The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Highly recommended for good quality food.

Typical empty place (Saturday night!!) that needs to scam people into ordering something under offer and then try to take as much money as possible. They advertise 2x1 cocktails in massive letters outside then, after ordering, they claim the small print says this and that (tiny text in the menu) and try to charge you double. Rude bartender as well who made the worse possible pina colada (3% of rum, just milk) Clearly a place extremely cheap with their customers. I am also Italian and there is nothing Italian about this place or food. Avoid

We have been coming here once or twice a year over the last 10 years while on walking weekends, usually on a Sunday night as the end of weekend treat. Our last visit was Sunday 10th November 2024, and the restaurant was full by 7pm. The food is always beautifully cooked and presented, and definitely not your average Italian pizza/lasagne type menu, but good tasty hearty food. It’s normally cold weather when we’re here, so I go generally for a hearty casserole type dish and have never been disappointed by quality or quantity. It’s not cheap, but definitely worth it, and we will keep coming back.

Had an absolutely amazing meal at Little Italy last night. Authentic home made Italian Food that is absolutely delicious. We were made very welcome, had a great evening and will return very soon. Highly recommended!

There were 12 of us at lunch to celebrate my birthday. We were made very welcombe by the lovely staff .The food was really good , excellent service , altogether a very nice meal .

Fantastic evening! Food, service, quality, everything! We were a table 10 friends and had the best evening. Exceptional in every way ! This will always be our favourite restaurant no matter where we go in the world. Highly recommend the prawn and chorizo risotto !

Unsuspecting on the outside, this cozy resturant is run by a lovely young Italian couple who are very friendly and seem to go out of their way to ensure you have a lovely meal. The food is wonderfully good and the atmosphere is perfect for an romantic date or a friendly catch up. Will definitely be coming here again, which in a culinary jungle such as Bethnal Green is saying something! :D

I can’t fault the pizza I had once it arrived - but the wait and the communication about it just wasn’t good enough. It took 30 minutes to arrive without any prior warning. After waiting for 20 minutes I asked someone what had happened to it who looked surprised and said she’d find out (and never came back to tell me). The food’s good and the staff are friendly enough but it doesn’t take much to communicate properly with your customers. It wasn’t the first time this has happened either.

Amazing food pasta was lovely as was the lasagne and great attentive service. Best Italian dish ever - don’t tell my wife.

Went while we were at Butlins to get out of there for a decent meal and that is exactly what it was The restaurant is clean and it’s and the service was friendly and good. There were 14 of us and all the meals were good and well presented would recommend. About 40 mins walk or the bus passes by if your going to Butlins

A very nice family run restaurant in Dover. We have lived in Italy and their cuisine really is genuine and delicious. A good selection on the menu .The house red wine is fine and the deserts are really great. You won't go wrong here!

If I could get 0 I would. Ordered food (I use the term loosely) which came out before the drinks. Just my food, not my partners. We had to then ask for the drinks. And finally, their food came out sometime after. The food came out, absolutely dripping in fat. Presentation awful. Could only eat one mouthful. Very cheap ingredients used. Clearly, don’t know the difference between prosciutto ham and cheap 99p supermarket ham. Not sure what the restaurants like upstairs, but if you consider eating in the café downstairs, carry on walking.

Nice choice of food and good price

4 of us came here for an anniversary celebration. Not huge place but lovely location & great ambience. We were very well looked after, we asked questions about the menu & specials & everyone was very knowledgeable. Food was all divine, beautifully presented & full of flavour. Everything cooked to perfection. Can totally understand why they are so busy here, 5 * all the way, many thanks.

Weekend away and booked this lovely little restaurant. Great service with plenty of dishes to choose from including the specials board. Would definitely recommend.
