The best restaurants serving Italian food in Hertsmere East of England

This café was across from previous my work place and I used to go there quite frequently. The food is decent, fresh and very cheap and when it comes to pasta, it definitely beats several of high end Italian restaurants in London. Prefect bite, nice sauces, great flavour and super homey.

I knew the meal was going to be rubbish when we managed to park right outside the restaurant.We arrived at 8 pm and the large restaurant was only a third full ,not great for a Saturday night .The veg soup to start with was taseless with no seasoning as was most of the food offering . To follow was the veal in a mushroom sauce , I have had this dish all over the world and I have never had the veal cut up in to small little pieces.Again no seasoning and tough, I left most of it , and on top of all this you have to order the vegetables separately, the sauteed potatos (cut up roast potatoes) could have been flavoured with some onion or rosemary to give them some flavour and the zucchini fritta was the worst I have ever seen or tasted, great thick slices with the fried covering falling off. No way is the chef Italian, my Nonna must be turning in her grave what is passed off today as genuine Italian cuisine. The local area is pretty and genteel and it deserves an authentic Italian restaurant, this is not it

Greeted with a smile and seated and served promptly. Excellent Service from Reza, had a fabulous meal with family (7 of us). Catered for all our different requirements, and food was lovely. Couldn’t ask for a better waiter.

Stopped in for a take-away. Lovely peaceful setting and really great service from the lovely, professional customercentric Molly. Thanks! 🎊💐
