The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

The owner is just so rude (female). She has such an aggressive approach to customer service. I don’t actually understand why? I went in for breakfast and the owner was so rude to me she made me cry on Father’s Day.

We wanted to eat before a show at the Corn Hall and Puccini's was very convenient. We had read a couple of the bad reviews so we where a little concerned about the service and the and quality of the food. However the service was warm and efficient. The food was delicious. Lovely pizzas, and the seafood pasta was a big hit. Four people two courses each, beer and wine. Just under £90! It made a lovely start to our evening. Thank you Puccini's

Delicious food and friendly staff. Pleasant restaurant with nice decor. Would definitely visit again if in town vsiting the area.

Food was very tasty, atmosphere lively, and quite loud. Service was not what I'd expect for a higher priced restaurant like this. It took ages for anyone to even take an initial drinks order, even though we were sat right in front of the kitchen. No one seemed to be allocated to oversee our table so service continued to be hit and miss until Cesare got involved. He rectified the errors of his colleagues and was actually really entertaining and left us feeling that it was a fun evening. Thank you Cesare!

This is a friendly café with a real family feeling. The food is freshly prepared and well presented. Would recommend the Casa Cafe for breakfast or lunch. Whether you want a full English or something lighter or are looking for a cob for lunch or something more substantial... I highly recommend Louie's Special Omelette!

Been going to Al Fresco for years. Usually use the Whetstone one but had been here a few times and thought we'd try it again now it's reopened . I wondered if it's changed hands as didn't recognise any staff, the menu was different and there was zero atmosphere. Sadly the food was distinctly average.

I can't believe there is even one negative review regarding food on this site. Kids yes, they are a bloody nuisance everywhere especially when their parents treat the place like a childrens' playground and, unfortunately, this is an area where 'little darlings' are allowed to 'express themselves'. However, for adults... As a semi-regular, I have always considered their pizzas not just the best in Brighton but just about everywhere. This was, nevertheless, the first time I/we - there were seven of us - had been for Sunday roast. Superb is an understatement. The portions were huge - I think I must have had half a splendidly cooked cow! - while others indulged in a mixed meat roast. The accompanying vegetables were more than plentiful and, despite, being tantalised by the dessert menu, unfortunately none of us had room. Drinks prices are a little steep for an out of city centre establishment but food prices are cheap by comparison and the quality is fantastic.

Amazing sourdough pesto Parma ham and mozzarella panini lovely Italian cafe. Great service very kind. Definitely my favourite cafe in Cambridge

Nous avons découvert cette petite pizzeria lors de notre voyage à Londres et nous avons été ravis Les pizzas sont toutes succulentes et l’accueil formidable . Les prix sont très abordables Le patron nous ont même donné des adresses d’autres restaurants excellents et pas chers Je recommande vivement

The best pizza I've ever had! This is a great spot anytime of day. Brilliant desserts as well. Great beer selection. My littles love the kids corner with games and books.

Lovely little place this, been here before and it’s always a nice, quiet place to enjoy the food and drink with loved one. The one little criticism and it is little, the prices are expensive for the food but the food is good. (A guess you get what you pay for) Without the 20% off it was £130 for two of us. Which is MCR prices so make sure you go when there are offers on. Services was a little slow last night too, waiting 10-12 mins for extra bread but it was generally very good.

After travelling 25 minutes to get my daughter a waffle, I dropped her outside with plenty of time before closing time, I parked across the road near the food cabin so could see her, two in front both served, she waited in the queue for 9 minutes just to be turned away at 4 minutes past 7! Rude and the last time I’ll be spending money there. Since the new owners have taken over it’s not the same, how hard would it have been to use some emotional intelligence and shut the door and serve the people in the queue from before your shutting time.

Great restaurant that I would happily go to again. Service was more than perfect, and the waiting staff were kind, helpful, courteous and extremely efficient. Food was exceptionally good and tasted very Italian, including the vegan option. I spoke with the chef afterwards and complimented him on his cooking. If I was in Durham again, I simply wouldn't bother going anywhere else. This is a really good restaurant, with good service, good food, a wide array of drinks, and all at very reasonable prices.
