The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Burnt to a crisp burger and pink on the Inside clear cooked from Frozen garlic bread burnt to a crisp at the bottom frozen re cooked/ burnt meatballs and no deserts or coffee

I was delighted with my first visit to Purezza - a huge all-vegan pizzeria in London. The food was amazing (I had the 'meatballs' and mini mac'n'cheese, and a taste of my dining companions' pizzas) and our waitress Natasha was extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend you go and can't wait for my next visit!

Good food and great wines by the glass

Very friendly restaurant and people. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Service was good.

This restaurant felt like a lovely and authentic italian restaurant. The staff were attentive with fast service, plus the food was delicious !!

Very friendly staff, lovely food and drink.

We've visited Baci a number of times, with friends, family and as a couple and have always found the food to be of a great quality and tasty. Staff are always friendly. Would be great if they increased their vegetarian options on the menu, as only a couple of simple items suitable for vegetarians.

Great place, very friendly staff, food was great. See you next year.

We had quite a mixed experience at Al Bivio, where we had to eat as the neighbouring Premier Inn had made a hash of their evening meal provision. We went on two occasions: an excellent pizza, with a generous home-made base, and a delicious pasta dish with chicken and white wine. However, from the Specials lists, a lasagne was quite tough, and my seafood risotto over-salty, though I would add that it was generously filled. A pet theme of mine: this restaurant is NOISY! Not one single absorbent surface anywhere, just a bare glass frontage and plain walls that reflect sound. Having a conversation in here feels like hard work.

A lovely Italian restaurant! There’s a good selection of different dishes, including vegetarian options at really good prices. We ordered pizzas and desserts - tiramisu, lemon sorbet and panna cotta. All of the food was absolutely delicious beyond our expectations! The service was amazing as well. Would highly recommend and will be coming back!

Definitely the best Italian in Carlisle! Every time we go, we are never disappointed, each starter and main meal are simply divine, we’re always too full to get a pudding! Tonight we had mussels and meatballs to start, then cod risotto and sea bass. The mussels are in a large bowl and very tasty, exceptional value - I sometimes ask for these as a main meal. My husband said the meatballs were delicious. The cod risotto is an absolute treat, crispy skin, soft and tasty flesh, and the risotto compliments the cod exceptionally well. My husband had the sea bass, and again just mouth watering! Beautiful meal, excellent service and reasonable! Thank you Amatos for being so amazing, you are our favourite Italian in town and we will be back!

Really lovely food, nice service, food was adapted to our needs and taste. Hubby says they were the best profiteroles he'd ever had.

Lovely Sunday lunch but would like some roast potatoes . Nice welcoming staff

Took 26 staff out for a thank you meal here recently and the food and service was excellent, they really looked after us and everyone one of the 26 people enjoyed it, all credit to them as taking on such a large booking and still serving the rest of the customers is very difficult
