The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Had a lunch in Prezzo today, everything was so good, from the food, to the staff, to the service. Highly recommend. The Pinsa is really worth a try.

We don't visit Loughborough ; a real taste often but, when lunching, it is hard to find a better venue in the town. Service is friendly and timely whilst the change of menu allowing for us to have "2 pizzas in one" is a delight. Spicey on one side and veggies on the other coupled with a generous mixed salad were nicely cooked on the Romana base which we prefer to a thick dough. With a good covering of ingredients these pizzas were filling, hot and tasty. Congrats to the chef and to Ellie our waitress.

Very nice restaurant, great staff and lovely pizza.

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.

Just TERRIBLE! The only good thing to say was the waiters were polite and friendly but the food selection was awful and the quality was shocking. Over cooked mush with chow mein and chop suey, tiny overcooked chicken bits in sickly sauce and rice like bullets. For the price (we spent over £60) it was shocking. AVOID at all costs!!

Decided to visit bella Italia for a family meal for 6 at sixfield in northampton . On arriving the staff were friendly and we ordered our drinks which arrived fairly quickly . When ordering most mains are around £15 plus . When mine arrived I was very disappointed with the portion size which arrived in a medium dessert size bowl. I ordered the pollo fungi which consisted of around 25 plus pieces of penne pasta and approx 3 x pieces of chicken around the size of a 10p piece with a scattering of several greasy looking mushroom pieces mixed in which were unappealing so left them . This was mixed with a small amount of mushroom sauce . In all not worth the money and in my opinion very overpriced . I have been a customer at this restaurant before and the portions were considerably larger covered in lots of creamy sauce. I know times are difficult and not what things used to be but in future I will go somewhere else and give this place a miss . Overall : small portions , food looked unappealing and definatly not worth paying over £ 15 for. The other members of my family who also attended commented on the size of the portions and said they are definatly not worth the money . Mr adams

I visited as a family of 6. For a place like Frankie and Benny's you don't expect to get fine dining quality food, which I feel some people expect. I was expecting decent food that costs what I pay for it and that's what I got.I ordered the Garlic mushrooms on bruschetta for starter and a penne arrabiata for main with a side of Garlic Pizza bread. The starter was very good, very tasty and good level of seasoning. The main was quite simple, spicy enough, could maybe have done with more seasoning. The garlic pizza bread side was a little undercooked and doughy but nonetheless it was enjoyed by my party. I got Tiramisu for dessert which was plentiful and rich. Though our waitress was incredibly polite and attentive, one thing I did find odd was that my 21 year-old brother did get Id'd by the waitress for a beer, despite there being his 2 older parents next to him. I believe it isn't illegal for a person of 16 or older to have a drink with a meal as long as they are accompanied by someone 18 or older so when this happened I was a little confused.We used the 33% off voucher code which nicely took £20 off of our bill. When you truly took into perspective what youre paying for in terms of food quality and service it adds up, I will definitely visit again with my family.

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!

I enjoyed a lovely lunch with my friend. Marc looked after us very well, he was very knowledgeable about the menu, and went out of his way to make sure our dietary requirements were met, he is a credit to the restaurant.

Lovely Sunday lunch, great service as always from Paris, Jade, Ellie Mae, Rhia & plus one which I apologise didn't get her name. Credit to the chefs & kitchen team, starters & lunch well presented. Lovely friendly atmosphere, home frome home, well done all

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.

The only down fall was the starter. I ordered the crispy mozzarella. Very disappointed. Only. 4 small pieces no sald Garnish to make it look more appealing, pot of salasa type sauce. £7 for that dish.My daughter gets 2 on the bambino menu as a starter. Why charge so much. I won't be ordering that again.

Visited with friends and was really looking forward to a real lasagne, as had enjoyed on many previous visits. Waited an age for it to be cooked, the presentation was not good, not even served with any salad garnish and the meat was non existent. They gave us some free olives as an apology for the wait (only a couple of other diners as we went early doors) but won’t ever order lasagne there again!

Returned to have dinner after eating here a few years ago on vacation. Same great food and pleasant atmosphere. Even had our same waitress. Quick, safe walk from the Marriott Courtyard. The North end is always fun and vibrant. If we ever make it back to Boston, we would absolutely return.

Still one of my favourite restaurants, but the best Italian overall. Cosy, intimate, great service, delicious food, reasonable prices, what more do you want? Thank you Guys.
