The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

Very disappointing service at Eric’s Pizza, Thornham - waited over 50 mins for the pizzas to arrive). Not only that the tables were dirty and the restaurant could have done with a good clean! I had the poorest excuse of a cocktail (not sure what you would call it) that I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Sad looking and a dirty glass. It should have been a Campari Garibaldi ….. I don’t think so! It’s a shame as we had a lovely meal at Eric’s in Holt only a few weeks ago and decided to try Thornham. The waiter also needs to know the difference between apple juice and cider!! We should have left then as it only went downhill from there. Certainly won’t be going back!

Delicious food and friendly staff. Pleasant restaurant with nice decor. Would definitely visit again if in town vsiting the area.

Increíble pesto de masa madre Parma jamón y mozzarella panini encantador café italiano. Gran servicio muy amable. Sin duda mi café favorito en Cambridge

Lovely service and food and drink!

One of the best lattes I have ever had!!!! The service wasn’t amazing but I find that with most of the places along the front of Hunstanton. The coffee niceness completely overruled the negative though!

Our dinners were excellent - Sea Bass and Carbenara. The waiter was able to change penne to tagliatelle just helpful and willing. Thank you. Kids margherita and veggie sticks wnt down well so assume were good. The place clearly welcomes the little ones and they were taken well care of whilst we had ours

Staff were lovely, prices were reasonable, venue was good and the food was great! Would highly recommend!

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 popped into this dusty cafe to buy a sandwich, as I was at the railway arms opposite, the men who I assume work here as they were sat there all afternoon, did not even look up from what they were doing to ask if I needed help, on the counter were two poor looking croissants on a cake stand and absolutely nothing else! The fridge was full of cold drinks! Anyway I left as staff are rude or maybe it was because I was a woman and thought it was beneath them to ask if there was anything I wanted. The place is filthy how it scraped 3 stars on hygiene is beyond me, I wouldn't have given it -3 stars! Do not expect to get food here! Probably a front for something else!

This place was disappointing to say the least! I went to collect a bag of mixed end of day pastries to receive four dry hot cross buns. The description given was “ a variety of different end of day unsold foods”. A false description and therefore a dishonest place.

Pide chef! Él no puede hacer más por ti y la comida está caliente cuando recoja. "Tío" es el principal hombre y mantiene el espectáculo en la carretera

I have had many great meals hear and now we have a trip advisor Pte you will hear much more about them.

So glad the café is back open, it closed for a number of months last year. It is great to stop by for tea & snacks/food after a long walk with the dogs in the morning. Both Sid (GSD) & Archie (Chihuahua) love getting their sausage treat and are welcomed. Good value for money, staff are extremely friendly and provide a great personal service. Thank you

In the Beds & Herts area there are only a few Italian deli's selling real Italian meats, cheeses, bread and staple foods. I found this gem in the heart of Luton and it's well worth a 15 mile trek into this town, if only for this shop. The lady that runs the business is wonderful, friendly and very helpful. In fact everyone in the shop at my time of visit were very nice. There's no much parking around, but I managed to get a space on the road a few yards from the shop. Beware, once you enter the shop you will want to buy everything. I can recommend the sausages, bread and cheeses. If like me your not used to making your own sauce there is a good selection of proper Italian brands. There is a café next door but it was closed at my time of visit.

Really enjoyed popping in here for a few light meals on our cycles. We went for the fish and chips today and the portions were frankly enormous. We half struggled to cycle home. The fresh tarter sauce was great. I had white bait on a previous occasion and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back for that. Excellent beer too. They clearly are fastidious with their pumps and serving. All in all, not so cheep but the quality is worth it. Great service too. Recommended.
