The Best Restaurants in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom (2025)

The Best Pizza, Amazing Atmosphere – 5/5! This place is an absolute must-visit for all pizza and Italian food lovers! The pizzeria is run by fantastic people who create a warm, family-like atmosphere – we always come back with great pleasure. As for the pizza itself, although I’ve had the chance to try it in many places, including Italy, this is by far the best I’ve ever had. The dough is simply perfect – you can tell it has been refined over a long time, making every bite a true delight. On top of that, all the ingredients are always fresh and of the highest quality, which really enhances the flavor. Before you visit, I highly recommend booking a table in advance by phone – the place is often fully booked, which only proves how popular it is. If you’re coming by car, I suggest parking at the Waitrose parking lot, just 30 seconds away from the pizzeria. To sum up – if you’re looking for delicious pizza, an amazing atmosphere, and an authentic Italian taste, there’s no better place. Definitely a 5-star experience, and I highly recommend it!

Great and very tasty pizza for affordable price! The chef could only add a little more fresh basil. Very nice and cozy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Highly recommended and we will definitely go back ;)

Such a lovely evening 😘 The staff were excellent in every way 😃 The food was delicious 😋 Worth the visit will go back for sure

What a nice little surprise that place is. I was in Berko with my six years old son and we both agreed that pizza would be a good choice. We ended up at Napoletana rather by accident but attracted by good reviews. From now on we will be back. Super friendly and helpful staff. Very clean place. Absolutely amazing pizza and ice creams. You don’t believe me? Fair. But you can believe six years old, as they are brutally honest, and my son loved it :) If I was really to moan about anything it’s the fact that place is really tiny but nothing else.

The pizza is surprisingly refreshing and light, it's the proper Italian dough we all love. Starters were ok, small portions for the price. The white house wine is definitely a palatable pairing to your meal. Chocolate dessert with almonds was rich but strangely served with single cream straight out the fridge, as in not whipped but liquid. Strange.

We went to this restaurant because of the positive reviews on Google Maps, and I would say it fully deserves its high rating. All of our food was delious that I didn't know which one was my favourite: starter bread dough was crisp on the outside and soft chewy on the inside, the margherita pizza was great (I felt like I visited Italy again), the coffee ice-cream and the mango sorbet were full of flavour. The lunch menu was good value and I would say the portion is generous. Staff were all very friendly and the restaurant was family friendly.

Lovely meal with friends. Some really tasty specials that you don’t find in your typical Indian restaurants including a lovely dessert.

We came across this restaurant several years ago. Cinnamon Lodge has become our favourite Watford Indian and we are way overdue to post this review. The selection and quality of their food is consistently of a very high standard and always spiced literally exactly as we ask for. The waiters are friendly but respectful, not overly-familiar, just as it should be. The proprietor is a great guy and keen for feedback. Also, he regularly tries out new dishes and we love that. Prices are reasonable for both food and drink; the wines are great, including some lovely organic choices. There are lots of reasons we keep going back...

We had delicious food. However I was sweating inside so defo lower heating. Service was fine just didn’t look happy at points but they always made sure we had everything. Pudding was yum too

Have been coming here for well over a decade, it’s great to see the new owners have once again made it a huge success in the village. The refit looks fantastic and “Insta ready” for the modern age. New menu items of homemade samosas and chicken 65 are excellent and unique in the area. Service is very very good, special thank you to Selim and colleagues for the memorable photos and birthday cake :)

Fantastic evening walked in without a booking and was taken care of. Service was exceptional, Louis was lovely loved her enthusiasm and knowledge on the food and full menu. Great wine, food was the best we have had in a long time could not fault it. We opted for the bar table and was not disappointed had a lovely window into the kitchen where the atmosphere was harmonious. 10 out of 10, we have recently moved to Baldock and will definitely be showing this restaurant off to our friends when they visit. Thank you for a lovely evening we will definitely be recommending!

Returned on Friday 2025 to absolute delight of small plates, we had a great evening. Better than London it’s so good. Food is amazing the flavours of the dishes were brilliant, cocktails made are spot on. If you have not been then this place is worth the visit though you best plan ahead as always fully booked. Inside is very pretty and classy, the service is really good to high standards I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Stylish and cozy interior. Food was perfect; I would highly recommend the Dauphinoise. Very much enjoyed the seating being able to watch the chef’s put together the tasty dishes too. Well worth the money.

Chez Burton is a true gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re welcomed with warmth and impeccable service that instantly sets the tone for the evening. The staff are not only attentive, but genuinely passionate about making every guest feel special. The cocktails here are nothing short of spectacular—expertly crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic with a twist or something daringly innovative, Chez Burton’s mixologists never disappoint. Each sip is a testament to their skill, making it impossible not to come back for more. Highly recommended! 🍸✨

I had a takeaway from here and so impressed! Really good food, very generous portion sizes, fresh, lots of vegetarian options and arrived hot. Highly recommend.

Ordered from here last night for the first time as been struggling to get a good takeaway. The reviews looked great so thought will try it. The reviews are bang on. Really friendly man on the phone when I ordered. All came piping hot, really good sized portions, reasonably priced. All absolutely excellent. Will definitely be ordering from here again. Thank you

We’ve been ordering food from Village Tandoori in Abbots Langley for years, and it’s hands down the best Indian food in the area! The dishes are always delicious, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with care and passion. The service is exceptional, and I’d especially like to thank the owner, Ali, who goes above and beyond to ensure every meal is perfect. He always asks if everything was enjoyable, which shows how much he genuinely cares about his customers. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic Indian cuisine!

The food was excellent. Portions are large, and there is good attention to detail and making sandwiches (not dry, not soggy, good seasoning). We had a Ruben (which was great), the pulled pork (which was massive), halloumi fries (crispy outside, well season, soft inside, not chewy), and the mac & cheese (could have been more seasoned and creamy). Well worth grabbing lunch here.

We have only ever had delivery but it is always amazing. Our favourites are the breakfast Quesadilla & the Ruben Sandwich. Always fresh, hot & full of flavour. Our absolute favourite for a lazy (on our part) delivered meal. Excellent value too.

Cracking burger, great selection of sauces. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Ended up getting some unplanned fish and chips from here today. Food was really good. Was served by a lad with long hair (didn't get his name) but the level of service he gave was 10/10! Really lovely lad and definitely made my experience as a customer that much better!

Lovely fish and chips, really fresh and tasty. The staff were very friendly and was only a 5 minute wait for the meal. Would definitely visit again and recommend

Very friendly staff. Quick food. Good menu selection for all ages (kids menu, senior special). Extremely clean. Baldock services has a large open space with a nice buzz to sit and eat or, if you're local, (like me), you can get your food to takeaway, when no other local chippies are open on a Sunday night!

So my family has been talking about osteria for months now, about how great the service was, the portion sizes and the price. I partially took this as they don't get out much I'm sure it's not that good. So off we all went for a meal a couple of weeks ago and I have to say I was really impressed and agree with all my comments above. Service these days is pretty mediocre after COVID however they were on point the whole evening. A highlight was the limonchello shots which were complimentary! You don't see this from restaurants anymore. Keep up with the amazing food and hospitality. I will be back very soon.

This has turned into one of our favourite lunch spots...the restaurant has beautiful decor, a menu with lots of variety, friendly staff who go above and beyond, delicious food and the tastiest home made desserts, not forgetting the most amazing strawberry daiquiris!! Would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!

An incredible dining experience at Osteria! The food was perfect. Great ambiance, attentive service, and every dish was full of flavor. Highly recommend! Pictures are of the starters we ordered!

Nice restaurant with a lovely atmosphere and exemplary service. The food was just good enough, but the selection was a bit lacking for vegetarians.

Really excellent sandwiches and the owner is a great bloke. A favourite for us if we're buying lunch out.

Best sandwiches ever and so so fresh. Gets me through the day. Rupert the owner is lovely.

This is an amazing place to get a quick bite to eat. Very friendly service and there is a large range of toppings and bread to choose from. I agree with other reviews that say here is where you can get one of the best sandwiches you will ever have.

Ordered the deluxe £11 per head picnic buffet. Was delighted with the quality, variety and quantity. Highly recommended

We had a Sunday lunch at eight. My wife and son had the Sunday roast pork which they were a little underwhelmed by. I had cauliflower fritters which were amazing but really needed some sides. They then enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding which was amazing. It was a nice place, really comfy chairs but probably not somewhere we'll go again.

Amazing food and very welcoming friendly staff. Highly recommend lamb ribs starter. Would eat it 10 times over 😍

Had an absolutely wonderful Sunday lunch today! Delicious and fantastic portion sizes, just the right amount. For mains we had roast beef, lamb and cauliflower. And desserts we had rhubarb posset, affogato, sticky pudding and sticky sundae. The service and staff were excellent and attentive. It's very cosy and personal too. Highly recommend going to Eight!

This is my partner and I local favourite spot, especially for date night. And this is the best kitchen you will find for gluten free and intolerance accommodation. The staff are great and the supper clubs are a must try. If you want a more relaxing sophisticated night with a loved one, family, friends but still an atmosphere and buzz without large crowds this is the place for you.
