The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Not surprised this restaurant has closed. They describe their cuisine as fine dining but they obviously do not understand what fine dining is. Slow service, dreadful pizza with undercooked dough (how come they can't produce a good pizza in an Italian restaurant?), tough chicken, lukewarm vegetables. Poor choice for vegetarians.

Eddie's woodfired pizza Vegetarian Hot with a few extras 😋 🍕 Absolutely DELICIOUS! Perfect for a Friday night treat 🍺

I can see why the reviews are so mixed, we ordered a takeaway of 2 pizzas and olives with breads and one pizza was ok the other not so great, overall you could probably get a better pizza in Asda, the olives and breads were good but would expect much better with the pizza.

They muck up orders, the pizza is so thin it falls apart when picked up, deep pan would be nice, food is okay, but overall quite poor, wouldn’t recommend to be honest.

worst & cheat people specially they make relations with criminals by opening more than half a dozen companies in UK,UAE,India & Ukrain. They took advance payments and running away.

So disappointing: slow and forgetful service; tiny and undercooked dishes... Ordered two pasta and three "starters" - no pasta/main course for me, so asked for everything to be brought to the table together. Tried to bring us two lots of starters (ie. six dishes) that we had not ordered. Food did not come together; when we reminded the waitress, she said the pasta would be "another ten minutes" (so they had not yet started cooking it, I guess). Waited another 20 minutes, so by then we had finished all the starters and I sat there with nothing while my (adult) kids ate their pasta. Pasta dishes, for a main course, were absolutely tiny! And completely undercooked - and I do not mean al dente (my kid are half Italian). They were almost inedible. After that, we were continually asked about dessert but had to keep requesting a menu. My cappuccino was brought decaf, for no apparent reason. Add to this the teeny tables with slats that cutlery kept falling through; the grubby menus covered in bits of old food; and the service charge of 12.5% that is added automatically (I wouldn't have paid but my kids didn't want to make a fuss) and we will definitely not go back.

Encontré el restaurante usando Google Maps ya que necesitábamos un lugar para comer cerca de nuestro hotel. Tuvimos una comida pre teatro. Hay una mesa central que se comparte o se sienta alrededor del exterior. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir un asiento en la ventana. Un menú pequeño pero totalmente excelente , todo casero, los arincini que compartimos fue una delicia. Mi carbonara era increíble y una porción tan grande servida caliente, los canelones de mi esposa estaban deliciosos. No puedo recomendar el tiramisú lo suficiente, cremoso chocolate precioso. Junto con el fabuloso vino italiano fue un placer absoluto comer allí

Thank you so much for a lovely evening. Me and my friend dined last night and the food was first class. Each of the 3 course was superb,in particular the starter was outstanding. The wine was very tasty and was a particularly good one. All of the staff were friendly and attentive and really added to the occasion. Thank you all, we will definitely be coming back and recommending you.

Have been here often for lunch. There is quite a range of food, from focaccia, to pasta, to salads. It can be a bit pricey but you pay for quality I guess!

Very tasty pizza, great service from the lady, men are friendly too, quick service and the shop looks very clean, and great offers too

I came here with 2 of my friends, and the waiter took us to our table. we waited for well over 30 minutes and no one came to take our food or drink order, I then saw the waiter and asked if he could come and take our order, but he just ignored me and walked away, I then went to the bar to ask to speak to a manager, I told the manager we have waited some time for someone to take our order, he just surged his shoulders, so I said he no one can take our order maybe we should go elsewhere, and he said, then go elsewhere, and that is what we did, sorry, we will not be returning back

We visited Prezzo yesterday afternoon, what a disappointment from the days when they were or go to family restaurant. Firstly I have to say the service was great, hence the 3 stars, but that's where the greatness ends. Two of us had the Arancini balls, these were 3 balls, served with a bland creme francie dip, not the Calabrese ketchup on the menu. Strangely the photo in the website shows 4 balls served with the bland dip, I guess they got it half right. The balls themselves were overcooked, dry and bland, there was no unctuous risotto filling. I ordered the Beef in Chianti which should have been served with porcini mash, but I was told they only had the buttery mash, which was fine, but really, they couldn't have got mushrooms anywhere on a Saturday afternoon? Or was it that they don't actually cook anything and had run out of the big tub of porcini mash? My husband ordered the sausage and fennel Al forno, it was obvious that it had been cut from a slab of cold pasta bake and shoved in the oven with some cheese on top, it was still in a solid square, even the waitress thought is was lasagne, no attempt had been made to even spread it evenly in the dish, resulting in a stodgy block of pasta. The seasoning was terrible, the fennel was so strong it completely overpowered the entire dish, clearly nobody had tasted the slab before serving. Moving on to dessert, we were given the menu and were told that 4 choices were unavailable,at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, how could 4 deserts be unavailable when they hadn't even had their Saturday evening and Sunday lunchtime service? Our experience has made it very obvious that many of the items on the menu are bought in ready meals reheated to order with no actual chef on site to improvise when dishes run out. I don't think we'll be visiting Prezzo anytime soon, I can cook ready meals at home for a fraction of the price.

Came for lunch, the food was poor quality and we had to wait a long time as it was given to another table mistakenly first and had to be remade. Would not recommend.

First and LAST time there! Very poor service and the pizza wasn't that great AND our waiter was nowhere to be found 99% of the time! Two tables who sat after us were served their pizza before us, my husband had to ask another waiter where our pizza was because ours was chatting it up with another one like he was on his own personal time. The pizzas was ready but our useless waiter didn't bother to get them. One of the pizzas was wrong and we had to wait but that was fine because we were eating the warm one. Our useless waiter never came back to the table to ask us if we wanted additional drinks, check on the table or "how is the food".

Walking I noticed this small pizzeria characterized by a wood oven. The furniture is typical of an Italian trattoria. The staff is friendly, rapid and attentive to the customer just as you expect in Italy. The pizza is exceptional. The dough is well leavened and, therefore, light. The condiments are of excellent quality. Cooking is perfect. Excellent beer and ice cream also fully satisfies the palate. The account is adequate.
