The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Phenomenal restaurant. The food is fresh and tasty every time I’ve been. Exquisite prawns and delicious linguini. Since eating the pizza from here, I’ll never go back to Dominos. The service is first class, so hospital and authentic - helps the experience of dining. The atmosphere is just right, pleasant to be there, soft music and well decorated. Highly recommended. Look no further.

Visited here a few times and always find the food excellent quality. The atmosphere is great, and you’re never made to feel rushed to leave your table. Great happy hour at only £18 for 3 courses.

Lovely, friendly staff. Good food, reasonably priced, and good service. Booked for evening meal with friends. Tables spaced nicely so not hearing other people’s conversations. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was good, reasonably priced. Not hurried or rushed to place order or to finish courses. Definitely go again.

Came for a birthday lunch as a table of 10. From the moment we booked, the team were extremely helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. On the day we were late due to traffic and still received 5* service. Food was fantastic, atmosphere was great. Definitely in my top 5 eating out experiences

We ordered 125ml rose prosecco each. Glasses came out less. We queried and told correct measure. Another couple ordered exactly the same but their glasses had full 125 measure. Despite querying, it's clear given short measures. Avoid buying drinks here? Otherwise, staff friendly.

I am not a fan of icecream or gelato, but this was a delicious treat. The chocolate was creamy and luscious as was the berry gelato. Huge portions which we divided. Not a single ice-crystal in the gelato! Literally like eating it freshly churned in our home kitchen. I will make the trek to go back.

Sorrento gets it right - a perfectly lit, warm atmosphere; staff who are polite and friendly; food that is great quality and not overpriced. This has been somewhere for our family to have special meals for years now.

We have visited this family run restaurant a few times and it never fails to impress. From the warm welcome upon arrival from Enrico Jr and Sabrina, the attentive service and mouth watering food that leaves you wanting for more. There is nothing more to add. We will definitely be booking again soon …

Franco Manca is great! Our server, Hiral was excellent. She was very sweet and super friendly. We saw her nightly for a whole week. Best service ever!!!!! Come check them out and ask for her!

Booked for 6 people in advance as I have coeliac only one dish GF on the menu or they could do Gf pizza base not happy there was not a lot Of choice for GF when I had let them know. Food was cooked well staff were nice but would have liked more choice GF only ice cream for desert. Was my birthday and I felt quite embarrassed that I could only choose one meal. Everyone I was with enjoyed there meal

Love visiting Roma, always come home with a full bag of goodies, can't resist all the lovely bread, olive's pastry's ect. The staff always happy and friendly. We had a lovely chat about being kind in this troubled world. Thank you for being so special x

Called pre match at the emirates, staff were polite and friendly and the pizza was wonderful. £32 for 2 pizza and 2 cokes

I was sad to find out and see for myself but the website also reads the following message:

Visited Santinni restaurant with my family and was pleasantly surprised. The external of the property isn’t the best, but once you enter you can see the care and pride that is taken in the restaurant. The environment was welcoming, the staff were polite, professional and very knowledgable. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Then we get to the food, it was outstanding. It was fresh, cooked perfectly and very enjoyable. We will return

Second time here for the bottomless brunch, probably the best value for money one I’ve been to in Preston. The food is amazing, Prosecco/cocktails are good quality and the staff are lovely, can’t do enough for you. Highly recommend.
