The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

We went for our works Christmas do but decided to eat off the main menu and not the Christmas one. I had rump steak, it was awful, I left half of it as I couldn't chew it or cut it for the amount of fat that was in it. Aldi steaks are better. I asked for mustard to go with it and when I checked the date on the tub it was 2 years out of date! The tiramsu I had for dessert started off nice but half way through it was tasteless and mush! Obviously frozen and defrosted! Will not be returning!

Ottimo cibo. Staff eccezionale! Cortesia e affabilità. Abbiamo cenato benissimo coccolati da Alessio. Antipasti e vino omaggio. Irrinunciabile a Londra

What a wonderful host Massimo is, he always gives you such a warm welcome and what a talented team he has front of house and in the kitchen. We were four generations at the table and the menu caters for each age group. It was hard to get past the delicious warm homemade bread with olive oil and rosemary but three baskets later we did! Fabulous food, best pasta eaten almost in silence, an extensive wine list, stylish decor, real linen and great stories too -we can’t wait to return! Thank you xx

Love this place. Always good food and service. Regular meeting place with friends. The Porchetta was delicious and the pizza huge!

Been here a couple of times and it has not disappointed at any level. The food and service are excellent. It is expensive but good of this quality isn’t cheap.

I have been away for too long. My visit this evening reminded me of the environment,the first class service and,as always the best steak in the country.Always a pleasurable experience with Massimo and his team.Thanks to you all,as ever.Ray Campsie

Excellent meal with fab wine. Went on a week night and what a delight. Service wasn’t fast but it was date night so didn’t care!

A real Osteria. You just show up ....and get fed really great food. It's a delight not to have to " choose from the menu" . Just enjoy what comes along. Which ,in our experience, is always delicious. Negroni's are good too! There are lots of places to eat "Italian food" . This is an honest and authentic restaurant that I would always rather go to. Recommended for the food and the experience.

Let's get this straight it's pretty decent pizza. Not the best , but the best in the area. The problem is the customer service or lack of. Tonight we rang every 3-4 minutes for 20 minutes as the kids wanted pizza and no one ever picked up the phone and it kept redirecting to some mobile. Now if this was the first incidence of this I could let it slide but it's happened the last three times we have tried to order and gave in.

I knew that this pub was under new management and my friend had recently been here and said the meal was good so I thought I would invite me friends for dinner, I was not disappointed, the service, food and cosiness of the pub was excellent and would return, I had to trout and crumble and it was delicious and could of done with some more custard. Freddie who took our order and served us was exceptionally professional and funny too. Only minor point is when we were going in from the back it looked like it could do with a bit of love and pretty flowers. Look forward to returning maybe in the autumn when the fire is on.

The pub was brimming and over flowing to the outside with diners when we arrived. I'd heard their roast dinners were good and thought the number of people were a testament to that. Wrong! The roast (?) potatoes weren't all golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but barely cooked and a grey colour which my knife couldn't penetrate. One of the potatoes was actually black. The parsnip was not all soft and squiggy but suffered the same lack of time in the oven, if it ever saw an oven that defied my knife slicing off a piece to taste. The pork dry, and tasteless. I didn't attempt the giant Yorkshire which obviously wasn't homemade instead looked plastic. The cackling burnt. However the side dish of cabbage and carrots and the one piece of cauliflower whilst overcooked was quite tasty hence the 2 stars I think we were perhaps one of the last diners to be served so maybe we drew the short straw. I'm not however game to try again.

Visited for Valentine Night Out, excellent food, lovely staff and nicely spaced out tables , nice not to be able to hear your neighbours conversation. Lovely staff presented me with a rose at the end of the evening, lovely gesture.

The food was absolutely delicious and the waiters were lovely! The prices were very reasonable too for the level of food and service we got. I'd recommend this place to anyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to Bellini on Saturday evening. The restaurant is very clean, comfortable and modern with a very nice atmosphere. My wife is a vegetarian and was very happy with the options available. My fresh salmon steak was delicious . The food was beautifully cooked and there was enough time between courses. The staff are very friendly and efficient. It was reasonably priced and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Ti Amo is honestly the best restaurant, which me and my family constantly return to. From the exceptional customer service, to the cosy atmosphere, to the amazing food, I cannot recommend it enough! We are always thoroughly and consistently looked after, if that means receiving a birthday cake on Ti Amo's behalf, or being tended to by their friendly, polite staff. Their food is always unreal, by far the best restaurant!!!!
