The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Lovely food and very attentive waiting staff.

Rustic-looking, relaxed and even romantic atmosphere. Excellent home-cooked-type Italian food - be it pizzas or chicken in cream sauce or steak. Excellent eggplant parmesan too. Recommended.

We ordered some ‘gluten free’ pizzas here. 2 x pizzas. 2 x gluten free garlic breads and 1 x gf pasta. It was the worst pizza take away we have ever had. We ate about 1/4 of the food and we are not fussy at all. The base was so dry and chewy and ridiculously crispy it could have taken a filling out. The topping was not even decent. I ordered 1 x tomato and 1 x cheese garlic bread and we got 2 x cheese just to top it all off. The pasta was watery and tasteless. If you are a coeliac avoid here like the plague. They have absolutely no idea at all. They didn’t even want to try to isolate the food. I was told upon ordering that the pizzas would be in a shared oven which is fine. I understand that. We get that everywhere but I asked the girl are they put on a tray and I was told yes. Then I turned up and they were literally put in with the normal pizzas on the oven floor! Absolutely no concept of wheat cross contamination at all. I asked could they be put on trays and I was told no they were already in! I was met with attitude about how the whole oven will have wheat in the air. We are aware of that but at least TRY not to have the underneath of the pizzas where cross contamination mainly takes place isolated from where the wheat pizzas have been. Had the food at least been enjoyable I wouldn’t have gone out my way to write a review but it was awful. I can think of better ways to waste £35. We couldn’t even get half way through. It was terrible. I ended up making my partner egg and chips for tea it was that bad. They seriously need to just not even get involved in the gluten free pizza game. It is not their forte. The normal pizzas look good but their GF offering is inedible. Don’t lure people in under the impression you can do it. Take it off the menu and stick to what you know or buy in the bases like dominos and put them on trays!!

The best pasta I’ve ever had! I ordered the Cappelletti al Granchio and it was amazing. Love the wood work in the restaurant as well. Would be visiting again.

Nice and clean restaurant, children friendly, so go in book a table and enjoy.

Amazing restaurant, I came here and had a margeriter. It was so yummy, I added a bit too much chilli oil but the waiter was kind and got me some milk. The shot of lemonchello had me bouncing off the walls when I got home.

This afternoon I went to casa italia and I ordered two hot chocolate. I already know this place, and as soon as I entered no greeting, no one seat you in the table, all the tables are creammed each other and the lady seated us in a small table where I was tight with someone sitting behind me, but very close to me that I barely move. So I moved to another table myself. The hot chocolate came and it was good, but not too good as the Italian hot chocolate must to be tick and the hot chocolate I had was pale and milky, but the taste was good. The price for two hot chocolate was exaggerate 8 pounds. No customer service at all, no prices displayed in the items they sell and all the tables were dirty. It is a small place. It is not difficult clean 4 small tables and if you do this job, you must have a good customer service. I work in a restaurant and I know very well the job. This was my third time in domus italia and things hasn't change. I won't come back

After 5 weeks away from being able to visit the bar, following my major surgery, it was so nice to visit again on Monday 26th February, enjoying a few beers and two large pizzas with my partner. A great atmosphere. It was nice to be back. Neil.

Really good food and excellent service no need to say anything else definitely recommend will be going back

Brilliant team working here, always good service and good coffee :)

Lovely friendly man served me lovely Canolli to take home. Lovely interaction and a pleasant first visit. Thank you. Nice place. Nice people. Nice Canolli.

I don’t know why this restaurant has ratings this high. We were excited to go to a real Italian restaurant but it turned out it wasn’t. We ordered burrata and focaccia for starters. The burrata was NOT burrata, it was Mozarella. The focaccia was thin pizza dough with herbs on it. Really thin. The pizza was doughey, and my partner ordered a mushroom pasta which looked like a Tesco meal deal dish. The waiters were nice and atmosphere was good, but I can’t give any more than 3 stars.

Friendly team, nice maximalist interiors, wonderful food at reasonable prices. Nothing negative to say at all!
