The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

This is a lovely restaurant, I assume by a family. The food was wonderful and the staff very polite. Pricing of the food was spot on and reflected well with the proportions and quality of the food presented. This is a restaurant that relies on positive feedback for customers like me. And because of what I experienced it’s has to be positive. Next time I am running the Brighton marathon and stay in Steyning I will definitely go back to this lovely little restaurant.

I put a negative review here. However credit where credit is due, the restaurant reached out and we are all good. Sometimes it’s just a misunderstanding…

We chanced upon Mario's on Valentine's. We didn't have a reservation but still got a table- it was nicely busy. The food was excellent with great veggie options. Had a lovely chat to Mario who was really friendly and welcoming. And it was reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

The food was lovely. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff was kind and friendly. La Stella is a highly recommended visit. Thank you for such a lovely time.

Excellent food and great service! Would recommended.

Authentic family run restaurant with nice Italian atmosphere. Good menu all freshly cooked. This is our 3rd visit and we will be back next time we visit Southport. PS Free parking.

This is a surprisingly good Italian restaurant housed in an unassuming building, tucked away in the Forest of Dean. The service was great and every dish was delicious. Standard Italian restaurant prices. We arrived before 6pm without a reservation and by 7pm the place was almost full! Lots of dairy free options on the menu. We had bianchetti and bruschetta to start, then spaghetti bolognaise and a pizza.

A great local Italian in the former Lee Green post office. Family owned and run with a long menu (which normally starts alarm bells but in this case doesn’t!). The staff are amazing and great with kids while the food is hearty, tasty and very good value for money. Definitely recommended.

We ordered 16 takeaway pizza's including gluten free and vegan. They went down great with the team! Very tasty gluten free, so much so that left overs were taken home. Would highly recommend if you are gluten free and/or vegan. (the non gluten free/vegan pizza's were great too!)

Llevó a mi familia a conocer amigos aquí todos tuvimos diferentes entrantes y principales puedo decir que nadie estaba decepcionado mi hamburguesa era malvada y mi pareja dijo que la suya era encantadora y el personal era muy amable. Volveremos pronto gracias chicos

I really enjoyed this pizza. I ate on the pavement watching the world go by I’m the characterful Exmouth Market. Service was very nice and they are really dog friendly - dog treats, not just a water bowl! It’s a good spot.

Maravillosa comida y un servicio aún más maravilloso. Gracias por ser nuestro restaurante local favorito. Recomiendo probar de todo.

Had lunch here with three friends on August bank holiday Monday during the Sandwich Festival when the restaurant was fairly busy but not packed. We all ordered pizzas and then waited a very long time noticing that other customers who had arrived later were being served before us. One pizza arrived 25 mins after ordering and we waited another 10 minutes for the other three. All came on disposable plates with flimsy disposable wooden cutlery which proved incapable of sawing through the tough pizza base which had not been pre-cut into segments. After breaking two forks and making no impression on the pizza base with the knife I asked for metal cutlery and was informed that they had none. When I explained the problem and expressed my unhappiness the waiter shrugged his shoulders and wandered off leaving me no option but to tear my pizza into pieces with my bare hands. Thereafter no member of staff paid any attention to us and I had to go to the counter to order desserts and pay the bill. If you insist on eating here I recommend bringing your own cutlery.

Delicious food and very friendly staff! We had a fantastic time celebrating our friend’s birthday and thank you so much to the staff who made it even more special. We will visit again when we are next in Stratford!

Lovely service, amazing authentic northern Italian cuisine. I eat out in London a lot but especially trying to find good local Italian joints. just. utterly. delicious. will be going back again and again!!
