The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Zeus was fantastic. We had a great time and with lovely food. Will definitely come again! The food was delicious and fairly priced

We visited for a quick lunch today. The visit was lovely - food was delicious, ambience relaxed and welcoming and the service was absolutely exemplary, the staff were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

The Angler has had a “customer confusing” time during the last five’s years as it morphed through many stages from The Mill Street Pub and Kitchen in 2019 to its current new Nepalese style dining set up. At each stage I’ve giver The Angler a try and while there were moments of inspirational magnificence from many of its proprietors, there was sadly no consistency with its menu offer, food quality or service. Considering the above (and knowing there are 6 other Asian restaurants in town)I was still happy to try the new Nepalese offering to assess its potential and I am happy to report that I enjoyed the food and the enthusiasm from the team yesterday evening. Everything we ordered was delivered to our table well cooked and well presented and everything tasted very good. I had a lamb dish which was very tasty with well cooked and tender lamb meat. The two different chicken main courses my friends enjoyed were equally delicious. We shared three starters which also hit the spot. Good tasty food. Great service and good value!! Well done to Suq & Manish and their colleagues for a good dining experience. Stay consistent with the food, service and value and we will be back for more. No consistency equals no customers!!

This little Italian restaurant is nestled right in the heart of Lytham square. A warm welcome greeted us as soon as we opened the door. Our table was at the back of the restaurant and was therefore lovely and quiet. Staff were attentive and friendly and we felt right at home. We had a small starter of dough sticks and they were delicious. Our mains were excellent and there was plenty of choice. Pizzas are enormous so beware! Good value for money for the whole menu. I’d definitely recommend them and will visit again soon.

Absolutely the most attentive service and the food was fabulous. Always will be a no.1 restaurant for family and friends.

Been eating here/from here for many years. Best pizza anywhere. Great staff over many years. Friendly owner. Consistently good. Lamb chops perfect (I know 🤷‍♂️)

Rarely give 5 stars but this place 100% deserves it. Been twice and both time it was phenomenal, better then a lot of the Italians in town. P.S - Get the prawns to start

Unfortunately did not have a great experience here due to mistakes that could have been avoided, we booked a table for a work celebration there was about 20 of us, we preordered based off the menu online. I had preordered penne marinara from their online menu, as I am from England I understood that this was just a tomato pasta sauce, and there is nothing on their online menu to suggest marinara is seafood, however I received a penne pasta with tomato sauce and seafood. My sister is allergic to seafood and I don’t eat it to keep her safe. I told them I didn’t order seafood penne, he became angry and shouted at me that I did, I asked to see the menu when he showed me, that’s when we all realised their online menu is different to the one in the restaurant, he brought me a menu to say marinara is seafood, but this is not mentioned on the online menu we used when we preordered, and unfortunately being English and not being Italian, marinara in England is just tomato garlic sauce not seafood like it is in Italy, my fault for not knowing marinara means seafood in Italian but the manager or owner who was serving us just began shouting at me. A female waitress apologised and moved him away from me and brought me just a tomato penne pasta said sorry again and understood what had happened and fixed the issue without an issue, clearly a mistake on both parts. After I’d eaten it the angry manager came over and asked me how my seafood pasta was sarcastically. 3 or 4 of us preordered the online menu tomato garlic bread to start, and one of us ordered a tomato garlic bread for their main. But when it arrived in the restaurant it was a plain garlic pizza bread, as their menu in their restaurant is different to the one online and doesn’t include tomato. Also despite pre ordering two of the starters were missing and had to be chased up 10 mins or so after we had all eaten our starters and the same happened again for our mains, two were missing and a side of chips which we had to chase up. We spent about £582 and just didn’t feel we had a good experience despite pre ordering and we even brought our pre order on a document with us to make sure we were organised when we got there. Food was excellent however and we had a good time. Just a shame to be shouted at in a restaurant by the manager at what clearly was a genuine mistake, as I don’t speak Italian.

Amazing food and outstanding customer service!! Definitely our most favorite local Italian restaurant.

We had the most amazing dinner here on recommendation from friends so glad we went! The restaurant is very romantic in the evening and feels very cozy! Oh my word the food is out of this world.

The tortellini and blush sauce was great. The eggplant parmesan was tasty but the marinara sauce on it was flavorless and uncooked. Overall, the service was friendly and fast. The garlic knots are delicious, but could use more garlic.

Visited this place again when visiting on our half term family getaway. We always come here every holiday and always greeted warmly. Once we are in the area we will be back again for sure.

Fabulous food, excellent service and a great ambience. Our first visit, but we will definitely be coming again. Thanks to all the staff.

Wow, talk about disappointment! Booked this for my birthday at 7pm. Absolute poor service from the start. Didn’t get seated till 7.10pm after being squashed at the main reception. A waitress didn’t try to take our order till 7.35pm after being knocked into several times where we were sat. When asked to move was told they’d try but was very rude about it. Finally left without food by choice and the manager didn’t care and expected us to pay for our coke and lemonade. Definitely won’t be back and my friend said she won’t return either.

Visited here whilst staying nearby for the weekend. We had a tastecard so had 2 4 1 on all courses. The restaurant was very quiet on arrival (bank holiday Sunday evening) and remained so during the evening. The food was excellent (we had starters and mains each) and came in good time. The service was at times a little slow as it appeared a stock take was going on at the time. We were too full for dessert this time. Loved up to the Bella Italia brand well.
