Pircio Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

Pircio was an unforgettable experience! The chicken sheesh was the best I’ve ever had, and everything else, including the chocolate fudge cake, was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the personal happy birthday singing made the evening extra special. Highly recommend!

This is the third time we’ve been back now - what a great place! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great but what makes this place is the staff. We were lucky enough to be served by Lucas last night and what a great asset he is to the team. He remembered who ordered what dish, nothing was too much hassle, he questioned a drink choice when a different beer was asked for in error so thanks to him we got the right drink and he even wished us a nice holiday when we left that we mentioned once not long after we sat down. Super impressed and cannot wait to come back. Thank you.

The Italian food in this restaurant is mediocre but the Turkish food looked brilliant. If I return, I’ll try that part of the menu!

My favourite place to go banging foods and banging music

Flew in from RSA to celebrate my 80th birthday with my family. Best experience ever..

First time visiting area and food was very good.

Popped in for dinner and fortunately was quite quiet. Service was good and very attentive. Food was excellent opted for the mixed grill x2 which could probably feed 4 people. Price i think is fair for quality and quantity. Also was given complimentary Turkish delight and brakhavk as well as Turkish tea. Would definitely go back again, maybe order less next time as not a fan of wasting food.

Good food good service good atmosphere. The only thing I don't like is the service charge added automatically to the final bill. I like to pay what I believe is fair. If the food was rubbish, I'd be pretty peed to leave a tip if the meal didn't warrant it. Lucky for me, the food was great. I know I don't have to pay, but I wouldn't embarrass myself or my family.. However, it was a nice evening, thank you.

Been here multiple times now, food, drinks & service is always top notch! Really enjoyed our food and the cocktails too, will be returning many more times for sure

Meltem made the best experience she gave the best service thank you so much!

Great service and atmosphere, food was very tasty and fresh. Definitely going back soon.

Average taste for a Turkish restaurant. no treats. We even bought the bread after asking.

Fantastic for a fun time with friends and family. We get a takeaway regularly from this restaurant. The staff are very attentive. The food is always good 👍

STUNNING interior, I have never been in a more beautiful restaurant. Amazing service, and the food is incredible quality for the price. Coming back every chance I get.

Delicious food as always, very attentive and polite waiters and a lovely environment. Just a bit too loud when full

This is a fantastic restaurant. The food is excellent; so much to choose from either side of the menu (one side Turkish, the other Italian). The staff are very professional welcoming, and the service is so fast. We were surprised how quickly drinks and food came! I'd recommend booking a table, as it seems to be a popular place. We will definitely be back!

Really good, lively restaurant. Friendly service, decent food.

Great place amazing surroundings. Fantastic choice of food, which was served lovely and hot and very tasty. Great choice of cocktails and drinks. Lots of staff to help with all enquires. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

Been coming here for many years always good food at a realistic price,service has always been faultless

I used to love Pircio and it's great if you want a cheesy night out with the singing birthday and hat that get passed around but the food really isn't that great. I have eaten here a few times and I'm not blown away, there are so many lovely places to eat in town!

There for my birthday. You cannot fault the food and service, absolutely love it here.

The whole experience was amazing, the food and staff was exceptional! Love this place!!!

Service and food is excellent but man is it loud in there 🤣

The happy birthday thing gets annoying quickly.

Great choice of food and excellent service. Definitely recommend

It's a really nice place to eat and the food I'd great.

Not happy to be turned out and had to work out the bill outside .not told we had a 2 hour slot .12 of us double birthdays .would not go there again .sad because the food was excellent .

Delicious kebab and beer, I recommend it.

Very busy but attentative staff and delicious food.

This place is gorgeous, the ambiance, the food, overall a great experience ✔️Would definitely recommend.

Little gem 1st time coming here for my brother in laws birthday will definitely return food service atmosphere was lovely.

Lovely interior but food v average for the money.

Great experience, helpful attentive staff and amazing food and ambience 👍

A stunning venue with great food and friendly, attentive waiting staff. My son has allergies and the waiter was very cautious in checking with the kitchen ahead of ordering and explaining potential allergens. Will be back again!

Second to none in Bishops Stortford and greater area. The best staff I ever saw in a restaurant

Not only is the food delicious but the place looks amazing. A great evening.

Wooow, it is a different level that others can't even dream about. This is what I call vision gourmet.

Well, dinning at Pircio felt like being on a Hollywood movie set, just perfect! Food was delicious and I appreciate the generosity. Staff were kind and well spoken they served our food quicker than I expected. Definitely dinning at Pircio’s again

The food was delicious, the staff was lovely and their service was excellent. We had a really nice time!!

The place is stunning, unfortunately too many Happy Birthday singing were going on. Service was professional and friendly. The food could be a bit better. Starter plate was pretty good, but lamb beyti so so. Small portions and meat were a bit chewy. Not bad, but not perfect. Sorry.

Great atmosphere and great service

Fantastic service and excellent food...

Lovely food & lovely staff. Fantastic service All around! Thank you!!

We were in Pircio yesterday evening. Really buzzing. Food was excellent. Lukas was very attentive and efficient. We were passing through otherwise we would definitely be back.

Beautiful setting, both inside and out. Plenty of parking within a short walking distance. Huge menu selection - mainly Italian and Turkish. The portion sizes were good and the food was OK, but a tad overpriced. The kids menu options would be better if they included some veg. Skewered chicken was very dry. A bit of quiet, backround music would have helped improve the atmosphere outside. Far too many staff for the number of customers on the day, yet the service was still questionable, unfortunately. The wine was served with cork floating in it. One of the dishes we ordered should have been "on a bed of tiny fried potatoes", but just came with chips. Nobody asked if our meal was OK or if we needed anything else after serving us. 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill - always find that a bit presumptuous/cheeky, especially when the service wasn't great. Overall, 3 out of 5 at best. Could be a really great place with a few tweaks. Maybe we just got a bit unlucky on the day.

Another amazing evening at Pircio. All very attentive staff, great service. Food was amazing as always. I can't rate it highly enough. Look forward to our next visit.

Great atmosphere, great food and drink, along with a really friendly service. I recommend a visit. Enjoy! 👍

The service was really excellent. The food was really really good too. The pina colada was very well made with cream which meant it wasn't watery. Even though it was busy it still seemed private where we were sitting. The fudge chocolate cake reminded me of Bruce in Matilda and it tasted great.

Great food and service excellent can't recommend it enough

Everyone working was very caring and polite, the food was incredibly delicious. I definitely recommend you to come

The staff were incredible today, our son is 1 years old and loves people making a fuss of him and that’s exactly what the staff did. It was so lovelly. The waiters were incredible, playing games with him, taking him around the garden, just so good! Greta place for families

Had a great evening, food was lovely.

It felt like we were on holiday! Lovely...

The restaurant definitively has a bulletproof reputation of friendliness, high quality food and speed of service, even in busy days. Fantastic the choreography for birthdays. But at high prices, including the 12.5% service charge. Very impressed with the Full Meze, much less with the Cottage Kebab. Next time I will explore other alternatives in Bishops Stortford.

From start to finish made to feel welcome - very accommodating for a wheel chair user and excellent food. Great family owned restaurant who are doing wonders for the Bishop’s Stortford hospitality sector and local jobs.!!

I have been eating from pircio restaurant a year now they are the best in bishops stortford the food is so so delicious and good .. the staff are nice and helpful(specially neema).. the atmosphere in the restaurant is great i love pircio ❤️❤️ they’re the best ..

Used to be a really slick place. Food is a bit bland now. It gets very noisy on weekends with lots of birthdays. Service has gone downhill (and they try to charge you for it regardless of your experience). Had a waiter take the wrong drinks order, got told it was my fault, eventually got a replacement drink but it was the same original drink in a different glass 🤯. The Hertford sister restaurant is a better experience currently.

Cocktails and food amazing in this place. Also the service is impeccable!! Always a good mood and nice environment! 🍾🍾💕☀️ Taste their frozen Melon 🍉 🍈 cocktails 🍹 mind blowing.

I love Pircio and went there to celebrate my 60th with friends and family. Great Mediterranean and Turkish food, great service and great atmosphere. Be prepared to wear the Birthday hat 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely amazing atmosphere! Birthdays are the best here! Make sure you're sat in Lucas' (sorry if that's spelt wrong) section, absolutely amazing service 🙌🙌

Food was superb staff were excellent lovely place to go and eat👌👌

Great service but please!!! Tell your chef not to Over salt the food !!! Very salty My blood pressure was over the roof!! And all my guests were thirty all night It not good! It’s even illegal.

Such a beautiful restaurant! The service providers are really respectful. The food is outstanding it is very delicious, the foods selection is between Italian and Turkish dishes .

Really lovely place food was good, not the best I’ve had but good, service was fantastic. Was a tad pricey but overall 👍

Supposed to be Italian, turned out to be a Turkish Restaurant with Turkish Chef’s??? Why call it an Italian then? Food was awful. I would avoid at all cost, unless you’re happy to chew on rubbish and spend £40+

Fantastic meal, great atmosphere. Waiting staff so welcoming and accommodating. Wonderful afternoon

First time coming here and would definitely come back again. Food was delicious. Service was great and the decor and atmosphere was perfect.

A Great place to celebrate with friends & family! So much food to choose from & fantastic service! Highly recommend.

I came here with 2 friends, we hadn't booked but the staff said no problem and gave us a table outside as they were busy so no tables inside at the time. The menu has plenty of choice, and they also have a vegan and vegetarian menu which I was really pleased about as a vegan. I was interested to try the vegan Turkish boat pide as I hadn't heard of this before, it was very tasty, containing what appears to be vegan cream cheese and accompanied with a side salad. I had the vegan platter alongside this which included 2 falafels, hummus, stuffed vine leaves, olives and a selection of salad/veggies in tomato sauce and a basket of bread. I definitely ordered to much as just one platter/pide would have been enough. The service was fantastic with staff regularly checking in to ensure the food was good. Would recommend!

Lovely restaurant. Mix of Turkish and Italian. Dinner with friends. We were able to talk easily even with a little noise going on. Would recommend.

Nice food and good service. Don't go there if you want a quiet dinner, it is busy and there is plenty of background noise.

Great restaurant, with a good selection of Italian and Turkish dishes. Had a great dinner with friends at Pircio! The food was great, atmosphere was fantastic with staff who were very welcoming, helpful and friendly.Can’t wait to back there and try some more delicious food 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

The food was great and the service excellent. Very friendly people with a very pleasant sense of humor. Thank you so much

All awesome. Extraordinary food and service. Good vibes.

Food was excellent service was good

We came here by mistake and well, it was the best mistake we ever made ! The staff is lovely, the food is excellent and reasonably priced and the place is wonderful: quiet, nicely decorated etc etc. I think everybody should try going here !

I can't give less than one star. that's why I put one star. They took my money and after that they don't answer my calls. I do not recommend it to anyone.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service ❤️

Very good and considerate of my allergy and made sure no food was contaminated.

Food was nice, nothing amazing but nice. Service was weird. I asked for a vegan menu and the waiter literally went to take the regular menu out of my hand. I said I wanted to look at both and he visibly made a face at me and shook his head. Then when it came to ordering I ordered some seabass and a side from the vegan menu and which point he actually started laughing in my face. I have an intolerance to milk and only eat fish, I work in a top restaurant in central London so I know how to navigate a menu and like to take the stress away from the servers when I go out. This guy was just patronising and it made me feel really uncomfortable, I was with my family celebrating my brothers birthday too. I look young for my age but I’m a 30 year old woman and I truly believe the waiter would have not acted in this way had I been an old white man. Never in my life at nice restaurants have I been laughed at in my face by a waiter. It’s really put me off coming back which is a shame as it’s a lovely location. But I think I’ll stick to dining out in London where people are a little less ignorant.

One of the waiters were teaching us fun ways to fold napkins, great service, very joke around waiters which I like very much. Highly recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Its a big restaurant with a choice of Turkish or Italian food. A very popular place and one of those places where the staff start off and encourage whooping, clapping and singing for anyone who has a celebration. If you enjoy the 'drunken stag night' type of atmosphere you'll love it.

Great from start to finish...lovely decor the staff were brilliant being both attentive and patient giving good tips on not over ordering as the portions are ample. Food didn't disappoint and they even gave a separate gluten free menu! We had a great time for my friends birthday, the staff all clap and sing happy birthday separately for each customer celebrating ...whatever the celebration. Great

Amazing food and lovely servers

Lovely place, lovely atmosphere, great evening! Fast service

Food was so good I love the pasta and the chicken and the ice cream and the orange juice and the bread

Delightful location for lunch/dinner, menu a fusion of Italian/Turkish, food consistently good, staff attentive, decor eclectic. I will return.

Fantastic 50th birthday celebration

Lovely place and FOOD amazing staff . Thanks to make my birthday so special . I enjoy a lot in PIRCIO . ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent food and service. We visited this restaurant for a birthday dinner and were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. The food and service were both excellent. The restaurant is quite big with plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors. I can see it getting quite busy here on the weekends or in the summer when the outside seating is available. Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend this place. We will be returning soon.

Amazing service from the staff, thanks a lot. They made my mums birthday very nice and special. The food was nice too. Thanks again

Food was amazing and the service 10 stars. Thanks.. My family had a great time, and my aunt had a very special birthday celebration

Lovely place and food excellent service 🥂

Its a lovely place with good food and I have been a number of times without intolerances/allergies. However, as I have a child with dairy and soy intolerance, this time I had a restricted menu which is fine, but the lack of understanding of allergies is a concern. I was rudely told by the waiter there “maam, in giving u dairy free, gluten free, everthing free” in a rude manner after I questioned to double check allergens especially soya. I was given an allergen menu initially which was good but i felt they were annoyed by my request even if it wasn’t too busy (the bread was not checked).

Amazing food, great atmosphere!

Great environment, food and friendly staff.

This place is just amazing!!!!!!!!! I’m having a great time with my friends here for dinner. The food is amazingly tasty. Service is absolutely hospitable. Will drop in shortly!!!!

Pircio and its staff are simply exceptional! From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, every moment spent here is a delight. The staff's professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care create an atmosphere that's both inviting and memorable. Whether it's the delicious cuisine or the cozy ambiance, Pircio and its team exceed all expectations, making every visit an unforgettable experience.

Made us all feel so welcomed and had a wonderful dinner! thank you so much! My friend has such a wonderful birthday with you all!

An enjoyable experience for a family birthday. They have a special thing they do around birthdays and lots of dinners were getting involved. Not everyone likes that, but it adds to a lively atmosphere. Hard to have a good intimate chat though. There were lots of gluten free options.
