Salvi's Mozarella Bar and Restaurant in Manchester is food heaven for lovers of Neapolitan cuisine. Combining family-friendly vibes and belly-warming comfort food makes for a relaxing dining experience with friends or the ultimate cosy date night.
Italian restaurant Onyx on Uxbridge high street is transporting you to the streets of Naples. While the region is better known for pizza, this venue is also making sure you get your fix of linguine tossed in a creamy cheese sauce and served in a parmesan wheel, as well as lobster, crab or truffle linguine.
Maremma is a top-notch fresh pasta restaurant in London. Simple and authentic cooking takes centre stage, best paired with a regional wine from the collection of bottles that have been handpicked from small producers.
Edinburgh's trendy wine bar Veeno is the ultimate date night destination; share a bottle with your other half while enjoying fresh pasta dishes from mushroom tagliatelle to a rich bolognese. You'll also find them in Reigate, Stratford-Upon-Avon and Bristol.
Prepare to satisfy your comfort food cravings with a trip to Prezzo. Spanning across the UK, from Bristol to Reading, Nottingham and beyond, expect a menu of crowd-pleasers including pasta worth drooling over. Think crab and lobster ravioli, slow-braised pork ragu, and a vegan bolognese that would leave no one complaining.
If you Google 'best pasta restaurant near me in the UK', you're likely to come across Wildwood in the search results. With plenty of sites in London, as well as Bournemouth, Cambridge, Essex and other cities, you won't have to travel far for a slurp-worthy dish. Expect a menu full of much-loved classics and cocktails to match.
No one would dispute that Padella is one of the best pasta restaurants in London. It has a small crafted menu of freshly-made seasonal dishes that are all knock-outs in their own right. The most famous is the pappardelle with slow-cooked beef shin ragu.
Circolo Popolare is taking Instagrammable interiors and Italian food to the next level, along with its sister sites Gloria, Jacuzzi and Ave Mario (known to many as the best pasta restaurant in Covent Garden). Their roster of impressive meals includes a viral carbonara that's served in a wheel of cheese.
Sugo Pasta in Glasgow is a go-to for quality Italian food. The dough is made from scratch every day before being topped with flavourful sauces, pull-apart meats and fresh seafood. And you don't need to wait for payday to visit – some of the meals are even under £10.
The best pasta in Soho? You'll find it at Pastaio. With six successful eateries in the capital, you know this is food you can trust; think whole lobster linguine, handmade squash ravioli and wild mushroom tagliatelle. Wine and cocktails are on hand to elevate the experience.
Bath's Sotto Sotto may be hard to track down, but we think any pasta-lover would agree it's well worth the search. This award-winning hideaway fronts dishes from penne alla vodka to a cheesy fettucini, showing the city's other Italian restaurants how it's done.
