The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We had a family night and wanted some quality food everyone could enjoy. We'd realised there had been some additional items added to the menu since we last ordered from here and wanted to give it a try. We pre ordered our food as we know how sought after the pizzas are from this place. They were delivered on time and the quality was absolutely unreal. The extended family were impressed and I must say I'm a fan of the new devil's honey pizza 🍕. Highly recommend!

Monica's Deli is brilliant. Love the food and coffee, go there many times for delicious soups and cakes. All homemade will love and care. It's nice and quirky with great garden.

By far the best pizza I've had from any independent pizzeria. Great prices, incredibly friendly staff.

Ordered a takeaway, was a bit disappointed. Took over an hour and a half. Chips were barely cooked. Asked for a ham and cheese mini calzone which was burnt and had sausage meat instead of ham even though I rang and asked for ham instead.

Staying in Holt for a few days and we have been to various pubs and cafes in the area. Our last evening tonight and we all agreed that by far, our favourite meal was lunch at The Core today. Absolutely delicious, huge sandwiches and very nice coffee too. Would thoroughly recommend.

We bought the 3 course meal for 2 with wine. It was excellent quality and good value for money. There is an excellent selection of Italian foods for purchase, some making excellent gifts. We will definitely visit again!

Friendly, efficient independent cafe serving gorgeous italian pastries and a very good cappuccino. Reasonably priced, light and bright interior and just a great cafe.

Lovely little restaurant. We went with 7 of us for my sons birthday, on a Sunday evening, still quite busy for a Sunday. The Food was lovely and the staff very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be returning

Lovely independent coffee shop with good coffee and light food options and friendly staff creating a good atmosphere. I've visited here several times over the last few months and had a good experience every time.

Absolutely top place to go! Loved it! Ace staff thank you Andy and Ellie. Superb service. Fab cocktails. Very accommodating. Very reasonable. Met lovely people. And proper cocktails too. 💚🥂🍸

Takeaway is amazing hot and delicious. They are always accommodating with my requests. The new pasta is so good too. Keep up the good work

I’ve been to 89 social a few times. Last night I walked by with my gf and the vibe was too hard to ignore. Piano and sax on. Sat outside. Ended up having a bottle and a few FANTASTIC pasta dishes. The pasta tasted like it was home made by the bossman’s Italian nan. The enthusiasm when exploring the wine list, phenomenal establishment. Great place, great people. Don’t hesitate!

We had recently ordered a birthday cake for me so we went for a coffee and small cakes. Highly recommended for the cakes and superb coffee.

I was recently on a date in Bury having a few drinks and we decided to get something to eat. Before I continue let me explain that this was a first date and I couldn't believe my luck, this girl was incredible, unbelievably gorgeous, funny, easy to talk to the whole package and then some. More amazingly she still seemed happy to be out on a date with me. I was punching harder than Rocky when he fought the Russian. Way out of my depth and desperate for things to go well. I don't know Bury all that well but had recently done some work there for an Italian gentleman who took me for an authentic Italian pizza after work one evening. It was the best pizza I've had in my life no contest so seemed a no brainer to go for a pizza. When we arrived at the restaurant I had previously been to it was closed. I was devastated and didn't have a clue where else to suggest. We walked a little further up the road and spotted Meliá. After having a drink at the bar Michael found us a table and I soon discovered the restaurant we was in was the same restaurant I had been to before only in a new premises. Everything about the night was perfect, the food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere and most of all the company. It was certainly a night I'll remember with a smile for a long time. Thanks to Michael and all the staff at Meliá for making me look good. Fingers crossed we'll be back sometime. 😉

Great little coffee house, welcoming staff, very good coffee, more people should be supporting small businesses like this rather than your big conglomerates, have some class. Definitely worth a visit
