The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

Cannot give any stars as at 20:15 (a couple of minutes before actually), could not go in as closing. Please update your website and make sure it says closing. I find it very frustrating that businesses close as not a lot of people frequenting at that time. As a shift worker this happens all the time! 😡

We had a fairly extensive delivery. It was late and the driver did not expect to be paid in cash as we had been instructed to do. Contrary to a promise (on the 'phone) it included no complementary desserts. Worst, and potentially dangerous, a chicken dish contained uncooked chicken. The piece was raw, red, and could not be cut through with a dining knife. We e-mailed Nonno, with a photograph of the uncooked chicken , as a courtesy to them, and expected a most urgent response to a serious complaint about a dish that could have resulted in severe food poisoning. We received no response.

Staff behaviour not good always delays order

Food was okay, bit bland but still a nice sandwich however I had a diet coke which tasted a little bit funny put it down to potentially ice, look on the bottle after I've already drunk it and it was 5 months out of date! Currently downing pints of water to flush it out of me. Won't trust returning here again

We recently held a team night out here, a mix of adults and kids. It was a great evening, with friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. I had garlic bread to start and seafood linguine, both were really tasty. All of our group enjoyed their food.

We stopped here for lunch and what a find. Lovely friendly staff and amazing food. Everything was lovely and fresh and the house wine was good too. Will definitely go back when we are in the area.

This restaurant was simply fabulous from start to finish. From the moment you arrive your greeter with a warm friendly reception and all staff are so super helpful. The food and drinks were excellent- hot and promptly served with a very authentic Italian feel to the whole environment. The chicken Milanese was superb! I highly recommend this restaurant at Stansted for its warmth and authenticity and of course for the wonderful service and fantastic food… I’ll be back !

we ordered from here on deliveroo as we’re staying nearby in a caravan park. it said 30 minute wait time- we 2 hours and no food came. called multiple times and they just said it will be a couple minutes. ended up going via deliveroo live chat and getting a refund as the driver couldn’t find us, the pizzeria didn’t call us or let us know that the driver couldn’t be bothered to properly look for our caravan and left with our food. so disappointing and absolutely crap customer service. they told us they don’t deliver to our area although they have our area available on deliveroo ??

Service with a smile, clean food, great quality all around.

We had a lovely time at pizza express and our servers Colin and James was very funny and very polite. The food came super quick and was DELISH!

My wife and I wanted lunch and were quite hungry, we were found a table [we hadn't booked] the restaurant being reasonably full. The service was very slow with different staff taking our drinks order to the food order. We were asked after waiting a fair while for our pudding if anyone had taken our order by a different staff member to the one actually had taken the order. When I asked for the bill the waiter brought it then disappeared doing other things and i had to call another to actually pay, despite now, one and a half hours after we arrived the restaurant was nearly empty. The food was of a good quality if the dishes were on the small side. Staff were pleasant but totally disorganised with no consistency of service.

Fantastic building very clean and really nice atmosphere with brilliant staff and a great menu. Food was fantastic and plenty of it.

Although the food is a bit of a rip off for the portions, you can’t fault the staff for trying their best with service and being polite and welcoming

I love the Salt & Good because you get to pick any type of food from another country like Italy, etc. It was a very cool experience and I would definitely recommend this place.

Really delicious food, which tasted really fresh. Our waitress Natalie was so so lovely. Really happy, full of smiles and couldn’t do enough for us (including making our desserts!!) she made our afternoon so much better. Thank you Natalie. My little boy thought you were great and he loved the chocolate ice cream!!
