The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

This is a great restaurant tucked away on Wendron Street (best booking) as is open 6.30pm to 8.30pm. My wife, 12 year old son and I went again this summer. The waitress is very friendly, will go through the menu and recommend dishes and the atmosphere is authentic. The menu is full of original dishes - pastas, pizzas, seafood and chicken etc. Would thoroughly recommend Giuseppes - the food is delicious and you dont wait long.

Es uno de los buenos establecimientos de comida para bocadillos y otros artículos. El sabor de la comida era realmente muy bueno. Está bien mantenido outlet

This pace is a tourist rip off. I ordered the sourdough carcollled bread and it was tasteless. The rigatonni to follow was in a watery tomato sauce and nothing special. As a decentant of Italians from Napoli I would say best avoid and seek out a genuine Italian eatery

Excellent pizza in an authentic and cozy atmosphere. This is the real deal if you're looking for authentic and good tasting pizza. A really small and authentic restaurant, with a passionate and friendly owner. They have pasta dishes as well. I tried the Picante pizza and it was excellent. From a personal point of view it could have a bit more nduja,but others might find it more than enough. Even had a good discussion with the manager about preferences concerning the crust, as I am quite the pizza nerd myself. Fairly priced as well, and charming surroundings, so all in all this is a highly recommended visit if in London.

DO NOT BOOK WITH LA BELLE. They sent out a notice to all bookings at the end of May that they were shutting down operations and that the website would be completely unavailable as of June 15th. We had our elopement dinner booked with a chef through them that we were then scrambling to find an alternative for. In the meantime, we requested a refund. After a nightmare of going back and forth over a dozen times with them, with no responses or vague responses with no follow through, I was finally able to get the refund processed- but they kept their booking fee. They decided to send out an email on June 8th- 3 days after they have disabled their website for users to manage their bookings- that they had decided they could maintain operations. But by that point, we’d already managed to book the same chef through another platform. I’ve now requested them to refund the booking fee multiple times, but they claimed they could still meet the booking so they didn’t have to, and I’ve already told them that’s not possible since that chef isn’t available to them on that night since we booked him elsewhere. They are no longer responding to any messages I’ve sent requesting the remaining balance. This business practice is completely unacceptable and untrustworthy. Do not risk your event with this shady business.

This is am absolute little gem of a place, food is amazing, great staff and the restaurant is very clean, great welcome. we went twice in July an cant wait for them to open after there Holiday's ..Highly Recommended

I've been here several times. The food is amazing and the place is cozy and Luigi, the manager, is a lovely italian man. Totally recommend

Ordered for takeaway and pizza was picked up burnt and cold, received a phone call saying could we pick up half an hour earlier as it was busy so I assume he just cooked it for that time and left it sat on the side. Poor.

Having worked in Italy for many years, from Piedmont to Palermo, from Udine to Brindisi one gathers a knowledge of where to eat. Not the expensive and plush, but the authentic, home based and quality based cooking. What’s interesting is Osteria Ovada is not in the West End or Mayfair but Finchley Rd (Camden), and this gives it even more authenticity as a bit of travel is needed to find. It’s in a simple street, with a simple facade and inside is simple, but once you’re in, you’re in Italy!!! Great recipes, everything is carefully sourced and an exceptional selection of wines. The owner Paolo is not only cooking but producing wine, name me another restaurant in London where this is the case? The prices are genuinely reasonable, I went for the first time recently with family and for sure will return.

Great local Italian restaurant serving delicious homemade pasta with a variety of sauces. Starters and puds were delicious especially the tiramisu. We had a really fun evening catching up with friends and despite being quite late into the evening never felt rushed. A great place to hang out with friends - definitely recommended.

Visited this place last week and we had booked a table for lunch. We were greeted and seated promptly and service throughout was pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent with a starter of sizzling garlic king prawns followed by a chefs special of chicken cordon bleu which was a huge portion served with fantastic roasted chips and salad. We will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

Relaxed evening with lovely freshly prepared food and friendly staff. Good choice of wines and very reasonable prices, we will be back

A friend and I had our “Special” birthday celebratory lunch with friends at Al Fresco. We all had a delicious lunch and staff were were friendly. Plus a great help in the planning stage. Thank you.

Teníamos muchas ganas de gustar este lugar, pero por desgracia el personal astuto y el enfoque furtivo para cobrar a los clientes nos ha pospuesto completamente - cobran £ 2 por el queso parmesano para tener con su pasta (! ) y también £ 2 . 50 por una botella de agua del grifo (robo a la luz del día. ) Nada de esto se le explica, por lo que se va sintiéndose más bien abandonado, al igual que el cliente muy abatido que gritaba a la administración durante la mayor parte de nuestra comida. La comida tampoco lo compensaba. Totalmente mediocre. Desgraciadamente uno que perderse especialmente con las muchas otras opciones en Garrett lane.

There are a few vegetarian options on the menu and all of the pizzas were really nice; they seemed really fresh and homemade, really crispy too. We managed to squeeze in without a booking on a Saturday night since we were eating early but I suspect a booking would be needed generally. The service was good and the prices reasonable.
