The best restaurants serving Italian food in Hertsmere East of England

I have been many times with always amazing food, excellent service and ambience. Already looking forward to a return visit!

We came in last week, as a family of 3. We were served within 3 minutes of being sat down, and our waitress Scarlet took very good care of us, even recognising myself and my daughter from the last time we came!! She was very thorough with the specials they had on at the time, and had plenty of patience with us when deciding. Amazing atmosphere, loved to watch the teams play football while we ate our food. We even got dessert this time, the sticky toffee was absolutely delightful. Cannot recommend the Sunday roast enough!! I went for chicken last time, this time tried the beef. Did not disappoint!! We will be coming back to say the least, and excellent service as usual from Scarlet. Look forward to coming back again!

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

Great service! Thank you so much to Mihai for be so helpful and kind!

Love this place and it never disappoints! There are now 4 Italians in Bushey and this is buy far the best!

Food was authentic and absolutely delicious!

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.

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.

Superb food, beautifully cooked and presented. Lovely menu, with daily specials. Friendly and professional staff. Would definitely recommend and we will he going back

This restaurant is by far the absolute best Italian restaurant I have been too. The food everytime was outstanding. The manager and staff are so friendly and welcoming. Totally recommended eating here

Great service, tasty food, the menu is varied and prices very reasonable. We are so lucky to have this wonderful Italian in Potter Bar!

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

Great to be back for my favourite carpacii
