The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

One of the best restaurants I have been to in a while! Food was incredible and was served quickly. Will definitely be going back.

Service Sannija was very polite and served us well

Enjoyed lunch here, very reasonable priced set menu. Gamberoni and cookie dough were delicious. Will definitely be back on my next shopping trip in Birmingham.

Apparently you can’t order PLAIN PASTA for a toddler in ask ITALIAN. also we turned up slightly early and couldn’t go in for a drink before even though there was 20 free tables. My mums pasta came and it was as dry as a bone. Can’t fault the staff they were great. Not their fault. Just a few ridiculous moments

We were celebrating 50 years of nursing in Queen Elizabeth Birmingham and chose Carluccio's for around 18 of us who could attend. Daniel and Cyprian (managers) helped us with our reservation and wonderful dining experience. The table was well prepared beforehand and our choices (previously sent) came out very quickly and superbly presented. Daniel managed to get all drinks required and all meals out so we could eat together. Excellent ! Happy days! Thanks to all staff involved.

Protagonist of the fourth episode of the web series "The Lady" by Lory del Santo. There are no longer the waiters of the past, but the Amarone is essential.

Ordered four roasts, which were incorrectly charged. The server then printed off a incorrect bill and told us she had other customers to deal with. Took 45 minutes for our food, which was then wrong. The server then didn’t seem too concerned that they’d managed to serve a roast dinner without any roast potatoes. We were offered potatoes, then told that they wouldn’t be ready in time, then told they would be ready in time (they never turned up). Much better places in Portsmouth more deserving of your money for both the quality of food, services and general pleasantness

I had a daddy and daughter lunch with my 3 year old. The staff were amazing and the food was incredible. They went above and beyond and the prices are good.

Very accommodating for 10 hungry ladies who hadn't pre-booked for an afternoon meal before catching a train back to Lancashire. We had a lovely friendly waitress from the Ukraine who somehow remembered all of our drinks order without writing anything down. Food was excellent and we didn't have to wait too long. Excellent choice on GF menu and I had a very tasty GF pizza. Couldn't fault the meal or service. It was a good way to end our weekend in London 👍

Lili our waitress was amazing! We arrived after a long day of flying from the US and were so hungry. Instead of just eating to eat Lili made our dinner and experience. Food flavor was on point.

This restaurant is a convenient way to spend time if you have a long wait for your train. As a displacement activity it's probably more cost effective than eating multiple fast food options standing or sitting in the over-crowded concourse. However the food quality is perfunctory as is the service, but then, there's unlikely to be repeat business. I was a woman on my own and as is often the case they parked me next to the wall by the toilet, so I moved to a more central location. By the way, if you have to wait, the seating area in this part of the station is very quiet - no-one seems to know about it.

What a service! We were a group larger than the existing table layout allowed, but there were no issues pulling the tables together to accommodate us. Furthermore, some of us had specific dietary requirements, which were met to a T (gluten-free and diary-free pizza, anyone? No problem!). Our server was Pedro, who provided top quality customer service, professional, but with a smile, a jest and a gesture (he offered to take a photo of our party, which we gladly availed of). Thanks for a lovely afternoon, Pedro, we had a great time and the food was delicious.

Now trading as Cintra.. OK food, but very expensive for what was on offer. We eat out on a regular basis, we wouldn't be tempted back here any time soon. Nice location looking over the harbour

Beautifully vibrant restaurant. Food was delicious. I really enjoyed this evening. Thank you so much to all the staff. Nothing was too much

I had left it too late to book a table so I entered the restaurant last minute praying that they could find us a table for 5. We were lucky and were shown to what must’ve been the last available table as the place was filling fast - always a promising sign! The staff were amazing and the food was fabulous. I had my usual Italian dish of calves liver with sage which didn’t disappoint at all! So tasty! The Linguine Ai Frutti Di Mare was similarly superb and a taste of their tiramisu for dessert highlighted that the whole menu is clearly top notch and at a price that would put a smile on anyone’s face! We loved it and as it’s just a 5 min walk from my home it was an amazing surprise to find such a gem on my doorstep. This is traditional Italian family cuisine at its very best and the staff certainly made you feel part of that family. Veramente stupendo! I will definitely be back!
