Most Popular Italian food in Buxton, England, United Kingdom
Reviews on Italian food in Buxton, England, United Kingdom. Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire, in the East Midlands region of England. It has the highest elevation – about 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level – of any market town in England. Close to the county boundary with Cheshire to the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is described as "the gateway to the Peak District National Park". A municipal borough until 1974, Buxton was then merged with other localities lying primarily to the north, including Glossop, to form the local government district and borough of High Peak within the county of Derbyshire. Despite being in the East Midlands, economically Buxton is within the sphere of influence of Greater Manchester. The population of the town was 22,115 at the 2011 Census.

We are definitely not ones to complain, but our experience at this Pizza Express was extremely disappointing. The service was dreadful. We are arrived at 5.45 p.m., it was not busy, but we did not receive our starters until 6.20 in spite of ordering almost as soon as we arrived. The problem was we had tickets for the Opera House and time was ticking by. We twice asked how long our main course would be. Finally we gave an ultimatum that if it didn't arrive in the next two minutes we would have to leave and cancel our order. It finally came at 6.55. What we couldn't understand was that other people who arrived well after us were served much more quickly. Indeed one couple had a full meal and departed before we had even started.The next problem was that one of the dishes was virtually inedible. It was spaghetti bolognese and it was burnt. We pointed this out to the manager, who did at least apologise and offered to do another dish, but by this time it was it was much too late so my partner shared my dish and we departed having had £10 knocked off the bill. We won't be returning. that's for sure.

Went for an early evening end of year meal with colleagues/friends. Waitress couldnât have been better. Food was plentiful and good. We have missed a good Italian since carriages changed hands. This is a good replacement.

Visiting area so after reading menu it appeared the better choice of what was available on a Sunday night. Partner and myself ordered a pizza each plus garlic, tomato, onion bread and two soft drinks. The paper napkin came in handy for me when I had spit the garlic bread out - tasted disgusting and partner didnt eat more than the first slice. Both couldn't finish our pizzas because they were just terrible. We joked that they'd come from Iceland in the one pound aisle! Decor drab & dated. Wasted £30 but our fault as should've read reviews first. Stay well clear!
