The best restaurants serving Italian food in East Midlands

Been to matlock numerous times nice to see this place open had a lotus crunch waffle which was delicious with a hot chocolate 🍫

We visited as a family with two children this evening for the first times Food was fabulous, such authentic Italian food, children’s portions were huge Staff were so friendly and attentive, nothing was too much for them Will be back soon

Amazing experience. Made it worth the trip from UK. Sneha hosted us and she’s the most lively person. Loved every moment. Good food and amazing service.

Lovely atmosphere and staff Great drinks!

Items missing from order and packaging open when delivered. Ordered a meal deal for that exact reason!

Great experience. Lovely food. Antonio was very friendly and attentive.

We had dinner at Gusto in Nottingham on our wedding anniversary and it turned out to be a huge disappointment. I had a pepperoni pizza and to be fair, this was pretty good. However the scallop ravioli which my wife had was very poor. Apart from the sauce, which was nice, the filling of the ravioli was unpleasant and sloppy. This dish is a favourite of my wife and she has eaten it in many Italian restaurants, both in Italy and the UK, and usually really enjoys it. Sadly not at this establishment. There are many good restaurants in Nottingham and (apart from the pizza) I would look to these for a good dinner.

My family and I had a fantastic meal at Bella Italia Sherwood recently - in particular, KES was a brilliant host. She was friendly and professional at all times. Thank you also to Isaac!

Very good service and delivery driver was lovely

It was amazing 🤩 and we had a wonderful time, the food was great and so was the atmosphere there was also a play area.

Booked a meal for 7:15 pm tonight. Got there. Shut. No contact from them but their Facebook page says that it is closed for a refurbishment. Didn't look like that. No sign of a refurbishment at all. Gone bust hopefully. Always been a problem at Nonnas. W☆☆☆kers.

Today was disappointing went with friends for birthday food was dry n very bland .was not as nice as it was in the times before. Staff was rude by leaning over friend to collect plates This should not happen did not even speak Think twice before coming again

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.

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!
