The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

Super fresh delicious calamari and pizza, and best hot chocolate we’ve ever had!

Went there for Christmas social at my workplace. We all had fun and a nice meal.

Excellente adresse, une vraie cuisine italienne. Très bon accueil. C'est un restaurant que je recommande vivement. Service impeccable.

I had Christmas menu, my little celebration for 1 Super service and food. Staff were very attentive. Thank you

We really love this restaurant. It feels authentic and offers a few hours of Italian escapism and wonderful food. There is a great range of fresh fish as daily specials so makes a great restaurant choice for fish lovers. I always have the fillet steak with one of the sauces and it’s always a great size and remains great value for money… it is rare you can find a fillet steak for under £35 these days, but they are all under £30 here. Beautiful hot bread upon ordering, lovely family service and good Italian wines that are also reasonably priced. We think it’s excellent value for money and a great Italian treat!

The food was delicious, well presented and in sensible but not meager portions. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Overall everything you could want for an enjoyable meal out. Also the prices were very reasonable.

We had a great Sunday lunch here. Friendly service and good food at a reasonable price. My wife contacted the restaurant in advance as she has some allergies and they made special dishes for her. This made us feel very welcome and cared for.

Evening Meal in this local Italian based restaurant. The food was absolutely fabulous. The calamari perfectly cooked and all the food beautifully presented and delicious.

Tried to visit Francesco & Amorosa for another superb Italian meal, but found the restaurant closed. Oh no. We have been eating at Francisco's for a few years now and always have fantastic food served with passion and friendship. The end of an era. Wishing you both a long and happy retirement. Affectionately yours; Claudio (Ranieri), Sylvia & Da Grandson. All the very best....

I’ve been to the “cottage bar and bistro” twice in the last couple of weeks and have enjoyed the food on both occasions. I had the mussels to start followed by spaghetti with seafood. Both were nicely cooked with fresh seafood and very delicious. Previously I had calamari and sea-bass which were also lovely. The portion size was perfect for me. The service was efficient and the chef was able to offer an alternate for our friend who had specific dietary requirements. I will return as there are other dishes on the menu which I’d like to try.

We love this place and visit often, but this weekend it was our wedding anniversary, the lovely ladies even brought us an anniversary card, it made us feel very special this was so sweet. The staff are always very welcoming, kind and professional, whenever we visit, and the food is always amazing and so fresh, Woburn Thai is definitely one of the best Thai restaurants we have ever been to.

I organised a corporate dinner for 40 colleagues and it was fabulous! Nico and his team we so helpful in the lead-up to the event so I was fairly confident that any last minute adjustments could be accommodated and they were! We were given an area for our exclusive use and it was decorated beautifully. The food was great and was complimented on by many of our team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Riccardo's Bloody Mary - one of the best I've had! Thank you Nico, Stella, Riccardo and team. I will certainly be recommending your restaurant to others.

We had a brilliant experience with the best waitress Jessica, amazing food, service and atmosphere. Couldn’t of asked for more

Lovely authentic Italian food! The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious! A wide variety of food was on the menu, with many great vegetarian options as well!

Took my partners parents out for lunch for their anniversary to this pub. Very friendly staff with a fantastic menu. Cannot begin to describe just how good the food was!, meat was cooked to perfection. Was a shame that I was so full I couldn’t enjoy a dessert! Really hoping the pub is doing an xmas lunch as we’ll defiantly be booking if they do
