The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

A lovely local pizza parlour with friendly staff. Tasty pizzas and big salads,

Fantastic independent Italian restaurant that is a real gem. Great service and a really good menu. I have had several trips here over recent years and I would suggest its Birmingham’s finest

I ate there 30 minutes ago. The guy that runs it (and the place itself) is more Italian than Silvio Berlusconi driving a Ferrari to a bunga bunga party. The pizza is quite fantastic, in the Napoli style. Quality ingredients that speak louder than huge portions and crazy combinations. I’m a life long pizza fan and only here for 1 day on business. Last time I had pizza of this quality I was in Rome (it’s not the same style pizza, but the ingredient quality, the love and frankly, the prices are on par). Don’t sleep on this, I can’t believe the prices will stay so good for long - and honestly why should they. The owner deserves all the success he is owed and anyone walking through the door of this gem deserves some of the best pizza in the UK right now.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food & fantastic staff. We loved it!

Food was great (calamari then lamb shank), and so was the (quick) service. However, as always, single female diner gets put as close to the toilet as possible. Is this just an unwritten rule?

Amazing selection of smoothies ! ! !

Delicious food and good service. However, the restaurant was holding a cigar launch event which we had not been advised of upon arrival. The smell of cigars in the restaurant was overwhelming and took the edge of what could have been a lovely evening. If you’re going to hold such an event in future - maybe close the restaurant or warn guests in advance?

Delicious food. Wonderful service. Give this place a try.

Loved our meal at San Giovanni! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Italian food and a great dining experience

A friendly restaurant with attentive staff and excellent pizzas. It’s always busy, and the coffee is great. Highly recommended! See you soon

Very tasty and refined food. Friendly staff! It's just a pity that a tip is already added at checkout. (12.5%)

Waited too long for main course. Man on table of 4 behind us got his food when rest of his table had finished. Shame as everything else great. Had similar issue here before. This was a 3 pm booking

A restaurant for a respectable family who welcomed us warmly Serve olives and bread with butter We ordered pizza (primavera) and pasta (penne napoli) The dishes were delicious Their service is fast We thank them for their cooperation, and I recommend visiting them

Staff were very dismissive and rude, they kept giving us dirty looks and the food was rather tasteless. Wouldve been a better experience if the staff were friendlier.

Stephen was a lovely service man. He was so attentive and helpful with anything we needed and our vegan needs
