The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Terrible service, stood in the middle of the venue for over half an hour to be seated. Had to set out our own cutlery and plates, food was average. Won’t be returning.

My fiancé and I visited Ballaro's on Monday evening and, while originally sitting outside, we decided to go inside because the sun was setting. Although there were plenty of customers there eating, the staff tended to us very quickly and took our drinks order, and returned with them almost immediately. We ordered a pizza to share, then my partner ordered Simone's Special Cheeseburger, and I got the seafood risotto. The pizza was great and my fiancé really enjoyed his cheeseburger, but I didn't like the seafood risotto so much. When the staff came over shortly thereafter to ask us if everything was ok, the man noticed I hadn't eaten much of the risotto and asked if I didn't like it. When I explained that I wasn't too keen on it, he told me he'd take it away, replace it with something else and cancel it from the bill. I then ordered the lasagne, which he brought to us quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We drank a few glasses of wine each, which were all really nice and well priced, and we both had a Pina Colada, which were absolutely brilliant. The food was great, but the service is what shone the most. The staff were all friendly and funny, but also incredibly attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be back there again soon.

I had a wonderful time at La Fiamma. Easily on the best Italians i’ve ever had. The beautiful view made the meal even more enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the portion sizes were generous. Highly recommend it!

I love L’ETO BUT THEIR SERVICE IS SUPER SLOW!

Had a lovely time with friends and the singing & dancing was a real treat. Food was excellent and cocktails divine! Thanks!

👌🏻Spaghetti Carbonara: It is delicious but slightly salty. 😑The staff member thought we were not regular customers or strangers, so she treated us trembling with fear and didn't say a word. It made us feel a little weird.

TERRIBLE! Wouldn’t recommend. Ordered the garlic bread Mexicano which when I called up they confirmed it was vegetarian, however when I went to eat a slice, I saw a piece of ham stuck to the back! I have been a vegetarian for 15 years and I am extremely angry! The company does not respond to emails. Will never go back to this place.

Ottimo ristorante italiano A Londra. Spaghetti al granchio buonissimi e vero caffè italiano. Parola di siciliani in giro per mondo

I recently visited here for the first time in well over a decade. I’ll be honest, I’m amazed it’s survived the national economic uncertainty in a town like Grimsby. But I was looking forward to seeing if it was as good as I remembered. It wasn’t. Inside it literally hasn’t changed since I came here in 2009. The prices of the food aren’t too bad, but the drinks are extortionate. I was served a small, half pint glass of flat coke for £3.50!!! When the pizzas and pasta arrived, it honestly tasted pre made. The pasta sauce tasted exactly like dolmio and the pizza bases were absolutely not made in the restaurant. They also use cheddar cheese on the pizza, which is just rank. After spending £50 on dinner with drinks (which, by the way was £11 for three soft drinks!) I regretted my rose tinted nostalgia and realised I should have spent my money elsewhere. I won’t be back.

I had an incredible experience at this Bella Itália ! The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Alexa, the manager, made the evening even better with her exceptional service—she was friendly, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. Highly recommend

Excellent takeaway pizza! Great deal on the half metre pizza!

The pizza is fine. They put ham in a vegetarian pasta. However they were apologetic and happy to remake it. A little bit on the pricey side for a takeaway.

We are currently at pasco's King William in Hull having a blast with bottomless brunch! Staff are friendly and welcoming, atmosphere is great and DJ had some great music. Will be coming again soon!!

Best lime and soda price I've had for ages. Place seems nice, stairs to the toilets look a bit lethal, but for the time I was there it was nice, getting nosier from 7pm. Staff were attentive, cleared up quick.

Good quality, smaller portions, reasonable service.
