The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Absolutely amazing. We were walking looking for somewhere to eat. Was greeted with a friendly smile and a lovely welcome. We chose a 2 seater table but when they saw we had quite a few things cluttering the table, they asked if we preferred a bigger table. Nothing was too much trouble. Most importantly the food was amazing. Absolutely perfect. I've never tasted anything like it. Everywhere was lovely and clean. The service made us feel like we were the only people there. Perfect end to our stay in London. Thank you

A really lovely evening spent celebrating grandson’s birthday. Delicious food and treated with kindness, patience, bully staff . Definitely family friendly

Spaghetti bolognese is a simple dish. You'd think an Italian restaurant would get it right everytime. Not BB's. Mamma mia, it was bad. Poor quality ingredients, watery, no flavour, no freshness. Appeared four minutes after ordering - what does that tell you? I wouldn't waste my money here again. Shame, because the staff, location, and atmosphere of this place are good.

Lovely staff, food and atmosphere.

Consistentemente buen restaurante amable. Buen menú y comida, puede ser un poco ruidoso, pero en algún lugar que vuelvo con frecuencia.

Maria is the best. Excellent service and pizza. The best pizza I have had in England Perfect host Maria treated us so well and food was Delishous. Thank you Maria. Thank you Angelo Pizza best in England. 10/10

Owner is rude. Threw a guest off the outside table when every table was empty because they had food from next door. Table was dirty too

As a South African I really wanted to enjoy Frego since it has SA options on the menu. Sadly the Frego smash burger is the worst burger I’ve ever eaten. The meat was either off or strange mix of meat since it tasted gamey/tangy! I took one bite and couldn’t eat any more. My wife also took a bite and agreed something wrong with the meat. The bun was chewy as if it was stale and had water splashed on it and microwaved. It’s two meat patties, red onion and a sauce, so predominantly just meat, which was awful. My son’s chicken wrap was good and wife’s salmon Poke bowl was ok. We had different staff for order, deliver and then payment. They efficiently cleared my burger, which clearly was 80% not eaten. Expected the staff to ask if there was an issue, but no comment and focussed on efficiently clearing plates. Complained at payment and the server just thanked us for the feedback. Staff are either poorly trained or don’t care!

An anniversary meal and chose what WAS a great restaurant The text sent the dat before stating that had to reply with name number and time of booking made over a week ago as it would not be confirmed till this detail was given. Welcome was not what had previously experienced there and not given a great table. Had to ask one of the four waitresses if we could order a drink 10 minutes after being sat down - wouldn’t have minded but there were only 3 other tables occupied. Ordered starter without ‘peppers’ I had to explain to the waitress what peppers were as in “bell peppers, the green, red, yellow, orange ones- bit worrying really was not asked if we had any allergies which was surprising as this is a repeated question you’re asked nowadays. After and hour of arriving for our reservation, ordering and finishing our starter the main came. My wife ordered smoked salmon and pasta, what arrived was cooked salmon in the pasta not smoked a totally different taste and flavour. I asked to check the menu and smoked was stated, we explained this to who appeared to be the head waitress, who could not comprehend the difference in cooked or smoked, no apology or explanation was given and we were only asked to reselect, lasagna was asked for. I had ordered and had a lovely veal Milanese, with salad, which I finished, my wife asked that hers now be cancelled as would not want to eat on her own as I was finished, minutes later a lasagne arrived this was duly returned and the bill asked for. Very unprofessional No apology Poor service A total and unfortunate change and a restaurant I will not voluntarily go to again Times are a changing and this is a shamefully wrong direction

Plesently surprised with the food. Watched our pizzas being prepared & then cooked. Extremly good service & value for money for a change , good size & staff happy to give a doggy bag.. will use again for certain.

Thought I’d write a review since this place wasn’t open last week when I wanted to eat there and really hope it opens again soon. I’ve been coming here for six years ever since I moved to the area with friends, my partner or even just by myself. My friends and I love it as a down to earth, independent Italian restaurant with fair prices - so hard to come by these days. Their food is great - pizza, pasta, crunchy Ceaser salad and nice house red too. I love the semi-old school decor. I threw a bday party here on a Friday evening once and service was amazing for such a large table.

I've reviewed this restaurant before but after a fantastic meal last night am reviewing it again. Usually go with the whole family but yesterday went with my husband for his birthday and we had the best burger (him beef, me chicken) with delcious truffle oil fries that we can remember! Also had fried Mozzarella and prawn and gnochi starters which were enjoyed too. Our server was very pleasant and helpful , the drinks were cold, the atmosphere was good (it was quite busy for a Tuesday evening) and service was quick. Am definitely going to return soon. I have a taste card so get the advantage of 2 for 1 midweek but if we fancy a meal at the weekend I am happy to come here and pay full price. Was looking to see why the 1 star reviews and most of them seem to date from a period around Sept/October 2021 when they maybe had staffing problems, would recommend you give it a chance if you haven't been before.

We had a delightful experience at YvTa Covent Garden. The restaurant is situated in a charming location, allowing one to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of the street performers while enjoying a beverage or a meal. We were promptly welcomed and seated by a courteous lady who made us feel most welcome, despite not having a reservation and being accompanied by our dog. The menu offered an extensive selection of dishes and drinks to choose from. Upon the arrival of our meal, we were impressed by its presentation, generous portions, and, most importantly, its delicious taste. Overall, our experience was exceptionally delightful from the beginning to the end. The staff members were incredibly welcoming and demonstrated utmost professionalism, consistently ensuring that we had the most enjoyable experience possible. Surprisingly, the restaurant is also dog-friendly, which is a commendable feature. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the YvTa, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit.

Order from prezzo from time to time mainly when there is a deal on through one of the many delivery sites. The pizza is always great quality and tasty and they have white pizza Bianco options that I really like. The garlic bread with caramelised onion is always lovely too, this said if we had to pay full price I would buy elsewhere as there are various pizza options locally. But if there is a deal and its the same price I would recommend you give it a try.

Absolutely delicious, my daughter and I had a cone and a sundae caramel and vanilla. We took the option of a vanilla macaroons aswell. Ten out of ten
