The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We have been coming to this restaurant for several years now and once again all three courses were excellent. Although the restaurant was very busy the service was friendly and efficient as usual. We’ll be back again soon!

The real deal. Authentic Neapolitan cuisine as good as any I have tasted here in the UK. The food is prepared and delivered to your table with genuine Italian passion. Fantastic food, great service, a definite must if you find yourself in the area. Ciao!

Went with family last Sat for lunch. Shown to big table on the right near the entrance by the owner who like all the staff who served us was extremely polite and helpful. The Pizzas and Meatballs with Spaghetti were absolutely fantastically cooked and so tasty and also beautifully presented. My Grandson was really looked after as well by all the staff and the kids menu had some lovely Italian options for him although he went for Chicken Nuggets and fries but wow they were cooked with gorgeous fresh chunky chicken and nothing like you would get in a fast food place. Really enjoyed our experience and great value for money.

The food here is sooo good, feels authentic and lovely interiors. Our Waiter was lovely and gave his recommendation for dessert which we loved. Support these excellent lads!

Lovely service - friendly and helpful. Really good food. Found ourselves in Bolton and tbh there aren't alot of places to choose from but this is a gem of a place. It was very busy though so book. Parking close by.

Ambiente muito confortável e um atendimento rápido, simpático e atencioso. Pedimos um vinho muito bom e o prato a especialidade da cada que é um maravilhoso Cacio & Pepe em uma certinha de parmesão. Imperdível.

Came here on Christmas Eve as always a family tradition. Food was lovely, lots of choice, service was good from a young dark haired lad who was quick to take our order, however the mature gentleman was rude to the young man on several occasions and talking down to him in front of everyone. Not a very good example being set as the young man had not done anything, he just took our order and he was told off for doing so. This was my partners first time here and he didn’t like the attitude the mature guy who I assume is the owner . We visited again on the off chance of been seated between Christmas and new year to give him the benefit of the doubt. However when we asked if they had any tables for two, again the same guy was so rude to us, shoeing us out the door saying no chance we have been booked up for months. Again my partner was disgusted by his attitude and said we won’t be returning to be spoken to in such a rude manor. Such a shame as I have been coming for years and the food is good. Also I have come with big groups of colleagues from the local hospital where I work. Maybe he would benefit from a customer care course?

Great food and very attentive service we had Carbonara's and Aglio E Olio and deserts all lovely well presented some great Bellini's as well Disappointed to see 10% service charge option on bill as would have given more if this was not there

We had a wonderful family meal at the Bridge to celebrate my parents 45th wedding anniversary. There was nothing that was too much trouble for our fantastic host, Fabio, who looked after us throughout. The food was excellent from starter to desert, the wine was superb too. Everything was reshly prepared, full of flavour and of the highest quality. I noted that some other reviews have complained about the pace or attentiveness of service; but for us the whole evening was a delight in winding back, relaxing, talking to each other and soaking in the experience. The night was capped off with some complimentary limoncello to celebrate the family celebration. We will certainly be back for more.

Vine aquí de postre con amigos recientemente de nuevo. Servicio fácil, postre de gran sabor, y el precio vale la pena por la calidad. En general, otra experiencia brillante!

Ela Bella is my absolute favourite restaurant, it’s a hidden jewel in Tonbridge. The ambiance is charming and quaint and the owner Tarik is very inviting and passionate about culinary creations. The delicious goat’s cheese and spinach puff pastry starter complemented with rose jam was heavenly. I tried one of Ela Bella’s signature dishes ‘Steak Tonbridge’ which was a symphony of flavours and exquisitely cooked to perfection, with melt in the mouth Stilton cheese and beautifully presented with a red wine jus. An unforgettable experience for food lovers!

Exceptional quality of food . Enjoyed the selection of good quality wines & champagne. The Christmas menu was excellent.

What a lovely little Italian restaurant, only a few minutes walk from our hotel. It is my husband's birthday so it was a lovely treat to eat in such a romantic place. The food was fab. Hot, plentiful portions, served by a young man (sorry didn't get his name), with attention and extremely polite. My husband had the linguine with mixed seafood and I had a vegetarian pasta which was heavenly. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area

Sela bar is fabulous venue. Amazing staff Amazing atmosphere Amazing food and amazing music. Cannot highly recommend enough....especially when Louis Louis Louis playing live. A must if you've not already!

Visited the newly revamped Medmex that has now been renamed Cloud 9 for a birthday celebration on a Thursday evening. We had a young member of our family with us and an elderly lady. Should have changed the name to Cloud Vape or Cloud Chav. A group of young adults sat drinking and vaping without caring about other customers. Felt like I was in a roudy pub in a city centre. The noise from one young woman was horrendous. Shouting and swearing at top of her voice totally spoilt our meal. We asked the young barman to intervene and he explained the proprietor wasn't in to sort it! My advice to that young barman...grow a pair! He did eventually ask them to quieten down. Young teens kept coming in off the street just to use the toilet. One of our party was sure he saw small packets exchanged in the mens loos. Not something we want our youngsters to experience. Mediocre food okay and served quickly, however, we won't be returning anytime soon unless the clientelle improves, even our teens were discusted by what they witnessed.
