The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

Very disappointing gluten free pizza. Looked and tasted like it was a supermarket frozen pizza, perfect round circle and the tomato/cheese on it looked different to my friends gluten version. Complete rip off for £16. Definitely avoid the pizzas if you are gluten free.

Une cuisine excellente les lasagnes étaient succulentes un peu surpris par les « cover charges » et le prix mais ça reste une bonne adresse

Ahhhrrrggghhh - so, so slow on service, 70 mins in and only had starter. They’re clearly cutting costs - staff - to make ends meet, but they’ve turned it into an experience we will never repeat, shake as used to be a regular place we’d come to as a family.

Went to pizza hut and the lady Angela who served us was absolutely lovely. She went above and beyond. Made the experience so much better for us. Will definitely return because of her

This was a lovely branch of Prezzo. The location was great. The staff were really helpful and attentive. We came here for an evening meal on a busy Friday night without a booking and they still managed to accommodate us

Food was tasty, though there was not a huge range of main dishes and portions were on the small side. The service was good initially then non-existent. It appeared that staff were inexperienced and mostly unsupervised. To elaborate.... Though we'd made a reservation, no-one checked it. Three different waiters tried to take our drinks and food orders, each unaware of what the others had done. The main dishes arrived quickly, after which we were abandoned We waited 45 mins after finishing the mains to order and receive desserts. No cutlery was provided and the staff were all but invisible. By the time the spoons had been brought, the ice cream accompanying the dessert had mostly melted.

Legitimately the worst pizza I have ever eaten... Granted, this food was ordered via Deliveroo however it took 3 hours to arrive... 3 hours!We ordered the pepperoni pizza, sharer garlic bread and a child's Bolognese... The pizza was burnt on one side, raw on the other and had not even been cut and the cheese tasted like plastic. The garlic bread also had not been cut and tasted like cardboard. The pasta was blatantly old and not fresh as well as being bland and overcooked. I honestly will never eat food from this restaurant ever againThe only saving grace is that we were issued a full refund...

This restaurant has switched to the European 'service charge' model. The food and service was fine but adding 12.5% to the bill (which I only noticed after paying) is a swindle we can do without in the UK. It's claimed the rip-off is optional but it is automatically added to the bill. If it were optional I would have to take an action to pay it, other forms of inertia sales are banned.What makes this even worse is that most of the money will not go to the staff, half will be wasted in tax and most of the rest used by the shareholders to achieve the statutory minimum wage.These dirty practices are not acceptable in the UK.

Absolutely appalling service, mediocre food and to top it all they had no Pinot Grigio and second choice was a waste of time they said they had go fetch some 30 minutes later two people came back with bags from Sainsburys but no Pinot Grigio , waitress kept ignoring us it took from 18:10 to 18:45 to order food. What a complete and utterly waste of time.

Service good but the menu description was deliberately deceitful. I ordered fettuccine with prosciutto and mushrooms. This came with large chunks of bacon, not prosciutto. When I pointed this out, the waitress started to how difficult it was to get prosciutto and how expensive it was. Well, no and yes. She sheepishly apologised when I paid the bill, so this was clearly deliberate. And to add insult, a 10% service charge was automatically added, though there was no mention of on the menu. So a few pence was saved by the restaurant and I'll never return.

Was very dissatisfied with how very little of the food we had. Lasagne was like having bologniese there was no pasta the price of everything was ridiculously high and overall for the whole dining experience was awful. Couldn't have that family conversation as they sat us under a speaker, which was loud. At nearly £200 we felt as a family this was disgusting. We were also disgusted that for a pint of lager was £9. Why only accept card payments? Massive change needed and a review of prices are very much needed. We will not be having a meal there anymore, and has put us off ever eating out again.

Tried this restaurant on a whim and to be honest I think I would need to go back when it is not badged up Lacoste. The food felt like tapas, courses were coning and going so intermittently that as a couple we never really ate a meal together. The best part was the strawberries and Italian baked meringue.. delicious. The rest was ordinary. As I say I think to be fair we just picked a naff collaboration

Great service , well priced tasty food, meals served by polite & happy staff. We had a table in conservatory area which was very nice.

Staff uninterested I ordered a cocktail was informed “did not have it” even though it was on menu I was choosing another and girl went didn’t come back. We ordered food signature dish of pasta and spinach balls pasta was cold spinach balls burnt when I eventually manage to speak to some one she said “ sorry and laughed. I have always enjoyed my food here but I will not be going back

Wonderful Georgian building. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Food was tasty. Great choice for Gluten free and vegan. Overall very happy!
