Mother’s Day. Most restaurants celebrate mums with a glass of fizz…small chocolate or maybe even a desert. Not Prezzo. They mark this day with a boring set menu, miserable staff (all except one) and an extortionate £8 for a 125ml glass of Prosecco!! Then have the absolute bare cheek to add £20 to the bill for a service charge! A long drawn out lunch in a quiet restaurant mainly due to bored looking staff wandering around with zero interest in the paying customers. When I asked after 20 minutes of waiting if there was any chance our empty starter dishes could be taken away I got the look of death from the waitress. Like I was the inconvenience! Naturally the £20 service charge was removed upon our request but it was treated like they were doing us a favour 🤦‍♀️ And the bill was still £200. Uninspiring, mediocre food. Bored, borderline rude staff. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else that deserves your custom and your tip.

We didn’t actually get to eat at Prezzo Torquay—though we did get the full dining room furniture shuffle experience. The location is spot on, and the restaurant itself looks great—stylish, welcoming, and promising. Unfortunately, the service didn’t quite match the décor. There were four of us, but we were seated at a table clearly designed for two people who really like each other. We asked if we could move to something more suitable (like a table that could hold four plates), and someone did eventually come over—but not to help us. They just needed our tiny table for someone else. So off we shuffled again, but still not to a bigger table. Meanwhile, the staff were locked in an intense game of table Tetris, and taking orders didn’t seem to be on the menu. After a while of sitting with no space and no service, we decided to cut our losses and leave. A shame really—lovely setting, tasty-looking menu, but the only thing we got served was mild disappointment.

The food was really good, but I guess what I liked the most was the service. We had dinner on a late Friday evening, like after 9pm, which means people had been probably working for a few hours by that point. Still they were very welcoming and kind to us, from start to finish. A big thank to the people working there! Will be coming back when visiting Torquay again.

Review of Prezo Torquay I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prezo Torquay and I’m excited to share my experience. From the atmosphere to the service and, of course, the food, here’s a breakdown of what made my visit stand out. Ambiance: The atmosphere at Prezo Torquay was warm and inviting. The decor struck a perfect balance between [elegant/casual/modern/etc.], making it suitable for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The lighting was just right, and the background music created a pleasant setting without being overwhelming. Service: The service at Prezo Torquay was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Our server, [Server’s Name], made sure we had everything we needed, offering thoughtful suggestions and checking in at just the right moments. The food arrived promptly, and the staff ensured we had a smooth dining experience from start to finish. Food: Now, the star of the show—the food! The menu at Prezo Torquay offers a variety of dishes that cater to diverse tastes. I started with the [Starter Dish], which was a perfect blend of flavors. For the main course, I tried the [Main Dish], and it was absolutely delicious—[mention specific flavors, textures, and quality]. The [Dessert/Side Dish] was the perfect way to end the meal, and it did not disappoint. Everything was beautifully presented and cooked to perfection, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail and commitment to quality. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and experience. Drinks: The drink menu was equally impressive, with a wide range of cocktails, wines, and non-alcoholic options. I tried the [Cocktail/Wine], and it paired wonderfully with my meal. Value: Considering the quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall experience, Prezo Torquay offers great value for money. Whether you’re looking for a special occasion dinner or just a casual night out, it’s worth every penny. Conclusion: Overall, I highly recommend Prezo Torquay for anyone in search of an enjoyable dining experience. The combination of excellent food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere makes it a standout in the area. I’ll definitely be returning for another visit! ⸻

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the manager, Yeliz, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends. The pizza was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, a perfect crispy-yet-chewy crust, and a great balance of flavors. What really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, and Yeliz personally checked on us to make sure everything was perfect. It’s rare to see such dedication and passion in the restaurant industry these days, and it made our visit extra special. If you’re looking for the best pizza in town with top-notch service, this is the place to go! Highly recommend, and we will definitely be coming back!

Hiya, myself and my girlfriend a dinner reservation for 8:30pm at your establishment on Friday evening. We ordered drinks starters, mains and dessert all together with our waiter in the hopes it would be easier and quicker than ordering them all separately. First issue was that the starters came out after waiting approximately 40-50 minutes, the starter came out before any drinks, We wasn’t even offered any water. The mains and drinks then came out another hour later. We then patiently waited for a while for our dessert which never arrived at that point we had got up and just asked for the bill at the bar because the night was getting on and we had reservations else where too. When we did go to the bar we asked about the desserts and how much longer they would be, we was told that the kitchen was closed and no longer serving. If we hadn’t asked we would’ve been sat there mindlessly waiting for god knows how long. With no understanding that we wasn’t even going to receive them. I am very upset with the poor service and waiting time, I understand that it was a busy night but I feel that waiting 2.30hours+ was very disappointing.

It was a busy evening at prezzo Torquay tonight but the waitress that made our trip most pleasant was ‘Laura’ (If I remember correctly). She was a lovely lady with blonde hair and glasses. In which I asked for a recommendation and it was by far the best decision to follow this recommendation. She was pleasant to speak to and smiled the whole way through her shift. It was busy and a lot of the waitresses and waiters did seem flustered. But Laura handled the busy restaurant really well as she kept a very professional face on and a smile each time she came over to our table. Her customer service was excellent. And I hope she gets a lot of praise as it’s the kind of customer service a lot of places are missing from their restaurants these days. Such a wonderful waitress!

Scheduled delivery and saw the delivery driver change 8 times on the app and then an hour and half after the Scheduled delivery they cancelled my order at 9pm on Valentines day evening, too late then to get anything else ordered. Poor service and ruined my evening.

Booked for a meal out with a group of friends. Hassled constantly y email about preordering food or the booking would be cancelled. All preordered food in advance. Arrive on the night and there's no heating. Initial drinks order was swift, no issues there. Our food had apparently not been preordered, despite it clearly showing on my booking. Then took over an hour to come out. Service after the initial order was poor, we had to keep chasing down wait staff. Entire service tonight was shocking for a well known chain

When hospitality is struggling so badly, it is baffling that every effort would not be made to make every dining experience as positive as possible. Sadly, at Prezzo in Torquay, our table of 4 felt like we were completely unwelcome and staff just wanted us out as quickly as possible. We were seated at 8pm and the advertised closing time was 11pm. However, the he second I had finished my main course, my plate was whipped away and then the same with the next two diners. My partner is a slow eater and still had two slices of pizza left when one waiter came over and asked if we would like the dessert menu. We declined as my partner was still eating, but the second that last slice was finished, again the plate was whipped away and the dessert menu offered. We ordered another bottle of wine and wanted to take our time to let our mains settle before ordering dessert. We eventually had to ask if they were still serving dessert, as so much clearing up and packing away of bar and restaurant items it just felt like we wouldn’t be surprised if the kitchen had closed. We did manage to get dessert but they brought our bill over and turned off the lights in half the restaurant whilst we were still eating. It just made the whole experience feel very tense and not enjoyable in any way. It was a Friday night on a payday, and we intended to spend a reasonable amount but just felt so rushed. Despite the published closing time being 11pm, we were told at 10.20 that they were closing in 10 minutes and we had to ask if it was ok to finish the half bottle of wine we had left before they kicked us out. Really poor service overall and only half decent food. Sadly made us all not want to go back there again.

Pre-booked and came here Friday 27th December. Our waiter who took the order was very friendly but the service after that was very disappointing. Not informed on ordering that it would be over an hour wait for food (we wouldn't have stayed if we knew) we had 2 young children with us so waiting so long wasn't ideal! The kids meals were brought out forgetting (I assume) the starter, which later on flagging down a staff member got brought out just as we were all ending our mains. Food was good, can't fault that but definitely better service and communication needed!

We visited Prezzo in Torquay on Saturday night with the family, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was amazing as always. What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service. Despite being a busy Saturday evening, the staff remained cheerful, attentive, and incredibly helpful. It was clear they were working hard, but they never let it show. Their positive attitude and friendly smiles made the whole evening even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt relaxed yet special. It’s rare to find a restaurant that nails both food and service, but Prezzo in Torquay did just that. We’ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommended for families, friends, or anyone looking for a great meal with outstanding service.

Went here on a Friday evening for a bite to eat. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the building is wonderful. Unfortunately the service was slow waited a long time for the main course to arrive we did get an apology for the wait. The meun is very similar to zizzi but unfortunately not as well priced it seems a little expensive for what we got. The food was also just ok nothing special.

We pre-booked as a table of 11, 6 adults and 5 children. At the point we sat down the restaurant only had 2 other small tables seated. After a while we had our drinks orders taken followed by food. It took over a hour for food to be served, a challenge with little ones. There was a lack of warmth and engagement when interacting with the staff. The food itself was 👌. I can recommend the chicken spaghetti carbonara and my wife enjoyed her pepperoni pizza. The children had a 3 course menu; garlic bread for starters, margarita pizza and then gelato / sorbet. As a group on two occasions we hd to ask for some of the groups food it appeared to have been forgotten (children’s main and two children’s deserts) Great value for money as the total bill was just over £150 as we were VERY lucky to be able to use a blue light discount - 20% off the total food bill and free children’s meal with every adult eating. So worth checking if anyone had a blue light card. In summary, great tasting food and value for money with use of the blue light card, however lacking in customer service as above.

We decided to go to Prezzo for a quick and easy dinner as you usually know what you’re going to get but unfortunately we chose the wrong night due to a number of failures. The staff member who met us when we walked in asked us where we’d like to sit & as there were only about 5 tables in use we pointed to a spare table along the wall of the restaurant to be away from the main crowd of tables in use more in the centre but just as we were sitting down the manager on duty came over and told the waitress that she couldn’t sit us there without giving a reason and told her to re-seat us more in the centre, we didn’t say anything but did what was asked. Next our drinks came out which was a glass of wine and bottle of cider with a glass, when I took a sip of my cider there was a rancid smell that came from inside the glass I’d put my cider in, I knew this wasn’t it’s usual smell as have had the same cider before, it was un-drinkable so asked for a new glass which they were happy to do and bought a new bottle of cider with it too. My wife took a sip of her glass of wine but around the outside of her glass there was a small bogey/silicone type ball on the outside of the glass, again we complained and she got a new glass of wine. Whilst we were waiting for our food a staff member appeared from the kitchen and proceeded to walk through the restaurant with a plunger towards the toilets and then a while later reappeared from the toilets walking through the restaurant holding the plunger going back into the kitchen with it, luckily we weren’t close enough to notice if it smelt like it could have been put to use but very off putting. Towards the end of our visit the manager on duty was having a heated conversation with one of her staff members where it seemed like she was telling them off but this was in front of the whole restaurant by the till and was loud enough for us to look across even though we were a few tables away, this should have been done in a more private setting 1 to stop the embarrassment for the staff member and 2 for customers to not hear this whilst trying to enjoy their evening. The food as always was standard, no complaints as was as expected, just all the other things this night put a downer on the whole evening.

Horrible experience. We had an offer using the UNiDAYS app, £10 for unlimited pizza and a group of 11 of us utilised the deal. Expecting a bill or £110(plus tip and drinks) we were shocked to see a bill of £670. After negotiation and a bit of arguing we were able to lower it to £240. Keep in mind we ordered only one or two drinks that weren’t tap water. We have complained to prezzo and not had a response yet. Not to mention, the food made one of us sick and puke in the restaurant bathrooms, on top of lacklustre taste. Never coming back and lost a lot of money in the process that we are hoping to get back.

refused to accept our discount and was overcharged they lied to us about the total cost of our meal, pizza was incredibly disappointing it was a common opinion across our table that it was hard to finish it because it tasted so poor.

Absolute joke, as a student who is struggling for money and requires cheap, good deals to eat out. I was told that I would have unlimited pizza for 10 pounds from prezzos and when I went there, I was informed after my meal that it was ten pounds per pizza which was a complete lie. The staff tried to say that our order was 650 pounds which was obviously a lie but he forced us to pay and I am writing this review currently to inform anyone thinking about going to prezzos to not do so as it is a corrupt and scandalous company whose business practices aim to target and scam their customers. Disgraceful 1/5.

Excellent food, atmosphere and really friendly staff. A welcomed change from usual restaurant service in other establishments. 5* service; even on a busy Friday.

They forgot our food firstly got annoyed and gave us free food to make up for it but we weren’t hungry then. They are so rude don’t ask if u want sauce and forgot most of our main courses. The environment was ok the toilets could do with a new sink bc it was cracked. The service is rubbish they don’t give the drinks at all even if u ask !

Took us 20 minutes to get our drinks that we ordered & this was after having to ask were our drinks was when they came out with our starters. I ordered salmon & it wasn’t fresh it was out of a tin. My husband ordered brochette which was so hard couldn’t cut it was sliced tomatoes not little roasted cherry tomatoes on it. For mains my husband ordered crab & lobster ravioli. Ravioli was so hard like it had been batch cooked then put in freezer for a later time. Told the waiter about our experience only to be replied with well at least it’s edible !!!!. We always like to go here when we holiday in Torquay but definitely won’t be going back next year . Definitely gone down hill since we visited last year .

Came here whilst on our short trip to Torquay. Friendly staff served us whilst we dined here. We ordered calamari & garlic bread with cheese and caramelised onions, however they brought out just a normal garlic bread and had to wait just over 5 / 10minutes for the right garlic bread by this time we had finished the calamari. Moving on, my partner had the smoky Tre Carni Pinsa and I had the crab and lobster ravioli both which was absolutely delicious and would definitely have both of these dishes again! Overall a lovely meal!

Had a lovely meal here last week. Great food, good choice. Lovely staff. My only criticism is ‘very loud’. Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful building but inside, the ceiling is so high, the noise echos. There were a few young families and it had a canteen feel about it. Saying that I’d go back but maybe a little later in the evening.

Pressing is a very nice Italian restaurant. Ambiance is great, very friendly staff, great service. They had few vegan options, vegan pepperoni pizza was amazing, vegan Speghati bolognaise was a bit less in portion. Overall a nice place for date night or family get together .

This is our go to place in Torquay. Beautiful restaurant, greated with a friendly smile from Gary, who was extremely attentive. The service was very fast and the food was scrumptious. We have a coeliac in the family and we know it’s 100% safe which means a lot when away from home. Lovely dinner.10/10 from us!

We were immediately struck by such a warm welcome that we got from Mehran which set the theme for the whole evening. We loved everything about the restaurant from the superb décor, fabulous food and super-friendly service. Mehran could not have done more to make our stay memorable, in particular noticing it was one of the group’s birthday, so it was really kind of him and much appreciated that he went out of his way to sort a small surprise for him.

Visited Torquay on Friday 9th August. On their website kids are free if you signed up and got a code. Food was delicious, hot and fresh. The service was so good with checking in with us and requesting our food to come out quicker as we had 2 small children. I would recommend eating here.

Had some good pizza here. The decor of this place is just outstanding and very beautiful. At night the place seems very dark but, I know that's the restaurant atmosphere.

Told we have to sit outside with 2 young children. 90 minutes later and still waiting for food, when it eventually arrived it was cold and extremely average. Women's toilets broken, they are having to use the mens. I wouldn't recommend to anyone

Great meal, son particularly loved the giant garlic pizza bread. Tables nicely spaced apart with plenty of room, waiting staff very busy but still extremely attentive and helpful, especially Gary. Removed the things from dishes we don't like too, like basil and peppers. Used Tesco club card points too, a bonus.

We ordered 2 pastas and garlic bread , the pasta came but not the garlic bread - when the garlic bread came it didn’t have any garlic it was just plain bread by then we finished eating. The food is ok - nothing special the waitress was nice.nothing really special about the place

Visited here tonight as a family of seven. The food was very nice and well cooked. Calum was very nice and the service was much better when he came on. The only reason for my 4 star is that children drinks very small and watered down for the cost of them.

Service is poor we waited 20minutes for our plates to be cleared in the end we asked the staff who were stood behind the bar chatting to clear our plates and asked if we could order deserts, our waiter came over asked what we would like, when we hadn’t even been presented with the dessert menu, another 20 minutes we are still waiting, the people next to us are also getting frustrated. Ginven up on deserts, not sure how long we will have to wait for the bill.

Was pleased to be able to visit a Prezzo whilst staying in Torquay, but had a very disappointing visit. Service was extremely slow. We sat and watched our drinks on the bar for 10 mins before they were finally brought over to us. When our main courses were brought over to us the waitress had got my husbands order wrong. When we questioned it the waitress told us it could be another 10 mins before a replacement was brought out. My husband then enquired what would happen to my dish as I had already started mine. Her response was 'Well what do you want me to do then?' We asked to speak to a manager, who thankfully understood our issue, and was very apologetic, and told us that they were very short staffed, but other diners who walked in the same time as us were leaving by the time we had our main course. It took 1 hr and 50 mins for a starter and main course. We were given 50% off our bill, and we're offered a complimentary dessert, but declined as we did not want to prolong the experience any further. Food, thankfully was hot and tasty.

food was really good we had pizza! really great taste! unfortunately the service was almost the worst I've ever had! the waitress forgot about us and was busy chatting in the kitchen I had to shout to get her attention! I understand we were the only people in the restaurant . however the only interaction with her was to take the order and serve it. no asking if everything is OK or do we want any more drinks! once she left our food we didn't see her again for 30 minutes!

This place is just wonderful. Whether it rain or shine, the views are amazing and the food and service is second to none. A regular visitor for brunch and a delicious takeaway pizza. Sat outside, overlooking the harbour is my favourite thing to do. The food is local and of very good quality and the price is competitive. All the staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I so enjoyed my Mothers Day Brunch and the free glass of pink prosecco made it even more special.

Popped here while on a break in Torquay - did not have to book and just strolled right in. Main dinner portions were a real good size - enough to fill you up for the night. Pudding really good as well and the standard shot of limoncello at the end. Cannot moan at the price at the end of the meal either. Family run business and the service was top notch.
