If you're on the hunt for the best Italian restaurants in Nottingham city centre, check out Gusto. The venue fronts quite the selection of pasta, from veggie bucatini to classic lasagna. For something interactive, try the Chef's Table experience, where you can have a go at pizza-making.
Craving carbonara? Ravenous for some ravioli? Then you're certainly going to want to head to Piccolino. Located in the heart of the city centre, this Italian restaurant is home to a fabulous open kitchen, cocktail bar and an alfresco terrace, making it perfect for all occasions.
We know, we know. BrewDog might be known for its iconic craft beer selection. However, don't sleep on its wide selection of pizzas. The Italian Medallion is fab for those who like a hefty amount of nduja and buffalo mozzarella while the Pop-Up Pecorino is quite the indulgent treat for cheese lovers.
Steamed mussels? Garlic bread? Crispy calamari? Yes, yes, and yes. Sinatra's is one of the best places for Italian tapas in Nottingham, whether you're in the mood for a few plates to share or a huge spaghetti bolognese all to yourself.
The Sir John Borlase Warren might be your go-to boozer for drinks, but it also fronts a menu filled with doughy delights and toasted bruschetta. And if you're looking to get your bang for your buck, head here on Mondays for 2 pizzas for £10.
