Bedfordshire and the surrounding areas are some of the best places to live in the UK, with a great university and lots of amenities. Among these are plenty of Italian restaurants that are great for dates, single meals, as well as family outings. This article focuses on the Italian restaurants you should absolutely try when you visit Bedfordshire next.
Martini Ristorante Italiano
The Martini Ristorante Italiano is a family-run restaurant that prides itself on modernising classic Italian dishes for the modern palate. The food at the restaurant is so good because the restaurant sources all its ingredients from the local farmer’s market. One of the things we love about the restaurant is that they host tasting showcases every week. The chefs prepare meals from different regions, give them an Italian twist, and then present them as part of their tasting showcase. Their attractive courtyard where you can sit and eat will make you feel like you have travelled to Italy. Some favourites at the Martini Ristorante Italiano include the pate di fagato and the pappardelle al cinghiale.
Cinccchetti
If you are ever in Bedford and are looking for an authentic Italian restaurant, you should visit the Fratelli Cicchetti Italian located in the Ampthill area. The Cicchetti is a family-owned and run eatery that boasts an extensive Italian menu for the restaurant and a selection of cocktails for the lounge bar. The restaurant is open from Thursday evening until Sunday afternoon, when they only serve lunch and not dinner. Their menu includes seafood, hand-made pasta, and meats. They also have a bottomless Sunday brunch, afternoon tea and lunches. In addition to dining physically in the restaurant, you can order your meals through their website at Fratelli-italian.co.uk, where you can also find their contact information.

Fratelli Cucina Italiana is another great Italian restaurant that is owned by three brothers. It is a lively and bustling restaurant which is always busy due to the amazing food it serves. All their food is made from scratch in the restaurant, which gives it the great authentic Italian flavours it has.
