The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

I can’t recommend this place enough. I have an unusual allergy I contacted them prior to collection and they were extremely accommodating and very understanding and fantastic with cross-contamination protocols. The best I’ve ever had. Will definitely return. They have a great range. Food is prepared and cooked fresh and extremely fairly priced. 5 stars aren’t enough

Amazing restaurant, gorgeous food and great service. Staff are amazing, always helpful and great with kids. So lucky to have a lovely restaurant like this on our door step.

We go here every time we visit the area! The food (Bacon rolls / breakfasts) and coffees (Latte / Americano) are great and the ladies working there are very friendly. Highly recommended!

This is a unique experience in dining with an authentic Italian feel and homemade pasta. Intimate meal in this small but perfectly formed restaurant. Cannot fault it in any way as a couple who appreciate that something different and special quality that make a meal an evening to remember.

Great restaurant, we didn't go for a while after it opened but so pleased we have now tried it. Wonderful service and food fron this Italian, the chef is from Sicily and has worked at some top London restaurants and you can tell by the quality of the food. Servie is also top quality. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

Delicious Pizza! Just like in Italy! Good quality ingredients and the dough is just right: a bit crunchy, as I like it. I tried the Pizza Camuna with Porcini mushrooms and Speck. Very good combination of flavours. The pizza is made from a professional, very skilled and experienced Pizza baker. A rare find in this area!

It is such a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a cup of tea and the staff are really helpful and exude their own happiness to be working in such a lovely place.

I don't normally write reviews but Hardy Yard Pizzas deserve this. Not for the first time I have experienced pizzas of the best quality. Cam and his team consistently produce mouth watering, thin crust, delicious tasting pizzas. The latest experience was at the Leander Club, Henley, and if you are a member go taste. Very Yummy!!!

La mejor pizza del mundo muy 😉 muy buen servicio y muy recomendable para todos muchas gracias 😃😃

My daughter wanted pizza and Da Vinci Restaurant is the place for a nice one. The pizza was a very good size and the price level is very decent. My wife just had a starter which was delicious .Drinks were good value for money- the gin&tonic I won’t comment on. Service was very friendly and fast. The Restaurant is not really the place to stay for a long time - it could do with a bit more ambience- but it certainly delivers in terms of food!

Always welcoming - you can sit inside if it’s a bit chilly and the Panetones they sell make the best Christmas gifts! Highly recommend

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra comida en la noche Beaujolais Nouveau. La comida era excelente - el mejor filete que he tomado en mucho tiempo. ¡Delicioso, jugoso, sabroso, medio raro! El servicio era muy amable y el vino era bueno también. Es un servicio más lento que algunos lugares, pero la comida vale la pena la espera y es agradable poder ponerse al día con los amigos durante una cena tranquila.

Absolute gem of a restaurant. It's quite small (I counted seating for 26) so I would recommend booking. The owner and staff have created a warm, very friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The menu caters extremely well for the majority of diets and everything is freshly cooked. The owner is very helpful and is happy for you to pre-order your choice of meals in advance. This means you don't run the risk of something not being available , which is always a possibility when it's fresh ingredients and cooked to order. We had pizza, tiger prawns and jerk pork burger, all of which were fabulous and the tiramisu dessert is amazing. The level of service was perfect, not rushed, attentive, extremely polite and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening, Desmond's has just become our first choice restaurant in Lowestoft.

Absolutely fabulous food and a great selection of wine. We were made very welcome as was Monty the spaniel who behaved himself impeccably. I need the recipe for the Rosemary, garlic and Madiera jus. Masterful!

We used Weirdough Pizza to cater my husbands 40th birthday party at a local golf club. I cannot recommend them enough. Claire is lovely, very helpful and is quick to respond to communication. The pizza was AMAZING, numerous party guests said it was the best pizza they’d ever eaten. I over ordered and still the whole lot was eaten. They cooked through the wind and freezing temperatures of storm Arwen proving for sure that they can cater anywhere and at anytime! Rustic and authentic pizza at it’s absolute best!
