The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

Amazing fresh mignons - Francesco is so lovely and friendly and I would highly recommend this pasticceria- I will be ordering my wedding cake from here and cakes for special occasions worth the hours drive from Aylesbury 💯 thank you to Francesco and his figlia ❤️

Lunch with a friend today. Menu has changed and is amazing! Much more choice and presented so well. Chose tomatoes on sourdough bread with two poached eggs. It came with houmous and pesto dressing, basil and a salad. It was delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Pircio was an unforgettable experience! The chicken sheesh was the best I’ve ever had, and everything else, including the chocolate fudge cake, was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the personal happy birthday singing made the evening extra special. Highly recommend!

I’ve been to Per Tuti in St Albans on a number of occasions, it has always been a favourite of mine. The food is good. However on this occasion (New Year’s Eve) we left very disappointed with the service. Upon arrival, we were left awkwardly waiting for someone to speak to us whilst a number of staff walked past and ignored us. We had to flag someone down to be greeted/seated. Then, we were seated at a table with food menu only (missing cutlery for one person and no drinks menu). If you you didn’t flag down the staff then you didn’t get to order etc. When I managed to flag someone down (to get a knife to eat food, ask for drinks menu) it felt like you were a complete hassle to the waiters. They didn’t let me finish my sentence when asking for something. Having worked as a waitress and bartender for years I know what it is like during busy times. However, politeness and professionalism should always remain even during these busy times. The food was lovely as always but I don’t think we will be back soon.

We had a lovely meal here. I had the bruschetta (gluten free) and the penne. The bruschetta was so fresh and delicious!!

I would like to award brick pizza with the worst pizza in norwich award. Burnt. Tasteless and gave me a really bad stomach ache. If l was starving and the pizza was free, l would rather starve. Awful pizzss and awful price.

We visited on Saturday evening and pre booked. The restaurant is lovely inside, and the menu has lots of choices, and as a vegetarian, I was spoilt. The service was excellent and food was first class. We would definitely recommend and return. The lady was very good when we went to leave a tip and she pointed out its a 12.5 % service charge.

Good value for money, especially the Aperito offer. They also have a deli corner now, after they close Mercato, which was locate inside the Grafton Shopping Mall. They sell nice Italian products, some as well from Greece and Spain. While for drinking and eating is great, the deli is a bit over priced.

Good food and good service but it is usually very noisy so conversation can be difficult.

Lovely food and very good prices, lovely desserts and coffee too. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for authentic Italian food!

Lovely food and very attentive and friendly staff. We were a large party and they put us all together in a nice spot in the restaurant. We were not crammed into a small area and had lots of room. We had a lovely meal and we all enjoyed our time at Per Tutti. Thanks guys and Merry Christmas to you all

Celebrated my mums 70th birthday with 18 of us in total the service was excellent made to feel very welcome on arrival, the food was amazing, very relaxed atmosphere, staff were amazing given the large number of us, service was not compromised at all, will definitely be back again.

I celebrated New Year’s Eve at Mangiare and it was outstanding. The atmosphere was vibrant, the service was seamless despite the busy night, and the food was exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, and the drinks menu offered a great selection. Naty was our waitress and she did a fantastic job! A great experience overall - although I am not local, if I came back to Newmarket, I’d definitely return here!

Went for the fourth time to this very special and friendly restaurant. The food is always delicious and it really feels like eating in Italy! Can't wait to go back.

We were out dining with friends on a busy Saturday night. Excellent service, food was great and good value, all freshly cooked. Plenty of food choices. Was a fun experience good interaction with very welcoming staff. Will be back again soon. Highly recommended.
