The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Lovely food . Very polite and friendly Waiter (can’t remember his name). Clean and good atmosphere. We have been a few times and will definitely be returning.

We love going to The Ley for Friday night treat after work. A great new summer menu just been launched and the staff are always friendly and attentive

Stopped here for lunch. The service was good. I had a pizza and my wife had a burger. There was a slight issue with the cooking of my pizza. The staff came to tell us there had been an issue but they were making a new one. I thought this was a nice touch so we did not feel like we were waiting. When the food arrived it was perfect. The burger was very meaty and the pizza for lovely. Thin base good crust. Overall the meal was excellent value for money.

Lovely little restaurant which serves tasty dishes at a reasonable price. Very good portion size. Staff always friendly and attentive.

Its not closed, its just changed its name to Ristorante Amalfi. We were invited by friends. It has a wide menu and food was OK. Soup starter was actually good but main course still very average and would not return.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The food was fresh and well cooked and full of flavour. The servers were friendly and funny and great with my kids. The restaurant was very busy but the service did not suffer.

No the same brilliant experience as the Galleria. Food OK but just a now normal wine bar with food. And no real atmosphere.

We were welcomed and served straight away, staff were knowledgeable of all the wines, so friendly and professional! Food came quickly and was delicious, great lunch time special offers.

Been a few times and enjoyed it but tonight food very average , my pasta and my sister in law poor Atmosphere flat and then observed supervisor reprimanding all table staff and then having words with one of ladies on team and she in tears This is not what customers on a night out need to see, very poor Would not go back

I am so glad I stumbled upon this place as it is right up there with the best restaurants I have even been to, and I have found my new go-to place for a delicious Italian meal. I wasn't expecting much, however I was wowed by the quality of the food. So many places "do" Italian, but they do it poorly. This place does it perfectly! What sets it apart from the likes of Pizza Express and Ask is the authenticity of the place and quality of the ingredients. The tomatoes have a "tomatoiness" and intensity of flavour to them, the olive oil is spot-on, the pesto is to die for, and the mushroom pizzas cooked to perfection. I would like to thank the waitress for the kindness and thoughtfulness in recognising that I don't like noisy environments, and she placed me in a table slightly round the corner. After I'd downed a glass of Pinot Grigio I really relaxed and actually enjoyed the atmosphere. As someone on the autism spectrum, I would never have thought I would be able to go into a crowded restaurant on a football matchday / Friday night and enjoy it, but seemingly I can! Anyway if you're in central Sunderland and looking for a decent Italian meal that's a cut above the rest, you really cannot go wrong with Angelo's. I found it to be quite miraculous!

Second visit here for lunch,very pleasant and welcoming upon arrival,choice of seating which was nice as we enjoy comfortable booth seating,service was spot on and timely,and food was hot and fresh,had garlic bread with caramelised onion and cheese and calamari for starter followed by Bolognese with beef Ragu and ribeye steak and fries with garlic butter,for me beef Ragu was tasty but tasted too strong of celery and veg and not enough wine and beef stock flavour, desserts although not homemade were very good,lemon custard tart was yummy and sticky toffee pudding was satisfying with good custard,overall lovely lunch ,service was great, well worth another visit

Whilst at the beach we decided it would be nice to treat the kids to Pizza. My husband walked up to the restaurant as soon as it opened and ordered 4 takeaway pizzas. My kids are really fussy when it comes to pizza and even they agreed it was the best pizza we’ve had. Next time we will try booking a table, as my husband said it looked really nice inside.

We have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. This time the service and meals were fine. But I only give 3 stars because the place was extraordinarily noisy. Loud chatter from other diners is to be expected, but adding overly loud music made it impossible to have a normal conversation, so we ate quietly and left without desert.

I stop in luton for meeting and decide to have quickly lunch , was bad experience i order pizza with spicy w salami was rubber very disappointing the test was horrible after I eating I left and less the one hour was vomiting

Food was awful and extremely salty, tasted like I’d just gargled 9 pints of cum, service was rushed, had plates taken away before food had been finished, won’t be going again, chicken and bacon pasta bowl from a Tesco meal deal for £3 is better than the £20+ I paid for a carbonara and al forno
