The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Good food and lovely friendly staff. We've been going here for a lot of years and are always looked after and well fed. Thanks

Recommended on TripAdvisor, the Marina Vista Restaurant lived up to all the star 5🌟 reviews! Delicious food & a relaxing atmosphere with lovely views of the water The staff were friendly and checked several times to see if everything was OK. The food was plentiful and tasted devine, penne pasta cooked al dente and loads of King Prawns & shrimps in my dish. We also ordered the calabrese pasta which tasted very fresh and was a large portion We will be back for sure!!!!

Turned up for table booked for pre-theatre lunch only to find it is now called Salt & Pepper!!! Only taking cash and was almost empty at 1.30. Food was lovely however so hopefully they will get sorted soon!!!

The pizza was fantastic— However, the service was another story. Our pizza actually arrived before our drinks, and there was some confusion about our vegan order. It’s possible the staff members were new, but that just highlights the need for better training. Also, be prepared for the cold—this place could double as a walk-in freezer. If you're planning to visit, don’t leave your coat in the car—you’ll need it!

On the off chance we popped on on a busy Saturday on bank holiday weekend . We’re lucky to get a table as the weather had been bad and it was quieter than expected. Owner was chatty and friendly, as were the staff. Food all delicious. Loved that I had a jug of lime to pour in my soda!

Worst carbonara I’ve ever had. I don’t usually order this because so many places don’t know how to cook it properly but I thought I’d be safe in an Italian restaurant with such good reviews, but my main really was like a bland cream soup with boiled spaghetti floating in it. And with very pale and huge strips of bacon that looked boiled and very unappetising. Basically everything a carbonara shouldn’t be. It’s so frustrating when an Italian restaurant doesn’t know how to cook a classic Italian dish. However, the starter and pudding were fine and the rest of our party enjoyed their meals so maybe I just choose the wrong thing (hence the 3 and not 2 stars).

The meal was indeed delicious but a little oily at the restaurant. We were served by a waiter named, Louis who was friendly and kind throughout our time there. Thanks for the wonderful dining experience ;)

Fab evening spent in Little Italy. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, with lovely atmosphere. The restaurant service is first class, proving a good selection of wine gorgeous food and excellent service.

Beautiful food, fantastic staff, great menu for all tastes. We cannot recommend more highly,it's absolutely a must to go to . Price range for all budgets. Perfect little touches with complimentary warm potatoes cakes and a lemoncello after dinner 👌 The salmon with a pistachio cream and kale with garlic and chilli was superb. We will definitely be going back to try more of their menu

Where to start as I’m lost for words to be honest. This is hands down the worst food experience we’ve ever had! Both starters and main courses were poor quality and not as described on the menu. Frozen prawns and gamberoni had no taste. The ‘flat’ steak was like shoe leather (and very little of it) and the chips seemed to have been reheated and fried in really old oil. The chicken was very dry with some tinned tomatoes thrown on top of it… no sign of cheese or cream as promised on the menu. No hint of ant Italian herbs or garlic either. Just awful. Served with 2v small boiled potatoes and frozen veg. We paid £45 and were robbed. Just can’t believe we fell for the great reviews. I suppose everyone has different quality standards and we won’t ever return.

Wow! The food was 'autentica' because it is freshly prepared to order, you are encouraged to tailor it to your own personal taste. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu, even the 'specials' board which changes. The staff are so friendly. Big shout out to 'Nina' who took our order and looked after us. It's great to experience an Italian restaurant with genuine Italian speaking staff. You feel Iike you are in Italy, historic map of Italy on the wall, another beautiful photo of Venice's Rialto bridge. It's the full authentic Italian experience. You can practice your Italian before your next Italian holiday. Will be a regular from now on. Thank you. Dino.

Look to be quite honest, any Uber or pizza place which doesn’t take the restaurant off the app and still takes your money is a super disgrace lost a lot of respect for this place and word-of-mouth is karma in a nutshell.

I went to caravaggio for lunch this afternoon I had a lovely mixed fish skewers with Lobster sauce I highly recommend Caravaggio restaurant in Camberwell Moreover the staff members are lovely, they are so friendly and professional I loved this experience once again in caravaggio, I am coming back very soon. I am adding the dish picture that I had today. Thank to Caravaggio

A nice and cozy place to enjoy some fine Italian food in Didsbury. The fresh ingredients and the taste of good food and flavours is something you can go back with. Some vegetarian options and plenty of sea food options. Worth a definite visit

Had lunch today with 5 friends. The servers were both so miserable it was unbelievable. Over priced over rated and disappointing. Will not be returning
