The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

I can’t recommend this place enough. I have an unusual allergy I contacted them prior to collection and they were extremely accommodating and very understanding and fantastic with cross-contamination protocols. The best I’ve ever had. Will definitely return. They have a great range. Food is prepared and cooked fresh and extremely fairly priced. 5 stars aren’t enough

This is a unique experience in dining with an authentic Italian feel and homemade pasta. Intimate meal in this small but perfectly formed restaurant. Cannot fault it in any way as a couple who appreciate that something different and special quality that make a meal an evening to remember.

We go here every time we visit the area! The food (Bacon rolls / breakfasts) and coffees (Latte / Americano) are great and the ladies working there are very friendly. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant, we didn't go for a while after it opened but so pleased we have now tried it. Wonderful service and food fron this Italian, the chef is from Sicily and has worked at some top London restaurants and you can tell by the quality of the food. Servie is also top quality. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

Returned to my hometown yesterday for a nostalgic stroll along the North Beach prom. Stumbled across this little gem of a café. I can't fault anything about it. The staff were friendly and the service was quick and efficient. The coffee (and I'm picky about my java) was perfect and the food delicious. Almost didn't write a review because I want to be able to get a seat the next time we visit!

Honestly the best Pizza I’ve had in the area and I’d go so far to say since I visited Naples. Beautiful taste, and freshness with Caprese side. Found my go to Pizza now

Amazing restaurant, gorgeous food and great service. Staff are amazing, always helpful and great with kids. So lucky to have a lovely restaurant like this on our door step.

I don't normally write reviews but Hardy Yard Pizzas deserve this. Not for the first time I have experienced pizzas of the best quality. Cam and his team consistently produce mouth watering, thin crust, delicious tasting pizzas. The latest experience was at the Leander Club, Henley, and if you are a member go taste. Very Yummy!!!

Always welcoming - you can sit inside if it’s a bit chilly and the Panetones they sell make the best Christmas gifts! Highly recommend

We decided to go here for our wedding anniversary dinner and weren't disappointed. The waitress managed all the tables calmly and efficiently. We both had chicken dishes which were yummy. The atmosphere was 'buzzy' with local diners which was great. We both had delicious desserts too. A lovely evening. . .

Absolute gem of a restaurant. It's quite small (I counted seating for 26) so I would recommend booking. The owner and staff have created a warm, very friendly atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The menu caters extremely well for the majority of diets and everything is freshly cooked. The owner is very helpful and is happy for you to pre-order your choice of meals in advance. This means you don't run the risk of something not being available , which is always a possibility when it's fresh ingredients and cooked to order. We had pizza, tiger prawns and jerk pork burger, all of which were fabulous and the tiramisu dessert is amazing. The level of service was perfect, not rushed, attentive, extremely polite and friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening, Desmond's has just become our first choice restaurant in Lowestoft.

A beautiful meal obviously cooked from scratch. This is a restaurant you go to for the evening the service whilst charming is not quick - accept it the food is well worth the wait.

Such lovely food, lovely staff and great pricing! We had cheesy garlic bread for starters (DELICIOUS) and then a 5 fromaggi pizza & Truffella, and my goodness they were so good. This place I would recommend 10000%, and the staff were so lovely and really made it. I went for my 30th birthday meal with my best friend, and we was so full after dinner we couldn’t squeeze in dessert but they gave us a cannoli on the house and they were delicious! Will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely fabulous food and a great selection of wine. We were made very welcome as was Monty the spaniel who behaved himself impeccably. I need the recipe for the Rosemary, garlic and Madiera jus. Masterful!

We used Weirdough Pizza to cater my husbands 40th birthday party at a local golf club. I cannot recommend them enough. Claire is lovely, very helpful and is quick to respond to communication. The pizza was AMAZING, numerous party guests said it was the best pizza they’d ever eaten. I over ordered and still the whole lot was eaten. They cooked through the wind and freezing temperatures of storm Arwen proving for sure that they can cater anywhere and at anytime! Rustic and authentic pizza at it’s absolute best!
