We recently visited Prezzo, and overall, it was a good experience. The food was delicious, and the dishes we ordered were well-prepared and flavorful. The ambiance was also lovely, with a nice interior design that made the setting comfortable and inviting. While we enjoyed the food and atmosphere, the service could use some improvement. There was a delay with my coffee, and it took about 20 minutes to arrive. However, our server was very polite, apologized for the wait, and kindly offered us an extra drink on the house to make up for it. All in all, it was a positive experience, and we appreciated the friendly gesture from the staff. With a bit more focus on timing, this place could be even better. Looking forward to visiting again!

We ordered a tomato, mushroom and olives pizza and had to wait one hour for it and then when we received it i realised there was anchovies which we did not want. I paid for salad and 2 soft drinks and had to go to somewhere else. My point is that mistakes and delays happen however, the staffs were not even apologising properly she went to speak to manager and never came back. Me and my girlfriend had to go to somewhere else to eat something we had a terrible experience in this place i do not recommended at all

The vegan spaghetti bolognese (one of the only 2/3 vegan main options) was £16 for spaghetti, lentils and vegetables, and was prepared like a school dinner. The spaghetti was thick, bland and soggy in consistency- not what you would expect of a restaurant. A huge rip off. The waiter, Lavinia was very nice though and provided excellent service. The starter and dessert were also very nice.

Firstly Thanks Prezzo for the 50% off voucher but that's where the good news ends. Food was children protions, once the bill arrived they added 2 more main meals on there so in fact it was full price. Please check your bill when it arrives as the deal is not a great deal

Absolutely shocking service. Seated for 45 minutes- not even offered a drink. Floor staff would walk straight past us- more concerned about taking payments than customer service. I understand a busy evening, but the restaurant had plenty of empty tables. Would’ve expected far better if I’m honest.

What a shambles. A 45 Minute wait in a half empty restaurant to still not have an order taken. I get that service can be stressful and busy but if you seat someone 45 minutes ago they're more than likely ready to order. Will be avoiding from now on.

An overall mediocre experience. Service is definitely lacking. The waiter forgot to give us cutlery (we ordered spaghetti and a burger), forgot to bring our sparkling water, forgot to bring the kid's dessert... Had to ask for each item, gave up on the dessert. When I pointed out that we didn't get the ice cream scoop, when paying, waiter said : "it's ok it's part of the menu" lol Not a mean bloke but just scattered. He gave good service to the family next to our table though, asked them if they wanted dessert, a little chit chat about travel... Maybe they got a VIP option I don't know about. Anyway... Won't be going back.

We came in, ordered and had to wait around 40 minutes for the food to come while the other came in after and got their food straight away. It also seemed like they only made our food when we asked how long it would be. When the food came it wasn't cooked probably. The chicken tasted like they just took it out of the microwave. So disappointed at this point plus a man wearing a red T-shirt was just ignoring us when we tryna ask for a bill. Couldn't been worse

We arrived to our booking early but were sat promptly. Had ample time with the drinks menu before our order was taken and then had an extra 10 minutes once we had drinks to look over the food menu. Once our order was taken, starters came out quite quickly and they were nice. Then our starters got cleared and instantly got our mains which were cold. Not once did anyone come to check on us to see how our meal was, it was only when we had stacked our still almost full bowls together did someone check that we were okay. We replied that no, our food was cold and we had been sat there for 25 minutes without anyone checking on us, our server asked if we wanted to pick something else from the menu and then cleared our plates. She came back with dessert menus and said they’d be on the house but our experience was already ruined at this point as we were very unimpressed. We witnessed her explain to the manager with our full plates still in her hands, yet we then waited another 15 minutes for the manager to come over again to offer us free desserts, which we declined again, and then asked quite abruptly if we wanted the bill then. We paid, one of our mains had been taken off the bill but when I presented a voucher, it was then added back on so we could use the voucher instead. Not once did we received an apology from any staff member and now it had ruined what should have been an pleasant anniversary dinner (which they were also aware of) Would not return, especially the Lakeside branch.

This place has many bad reviews and now i understand , i've been here many times and now its awful , staff are ignorant and walk past while wanting to ask questions .Clearly no one cleans as the tables are sticky , plates are unwashed , cups are dirty and more , food was alright . I ordered pasta with just butter for my child, well i thought it took about 30 minutes for her food to come and when it did arrive it was cold , not just cold freezing . I think that prezzo should make there kids meals abit bigger , my daughter finished her food and was still so hungry . Despite this when i went to the toilet there was toilet paper everywhere on the floor with the room smelling horrible . Everything in the menu is overpriced and half of the menu was unavalible due to the kitchen.

My experience was a disaster! I do not recommend it ever. First of all I got a tiny cup to drink from that you can barely hold it in your hands. Than the workers ignored us although they went past us multiple times. My waiter was one of the best one she served most of the tables. I ordered a burger for my child but the chicken was super soft and it felt like it was microwaved. Their oven was 'broken' therefore half of the menu was gone since everything was in the oven even some of the deserts. For my point of view some staff where just in the bar laughing having fun while we waited 30mins as other people who came after us got their food but it was the same thing. When I entered the restaurant I had no respect just how many people are there that's all. I thought that was it but when I went inside the women's bathroom I had a shock. There were stains on the floor and the floor was sticky aswell as toilet paper all over the floor. Who knows when they actually did a deep clean in there. There were barely any toilet paper, I had to use MY own tissue.

Sadly had a very unfortunate visit tonight. My sister and I ordered the VEGETARIAN calzone, however, the kitchen staff decided to miss that important word out, and cook us two meat calzones. It was only when my sister was half way through, and saw little pieces of pancetta in there, that we questioned it being vegetarian (the ingredients in the meat and veg are the same, bar the pancetta in the meat one). We check with our server, who confirmed the calzones were indeed meat, but the order showed vegetarian was ordered. She was very apologetic, and we genuinely can't fault her at all. However, how on earth does the kitchen staff not see, or bother to care that they said vegetarian. Granted, the server and manager were very nice, and took the kids meal off the bill, our two starters and the calzones. Very nice of him, however, it still doesn't take away the feeling of sickness and regret. Sad to say we won't be visiting again. Thanks to the manager and server, but I can't forgive the kitchen staff who royally fudged up. Now excuse me while I go throw up.

Absolutely disgusting service from a girl at the front desk. Walked in at 7.15pm greeted by two members of staff. Asked if they have a table and that we have a tastecard. The blonde lady in Prezzo uniform said yes. The other dark hair lady wearing a blazer proceeded in a rude way to ask us about terms and conditions of the Taste card, asked if we booked...in a half empty restaurant. She was very rude and spoke to me and my wife like we came to eat there for free???? The restaurant is listed on Taste Card app, the other lady said they had spaces, what's the reason for this questioning? Avoid at all costs. Even 1 Star is too much for the service in that restaurant. Someone needs to teach this lady basic customer service and manners. We walked out and taken our custom to Bella Italia who were very polite and accommodating.

Absolutely horrible food for the price you pay. The food is clearly not freshly cooked but appears to be heated up in the microwave. We had to send back the Alfredo as it had absolutely no taste whatsoever. I had the spinach and ricotta cannelloni. The tubes of pasta were stiff and the filling was stiff too. The side dish of garlic and rosemary potatoes was 2 hasselback potatoes that had clearly been bought as frozen and then oven cooked. Not at all as described on the menu. The best part of the meal was the calarmari starter. Which seemed freshly prepared and cooked. Really disappointed in this place. Won’t be returning

Lovely food but I'm sorry to say the service was shocking. The starters arrived before our drinks but it was busy so we accepted that and all was going well. Then our mains arrived we were told that we would get cutlery. We waited for 10 minutes before asking another member of staff for a fork. We were told there was cutlery on the table leaving us to say we had used it with our starters. We were not offered dessert menus at all and then had to ask again for more drinks. Again after 15 minutes we asked another member of staff fo our drinks. Our original waiter brought them and said that these drinks were on him as he had forgotten our order. We were then left for a further 45 minutes. Nobody approached us to see if we wanted any dessert or anything yet 3 members of staff were dancing behind the bar and then eating, another staff member was in the corner on the till and others were walking in and out of the kitchen. This was despite there only being four tables full in the entire restaurant. We finally managed to ask for the bill and explained that we had been left with the waiter simply saying "oh". Will not be returning anytime soon which is a shame as the food was really nice.

I entered the restaurant to dine with my 1 year old son alone and felt like we were forgotten and below the waitresses from the start. The main issue was that we asked for a takeaway box as my son was tired and didn’t finish his meal this alone took 36 minutes to come (it’s a box). My drink order was incorrect, our pasta went cold whilst waiting for Parmesan and all I could hear was the friction and constant bickering of what looked to be the male manager working behind the bar (plain clothed) and a female floor manager. I have to say the female manager had an awful attitude and excuse for everything and deliberately served and prioritised other elder customers over us. We dine at Lakeside 2/3 times a week and I have absolutely no incentive to return. Her attitude stunk and upon observing we were being forgotten about more than once I raised it with her when she was at the table serving behind me to which she put her finger up as if to shhh me! Absolutely disgraceful. When this manager brought over the bill she quietly tried profusely apologising by offering my son lollipops (which he is too young to have and a choking hazard). As I said to her then, there isn’t an excuse you left us waiting for the bill for a further 30 mins after the 36 minute wait for a cardboard box. How experience was nothing short of AWFUL!!!

We had such a nice time 9/11/23. The lady who served us (might have been the manager, not too sure) was lovely, very attentive and nice to chat to. The food was delicious and she made me the nicest coffee I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend 😌 the tirimisu and the citrus cooler were amazing also.

Went for lunch with my wife & mum. It was really busy, but we’ll staffed and friendly service. All 3 of us had different mains, Truffle & Gorgonzola burger for me(Well cooked and tasty) My mum had the Risotto, wife the Sea food Ravioli and both thought their food was delicious. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious and the lemon meringue cake was loved by my wife. A very pleasant experience and we’ll be going back soon.

The food was ok, totally understaffed but the staff were very friendly. One of our desserts came with cream that was off and pretty rank.

A very busy Prezzo restaurant during half term which was clearly understaffed. Food good as always at Prezzo. I find the choice of starters very boring these days. No chicken/meat options. Starters came out quickly but it took over 45 minutes to get our mains. Didn't bother with desserts for this reason.

I have had many positive experiences at other branches but this Prezzo is one to avoid. It was busy as it was half term (but it was about 2pm). We only had to wait a few minutes before a woman came to seat us but she was interrupted by a very abrupt man who barked, " How many?" at us. Everytime she came over, he server kept touching me on the back/shoulder with her hand and I kept moving my body away. I eventually had to ask her to stop after the third time but she still did it to my husband as we were paying. The starters and pasta dishes were fine but my husband's saltimbocca was very thin and over cooked, the cabbage was wet and floppy and the potato looked like it had been heated in a microwave, not roasted al forno as described in the menu. The sauce was incredibly watery. They did replace this meal but then we didnt get to eat together. A really disappointing experience.

Nice food, but the staff member who dealt with us during our meal was rubbish, she couldn't understand the majority of what we were saying, when ordering, very strong language Barrier, which made our experience quite disappointing overall and then when we paid, we had an offer which she didn't how to use and she wasn't able to explain the details and then proceeded to come across agressive because we didn't understand her....

A very sad outlet of a chain I usually have a lot of time for. Not a single hello, please or thank you during our visit. And staff that would not stop touching our shoulders despite being asked not to. The venue is cavernous and dark, nor fabrics to attempt to buffet sound so you get the experience of a deafening school canteen. To complete the school dinner experience I had one of the worst things I've ever been served in a restaurant: the 'new' saltimbocca was a cardboard-stiff chicken breast, soggy cabbage cooked to falling apart, and an "Al forno" potato that had clearly been microwaved. Surrounding by a watery mess of a sauce. Disgusting. Staff did substitute the meal quickly and without fuss, but I can't get over how (a) that gets on the menu in that state and (b) how a kitchen sent it out. Men's toilets were _dusty_ with calcified limescale on the taps and mouldy grout. Who knows when they were last properly deep cleaned. Prezzo usually has decent standards but this outlier sticks out like a cherry tomato. Avoid.

On last Saturday we had dinner in Prezzo with friends. We got table without booking very quickly. Fantastic customer service. Exceptional costumer service from Fation. He made the atmosphere really amazing and we enjoyed our time. The food were delicious. The cocktails were great. Strawberry lemonade was the best lemonade I ever had. However the tables were sticky and really worn-out, with marks all over them.

Extremely slow service, from booking a table to waiting 20 minutes at the front door to be seated on a two seater table with three guests, cramped. Took a further 10-15 minutes to get someone’s attention for drinks & possibly move tables, then a further 10 minutes after receiving the drinks we were allowed to order food, the “truffle fries” came with zero truffle just extra parsley & the tiniest bit of Parmesan, overall very slow experience, quite disappointed because the food was okay, could of been better though.

Ruined birthday celebration, we had a booking for 1700, but when we arrived it was chaos; 2 members of staff (very junior) no obvious host or manager, queueing out of the door, finally taken to our table, 2 tables pushed together of different sizes! We had pre booked a booth as it was a birthday dinner.The Restaurant was a tip -either uncleared tables with people waiting to pay or people looking stressed waiting to order or food. The bar top was full of dirty glasses. After 25 mins and waving at one of the 2 junior waitresses finally came to take our drinks order, my wife ordered a small Malbec, the waitress replied we have none! We ordered drinks and was meant to be ordering food as well to save time but she wandered off. After 10 minutes we had decided if it took this long to get 5 drinks the food would be a disaster, it certainly looked like it. We informed the waitress we were leaving as the service was terrible, she was rude, We walked out. Dreadful

Terrible experience. When we arrived at about 8.pm we were told there were no pizza or bread dough products available. One of the meals turned up about 15 mins before the other three dishes ,which were all either under cooked or still frozen. My partners dish had said sliced potatoes, but he was given a frozen unsliced whole potato which was still stone cold in the middle. You could see where it was supposed to be sliced and served on the plate but whoever is working in the kitchen has no idea of presentation or has any cooking/ 're heating skills. His meal also arrived without any sauce or prosciutto. He sent it back , waited another 10 mins for an under cooked inedible meal.

Prezzo lakeside is the worst thing I have ever experienced …food was cold had to send back twice the girls who worked as waitresses had no idea what they was doing spent most time talking in corners and not acknowledging us when waving or calling them over we tried to explain our situation and got treated like dirt this is not the experience and service I paid for ? The waitresses seem to be young and have no experience in the industry and only came over to give us the food .. I will not come back here and not expect anyone to go here unless they want to Be treated like rubbish very disappointed with everything …restaurant was empty aswell where was the hospitality. Girls where only interested on being on their phones and wearing unprofessional outfits and accessories didn’t feel welcoming …

The oak smoked salmon pasta was very nice. The rest was very average with the staff under par. They were very inattentive and it was really difficult trying to catch anyone’s eye.

Absolutely delicious and the portions were really generous. Unlikely to go anywhere else after this. I had the buttermilk chicken rice bowl and it was as lovely as I've had in any restaurant. Less than £7 and I am full and happy. Lots of gluten free choice too.
