The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We had a great dinner, food was delicious. Thoroughly recommend the hanging chicken! Waitresses very friendly and professional. Lovely decor and atmosphere- will definitely be back!

Ordered and paid for, that not was delivered, rang and asked why, " that is what you ordered" No it was not, lady on end of phone hung up.

Food was disgusting! Ordered a spaghetti carbonara, garlic bread, and hummus with pitta. The whole bag and the contents was swimming in grease, the pasta was over cooked, greasy and mushy, and the hummus was bland. I will not be ordering from here again, carbonara was not edible. Extremely disappointed

Great service, very tasty food and a fair price. Jose Pizarro's restaurant is a great place for lunch, relaxed and friendly. The staff were very helpful, efficient and obviously enjoyed their work. The menu is relatively short for tapas but that is not a problem and they are sensitive to allergies. An excellent meal and I would go back. Note to Trip Adviser - please change the title of this restaurant as it is no longer the Senate room!!!!!!

100% 0 servicio y comida yo diría que totalmente basura no recomendaría en absoluto. necesitan mucho para mejorar el servicio y la calidad de la comida todo estaba lleno de patatas no pollo, etc

rarely write reviews — in fact, I never do. But after this experience, I feel compelled to speak up, not out of spite, but from genuine disappointment and sadness. We chose this restaurant to celebrate my son’s 25th birthday with a family lunch — a special milestone, surrounded by love, conversation, and good food. But from the moment we walked through the door, we were made to feel like a burden rather than welcome guests. The waiter who greeted us looked visibly unhappy to be there, and his demeanour set a cold, uncomfortable tone for the entire experience. We had one extra guest in our party and asked, very politely, if the table could be extended so we could all sit together. We were shocked when the response was a flat refusal, and the suggestion was that one of us sit behind the rest of the group on a stool. Despite the restaurant being over 80% empty — and remaining that way throughout our visit — we were denied a simple, reasonable request on what should have been a joyful afternoon. The most disappointing part was that it had already been noted in the booking that this lunch was to celebrate my son’s birthday — but nothing was acknowledged. We didn’t even feel comfortable bringing it up on the day. The atmosphere made it difficult to suggest anything, and that’s just not how it should ever feel when dining out — especially for a special occasion. The food was average at best. The pasta, which was described as “fresh,” clearly was not. For a bill totalling over £450, we expected more — not just in terms of quality, but in hospitality, warmth, and care. We didn’t even take a group photo as it was so awkward . We just wanted to leave as soon as the food was finished. And that, to me, says it all. For me — and it always has been — when people choose your restaurant to celebrate something important, it is your duty to honour that. To provide them with warmth, service, and a memorable experience. Sadly, this place failed on every level. It didn’t just fall short as a restaurant — it failed at being a host. We walked in with excitement and left feeling disappointed and deflated. I would never return, and I say that with genuine regret, because I truly wanted this to be a lovely occasion. If you’re considering this restaurant for a special lunch — please think twice. I only wish I had read a review like this before we booked.

Reserved a table for the Monday evening, had an email reminder on the Sunday....it was closed when we arrived the following day. Very poor.

Bien cocinada comida italiana sencilla, visitamos la hora del almuerzo y las comidas de la noche y ambos eran excelentes, el personal era joven y muy amable, los precios eran muy buenos, bien vale la pena una visita.

We had a gig to attend which started at 19:00. We arrived at the restaurant at 17:00 with friends. We ordered drinks, starters and mains. One of our party asked for a Bellini. The waitress hesitated and reluctantly said yes to making the cocktail. We waited 30/40 minutes for our starters which were foccacia, king prawns, calamari and literally a plate of cheese. Two of the starters came out one by one with 5 minute intervals in between. We ordered 4 starters and it took them 10 minutes after our first starter to take them out. 20 minutes later they cleared our plates. 30 minutes go by and we chase up our main meals- staff are clueless and unapologetic. They tell us our mains will be with us soon. A waitress then comes out 10 minutes after this to say that they do not have one of the dishes we asked for. They'd have known this from the get go so why did it take them so long to let us know? Cut a long story short staff continued to lie to us about where our food was, we decided to leave. The restaurant was not busy at all and other customers were walking out. Shambolic experience. I have no idea why they have such raving reviews. Was not a good start to the evening. Avoid this establishment at all costs!

El servicio al cliente y la actitud dejan mucho que desear. Hay muchas cafeterías en Clapham. Ésta es una a la que no volveré.

Gran cliente! el lugar increíble! muy limpio no puedo esperar a volver! ¡Me encantaría verlo obtener el reconocimiento!

Average pizza ordered a margarita pizza cheese was nice but had a white sauce with a flavour (which according to my daughter-aged 13 tasted like SEA MEN!!!!) which added some much needed variation to the pizza. Although this pizza has destroyed my family as I now have many questions for my daughter I can’t fault the chef for this as she always has friends who look 60 over but she claims they are in fact 14 (different guy every time). Would recommend but can’t give more than 3 since it surged kebabs not British quisine!!!!

Ordered vegetarian pizza from this place excellent fresh tasting delivery was prompt Price was fair to other pizza places
