The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Excellent food and service, highly recommend!

Went to the Ropers with friends ..our first visit. Situated along the River in Horncastle Road Boston, The Ropers is an old pub now converted into an Italian Bistro. The manager was very friendly, and welcoming., and offered us home made crisps which were so delicous. Sadly my meal didn’t live up to the high expectation l had. My tempura prawns were all batter and hardly any prawn..not very nice at all.My chicken in mushroom main coarse was quite tough as Infact was my wife’s steak. Sadly a rather disappointing visit.

Very quiet on a Thursday at 7.30pm, only 2 other tables ( of 4 and 2 people). The food was very fresh and hot, friendly female owner. Very good value for money on the Groupon voucher for a three course meal. My only negative was that on my calabrese pizza there was excessive diced onion which was only just cooked and we weren't offered parmazan for our starters or pasta.

Delicious orange lemonade and ham and cheese pediona (I’m probably misspelling it- but it was a lovely flat Italian bread). Affordable and a good pit stop.

Parked outside with a disabled badge and one of the workers came out and started having a go at me along with her partner who had just dropped her off. Not a very nice to think not only do these type of people work in Swadlincote but really puts off customers thinking of trying the restaurant in the future.

A hidden gem! We absolutely love The Italian and we’ve been several times since moving to Romiley in summer 2024. Delicious food which offers great value for money. The portion sizes are always generous. Can’t fault the service - the staff have always been incredibly friendly and welcoming. We love The Italian and will continue to support this fab local business!

Fabulous food and excellent service,

Terrible experience. We made a reservation through the Fork app, with a time set for 9:30 pm, but the restaurant did not accept it. They said it was already closing, even though its regular opening hours are until 10:00 pm. Besides, the service left something to be desired, so it's better not to offer it through the app.

Went for lunch yesterday and the meal was superb. We’ve been there three times in the last year and each time the food has been excellent and the staff really good. It was so good we have booked in for their Sunday lunch - which I’ve heard is very good.

It’s a nice little restaurant very cosy and serves good food nice place to go for dinner my family all enjoyed it

Visitamos un sábado por la noche. La comida era excelente y el personal era maravilloso, eficiente y amable. Sin duda volveremos

No puedo dejar 'Loulou's' fuera de mis críticas londinenses, aunque he expresado mi opinión en otros lugares. En primer lugar la comida: Es poco aventurero, bellamente cocinado, presentado y servido, y asquerosamente, el cabello - cada vez más caro. En cuanto al aspecto del lugar, podría haber sido diseñado por un comité de obispos medievales, o posiblemente la selección de fútbol de Inglaterra. El cardenal Wolsey conoce a los Beckham. Birley presumiblemente visitó Versalles, tomó algunas fotos y decidió que era justo lo que Mayfair necesitaba. Lamentablemente para él, la clase real siempre es discreta. La actitud moderna -en gran medida transatlántica- que requiere que los de vasta riqueza se aseguren de que todos los demás lo sepan, no seguirá de moda por mucho tiempo.

Mi esposa y yo más dos amigos fuimos el sábado 14 de diciembre a eso de las 3. 00 pm. El lugar estaba vacío, tal vez había una razón para ello. Mi comida de lingüina con langosta no era comestible. El marisco era como caucho y masticable y la langosta extra consistía en una gran concha y unos pocos tentáculos pero sin carne. Cómo un restuarante puede salirse con la suya sirviendo comida no comestible mendigos creencia pero esto era obviamente por qué estaba vacío. No me quejé ya que tuvimos que los huéspedes con nosotros, pero el cargo por servicio de 12 . El 5% era difícil de tragar, supongo que como la comida.

Well I visited this restaurant for the first time with my Italian partner and tell you what it was a HIT! My partner is from Sicily and very hard to please, to say the least doesn't like any Italian restaurant soo much in London. This Place made her happy. She says 'real Italian is this'! Fantastic service, the waiter was amazing, food nicely presented and great aura about the place. There is a good variety of dishes from Italy and their specials on the board were appealing. In fact I will have to visit again as she really want to eat everything ;) Also it was good on my pocket.

We tried this restaurant for the first time at the weekend and are pleased we did. The place has a good atmosphere .The food was very enjoyable and served by very pleasant staff.
