It was our first time at Locanda Bagutta in St. Albans. Food was delicious. The menu is full of traditional Italian dishes. We had antipasto misto with focaccia, then penne pasta puttanesca, risotto allo scoglio, salmon, parmigiana di melanzane and pasta rigatoni with salmon and pistacchio, nutella cheesecake and a bottle of Pinot noir rose. Highly recommended!
Best Italian street food in St Albans. Pizza is out of this world. Atmosphere is brilliant

A nice little Italian. The food is very good and really well cooked, expect the pizza. For an Authentic Italian restaurant, the pizza is sloppy and undercooked.
I've had pizza twice, I assumed the first time was just a one off but I ordered a pizza the second time and it was the same. No crunch to the base and too much cheese.
I refuse to believe an Italian person cooks these pizzas. Someone at the table next to us said the same. I had minimal toppings too. A Margherita and a Funghi so there really isn't any excuse. The flavour was there but I would expect much much more from an authentic Italian restaurant .
Other than that, the rest of the food was incredible. The pasta dishes were some of the best I have ever had and the service was great (again, very authentic). If you feel you need to be coddled and have your hand held, you probably dont want a proper Italian restaurant . Lovely people and great food. We will continue to visit but I really wish they would make more effort to get the pizza right. Less toppings and longer in the oven.
OMG!!! What a hidden gem! Absolutely loved it! The food was out of this world, deeeelicious! The owner, Antonio, and his team, including Juliano and Michelle, we sooooo welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is perfectly tucked away in George Street, with the benefits of being able to sit outside in the quaint courtyard and enjoy the twinkling lights with a superb glass of wine (or two), finishing with a Lemoncello
An amazing night! We will be back - and in numbers!
Totally recommend
Cosy, family run restaurant tucked away off St Georges street in St Albans.
Lovely service, good food, lots of choice including vegetarian selection. Some outdoor seating as well. Great pizza and bruschettas. Lasagne had a bit too much cheese
Not the best photos, empty plates! But we couldn't help getting stuck in. I don't usually post reviews but Lasagne best I've had. Pizza amazing. Well worth a visit
Really tasty pizza and fairly priced. Good Italian vibes.
One of the best if not THE best Italian restaurant I have ever eaten in. Great staff, specifically the lady who was excellent. Thanks so much for a lovely evening!
Had a lovely meal with my family. The food and service were brilliant, thank you for a lovely afternoon.
Seriously superb delicious proper Italian food (NOT commercial like other so called 'Italian' restaurants in St Albans) This is a real hidden gem, totally worth a visit, service was delightful and the taste and freshness of the food was SUPERB - we will be back !
Very delicious pizza! 100% recommend.
