The best restaurants serving Italian food in Lincoln East Midlands

Try this place-it is fantastic. We visited on a Saturday nigh. The welcome is warm and friendly. We had the meat platter, with the chef’s homemade sausage-which was fantastic. Everything was tasty, well made and served hot. Please try the Portikalopita with ice cream dessert - it is Christmas on a plate.

Quality of pizzas and starters were very good! Freshly made and delicious! Would recommend!

Have eaten here previous and the food was very good. We went on 27/12/24 and it seems to depend who Serves you to how you are looked after. No water for the table and no bread on this occasion? I ordered a Pina colada and I realise it’s a restaurant and not a bar but if you can’t make the drinks correctly then don’t have them on the menu. I received a glass full of ice and I mean full so now only 1/3 of a drink I’m paying for, then it was just coconut milk with a slight hint of rum. Why no pineapple juice? Very disappointing. Food was very nice again but wish it was a little hotter for eating and service from the waitress could be improved as if they enjoyed their work.

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.

It was our first time here, the food was fantastic and brilliant service. A little hidden gem, we’ll be back for sure 😀 thank you.

Wow, Food, atmosphere, wine absolutely sensational

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!

No good as in chicken wrap should be salad,but was only onions, onions, onions nothing else.

The food was delicious. I had the Bolognese and it was amazing.

The Tuscan sausage pasta dish was very good, spicy without being overpowering and a very good portion. I'd highly recommend this dish. Restaurant was spacious, dinner was very good and restrooms were clean.

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!

Really friendly staff and gorgeous food! Perfect Friday night ☺️

We visited for a birthday on NYE. Food was delicious. We ordered Pollo Masala and the chicken/rib combo. Not sure why people have complained about portion size, they were fantastic. Food was piping hot and came quickly! We also had desserts, the crumble was tasty - little hints of cinnamon too. The profiteroles were also really good. We love coming here for special occasions. Staff were friendly and service was great! We’ll definitely be back!

I nipped in for a spot of food b4 the cinema! It was warm and cosy inside and didn’t feel self conscious eating on my own! Anya was super helpful and really made me feel confortable! Excellent service and I would recommend and return!
