The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We went to Tony Piccante’s for a family meal, we received excellent food and a friendly, welcoming attentive service. Pizzas were made fresh.

The staff were friendly & efficient. The food was well presented & tasted good. An enjoyable evening; was just a bit draughty sitting downstairs....

Staff were lovely, prices were reasonable, venue was good and the food was great! Would highly recommend!

Service was terrible. Starting with cleaning our own table. We asked if the table could be cleaned and was told “when we get chance”. Repeat fly told they were under staffed. Ordered food, the wrong food arrived. When we enquired about it was told we weren’t going to be served due to our “attitude”. Absolutely shocked. Been going for years and never experienced this. Can only put it down to the pressure they are under.

Our dinners were excellent - Sea Bass and Carbenara. The waiter was able to change penne to tagliatelle just helpful and willing. Thank you. Kids margherita and veggie sticks wnt down well so assume were good. The place clearly welcomes the little ones and they were taken well care of whilst we had ours

Above average food, went to leave a £20 tip to be told I had already been charged a service charge. I think that should be my choice. I know I was charged less than the tip I was leaving, but I think that should be my choice.

Had a meal here with friends. I must say that for a menu so expensive, the pasta was seriously bland!

Pour un expresso c'est un expresso à l'image d'un café en Italie ! Le percolateur est impressionnant . Le service est assuré par de très jeunes gens peu qualifiés compte tenu des difficultés rencontrées par la serveuse pour séparer les blancs des jaunes d'oeufs afin de refaire de la pâte à gaufres qui d'ailleurs me fut servie avec un manque de cuisson . A leur décharge il s'agissait de la première de la journée !

We've eaten here several times and the food is consistently good. When they opened right next to mother popular Italian restaurant, we did question the wisdom but it really is in a different class. Fresh, authentic ingredients and a personal welcome.

Another great visit. First time I’ve tried Tacos. Very nicely done, you can ask for extra cheese on them. Visited on Sunday so we got 2 for £12 on their cocktails. If you haven’t already tried then you are missing out.

Used to order here all time. Treated myself recently and was so looking forward to it but the food does not have the same taste or presentation. Definitely not worth the price anymore. A real shame used to be amazing.

This is our families favourite place for deserts and ice cream. If we go for a meal we will skip desert and drive here for an ice cream, all kinds of flavours for a treat. Family favourites - Ferraro, bubble gum, mint choc chip, cookies and cream and we have one who just asks for a surprise flavour each time. This venue is always very clean and the staff are always friendly. The portions are a generous scoop so I feel we get good value. You can choose from a variety of cones and they also do the bubble waffle deserts where you add your chosen ice cream Scoop and sauces.

Io e 15 amici siamo rimasti senza cena la sera di capodanno, nonostante avessimo prenotato inizio dicembre e tre giorni prima della data della prenotazione per confermare il numero di persone. Il “proprietario” grandissimo maleducato e cafone, ha insinuato che la nostra prenotazione fosse falsa, nonostante il fatto che gli avessimo fatto vedere le chiamate. Ci ha dato dei bugiardi, falsi non ammettendo il proprio sbaglio e addirittura urlandoci contro, per non parlare dell’atteggiamento PESSIMO che ha avuto nei confronti della ragazza che ha prenotato, un atteggiamento così nessuno dovrebbe avercelo con i clienti. Personale inqualificabile, proprietario pessimo. Spero non sia successo a nessun altro. Peccato che non si possono dare 0 stelle… Grazie per averci rovinato la cena di capodanno Non ci tornerò mai in quel posto. Non è un ristorante serio ma soprattutto con personale serio

This café was across from previous my work place and I used to go there quite frequently. The food is decent, fresh and very cheap and when it comes to pasta, it definitely beats several of high end Italian restaurants in London. Prefect bite, nice sauces, great flavour and super homey.

My wife and myself went to our local restaurant on 13th March 2022 after many years of visits and found it as always beyond excellent! We started with a garlic bread pizza style; My wife had the chicken Cacciatoria which was brim full of the most tender chicken in a sauce that was to die for and with beautifully cooked vegetables. She was unable to finish her meal and at the Staff suggestion we had the remaining part of the dish boxed to take home. I ordered the 'normal' Chicken Kiev Calzone Pizza, it was huge!! the biggest I have ever had, and we have travelled a bit; the pastry casing was beautifully made and the filling heaven. I tried my best but could not eat it all...so again brought back home to eat tomorrow. The service was attentive and professional, and we noticed that they made special fuss of the children on the next table. The only sad, nay disastrous news, is that they are closing as the owner is subject to advancing years; they close after Easter this year...great sadness! we will miss it.
