The best restaurants serving Italian food in Hertsmere East of England

Lovely staff and atmosphere. The menu was great and there is seating inside and out. Nice to help the animals in this way. Would recommend for a coffee or lunch

We had a lovely Time in this beautiful Restaurant and we had some lovely meals thanks for all the staff that works hard ! A special mention to Paolo & livia ❤️❤️. All the love and the respect for her welcoming

Elton John Tribute show in Monty's bar. What a fantastic night. Great show in a well appointed lounge bar, but best of all was the wonderful bar and table service from a cheerful and professional staff team. Well done.

Absolutely incredible staff! Attentive and friendly. Lady with the septum was lovely and always present!! Food was absolutely stunning and full of flavours - highly recommend their "Pollo Bella Rosa". Thank you so much for the enjoyable visit with my wife.

Really tasty food. Polite service, didn't feel rushed but were attentive enough. I had pasta which was cooked al dente, and my sisters pizza was a great size with plenty of toppings. Our bruschetta was fresh and tasty. Good sized portions and felt fresh. A nice relaxing Sunday lunch.

Food was authentic and absolutely delicious!

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

Not enough staff and food appalling. My sister and I ordered Tuscan soup to start (which I had ordered before and liked) but it was totally inedible as it tasted sour as if it was off and we had to send it back, so just had bread that came with it. My main was spaghetti bolognaise which has very little sauce and had to ask for more. The dessert I had was chocolate cake with mascapone cream. The cake itself was heavy and there was only a teaspoon of mascapone cream served with it so again had to ask for more. So the starter, main and dessert were all disappointing. They also didn't have any mash which was meant to come with my sister's main.

This is a small, unassuming Italian restaurant that one might be forgiven for thinking probably offers standard high Street Italian fare. But it doesn't - the food is exceptionally good and easily rivals some of the best Italian food you'll find in central London. The pasta, high quality and al dente, was delicious and the sauces fantastic. The garlic bread was thin, light and crispy, the garlic and rosemary flavour a subtle delight. The desserts were brilliant as well. The service was a little bit basic and the ambience and decor likewise. But it doesn't matter and can be forgiven - the food is that good and amazing to find in this location. A classic and really extensive menu (especially for the size of restaurant) with simple, familiar dishes but all of it was executed brilliantly. A great find, a great chef and I highly recommend a visit.

Tiramisu to die for! Pasta mains are on the small side- a few of us left hungry…. But the food was tasty.

Lovely authentic Italian food! The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious! A wide variety of food was on the menu, with many great vegetarian options as well!

I have visited this restaurant a few times and the food and service is usually good. Unfortunately on this occasion I had to complain to the restaurant because there was a large boisterous group of people at the next table who started swearing profusely as they drank more alcohol. Moreover, their children were watching music videos very loudly. This totally spoilt our meal and we could not wait to leave. I complained when I was there but nothing was done. I left as soon as possible. I contacted Camilla to complain a day later and she told me that she would investigate and come back to me. That was three weeks ago, not a word from the restaurant. I emailed to complain but not response there either. I am a very disappointed customer! Obviously they do not appreciate loyal customers. I do not usually write reviews or complain but the fact that Camilla ignored my complaint is not good.

Got to keep the local businesses going especially if the food is this good.

Nice restaurant. Excellent Lasagna.
