea was served with fake cut glass tumblers to drink it out of - an accident waiting to happen pouring hot liquid into glass! The reason given was that they only had one cup. I could have understood that if the place had been full of people drinking tea, but it wasn’t. The sad thing is that having written over 1K words I have yet to mention the food! I could go on and on with bad service comments but I will stop and mention the food because hopefully they will address the service issues ASAP I had crispy belly pork, exactly as described with beautifully cooked vegetables. All of the salad/garnishes on all of the meals were lovely and fresh. The people either side of me had fish and chicken, also lovely with the same vegetables as mine. Pizzas looked yummy too. Would I go again? Maybe a different restaurant in the same chain.
