The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Do not take bookings if cannot fulfill spoilt a night out, felt the owner was condescending will not be booking again in a hurry

Carluccio's at the London Heathrow Marriott is one of the best restaurants near the airport. The food is always very well prepared, the team members in the restaurant are great and the service is very efficient. Special thanks to Letizia and Kala for making me welcome. I will be back.

Overall lovely food and good service.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Gammon was lush and the veg was cooked perfectly. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Large portion and reasonably priced. Best Sunday lunch i’ve had in ages.

Visited with a friend after remembering a nice meal previously. Sadly, I was embarrassed and disappointed by the poor service we received. Ignored most of the time there and dismissive attitude to gluten free requests despite the website championing the availability. Delicious food but somewhat pricey.

Love Zero Sette. Best chef and amazing waiters! Laura and Steve really make this place great 🥰

I have dined at Valentino’s for many years and absolutely love the Lasagne and we love going there. On this occasion my Fiancee was at a Company dinner at another restaurant in the City. So I decided to order the Lasagna as a take away meal. When I got home and ate the meal. I was very disappointed in the quality. It resembled a cheap supermarket ready meal. It is was nothing like the standard of food that is served in the restaurant.

Food service everything is always spot on food is always piping hot and so tasty and the staff are professional and nice

From the moment you step inside, Piazza Italiana leaves a lasting impression. The soaring ceilings and elegant décor immediately set the tone — it feels luxurious but still warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is always spot on, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. Whether it’s a business lunch or a celebratory dinner, the attention to detail and quality of food never disappoints. A beautiful venue with consistently great hospitality — highly recommend.

Went in here for drinks after a gig at the students union. Great atmosphere and prices ok. Ended up staying in here till about 01:30am. Can definitely recommend for meeting up for pre or post gig drinks.

Our dining experience at Cona was nothing short of exceptional truly unforgettable from start to finish. We indulged in their 3-course Sunday roast, complemented by a few additional starters and sides, each dish reflecting the impeccable quality and care put into the food. To begin, we ordered the Wagyu Quesabirria and the Truffle Tagliolini. The Quesabirria were outstanding, crispy on the outside, with tender, melt in your mouth wagyu inside, perfectly paired with chimichurri and chili dips that elevated the flavours even further. The Tagliolini was rich and velvety, with the earthy aroma of truffle and the sharpness of parmesan coming together in a luxurious, comforting dish. We couldn't resist a second starter, the Chicken and Mushroom Lasagna. While mushrooms aren’t usually a favourite of mine, the presentation and refinement of the dish won me over. It was delicate yet full of depth a true testament to the chef’s craft. For the mains, we got the Salt Marsh Lamb and the Corn-Fed Chicken. Both came accompanied by a generous serving of wagyu fat-roasted potatoes, seasonal vegetables, a fluffy Yorkshire pudding, and rich, flavourful gravy. The lamb was perfectly cooked (i got medium), and the chicken was incredibly juicy and tender. We also added sides of Truffle Mac and Cheese and Truffle Mash, both indulgent, creamy, and packed with flavour. The mac and cheese, in particular, had the most satisfying cheese pull! To finish, we shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding with clotted cream and a Chocolate Fondant paired with salted caramel ice cream. The desserts were, in all honesty, the highlight of the meal. The sticky toffee pudding is an absolute must try, warm, gooey, and deeply satisfying. For drinks, we went with a dragonfruit and a strawberry mocktail, both vibrant, refreshing, and noticeably fresh. These were no ordinary mocktails! The service was flawless throughout, attentive staff, quick table resets between courses, and a sense of fine dining without the pretense. Cona effortlessly combines minimalist design with elegant touches, making it a perfect spot for any occasion. If you’re in Bradford, this is a culinary destination you don’t want to miss!

Fantastic roast dinner!! We went for a birthday celebration and we were not disappointed! Choose from lamb shank, pork, chicken or beef (or a trio of meats) with all the trimmings! Absolutely delicious, generous portions and staff who are welcoming, helpful and friendly. I chose the lamb and it fell off the bone and others chose the trio of meats and were raving about them! Lots of yummy sides to choose from! The only downside was we didn't have room for their legendary tirimisu after! We'll definitely be back.

Lovely meal with the family. Great food from starters to desert, atmosphere, clean, warm and relaxed, and great service with friendly staff. Very reasonably priced too. We will all definitely visit again soon.

Amazing service. They were so nice. Everything we ate was amazing.

The food here is fantastic and the service is first class! The staff are professional and friendly and cater for a relaxed family or date night. We have eaten in here 4 times now and always had hot, delicious and fresh food!
