The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

I'm not sure why it is like a fine dine restaurant. I wish there were negative reviews to give. Firstly, a restaurant like this the service is appalling. You need to keep calling the waiter. Which is not a big issue. But when your restaurant is only 30% full, how does it take 15 minutes to bring drinks and 50 minutes to bring your food. It looked like all staff were very lethargic. The worst part was the menu. When your dish says 'Gnocchi Al Pesto' and the description says it's made with Pesto sauce, you would expect to have a Pesto taste in your dish. But the dish came with tangy tomato sauce, which tasted nothing close to Pesto. When mentioning to the manager, she was adamant that the menu mentions Tomato, so Pesto sauce is mixed with tomato. It doesn't make up to your taste, but they never had complaints. I explained that your dish name and description mention Pesto and Pesto sauce. So, as any normal customer, i ordered a dish thinking to be tasting like Pesto. But she was adamant that they couldn't really do anything regarding it and won't replace the meal and would charge me. Worthless argument and not ready to serve customers. She was pretending as if i had never had a dish containing Pesto or didn't know what it was. She didn't even try to compensate or offer anything to make it. Worst service and experience ever. In the end, I had to take the dish home in a container. Please look at the pictures below what you had given and what exactly the dish should be like. Other food was average and overpriced.

Lovely food lorraine was amazing we had a family lunch and birthday she was fantastic loads of help

La carbona, a pesar de estar hecha con nata y masiva, estaba deliciosa y la margarita, eso me dicen, estaba "muy linda"!. Nuestra camarera, Sreelakshmi, era atractivo, amable, y no podía hacer lo suficiente para hacer nuestra experiencia gastronómica uno para recordar.

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.

Food is wery good i will back next time

Excellent place next to the water at Newmillerdam. We had not booked, but we were able to be offered a table for 2 with a good amount of time allowed. Good service. Food is delicious and well presented. Staff friendly, efficient and attentive.

We were dining on a Thursday at lunchtime

The service was decent, and the price not excessive, but the food was nothing to write home about. Mussels in white wine sauce were tasty, but came in a thick creamy sauce which my daughter said was a little too thick and not as mussels in white wine sauce would usually be served. My starter of chorizo and ricotta calzone was ok, but the ricotta had badly curdled and was a strange consistency - likely due to being reheated for too long as too high of a temperature. The calzone dough was too thick and very bread like. The food was edible but not brilliant.

Popped in to this cozy, nice place for oat latte and pizza. Amazing food and perfect customer service (lovely girl ; Smile 👌🏻) & reasonable price

Lack of stock, below average staff hygiene. Ok for a drink

It was a Monday so it was quiet but felt the service wasnt great and very slow, my mam had to ask for a clean wine glass three times, and my cousin waited nearly 15 minutes for his drink. There were only three tables in the entire restaurant with people on, so waiting around for food and drinks was not acceptable. The food was nice but you do get what you pay for and the wine wasn't as expected. We felt like we were being watched when it got close to closing time of 9 pm although we actually left at 8:40. Don't think we will go back.

I’ve been both for lunch and dinner on different occasions, both pre-theatre, and enjoyed both experiences very much. Friendly service in a pleasant airy space excellently sited near the Norwich market and close to most other major attractions. The Norwich Theatre Royal was less than 5 minute walk away. The food, both from the evening and lunch time menus was excellent. I’ll definitely be back again.

Food nice but some portions not quite enough. The meatballs starter could do with having a bit of bread with it. The roast potatoes as a side with the steak was very disappointing in size. The tiniest 4 potatoes, don’t think they would feed a child. When you’re paying £25 for the meal, a few more would be nice, considering how cheap potatoes are.

Fantastic place , probably the best chicken Greek salad I ever had .. waiter was super friendly .. beautiful

Disgusting raw chewy calimari food was sat out for ages before it came to us poor service rude chefs and waitresses avoid avoid avoid
