The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

The evening was okay. Service was good although felt a bit unfriendly, perhaps they were busy. Our starters and desserts were nice. We had Melanzane Alla Parmigiana and Funghi Fritti to start and for desserts we had the Pear Cheesecake and a Chocolate Fondant with ice cream. We had x 2 prawn pasta mains that were very bland - one of which was Tagliolini al nero di seppia con gamberi (black pasta with prawns and a cherry tomato sauce) and the other which was the Tagliatelle con gameri spinaci (prawn and spinach pasta) and believe me it was just that - no seasoning, nothing. Two very ronseal mains with nothing extra - I was expecting more. We were quite disappointed after hearing such great reviews so not sure I'd visit again and if I did I wouldn't have a pasta dish.

We have used this company for birthdays over the pandemic and they have been absolutely brilliant. Staff are so lovely and helpful and great prices! Really made a special birthday treat. Highly recommended!

I found the service very friendly and kind. It reminded me of the little shop I knew acs a child called "Harry's" in Whitechapel.

This place was disappointing to say the least! I went to collect a bag of mixed end of day pastries to receive four dry hot cross buns. The description given was “ a variety of different end of day unsold foods”. A false description and therefore a dishonest place.

Pide chef! Él no puede hacer más por ti y la comida está caliente cuando recoja. "Tío" es el principal hombre y mantiene el espectáculo en la carretera

I have had many great meals hear and now we have a trip advisor Pte you will hear much more about them.

In the Beds & Herts area there are only a few Italian deli's selling real Italian meats, cheeses, bread and staple foods. I found this gem in the heart of Luton and it's well worth a 15 mile trek into this town, if only for this shop. The lady that runs the business is wonderful, friendly and very helpful. In fact everyone in the shop at my time of visit were very nice. There's no much parking around, but I managed to get a space on the road a few yards from the shop. Beware, once you enter the shop you will want to buy everything. I can recommend the sausages, bread and cheeses. If like me your not used to making your own sauce there is a good selection of proper Italian brands. There is a café next door but it was closed at my time of visit.

Really enjoyed popping in here for a few light meals on our cycles. We went for the fish and chips today and the portions were frankly enormous. We half struggled to cycle home. The fresh tarter sauce was great. I had white bait on a previous occasion and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back for that. Excellent beer too. They clearly are fastidious with their pumps and serving. All in all, not so cheep but the quality is worth it. Great service too. Recommended.

So glad the café is back open, it closed for a number of months last year. It is great to stop by for tea & snacks/food after a long walk with the dogs in the morning. Both Sid (GSD) & Archie (Chihuahua) love getting their sausage treat and are welcomed. Good value for money, staff are extremely friendly and provide a great personal service. Thank you

Pizza was great, and so was the service.

Chill, relaxing, not loud, good italian

Rosmary on cold chips. Who knew that was a thing? Plus no green on one order with slimy pasta. Yuck

Fantastic village pub with a great garden and added bonus of an outside bar that also does the best cocktails at a great price. Happy hour 3 till 7 Mon to Fri is a bonus when you finish work and fancy a beer. Great atmosphere and the staff are very happy and helpful. Leon's food is delicious 😋
