Top Best Italian Restaurants in Forest Green

"Before any trip to River Café we like to set our email status to OOO, just so we really get that full ‘I’m going away, suckers’ feeling. One of London’s most legendary restaurants, River Café serves game-changing Italian food and - surprise, surprise - has river views. You should know that this place is pretty pricey but it’s perfect for a blow-out meal in the sunshine involving things like veal taglierini and an excellent lip-smacking lemon tart."

"It may have originally been the canteen to Ruth Rogers' rather well-known architect husband's company, but this is now about as far from a works canteen as it's possible to get. Set down a leafy residential street, with gardens stretching down to the Thames, the River Cafe turns out beautiful Italian food with the best produce at an eye-watering price. You get what you pay for - it's just a question of whether you can afford the price tag."

"Ruth Rogers and the late, Rose Gray have had a profound impact on the restaurant industry in London. This leafy riverside overlook might not be the cheapest place to eat Italian food, but it’s unshakable commitment to the importance of ingredients has influenced a generation of chefs. The River Cafe alumni roster reads like the Harlem Globetrotters of food: Jamie Oliver, Theo Randall, April Bloomfield, Sam Clark, and Anna Tobias."

"Restaurants Italian Highbury. Canonbury’s star Italian has made the restaurant biz look like child’s play since day one by combining irresistible food with spot-on service and affordable prices. It’s home to some of London’s best pasta (its pappardelle with slow-cooked beef-shin ragù is a silky delight) and there’s brilliant stuff from the charcoal grill too, while a comprehensive all-Italian wine list emphasises Trullo’s calibre."

"Trullo went from restaurant to shop during lockdown and as well as selling soups, pasta, bread, booze and deli items, they’re doing a very strong line in pastries, including this carbonara swirl. It’s a frankly inspired mashup of pasta dish and pastry with some serious #yolkporn action."

"With a menu combining delicious Pizza and Pasta with a superb range of grill and speciality dishes there's something for everybody....."

"Situated on Covent Garden’s Great Queen Street, right next to Freemasons’ Hall, Margot is perfectly poised to be your next pre-show dinner spot. The brainchild of Paulo de Tarso and Nicolas Jaouën, who previously worked together at Mayfair’s glamorous Scott’s, the restaurant takes classic Italian cuisine to the next level, with a menu of elevated but unfussy pasta dishes, as well as a delicious range of fish and meat plates. Once you’ve settled in and enjoyed the complimentary bread (Margot is a serious contender for having the best focaccia in London), we recommend starting your meal with the uovo in camicia, which comes with poached eggs, asparagus and a Parmesan “foam” that, once you’ve tried, you’ll want to pour on everything."

"45 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5AAThe name ‘Margot’ conjures up several things. Gwyneth Paltrow’s iconic character in The Royal Tenenbaums; Princess Margaret’s childhood nickname; and of course, Australian bombshell actress Margot Robbie. What it doesn’t conjure up is an Italian restaurant, so it’s surprising to find one in Covent Garden of that name (the actual origins of the moniker are quite sweet – it’s named for the owner’s mother-in-law, while the sausage dog motif that runs throughout is in reference to her nickname, being a petite lady)."

"Restaurants Italian Covent Garden. If you fancy spoiling someone special with lashings of Covent Garden class, we suggest splashing some serious cash at Margot – a gloriously old-school Italian complete with a behatted doorman, a jazzy crooning soundtrack, flattering lighting and a wealth of brasserie luxe trappings. It’s all about luxuriating in sumptuous vintage glamour, aided by cosseting service, smart food and a dizzying list with more than 350 wines."

"Dine at Terra Rossa and enjoy a family-run Italian restaurant with plenty of style and flavour from the southern region of Puglia. Order one of the stone-baked pizzas and wash it down with a craft beer. Or go for a range of pasta that includes penne alla corsara and paccheri al ragu di mare while enjoying a nice glass of red wine."

"Restaurants Contemporary European Lambeth. The big attraction at this all-day diner next to the Park Plaza Waterloo is the full English with a huge fried ostrich egg (a seasonal treat that’s big enough for six people), but you can scale things down by ordering any number of different egg riffs for breakfast or lunch here. Otherwise, go for the kid-friendly flatbreads, salads, pasta, burgers and other crowd-pleasing platefuls."

"At the Florentine Restaurant in south London, customers can order a sizzling, shareable brekkie where an enormous ostrich egg takes pride of place. So enormous that it’s said to be the size of twenty-two regular chicken eggs!. On the side, you’ll get all the usual trimmings: portobello mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, streaky bacon, Cumberland sausages and baked beans."

"Enzo's is a traditional Italian restaurant located in Peascod Street and serving authentic Italian cuisine in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

"If you’re after a homely Italian, family-run, restaurant Enzo’s is your best bet. Creamy tiramisu is a sweet little crowd-pleaser and if you’re in the market for savouries there’s a nice selection of pasta and pizza (some arrive baked in a heart shape. Aww.)"

"Part of a chain that also runs Pizza Express, Zizzi offers a range of pizzas and Italian food. Based in The Oracle, the restaurant's website says Zizz is "the perfect location for a much needed break after a shopping spree in The Oracle Shopping Centre in Reading.". Reviewers said: "First time back at Zizzi’s Reading since lockdown and the service has been incredible. Amazing 3 course meal would highly recommend!" and "Always a warm welcome, the food and service were as good as always. Difficult times have not meant we received anything but the best of service and quality. Well done to all the management and staff."

Whether you’re dining on pumpkin orzo with sage butter, grilled lobster with masala butter, roast Herdwick lamb or blackcurrant Baked Alaska, you can guarantee the utmost quality.

"Enjoy the theatrical open kitchen at acclaimed Indian restaurant, Amaya, in Belgravia. Tuck into a range of seafood, meat and vegetarian food at this swish venue from the team behind Chutney Mary and Veeraswamy. Although contemporary in nature, the dishes here are cooked using traditional techniques, whether in the tandoor oven, over coals or on a hot grill plate."
