The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Came for a family gathering in the upstairs room and wanted to say how impressed I was with the food and how attentive the staff were. I will definitely be back and if I were local would definitely ask them to cater for future events amazing. Atmosphere was also lovely

Best pizza in fleet. I ordered a cheese pizza with pepperoni as extra. One bite, everyone knows the rules! Zero flop, amazingly crisp but soft crust. Under carriage to die for. Perfect cheese to sauce ratio with a slightly spicey and salty pepperoni. Overall score 8.4 Crazy good, nothing else like it around

Excellent food, good portions, attentive staff, friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit - booking highly recommended as they are very popular.

We visited Dal Nonno for the first time and it was a surprise to see the welcoming and friendly atmosphere, considering we were also working in Italian restaurants many years ago, my husband and I, and it was always a pleasure to work in such restaurants - kind of Taverna family business. We were expecting the food to be just as recommended and as we know it, however, we were quite disappointed, because the food was tasteless. Maybe because it was a very busy night etc, but absolutely all dishes had no salt or pepper, or any condiments which add the taste to a dish. I appreciate that you may add salt and pepper to each ones taste, however, when pasta has a dull taste, it's not called authentic Italian food. The Calzone Pizza was filled with whole ham slice(s) and mozzarella ( I think), tasteless again, and texture like chewing gum. It was just as you make a sandwich, put ham and cheese, then you toast it. And it did not look like Calzone, but more like a folded pitta bread. Friendly service, a bit rushed, absolutely all tables booked and noisy indeed ( but that's just how 'tavernas' can be). Hope you can do better and good luck! Best regards

Went here for a family meal, for my husband's birthday,couldn't fault it the food,staff and service was excellent and no wait considering we were.a table of 11.

We had a great time, always great food there, not to miss if you re in Oxford!

Food and service are very good. It was a quiet night .

Gorgeous food and really good service BUT turn your heating up in the winter please! I was close to eating with my coat on…

We came here for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time as the high prices have put us off, but as it was a special occasion, we thought we'd give it a try. Given the reviews and high prices, our expectations were high. Sadly those expectations were misplaced. The food was lovely and the service was friendly. But the service was slow. Our booking was for 8pm. We didn't get our main course until just before 10pm. They said it was because they were busy. If they cannot keep up with the number of tables they have on offer then they should operate as a smaller restaurant or get more staff. Otherwise everything was nice. I just cannot fathom how they can charge so much. For that price I expect to be wowed, not just nice. Rossinis is more reasonable, food just as good, service is quicker. We would only go back if they started charging more normal prices.

Was very sad to see Topogigio restaurant go we had many years of lovely times in this establishment, fantastic food and staff , especially Laura you will be very missed , all the very best for your future and thankyou for making so many great memories love steve Karen Sophie & Hannah xx

Such lovely atmosphere and great food

Just had the pleasure of attending the inaugural Sunday lunch, it was excellent, great portion size and delicious, thankyou

Booked this pub fairly last minute for a large group on a Sunday before Christmas and not having been here before. It turned out great! The staff really looked after us, being attentive and clear but not rushing us. The food was excellent. I had the bbq ribs which were very meaty and tasty. The menu has a really wide selection. Looks like we found a little gem!

The food is gorgeous. Couple of issues with getting the order correct (veggie/meat mix up and drinks) but all sorted quickly and apologies given and removed from the bill. I cannot recommend more.
