The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Good food and good services , highly recommended

A really, really poor meal unfortunately. Pasta tasted like it was from Tesco (the value range at that) and the sauce was weak and watery with little to no flavour. The sauce was advertised to come with king prawns and when it arrived they were so incredibly tiny! Imagine the shrimp you might get from Iceland supermarket. A traditional salad of tomato and onions was barely one tasteless, unseasoned tomato and half a sliced onion - no oil, vinegar or herbs to be seen. Pizza was okay... just and the wine was good but unfortunately these were the only "positives" to take away from the evening. Very, very disappointed, no wonder they were so quiet on a Friday night. Not what you expect for £20 per head meal for sure.

When I arrived I could already see that it would be an amazing time. My family walked in and we sat at a table and they welcomed us. The decoration in there was fantastic and it was very welcoming. The staff gave us the menus and they then gave us time decide what we would like to have. The staff are very friendly and kind. I ordered the home made garlic bread with melted mozzarella cheese on the top. It arrived and it looked amazing and it tasted even better. I would recommend it. For the main I got the margherita pizza and it was the best pizza I have ever ate. With the children’s meal I got a children sized ice cream and you could choose your flavour and there were 7 to choose from. I chose chocolate. This wonderful place is highly recommended for you.

I don’t recommend for gluten free pizza. The dough was raw, as was the tomato sauce. After giving feedback, I was still charged the full amount plus extra for the GF base…

Amazing food and friendly service can't complain even left with a goody bag chose from the pesto menu for 3 plates each chicken wings (spicy) and another 2 delicious options would recommend to anyone

We eat here regularly. Always a happy greeting, the food is consistently good and VFM and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. You will never leave hungry.

Good pizza, simple and tasty. Friendly service. The prices are on the higher side, though.

We came here on a Wednesday evening without a booking we were seated immediately as we were greeted by the door which was already such a lovely welcome. There is so so much choice!! There’s a choice for everyone we had two starters, mozzarella in Carrozza and melanzane Alla parmigana as well as a cheesy garlic bread it was delicious I couldn’t even get a photo as we just devoured it instantly we especially loved the napolitana dip with the fried mozzarella we even dipped our garlic bread into it😍for mains my boyfriend had a pizza quatro formaggi it had the perfect crispiness on the outside and the soft dough in the middle loaded with toppings, I had the penne con funghi e pollo it had a creamy sauce which was perfect with the mushrooms, there were different varieties of mushrooms inside and the chicken was perfectly cooked! We didn’t manage to finish everything so we took the leftovers home and had it the next day at work (it tastes just as good if not better the next day😍) we also ended up having dessert even though we were very full I went for profiteroles which had a very generous coating of chocolate on top and my boyfriend had a creame brûlée which was from the specials board both tasted amazing just like the whole meal we were offered coffee and drinks at the end however we don’t drink coffee so we didn’t try it but we honestly had an amazing experience the two gentlemen waiting that night were ever so helpful as we had a taste card and I didn’t realise I had to book and I had to tell them about it but they were very generous to still give us the discount but we would have honestly been happy to pay the full amount and even more as this tasted exactly how it really tastes in Italy so thank you so much again and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

We came to Ricca’s after a recommendation. We were not disappointed. The food is excellent as well as the service, B and the rest of the staff looked after us very well. This was the first time at this restaurant but it will not be the last. Very impressed.
