The best restaurants serving Italian food in Hertsmere East of England

Very nice pizzas, service decent but could be better, a little slow as taking a drinks order (we waited around 15-20 mins before we were asked) but overall a good experience and would recommend

We had roast beef Sunday lunch with pudding and cocktails, all first class food and service faultless experience will be back.

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

My family really loved the meal experience at Bella Rosa. Jade and her team gave us outstanding customer service. The food was divine, and we certainly will be back

I am not happy with my profeterol is been green i didnt eat

Had been there many times and today we went again. As always staff is fantastic, welcoming and food is one of the best! My ribeye is always cooked to perfection and the mussels , the tastiest. Thank you so much Alexandru Stefan and Andreea for making our evening a pleasant one! Will return soon.

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!

A very enjoyable evening the food was delicious with great choice service is perfect a very relaxing restaurant and great wine !

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.

Went for the first time today with a friend for lunch. Not impressed at all. My starter of deep fried brie was supposed to come with a berry coulis except it was aa tomato sauce and garnished with wilting rocket that I would throw out of my fridge. The brie had more coating than brie and I left most of it. The waitress on retrieving the plates did not even bother to ask me why I had left it The main course was tagliatelle with roasted aubergine, yellow peppers and courgettes in a tomato sauce which tasted like the one with the brie. The aubergines were tough and thr courgettes undercooked. The peppers were fine. Again I left half of it and when the waitress came to take away plates, she mumbled "everything alright" and I said no by which time she was gone without listening to my reply. Suffice to say I won't be returning.

Italian food is my favourite type of food and I’ve eaten it in over 30 countries. This place genuinely is one of my top 3 restaurants worldwide and makes STELLAR. meals. My family and I come here every time we are in England (we’re Canadian) and the food is 10/10 every single time without fail. The service is also excellent and Carla is a wonderful person and server :)

We have been coming to Dante restaurant for over 15 years and the service and food are amazing. We started coming before we had children and we have continued to bring our children regularly to this restaurant over the years and they have loved it every time. The staff are friendly and always go out of their way to make the kids happy. Vickie

Excellent value for money and so tasty too

Visited last week. Restaurant was full but it appeared the team could not accommodate all the covers. Food was delicious however slow service and long wait didn’t help the experience. A heated argument between another customer and the manager also took place which you don’t expect from a family restaurant.
