The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Beautiful food, brilliant location and fantastic staff. Our Nan holds a special place in her heart for the chef who always comes out to say hello to her. The two waitresses are always accommodating and delivery top notch customer service. The food has always been nothing short of amazing! Children love it here too. Will always be our favourite Italian in the area. Must visit in hungerford!

The problem with this place is the manager. My friend has Parkinsons disease which makes speech very difficult. She was told by the manager to get out because she was drunk. She only drinks Coke. She was in tears and I gave the manager a piece of my mind. The manager insulted my other friend saying he is too fat, and banned him saying he didn't want him here. He patronises customers, saying that you have to sit here, insulting them by pointing at tables. His pizzas are small thin and inconsequential at an enourmous price, over £20. The manager is stark raving mad, charging up and down the tiny seating area talking to himself and making hand signs. This guy is a bully to his young staff who are amazing in their manners and attentiveness. Many customers complain, but are ignored because that guy is arrogant. there are many pizza places in the area where you will get friendlier and more respectful service.

We love eating at Giancarlos and had our Christmas get together here last night with friends. Fantastic evening and food, as always, was superb. Highly recommend.

Attended a Cookery Demonstration with lunch. It was amazing food. Highly recommend. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I want to start the review by saying (as many others have) "Look past the location" and enjoy the superb food. It was our fist visit, my partner had said on a couple of occasions "i have heard the food is very good" so she made a booking (the only available time 4.45 on a Saturday, that speaks volumes!) The menus are displayed on blackboards by the entrance, this was pointed out by the very welcoming front of house lady (sorry i did not get your name) we had a lovely table overlooking the marina. Our drinks orders were taken and before long (a couple of minutes at most) they arrived by the lovely "LIV" we looked at the menu and for me there were loads of options ( i was like a kid in a sweetshop) to the point i needed help to choose, i / we opted for the Brill with Dauphinoise potatoes, the vegan wellington and cheesy chips (for the awkward ones) the kitchen is clearly visible from the dining area and very interesting to watch master chefs at work all under total control. All of our food was outstanding, the Brill the best i have had, cooked to perfection, the Wellington very tasty, even madams cheesy chips were devoured. Everyone at The Quayside are friendly and welcoming - the food - to die for.... cant wait for another visit.

Je ne connaissais pas et c'est une très bonne expérience. Nous avons très bien éte accueilli par un serveur. Nous avons bien mangé. Il y a différentes préparation de riz trop bonne, des nems, briques etc. Vraiment allez-y vous ne regretterez pas.

Dropped in with my pooch and had a super pizza and cup of tea. Both super hot great service and really really tasty. I will be visiting far more often

Quality of the food was 1st class with excellent quality meats in the calzone & on the pizza. Very generous topping and the staff were warm & welcoming. We visited in a Friday night having booked…it’s pretty small/tight & service was pretty slow however wasn’t in a rush…but as noted the food was great!

We were treated to a lovely mothers day lunch here so booked it for an evening with 4 of our friends. Having told them how great the food was we were expecting a good night. 2 of us had the carbonara which when it arrived was like the meat had been previously cooked and then over reheated and was too hard to eat. I put it all to the side and ate half the past when the waitress arrived I complained and was told that was how it was meant to be! I obviously told her it wasn't and she said shed mention it to the kitchen. Another friend complained that her crab pasta had next to no crab in it and was almost all pasta. For the next 40 to 45 mins nobody came near us even to offer us a drink or the desert menu needless to say we left. I really don't like leaving negative reviews and I wouldn't have if we'd been treated differently. Always better to complain when the management can at least discuss with the customer than to go away feeling like no-one was interested in our opinion.

Todo aquí se veía increíble y volveré por una pinsa y un poco de queso. Tomé una copa de vino preciosa hoy mientras veía el mundo pasar. Personal muy amable y bien informado

Pure Pasta is in Saint Nicholas Market and is run by a lovely, friendly, Italian couple. The food is tasty and excellent value, whether you take away or eat inside the small unit/the couple of tables just outside. The pair of us left feeling pleasantly full and with change from £20 despite having a couple of 'starters', main meals and a can of diet coke each.

Really exceptional vegan food. Very tasty and inventive. You can take your non vegan friends too Amazing tiramisu!! Had to stop myself from licking the plate! The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that I felt the tables are a little too close together so a bit uncomfortable when sitting so close to others, especially if on a date, but it is a small venue to I guess that can’t be helped.

On of the best pub Sunday lunches in Sussex, topped with excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble , will definitely be back

Reservamos para el brunch y pedimos un plato principal cada uno y un café. La comida era buena, pero sentimos que nos hubiera gustado más en el plato por el dinero que pagamos. Pedí el rosti de salmón ahumado que era muy sabroso, pero habría sido bueno si venía con un huevo escalfado o setas o aguacate o algo más. Mi marido sentía lo mismo por su orden de almuerzo. La cuenta llegó a más de £ 50 y nos fuimos todavía sintiendo hambre. Si bien nos gustó el ambiente y el personal era atento y la comida era buena - y la industria de la hospitalidad está pasando un mal momento - nos sentimos no recibimos una buena relación calidad-precio.

Aunque la señalización aún está activa, Tomatinos ahora es parte del bar de tapas de al lado. Extremadamente confusas, puertas separadas, pero cuando te acercas a lo que se anuncia como Tomatinos, dice ¡entra por la otra puerta, que es el restaurante de tapas! Una vez dentro te dan 2 menús. Uno es pizza y otro tapas. Servicio lento y confuso, pedimos vino pero no lo tenían, ya que parece que no están reordenando nada en el menú de bebidas de Tomatinos, sino usando el caldo de las tapas. Todo fue un poco impredecible. El horno de leña para pizzas está en el lado ahora vacío del restaurante, así que nos decepcionó. Cuando llegaron las pizzas, sorprendentemente rápido teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que nos llevó tomar nuestro pedido y que llegara el vino, estaban muy buenas. Base fina y crujiente, mi tipo favorito y muy generosamente rematado. Se sentía caótico, pero ahora sabemos qué esperar, volveríamos ya que las pizzas estaban buenas.
