The best restaurants serving Italian food in Northampton East Midlands

This deli is incredible. Not only does it stock the most amazing ingredients from pasta, cheeses, meats and sauces, you can get the most amazing panini's and homemade desserts. The staff are all incredible and extremely friendly.

A beautiful spot with a fantastic selection of food and sweet treats. Plus, the most delicious Italian coffee you'll ever have. Highly recommend. Love this place. Thank you!

Genuinely the BEST Italian food I’ve had outside of Italy. That aside, the atmosphere is perfect and Orlando could not do more to make you feel more welcome. The pinot is the nicest I’ve ever had and has obviously been hand picked. I couldn’t recommend this place more - I promise you won’t regret it!

Sophia is an excellent restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes sure you have a great dining experience. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every dish is made with care, and the quality is outstanding. The portions are just right, and everything tastes authentic and delicious. Whether you’re visiting for a casual meal or a special occasion, Sophia never disappoints. The combination of great service and amazing food makes it a perfect place to enjoy Italian cuisine. Highly recommended!

One of the best pizza’s I’ve ever had! 👏

No doubt the best pizza in Northampton. Very friendly delivery.

Thank you to Ellen and her team for hosting my daughters 8th birthday. Fantastic, kid friendly experience. Good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

We came here as a party of 9 for birthday. I’m glad I had a jumper on, this restaurant is cold! Food was nice, waitresses were lovely, but was too cold for me.

An anniversary meal and chose what WAS a great restaurant The text sent the dat before stating that had to reply with name number and time of booking made over a week ago as it would not be confirmed till this detail was given. Welcome was not what had previously experienced there and not given a great table. Had to ask one of the four waitresses if we could order a drink 10 minutes after being sat down - wouldn’t have minded but there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starter without ‘peppers’ I had to explain to the waitress what peppers were as in “bell peppers, the green, red, yellow, orange ones- bit worrying really was not asked if we had any allergies which was surprising as this is a repeated question you’re asked nowadays. After and hour of arriving for our reservation, ordering and finishing our starter the main came. My wife ordered smoked salmon and pasta, what arrived was cooked salmon in the pasta not smoked a totally different taste and flavour. I asked to check the menu and smoked was stated, we explained this to who appeared to be the head waitress, who could not comprehend the difference in cooked or smoked, no apology or explanation was given and we were only asked to reselect, lasagna was asked for. I had ordered and had a lovely veal Milanese, with salad, which I finished, my wife asked that hers now be cancelled as would not want to eat on her own as I was finished, minutes later a lasagne arrived this was duly returned and the bill asked for. Very unprofessional No apology Poor service A total and unfortunate change and a restaurant I will not voluntarily go to again Times are a changing and this is a shamefully wrong direction

I am the fussiest person on the the planet but I have to say this was the best sea food meal that I have ever had!!!!!! It was amazing. I wasn't sure I wanted to go but it was my sons birthday and he said that was where it was going to be, reluctantly I agreed? It was amazing. "The service was great and the food was spectactular!!! Please try it. I was prejudiced before because of my bad experience in the previous chilli village and I didnt know that it had changed. It has.

Fantastic place to dine out with Your other half.

Absolutely shocking service. Waitress put through starter wrong, then supervisor made out like it was my fault because the menu had changed and I hadn’t specified the size of the garlic bread we wanted- umm maybe the waitress should have asked. Mains came out, one carbonara was very chewy chicken, spat out most of the 6 mouthfuls eaten. On asking supervisor to take it off the bill, she stated it could be replaced without the chicken or would take half off the meal as she had already eaten it. On speaking to another supervisor she stated no manager on site, although I knew the manager was I know who the manager is. She was stood at the food deck speaking to her. On the supervisors return to me after speaking to the said manager she told me she could take my details and the manager would investigate it when in, all whilst I was watching her. I asked how exactly they would investigate the meal when it had already been taken away and put in a bin, TOMORROW!! Bill comes out and both garlic breads on the bill and two lots of cheese charged. Small discount taken off not totalling the full garlic breads. I again asked for them to sort the bill for the messed up garlic breads as wrong. They still refused to take off the carbonara as 6 mouthfuls had been eaten! On speaking to the first supervisor, I told her the service was rubbish, you shouldn’t pay for something when it’s horrid and she rolled her eyes at me. I also told her I knew the manager was there and I don’t like being lied too! The second supervisor had told me both of them were supervisors but then dated she couldn’t go against what the other one had said as she was higher than her position. Also a lie! both of them were tripping over each others lies. I will never ever go back to Frankie & Bennys which is a shame as we love it there and got here often! One supervisor very rude lady with red/black hair. Other supervisor very small lady- don’t lie to someone’s face when they can see wit their own eyes and know exactly that your lying to them! absolutely crap service and a complete waste of £61.00.

So for a start the milkshake came in some funny looking foam cup that tasted cheap!! Overly priced and not good quality. My kebab I ordered also was very cold and I did ask for no tomatoes but the insisted I have them.

Just naff, poor all round, definitely won’t bother again and wouldn’t recommend to others
