The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

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.

The food and staff here are really lovely. I highly recommended this restaurant to everyone. :-) อาหารอร่อยมากเลยค่ะ

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.

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....

Great experience from start to finish. Service was great, lovely lady. Food was delicious. My husband said it was the best steak he has had out for a long long time. I had the veal, it was delicious. Clean tidy. Will definitely be back. Thank you very much.

Loved it, deffo reccommed here it’s so aesthetic and good drinks and food. Bar is gorgeous and so chilled and adil couldn’t help more if he tried

Food was authentic and absolutely delicious!

I walk past Maurizio's often but haven't eaten there for many years. On an impromptu night out we enjoyed an excellent dinner. The food was authentic and the veal delicious, with fresh vegetable and huge portions. Several people took home the remains of their food, especially pizza. It would be nice to have a bigger choice of house wine by the glass. The restaurant looks very pretty with a tree in the middle, but the unfinished woodwork would benefit from a coat of paint. When full or with a large group it was noisy as there are no soft furnishings to absorb the sound. It is very popular at the weekends so you need to book. A good local dinner.

Fantastic evening. Excellent food, fresh and delicious. Friendly service and welcoming ambiance. How lucky the people of St Neots are to have this restaurant. If you live locally and haven’t been go - you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely love this place. I have been lucky enough to go twice this month and each the time the staff and food were amazing. First time was with a group of around 15 and second time group of 8 and everyone really enjoyed their food and said they would go back. Family fun, fresh food.

Friday pm. Around 8ish. Called to order a couple of pizzas for collection. First call rang, and rang, and rang and eventually rang out. Tried again, call finally answered, I was asked to hold the line, could hear a separate conversation going on within the restaurant, waited for a further minute, no one had come back, put the phone down and ended up eating at home and saved £25. They must be inundated with custom that they can lose business…

It’s a nice little restaurant very cosy and serves good food nice place to go for dinner my family all enjoyed it

I ate here tonight with six of my friends for a birthday celebration. We had a lovely round table by the window. The evening was exceptional and I cannot recommend this lovely Italian highly enough. Firstly, the service: The restaurant was very busy with around ten tables occupied. There was one waitress and the manager doing the whole service yet we were treated like Royalty. Service was punctual, friendly and warm with nothing being too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious all round. We started with garlic bread to share, several platters which I know is quite a basic dish but it was the best I’ve ever tasted. Most of us had either veal or chicken plus one ravioli. We all agreed that the quality was superb and was thoroughly enjoyed. We will definitely be back again soon

This is not called il Caprese anymore - Michael’s Bistro as it is now called, was lovely for starters but the main courses were disappointing - it’s a shame’s especially the ramen which was without chili

El servicio fue excelente y la comida excelente. Gran pasta y pizza. Desiertos caseros y una gran variedad de bebidas. Estaba comiendo en familia y todos disfrutaron de la comida y el ambiente.
