Good to know
Italian chains are a go-to for family meals and birthdays. Most set prices restaurant by restaurant, so each of our menus names the branch we checked. Set lunch menus and app offers can bring the price down, so check the deals section of each menu.
How we check prices
Every price comes from the brand’s own website, app or official PDF menu. Most UK chains set prices branch by branch, so each menu page names the branch we checked and the date. Prices in London, at airports and stations, and on delivery apps are often higher. Read our editorial policy.
