Raffeollos in Southend-on-Sea

Absolutely everything is outstanding, reserved a table of 6 for my recent 19th Birthday with the family as a surprise they did for me, couldn't be happier with the preparation of the food, the quick catering and excellent manners of the staff. Thank you for giving me and my family a wonderful service and time! (And food 😋)

10 of us visited for dinner last week. Holly our waitress was fantastic - she couldn’t have done anymore to make us all feel welcome and cater to everyone’s requests - thank you!! The food was also great, the pizzas are delicious and we’d all highly recommend the pistachio tiramisu! We will be back!

If you are in the area, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. When many places had stopped serving food, I called this restaurant who accommodated us despite being very near to closing time and they did not rush us and made us feel very welcome. The team were great, they were italian and you could tell by the quality of the food served. We had the scallops to start and they were so tender, they melted in your mouth and were fresh and full of flavour, I was thoroughly impressed. For Mains, we both had pizzas which were fresh and delicious and the generous portions meant we took half home with us as well. Excellent place for service and food and if I am visiting the area again, I would definitely go back there. Being half Italian and having eaten a lot of authentic Italian food, I can honestly say this is a gem of a restaurant.

I really enjoyed the meal tonight the atmosphere was really good the service was good and the meal was really delicious I will be back to this amazing place 🙏

The food here is always fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. You can really taste the care that goes into each dish. The family who runs the café are absolutely lovely—warm, welcoming, and always ready with a smile. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home. Last time, I had their special dish with avocado, poached eggs, chorizo, and fresh chilli. It was perfectly balanced—creamy and full of flavour. Highly recommend!
