The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Great customer service by staff member called Afzaal and his colleague.

Best prawn cocktail starters and delicious sourdough pizza. Thanks to Marco and Emilio. Great service. Location outside overlooking Poole harbour is the best ever location.

Great vibes great food and our waiter Diego was lovelyyy! X

Marta was extremely welcoming, helpful and accomodating!

Great food and service. Arancini was best I'd had for a long time and Chicken Milanese was exceptional. Merlot was good value.

We really enjoyed our pizza and salad! Our server was so friendly. The music playing created a lovely Italian ambiance, as well as the great art work.

Waited 40 minutes and then walked out, didn't even get a chance to order drinks, staff didn't care either.

We had a table booked here for my daughters 21st birthday and it was a very good choice. We were sat on one of the balcony areas which overlooked the bustling bar area below. The service was very good and the food and drink were spot on! They even sang happy birthday and gave our daughter a complimentary dessert for her birthday, a nice touch. I would definitely choose this place again over one of the usual chain restaurants.

A great place with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was amazing, the team were very accommodating to the allergies in the group and very well informed. Really happy and would totally recommend!

Went there yesterday with my husband to dine. The waiter was a bit impolite, he always kept us waiting despite being only one more table in the restaurant (not a busy night). We could clearly see he was ignoring us and not paying attention when talking to us when we were waiting to order in between meals. The food was good but because of the bad service, we won't be returning to this restaurant.

The food is decent, though nothing remarkable—just what you'd expect from an Italian chain. However, the service was disappointing. It felt like the staff couldn't care less about the customers, unless perhaps you were one of their 'favorites.' When they got my order wrong, there wasn’t even a hint of an apology. This will be my last visit to Bella Italia.

This place is great for families and friends would totally recommend going for any occasion. I love going to sweet obsession it's my favourite dessert place and the only one I go too

Served by Nathan and he was lovely! Super attentive and very welcoming. Will definitely be coming back again :)

We had a group of six and when we arrived at the restaurant in the late afternoon, it was nearly empty. We had no reservation but decided to try it based upon other favorable reviews. The staff sat us in a corner near a door on a very wet & chilly Liverpool afternoon. A few of the ladies were cold and when we asked to be moved, the female employee was not receptive to our request. Smile a little, you work in the service industry. After finally being moved to a warmer part of the restaurant and ordering, the pizzas arrived completely black and burnt on the bottom of the crust. We said something to the waiter and asked him to tell the chef, but he just laughed it off as if we were joking. Another member of our group ordered the Risotto which she said was bland and dried out, almost to the point of being inedible. She only ate a very small part of it. None of us would return to this restaurant. There are too many other options in Liverpool and if the weather was better on this day we might have ended up somewhere diferent.

We both enjoyed our meals at the Gunwharf Quays location. The service was excellent and very helpful. The seating inside was comfortable and it wasn't too noisy. There was a reasonable selection on the menu including Burgers. Pizzas and Hot Dogs. Both our meals were cooked perfectly and when we settled the bill we mentioned we had a 10% discount as guests of the nearby Holiday Inn. The server got a better deal for us which was unexpected and very generous. It would be good if, post covid, a few more Frankie & Bennies opened because family diners are rare these days.
