I've been coming to this restaurant for so many years and it never disappoints. The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. Fantastic value for money. Whether it be a special occasion or going out for a meal with family, friends or loved ones I can't recommend L'taliana highly enough you have to experience it for yourselves. Just make sure you make a reservation as it can be very busy
We are going to L'italiana from 2010 I think. ...every time you receive top service and delicious food. .....is there only place where my sons eat everything from the plate ....as soon as you get inside, you become even more hungry ������ this lovely smell of freshly prepared food. .....that's what is missing in other restaurants........
Walk pass this restaurant on Saturday, lucky enough to get a table for 3 but need to return by 1:30. If you don’t have booking chances of getting a table is very low on weekend.
Food was amazing, we enjoy all the dishes including the starters. Out of the 3 main the risotto was most impressive, it was really tasty, prawns you can tell were fresh so as the other seafood.
They also have a daily special which I definitely would try next time.
Service was excellent, staffs were very friendly, and I’m surprised that they change our plate and culinary after starters.
Strongly recommended but make sure you make a booking.
Visited L'Italiana with family and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were so welcoming upon arrival, and the service was very efficient, quick, and friendly. The decor and atmosphere of the place is really cosy, and we really liked the framed napkins with customers' drawings. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, which is on the pedestrian street. There is a wide range of food to choose from on the menu from many different types of pizza, pasta, risotto, meat and fish dishes, and many more! Everything we ordered tasted amazing, and all the portion sizes were very big. We would recommend!
What a delightful Italian restaurant with freshly prepared dishes and a specials menu. I'm guessing the pizza is amazing, because it seemed to be on every table. We however opted for fish and pasta. Both of which were delicious. It also seemed to be an extremely busy place, and we were lucky to get a table, because a little later, people were getting turned down. so perhaps a good idea to make a reservation. The menu has great choices so if you're veg/non-veg you will find something!
Have been coming here for years and it's always great fresh pizza and a cosy atmosphere. I had the garlic bread with mozzarella to start (very big portions) and the Diavolla pepperoni pizza for my main. We also ordered a salmon pasta which was quite nice, but nothing unique. On the whole, tasty and would definitely recommend if you just want good Italian food.

Entering soon after opening we were surprised to find the restaurant almost full. Though there were a couple of tables and we were shown to a small one.
I was even more surprised to find a swan being carried gracefully toward our table and placed in front of Mummy Debra! A finger bowl was also placed down for washing sticky fingers. The enticing aroma of shellfish steam into our faces as Mummy carefully undid the tin foil to reveal spaghetti with muscles, clams and prawns all in their shells. The beautiful white whine and herby liquor was delightful. Mummy wanted to lick the tin foil afterwards but I persuaded her not to!
For under nine pounds, this lunchtime special was definitely worth it.
There is a step up into the restaurant. I forgot to ask if they have a ramp. What a forgetful teddy bear I am!
We went on the spur of the moment so did not book a table. Although it was very busy they managed to find a table for us.
The menu was extensive and I had had glowing recommendations from friends but I think my wife and I chose the wrong options. It was well presented and prepared but didn't knock us out.
We would certainly go again if in the area but would choose something different.
True taste of Italy in St Albans. Best Italian restaurant in the area. Always has specials highly recommend the scallops. Calamari is always delicious. Portions are huge! Bolognaise is perfectly, the sauce is well balanced how it should be. Ferraro Roche ice cream was amazing! Staff are always kind, welcoming and helpful!
Amazing food, as always. Staff are very friendly. Service is great. Food presented well. The salad looked so pretty. Thoroughly recommended.
Excellent as always. We have a full three course meal even at lunchtime. Busy and lively but quick service. Kosta and Anna looked after us. The food and wine superb.
Good deal at lunchtime also and many customers going for a single course with the offer.
Absolutely loved L'Italiana, went there recently for lunch and I had a simple pasta that was anything but simple in terms of taste and quality - wonderful! Attentive service and warm atmosphere, can't wait to go back!
