The best restaurants serving Italian food in London

Appalling attitude and service from owner. Upon entry no greeting just a miserable old woman with a face like a pitbull chewing a wasp, pointed To the board and said the flavours are on there. When asked to taste a sample of the Vanilla for the kids (Which wasn’t on the board!) The old lady behind the counter with a disgusting attitude said “Vanilla is Vanilla!” Well if that’s the case why an earth would I pay nearly £4 for a fussy child to have a tiny scoop of your “Just Vanilla” if it tastes just like everywhere else! Walked out without buying, absolute ignorance and rudeness was bewildering from a shop clearly struggling as it is empty on most occasions i travel past.

An incredible evening. Daniele took care of us and we had the most fabulous evening. Superb food, amazing service and an evening to remember. If you aren’t here tomorrow, you’ve missed out. We’ll be competing with you for a table when you do visit.

Eating at Pizza Express is a must when visiting London. I've been here three times...and I hope to return!

Probably one of the best pizzas you will have in Hackney, made the Neapolitan way (although interestingly there is no Italian staff). The pizza list is accompanied by a wide selection of crafts beer, predominantly British. Or you can try one of their original cocktails, like the Balsamic Negroni. The restaurant also has a great location alongside the river and it’s got a nice yard, ideal in the warm summer evenings. The staff was friendly and helpful

siamo venuti in questo locale con aspettative alte, aspettative che sono state rispettate, posto molto tranquillo e chic, piatti curati nei minimi dettagli e di sapore unico, camerieri super professionali che hanno saputo bene come farci sentire a casa. un'esperienza che consiglio a chiunque venga a londra e vuole qualcosa di inusuale.

There is one man there name is wael He is cery nice with us ❤️thank u wael

Excellent, special and delicious pizza, worth the visit.

The pizza was nice and the staff friendly.

Absolutely loved this place. Staff so so friendly and can’t do enough for you! Service is so quick and food is delicious. I went here on my first night in London and actually loved it so much I went back again on my last night again!

I absolutely love dining at The Rising Sun and have quite a few times. I have always had amazing service (big reason I am a returning customer) and obviously the food is fantastic. I am from Canada and the one thing that drives me crazy about the UK is the slow service. That is not an issue at the Rising Sun, I feel right at home and it is a breath of fresh air. Recently, I have had the absolute pleasure of having Beth as a server (twice now) and I only want to be served by her moving forward. Every single staff member there is BEYOND lovely and would be delighted to be served by them, but Beth definitely stands out for me. I have worked in the hospitality industry for 12 years now and it’s people like Beth who make people’s dining experience 10/10. She goes the extra mile to make sure her guests are comfortable and have the best experience possible. Being served by Beth feels like being hosted by a friend not just another server. I hope everyone gets to experience the amazing service she offers. Very happy the Rising Sun hired her she is definitely an asset to their team :)

Really fabulous proper Italian pizzas. Thin, crispy, tasty! I’m not a huge pizza fan as they’ve got to be like Italian ones. These are the real deal

Nous avons eu l'audace d'aller dans cet endroit afin de prendre un "tea time" avec un cheesecake. Nous avons demandé les prix pour un thé sur place car cela différe du "take away". Le serveur nous a clairement éconduit de manière incorrecte en nous disant qu'il ne connaissait pas exactement les prix mais que de toutes façons, c'était plus cher. Ok. Ensuite, ma compagne lui a dit que nous allons prendre une part de gâteau à emporter, il est parti en plein milieu de la phrase et nous a ignoré. Nous sommes donc partis. Traiter les gens de cette façons esy inadmissible et ne reflète en rien l'accueil britannique je tiens à le préciser. Cet établissement est une véritable honte pour la ville, sincèrement.

This location is my go to pizza spot. They make the best afghan style pizza. Definitely worth. Clean and tasty. I personally have not gotten it delivered always collected it so it’s always been hot.

Zara who works there, she is a sweet heart! Very attentive, her service is amazing, and she is definitely a star for this place!

Fantastic service and extended trading hours.
