The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We had a fantastic Italian meal here last night and dined on the early dinner menu. I booked a table online and had really quick response to confirm booking. The only reason this isn't 5 * is because the al la carte menu was the only menu handed to us when we sat down and I had to ask for the early dinner menu. Perhaps a simple mistake but certainly saved us a considerable amount of money having 4 to dine. Would highly recommend the carbonara, it's probably the best I've ever had. Our kids took the bruschetta starters which were incredibly fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself has a lot of stairs and is not disabled friendly unfortunately, it appears to be an old town house conversion. All in an absolutely excellent place for a meal and would highly recommend as we couldn't fault the food at all.

This place never lets me down! The food and desserts are always fresh and full of flavour, and the staff are genuinely friendly and generous. It’s the perfect spot for a cosy lunch or a relaxed evening out. I’m hooked on their Spinach Ravioli, Norcina pizza, and the dreamy Tiramisu. Highly recommend!

Saturday night dinner with Friends. Sat upstairs, very busy and noisy. Nice menu and good service. Ordered: mussels, king prawns & mushrooms, followed by: calf livers, crab linguine & chicken pasta bake, finished with tiaramisu & affogato. All the food was very tasty, well cooked and presented. Great evening. Will return.

Excellent food and service, in a lovely atmosphere and location.

Wonderful food, I had the carbonara and my partner had the duck breast both were fabulous. Would visit again!

I ordered a medium rare fillet steak. I have always ordered medium rare from many places. This, however, was raw. Not rare, mind you, which is fine, No, literally completely raw. Even smelt raw . Unbelievable. Money down the drain and still need to buy/cook food for the day. Worst experience ever !!! I tried the lasagna as well, which was quite awful.

Came with my wife, 2 babies and a dog and staff could not have been more welcoming and lovely. Food was fabulous, garlic prawn starters were exceptional.

Great food & great service (again! 😀)

Una comida increíble. Servicio muy rápido y personal muy agradable, amable y servicial. Muy recomendable a cualquiera!

Really liked this Italian restaurant. Foods are really good, friendly service, and good atmosphere. Their salmon was very good, cooked to perfection making it tender and moist. Recommended place to dine here at Carlisle.

Was pleasantly surprised by this place. Food that I had was delicious. Great atmosphere and service was good enough. Set menu was also reasonably good value for money. Only went because the restaurant that I was going to was closed that evening. Nevertheless I was pleased I came across this place and shall go again.

I recently visited OGGI Italian Restaurant, and while the food had a tiny hiccup (nothing major!), the amazing service I received totally made up for it. Our waitress, Anu, was absolutely brilliant! And the team was fantastic. From the moment we sat down, Anu was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The team were always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, and all seemed like they wanted to help, something you rarely see in other establishments.

Very nice steak house and grill, me and my partner both had steaks and they were cooked very well, seasoned great and tasty, deffo recommend!

Received a telling off for being 30 mins late. EXCEPT we weren't as we'd phoned the day before and were told showing at 18.15 not 17.45 was fine as long as we were out by 19.45. The greeter gave us a dressing down and told us we'd have to be gone for 7.30. The stopwatch was on didn't make for a relaxing dinner. My 6th and last visit !

Great food great service great place
