The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Just visited on Firework night and the speediest service which is always a bonus but to top it off the food was fantastic. Some of the best lie and mash I have tasted! Highly recommend a visit.

We came across this place by accident whilst visiting the area. The staff are absolutely amazing - so friendly and welcoming. The food ( Ratatouille pizza, bruschetta and rocket salad) were great. Possibly the best bruschetta I’ve ever had. Thank you. You must go there!

Not reviewed Buonissimo for a while, but we visit regularly, coffee is exceptional, the food is always excellent, whether it be a main meal or a simple sandwich, the Amalfi open sandwich, is just delicious, & in all honesty, we have tried nearly everything, & it is all first class. The deli counter also offers some mouth watering products. The staff are polite & helpful, & you can guarantee a warm welcome.

Amazing food, reasonable price! James served us and he was delightful, recommending the best things for all of us! Thank You Pappagone!

Popped in for breakfast as wanted to put money in to local business rather than McD’s etc and the board outside stated 2 breakfasts and 2 teas £12 which seemed reasonable. The breakfast was well sized however the sausage was bland as was the grilled tomato. Bacon and beans were good. The pot of tea wasn’t the best. At no point did anybody pop over and ask us if we were enjoying our meal or if everything was ok. The decor was tired with marks on the walls and the door was filthy. We were in early and the place was empty so wasn’t as though the grime had built up in the day and would have took a minute to wipe it down with a damp cloth at least. Also the table cloth was stained. When went to pay it was £15.88 and not the £12 as advertised outside but couldn’t be bothered challenging as it was the missus’s birthday. Won’t be going there again as just not good enough.

I had an iced cappuccino and my wife had a iced tea - jasmine I think which she said was very nice. My coffee was excellent, really tasty and with not too much milk so it was strong enough. It was particularly good for an iced coffee.

First time I've ever been to this charming little park...on a beautiful sunny morning I spotted this cafe & thought fabulous I'll have a coffee. As I entered I was putting my mask on and one of the strings broke the mask was still covering my face as I was holding it. To my SHOCK I look up & this man behind the counter (the owner I think) which was at least 2 metres away wearing a mask himself starts to SHOUT AT ME!! The way in which this man spoke to me was actually shocking I've been reading some of the other reviews an this seems to be a reoccurring theme. In this time when so many businesses are struggling we as consumers have a choice were we spend our money and many of us choose to try and support local businesses...this one WONT get my support..this man is a RUDE & is going the right way about ruining his own business

Mejor Italiano en Leeds! La comida es auténtica y la señora es tan amable y educado. Incluso nos llevó la comida al coche, que era increíblemente amable. Definitivamente volveré

Amazing pasta in borough market. Very quick and definitely freshly made. Very filling with big portion and worth the trip. Had it twice!

Fuimos varias veces durante los meses de agosto y septiembre. El menú no era largo, pero todo estaba recién hecho, desde cero. Cuando fuimos temprano, el servicio fue bastante rápido, pero más tarde se llenó (es un lugar pequeño) y ¡el servicio nos llevó más de una hora! Por suerte, queríamos hablar. Tuve la berenjena / berenjena parmigiana más de una vez, estaba delicioso. El camarero italiano / de Sri Lanka fue desternillante. (y muy lindo)

Very good cafe. Excellent selection of sandwiches, cakes and pastries. Staff were very friendly and coffee was fantastic.

Lots of flavours. Huge scoops. Lots of different cones. Happened to have a sunny day so after some chips we came across this place and sat in the sunshine outside. Recommend

Food was excellent and service was excellent. Really nice wine list as well. It is expensive but we don’t mind that if you get what you pay for, which in this case, we felt Bacala nailed it. Location is great, ambience very hip. Our only complaint as tourists not family with London dining scene is that a standard “optional” 13% service charge is added to your bill, post tax. No one tells you about it even though it is “optional”. We paid the bill and added a 20% gratuity, which is typical in the US for good service. The next day when we accounted for our dinner expenses we saw the service charge. The server accepted the 33% tip and never said a word about it. Not even a heartfelt thank you! We went to dinner somewhere else the next night. We now know about the 13% but once again the server did not point it out on the bill. So we asked about it and the server told us it is a gratuity. It is not unreasonable to expect that the menu list a note that an optional 13% gratuity service charge is added to all bills. It’s not up to the server. The restaurant should disclose.

Quick and friendly service. Delicious pizzas. Great local place for a relaxed and enjoyable meal. Will be going back again.

Visited on a Saturday night with a group of 11 friends. Firstly we were asked to pre-order as a large group which we did but I don't think this works for tapas. The food was tasty, well cooked & presented nicely, cannot fault the food. However, the service was terrible, despite there being a lot of Staff on duty, we felt ignored by them. The restaurant was not busy but the staff were pretty much not there. We were ignored when arriving, one friend waited 20 minutes for a gin & tonic on arrival, when chased, response was rude not apologetic at all. We were not asked if anything was alright until we had finished, nor if we needed anything else and did not have the opportunity to order any more drinks than what we ordered on arrival as no staff came near the table. We would have had a lot more drinks if able to order so the restaurant missed out here. Turns out the young inexperienced staff felt no need to be present in the restaurant to respond to our needs but were more concerned with what appeared to be socialising and eating around the bar. There is a lack of supervision of the waiting on staff, hence we purposefully left no tip. Sadly despite the food being good & the ambiance & decor being lovely, we will not visit again as the staff are so inattentive. Sadly despite Sadly despite
