bonbon in Ipswich

This independently-owned restaurant is well situated in the centre of town, and was very busy the evening we were there. The décor is cheerful, with a splendid oval ceiling display of flowers depicting "quattro staggione". The pizzas are generously sized (30cm/12”) and equally generously filled. We ordered four different ones: a Napoli (anchovies, capers, olives, fiordilatte), a Margherita Verace (the extras beyond a regular Margherita being baby tomatoes and parmesan), a Capricciosa (ham, mushrooms, artichoke, olives and fiordilatte), and a Bocconcini (mozzarella balls, peppers, fiordilatte, pesto and herbs). The pizza dough was excellent: being cooked in a wood-fired oven makes a significant difference, and in each case there was a generous base of tomato paste with plenty of toppings. An attractive visual touch was that each of the four plates had a different pattern. Good service too: three staff in succession apologised that the final pizza was taking longer to bring to the table than the three that had already been served. Presumably the chef accidentally missed it off the chit. We hadn’t made any fuss, and said it really didn’t matter. Nonetheless, when the bill came, the head waiter said that they would not be charging us for the late pizza. That was unexpected, and very generous, so full marks for excellent customer service. A firm recommendation for a good restaurant serving excellent pizzas.

Eaten here a few times and every time the pizza was fab. Really tasty and good value. Generous portions and piping hot. Always super friendly too. A fav for sure! 😊

Avoid this restaurant … waste of money… if you like seasoned food.. After looking at the reviews and food pictures here I thought to give this restaurant a try. The food is actually tasteless, I ordered calamari as a starter which was chewy and lacks flavour for my main I went for seafood risotto which wasn't great honestly the chief has no passion for cooking at all. At some point smoke was coming out of the kitchen that was unpleasant left us sneezing also effected my clothes. If you call this an Italian restaurant then sorry to disappoint you.. for those who never tired authentic Italian food then I would not blame you. honestly though avoid wasting your money on such tasteless food menu. Atmosphere I will give it to them is honestly cozy and simple. Service wise they were only two staff, a young lady she was nice but the other staff an older man he is something else… with such an attitude definitely lacks customer service.

restaurant stated food delivered. this was not true. I called them numerous times and was told it would be 10 minutes. arrived 1hr later and everything was cold.

Wonderful lunch on a cold May day. Great service! Great food! Great Value! Toilets very clean Also.
