The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Perfect restaurant to bring the family on a sunny day. Lots of green space for the kids to run around on.

I had an incredible experience at this Bella Itália ! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Alexa, the manager, made the evening even better with her exceptional service—she was friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. Highly recommend

Great atmosphere, consistently burnt pastries for a few months now (black on the top of half the pastry), biggest issue is paying for extra coffee I don’t order. I notice sometimes it is more expensive that I imagined and when I ask they’ve accidentally charged me for extra drinks. Few times now.

Just had a lovely meal with my friend tonight. The two servers we had were great and had a sense of humour ( unfortunately we didn’t get there names ☹️), really attentive, food came out at perfect timings! The GAMBERONI AGLIO-OLIO was fantastic with the basket of bread. Will definitely be back! Thank you guys x

You can’t beat this place. A proper Italian ambiance from the style and the decor as you come in. The menu is a feast, such a wide offering in contemporary Italian food surely covering the taste requirements of anyone. The problem is what to choose because everything sounds so good. We had a variety of starter dishes all of which were beautifully presented and served promptly. The main course we had included super house pasta, a lovely baked tender chicken dish, and the mouth watering Fegato (liver). Desert is a real treat and is still presented on the traditional desert trolley- that I remember at this restaurant for the last 30 years but you can’t deny how it whets the appetite when you see all the proper home made deserts on show. The wine list is extensive and well varied Finally the staff- well they are well trained clearly and extremely professional in how they serve and deliver the food with linen napkins to boot. However, September the clearly well drilled quick and smart service they are approachable and engaging with customers laughing and joking appropriately making a wonderful atmosphere. There is nothing you could possibly want they don’t have at this restaurant and is equally wonderful for a couple or For bigger groups. As my 90 year old father (who’s been coming for 30 years’ said after this visit- they haven’t let any of their high standards drop. Brilliant thank you and well done

We booked a table for early Saturday evening. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived. The service was very poor throughout the evening. They had plenty of waiting staff - at least 5 that I saw. But they were very disorganised, and we were overlooked for most of the evening. We were initially asked if we wanted drinks, but after this we were never asked again for the rest of the meal, and no one at any point asked if we were happy with any of the food. Our drinks and starters were served relatively quickly. I had the calamari but the coating was very crunchy and not very nice. We both had pizza for our mains - I think they must have gone to Italy to get the ingredients. It took aeons to arrive, and only after we managed to flag down a waitress to ask what on earth was going on. She said it was on its way and that she had spoken to the kitchen, but it was very apparent that they had simply forgotten our order, given that people on a table next to us who had arrived long after we did, got their pizza within 10 minutes. By the time we started our pizza, most of the other guests who had been there around the same time as us were on their desserts. There was no apology for the delay. I left over half of my pizza as the base was really chewy, and I was struggling to cut it, as was my partner. It seemed the more it cooled, the harder it was to cut through it. I am not exaggerating when I say that my wrists were aching in the end, which is why I gave up on eating it. I don't expect to get repetitive strain injury when coming out for a meal. We didn't bother with dessert after this. I also noted that an Italian sounding gentleman (I don't know if he is the owner) went from table to table throughout the course of the evening, chatting to guests, and making sure that everyone was happy with their food. Not once did he come over to us, or even look in our direction. They also had the cheek to add a 10% service charge to the meal which was not optional. I will not be returning after experiencing their shambolic and poor service, and the chewy pizza.

This is a confusing place now. Since the revamp the name has sort of changed but the old name still applies we are all confused. Is it Casparri's or Pianilo's at the moment its both. ??. The web confirms this as they both appear as separate businesses but at the same address. ?. The interior has changed and is of a high standard, a very comfortable atmosphere. Service is great. food is good. However this is now a pizza and pasta Italian restaurant which is now competing with budget restaurants at luxury prices. Unfortunately the Italian mains have now gone, no steak, no pork, no lamb, no fish, no specials board. Unfortunately I feel they will only appeal to a limited customer base with this new concept. I don't hold much hope for their future unless thing change. Sorry loved this place but very disappointed now.

Our go-to place in the town centre. We have come here over the past few years quite a few times, with its convenient location for Heathrow coach, railway station and for a number of local buses too; nice staff, clean interior, cozy ambience with Mozart, jazz; excellent staff, food and coffee. Always a pleasure to relax here.

My family and I ordered some pizzas and sides and they had put meat on all of our vegetarian pizzas, they refused to change or refund the food and were very rude and unprofessional about it!!. Just to top it off the pot of sauce that came with a side was visibly used.

Went here whilst we were waiting for an appointment. The menu looked very nice but when we received our breakfast they forgot to put eggs on one of them, the sausages were so cheap tasting and cold we couldn't eat them, another customer went to the counter to say an item had also been missed from his plate. It really tasted like it was made with the cheapest possible ingredients and the plates were half empty. It did not look appetising. It took a long time from ordering to arrive and was cold, so could have been sitting around for a while. Would not return unfortunately.

Brilliant pizzas & service. We had a pizza each, including a spicy pizza off the specials board that was recommended by the waitress. They even fulfilled my request for one of the pizza’s to be extra crisp! The pizzas were the best I have ever had. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

Great pizza served quickly and hot..very helpful and friendly staff..Been 3 times now and always perfect..would like a few more mushrooms maybe..😉

We went to Tony Piccante’s for a family meal, we received excellent food and a friendly, welcoming attentive service. Pizzas were made fresh.

Very traditional Italian restaurant sadly surrounded by two larger more modern venues. However the charm of a quaint little place with a simple but extensive menu of pizza and pasta did not go unnoticed. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating as was the chef. Will be ordering from here again soon!

Había reservado una mesa para ayer, incluso llamó por teléfono la semana anterior para cambiar el número de invitados. Llegó a las 7. 30 pm anoche para encontrar el lugar totalmente cerrado su reubicación y reapertura el miércoles. 4 clientes decepcionados para un cumpleaños de amigos. Luchó para encontrar otro lugar agradable en poco tiempo un sábado por la noche. Muy pobre no nos contactaron para que nos dijeran que estaba cerrando y podría haber tenido la oportunidad de reservar en otro lugar
