The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

The absolute creme de la creme of takeaways in St Albans. You cannot beat Plantopia for food quality and value for money (especially with a cheeky promo code). Honestly, top work guys. We will keep coming back again and again and again!! Up there with Mildred's as my favourite ever Vegan food - but without the hefty price tag,

Best wood-fired pizza in Colchester. The Italian manager Giorgio is extremely helpful, nice and accommodating. Generous portions. Italian "pizzaiolo". Fusion Mediterranean cuisine, fresh ingredients, wonderful white wine from Calabria, and delightful "limoncello"!

We called in for lunch today and immediately were impressed with the friendly and welcoming staff. The cortado I had was out of this world and the toasted sandwich was the best I’ve had in a long time. Another feature I liked was the deli with its well stocked cheese. I will be back!

Attended a Cookery Demonstration with lunch. It was amazing food. Highly recommend. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great fresh pasta with tasty pasta sauce to accompany. Very nice family lunch with all of our meals being very tasty with generous portions. Pasta done to perfection

I’ve been to Italy, and that was better. Balanced toppings on a thin bread with a charred crust. Unreal lad and for the price core blimey, one word for you BARGIN

Nice little spot, they’ve made good use of a small spot and people were in and out the whole time. Had coffee and cake while I caught up on e-mail Guys working there were really nice

This amazing gem of an Italian is run and owned by an italian and the quality of food and wine showed, good service great food . We found out that you can get great coffee and food during the day also as they owned Poliano that was over the road so we will be back again definitely .

Had two lunches while at Millbrook. Both fish & chips and chicken & bacon salad were rather good. Other dishes looked pretty good as well, although have not tried them.Efficient and friendly service. Enough seating and convenient parking. Both days were reasonably busy with quite a few regulars.Certainly a place to visit in the area.

What a gem! Having driven by this place a number of times, I finally had an opportunity to pop in this Saturday afternoon. A friendly, welcoming place full of happy dogs, happy people and tasty home cooked food.

Although name has changed, this bakery is perfect for some 'start your day' brekky! From pastries to fry ups this bakery has it all..and whilst your there you can buy lunch too from different pasta choices to rolls with numerous fillings to choose from!

One of the best traditional cafes in the area if not all of North Bedfordshire. Offering a fantastic range of meals & drinks served anytime of the day from the classic Full English Breakfast to a wide selection of sandwiches & filled rolls including tasty pasta dishes and a mouth watering range of cakes, buns, pastries and desserts. But what makes the Caffe Piccolo so special is the friendly and warm welcome you get as soon as you walk through the door. The perfect place to order a cappuccino & something to eat and just sit back & relax... un posto perfetto!

We just had Sunday lunch at the kings arms pub and it was fantastic good food and we will be back again next week. It pays to book as it gets very busy

Me and my partner came here for a romantic dinner, I've ordered pizza quattro stagioni, Amazing, my boyfriend has ordered linguine alla sarda😋 I'm very happy that they are open again, definitely we will be back!!!

If you like your coffee don’t come here, you’ll be disappointed. This place presents itself as a proper coffee place, with 5 options of roast and origin and such. But what’s the point when all the espresso is under-extracted and the Americano tastes like dishwater? Cappuccino is the same: the coffee flavour is completely lost in the milk. And what kind of coffee specialist only serves in paper cups, even for sit-in?
