The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

What a lovely place - I received a warm welcome and was told about the special. Just a few tables outside on the pavement and I sat out and had a delicious meal, the Amatriciana was cooked to order and wow, perfection. The staff are all genuinely friendly and help greedy confused people like me to choose. I hope to be back regularly 👌

Lovely little cafe with amazing staff and the food is amazing, all homemade! Coffee is deliciously fresh aswell. I have been attending MUM CLUB on Mondays with my baby. Beth the owner is so welcoming and provides a great place for mums to feel like they’re not alone and I have made some great friends there!

Our Landlady recommended it to us when we asked about somewhere to eat Italian. Small and bijou.Great staff and the food is outstanding and reasonably priced . A must to visit would go back in a heartbeat.

So much more than just a high street cafe. I had the best home made vegan ice cream ever in there today. It is a proud authentic Italian family run business with a diverse menu and Antonella makes the majority of the items on the menu from scratch. Myself and my friend also had the most amazing vegan breakfast with extremely generous portion sizes which was reasonably priced. Definitely will be back. Xx

This restaurant is a little gem 💛 The food was absolutely beautiful! We had the chicken thigh for starters and we both have said since that we can’t stop thinking about it as it was SO good. I had the Ragu which was simply stunning and my partner had the Nduja, he was full of praise for it. Great service, and all round brilliant night! We will absolutely be back - we often travel to get a decent Italian meal, I can’t tell you how chuffed we are that we finally have one in our hometown.

Bad food discurtious staff. I will not be going to that so called restaurant again. The attitude of the staff was terrible and no manners

It's always a pleasure to go the Lemans. The staff are friendly flexible and fun to talk to. Oh....and the foods good too! I'd highly recommend a trip to Leman's its worth going just to meet the team!

Friendly owner and staff. Clean place. Had sandwich from display case and they heated it up for us. We sat and ate outside.

The best pizza ever, been here a few times now & it never disappoints! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants proper Italian pizza 😍🙌🏽

Staff are lovely , so helpful, so polite. Purchased a lasagne and frittata plus salad to take away...both absolutely perfect. Thank you!

This is amazing tasty, healthy, cosy and not too expensive place with very hospitality staff and just at the nice and easy to find area in the center of London!

Beautiful food, great service and a very cosy atmosphere. I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants in the area and would highly recommend to anyone!

Visited last night for partners birthday. Small, cosy restaurant, lovely friendly staff. My only complaint was the gorgeous food, which it was, was served all too fast. Food was served Tapas style, which meant our main courses came out whilst we were still eating our starters, all became a little chaotic. Would have liked more time to appreciate the food and savour the experience rather than trying to eat everything before it went cold. It's not as though they are rushing you out of the door, as they weren't, so why all the food at the same time .... Just relax a little Lorenzo.

We found Carlos during Covid - and the warm welcome - the amazing coffee and most importantly the incredible people mean we go back time after time. Alex, Ross and Natalie are great. They even look after our dogs so well and have always made us so welcome. The homemade pannini and the Arrancini balls are to die for and the general fresh Italian produce is a must if you’re cooking at home .. they also can recommend an excellent wine from the extensive offering. We love this place and it’s become a go too and will remain that way. Best coffee and welcome in the area.

After just moving into the area, we landed up living very close to Spitfire. We have had a few pizzas since and cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible, fresh pizza and amazing price. Thank you so much! 🍕💛
