L’Italiana has become one of my favourite spots in St Albans. The moment I sit down, I feel relaxed! The cozy atmosphere, the lovely hand-drawn pictures on the walls, and the nice, smiley staff always give me such a warm feeling. The homemade bread, creamy risotto and pasta are consistently delicious. You can really taste the care in every dish.
After months of long and tiring driving test training, coming here with friends to enjoy our favourite food felt like a small but meaningful celebration. I left feeling lighter, happier, and truly looked after. Highly recommend this place — a real gem in St Albans.

We were a group of girls who visited this restaurant on November 2nd, following a recommendation, and the experience exceeded all our expectations! The food was extraordinary — the portions were generous, the plates were full, and every dish was incredibly tasty. You can clearly see the chef’s skill and passion, so we send our sincere compliments!
We also want to thank the entire staff for the pleasant atmosphere, the attention to detail, and the way they made us feel truly welcomed. The service was impeccable, and the team was extremely kind and attentive.
We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! It was a perfect Sunday, and we will definitely be back!

Went to this place with family and friends who were craving for Italian, as we had heard a lot of good things about this place. We were surprised to find a table without a reservation. The place has a nice feel with a lot of character. The service was good but would have preferred it if they did not constantly try to rush us for the order. The cocktails were more syrup less alcohol. The food was very bland and lacked flavour key things to expect from good Italian. The pizza was no where what one would expect. And the place is quite pricey.

Love this place. It is located on French Row in St Albans opposite the Clock Tower. My last visit was a solo weekday lunch. Staff are welcoming, good menu selection (including vegetarian options), prompt service and tasty food. They do the best spaghetti aglio, olio e peperoncino and their tiramisu is also very good. Would recommend to book in the evening.

Been there on boxing day. Wow, so great. The waiters are super nice and funny, they are almost all italians, so they make proper Italian food. It had been a while that I didn’t enjoy such a well made pasta. The servings are generous enough and they are warm and comforting. They really smell, taste and feel like home.
We went Bach at 4 or 5 for an Italian made coffee, and they were so kind to squeeze us quickly in before the dinner booking groups arrived.
Clean and warm venue.
Ill go back for sure!

Walk pass this restaurant on Saturday, lucky enough to get a table for 3 but need to return by 1:30. If you don’t have booking chances of getting a table is very low on weekend.
Food was amazing, we enjoy all the dishes including the starters. Out of the 3 main the risotto was most impressive, it was really tasty, prawns you can tell were fresh so as the other seafood.
They also have a daily special which I definitely would try next time.
Service was excellent, staffs were very friendly, and I’m surprised that they change our plate and culinary after starters.
Strongly recommended but make sure you make a booking.

I would also like to thank the entire staff for their professionalism, kindness, and the pleasant atmosphere they create. Every member of the team contributes to a complete experience, from the warm welcome to the impeccable service.
I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great food and high-quality service. I will definitely return with pleasure!

Great Italian restaurant, serving quality dishes at a very good price. The restaurant is quaint and the staff very friendly.
We arrived without a booking and were catered for within a few minutes.
Ordered Calamari as a starter and Veal Milanese, both meals were very good. Very good value for money.
Would recommend
