The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

An authentic pub with great atmosphere and fantastic upbeat and attentive friendly staff. Great pies. One step up into the premises and one step into the toilet area for those with access issues. Good size and quality meals.

Tired and dirty interior and both pizzas we had were tasteless. Sadly a far cry from the chains salad days.

Was a little disappointed, being very honest. The food was good but did not hit the heights. Service was okay but not as warm and connecting as I’ve experienced before. Also found the acoustics difficult: it felt noisy.

Very nice food quality and taste of food memorable that makes to eat again and again

Food is always nice & usually hot but this time was luke warm to near cold & considering the delivery was early, it spoiled the food.

Our experience at Pizza Express was made exceptional by the amazing service. I got a nduja calzone and it was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor, and Matteo’s attentive, friendly presence made everything even better. Recommended, especially with kids, who just lived the menu!

this is the best takeaway place i’ve had and i’ve had a lot i mean the pizza is beautiful especially the cheese and everything there is good i’ve never ever had it bad or my order done wrong

Olivomare is an exceptional dining experience for those who appreciate fresh, high-quality seafood. Located in the heart of London, this restaurant offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with a Mediterranean flair. The menu, featuring a variety of seafood dishes, showcases both creativity and classic flavors.

My daughter and I recently dined at pizza express Solihull branch. We ordered a vegetarian pizza along with a couple of sides and drinks. When I initially took a first bite I smelt a meaty smell from the pizza so I had to stop myself and take a second look at the slice to make sure that it was actually a vegetarian pizza we were given, there was no signs of any meat in the pizza so I continued….it wasn’t until my daughter mentioned that she could also smell and taste something she described as a Smokey meaty smell and an off taste that we carefully inspected the pizza. We were both appalled upon realising that it seemed like there had been cross contamination in the process of preparing our pizza as the smell from the entire pizza was very meaty. We notified a staff member and the manager, they both denied any cross contamination had occurred. Although the manger took off the pizza from our bill, he was being rather rude about the situation. my daughter and I left the place feeling sick to our stomachs as we are vegetarian and Muslim. I would advise any vegetarian or Muslims to never eat at a place like this.

We're regulars at The Coast. Food is exceptional, every single time. Genuinely fantastic Italian food. Really friendly and helpful staff too. Sunday roasts might just be the best around. Only annoyance is the forced addition of a tip on the bill. It's up to me what I want to tip, not you.

It's like a food court in a mainland shopping mall. Wild food is OK. If you want to eat rice noodles, please bring cash. However, the employee wrote the wrong order and delayed me for half an hour.

A pleasant venue to sit outside when the weather is clement and overall the place has a nice atmosphere. Our food was good and we would’ve given a higher rating if the two items we initially ordered were served but after taking our order the waiter returned some 10 minutes later to inform us that our choice was not available and he asked us to select something else? The second negative issue was we had pre-booked a room to stay the night but my partner, who is 6 foot four, could not stand up in it due to the extremely low ceiling which was not mentioned to us beforehand. Indeed, even the Dining area had a low ceiling made worse by a selection of decorative twigs hanging from the roof of the room. A charming old building it may be, but if patrons have to negotiate low beams and ceilings, this should be mentioned at the time of booking and not discovered by customers when they have no choice but to lump it.

Twice in a week....why not? Owner reminds me of Mr Fawlty....apart from the diminishing ginger hair

Food was late and freezing because the driver went to the wrong address and failed to call my number. Phoned the restaurant and was greeted with a rude reply when I told them my food was late.

Quite simply and without exaggeration, this was the best Italian meal we ever had. Authentic Italian, the food prep and taste was just perfect. We are from Toronto and have eaten Italian in NY, many places. The service was excellent and if we could have eaten the same meal twice we would have. The location is easy to find, the decor charming and server very polite. My husband and I will be going again before we leave for home and also going to go to one of their other locations, San Carlo in Alderley Edge.
