Salt Bar Pizza Grill in Maldon

Giovanni looked after us very well!! He made sure my wineglass was full at all times. Very knowledgable about the menu and brilliant at describing the specials. Great experience, beautifully cooked pasta and wonderfully flavoured bruschetta ❤️ will definitely be coming back.

I was looking forward to my a special celebration. But sorry to say it was not. We chose the cold meze starter for 2 when it arrived it did not look that appetising we were not even half way through when we were told our mains were ready. We said but still eating starter and was told that it would get cold if we didn't eat now. So we put the starter to one side. When the main arrived the lamb chops were so dry they were hard to eat. The swordfish my partner ordered was dry and he could only part eat. We felt constantly rushed and the food very disappointing.

Very nice place! Popped in for a late night drink. Friendly staff, beautiful interior design, venue looked great, so a future visit quite possible!

Great food and service, the lamb was amazing

Nestled in the charming town of Maldon, SALT Bar Pizza Grill offers an authentic Italian dining experience that transports your taste buds straight to the Mediterranean. Overall, SALT Bar Pizza Grill is a must-visit for anyone in Maldon looking for a taste of Italy. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty pizza or a delicate pasta dish, you won’t be disappointed.

We recently had a large family meal with around 20 guests from all over the world. Their team was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole afternoon we were there. The drinks were very nice and the food was perfect. I personally had the crusted lamb but between us we probably had everything on the menu with no complaints. Giovanni made sure we had everything we needed and also obliged my mother with a dance at the end to some Italian music. Our waitress was Millie and she was fantastic from the very start. She was so polite and has the greatest smile. It wasn't until we spoke to her that we found out it was her first ever shift. Thank you again, we will be returning soon.

Fantastic food, knowledgable and friendly staff - Daisy is a star! ⭐️

A really good Italian restaurant that undersells itself. Great proper pizza and seafood.

Lovely restaurant, beautifully decorated and friendly attentive staff. Waited a little bit for first drinks order but food was brought out quite quickly and no complaints for any dishes that were ordered! Personally had the lamb but would probably opt for pizza if visited again as that seems to be their signature dish!

We had a very impromptu visit to salt bar pizza grill today as a table of 5. firstly, the staff were very accommodating (especially to our 90 year old grandmother who wanted something that wasn't on the menu) I can't thank the chefs enough for this. we had a lot of questions, which again, staff were diligent and answered everything. the service was outstanding, and giovani is a lovely host. the food was exquisite, the steak was amazing, and my mouth is still watering with how beautiful the Italian tiramisu was. I literally can't wait to come back, even if it is just for dessert.

Fantastic delicious food exceptional service

Great service, great atmosphere, great food. Thank you

Lovely staff. Real family feel. Extremely stylish interior . Amazing prawns and pasta. Will definitely come again.

We popped in on the spur of the moment and were very pleased with our dinners. Will definitely go there again.

Food was great. Credit to the chefs! Staff.... I get better customer service from McDonald's. Little man with a massive attitude.

Dined on Saturday at 5:30pm. We were sat in a corner right beside 3 families with the tables so close together we may as well have all been on one. The restaurant was not busy so I can only think that the reason we were all sat directly next to one another by the window, is to insinuate the restaurant is busy to try and get more business in. The waitresses had to squeeze past me to get to the next table without saying excuse me (this is a clear sign that you sat us all too close together) carrying next doors plates above my head. Drinks did not come until our food had arrived either so quite poor. The food was average, although no pizza cutter was provided and a blunt butter knife wasn’t cutting through. There was no service from any of the waitresses, appreciate they were all very young and one was clearly on their first shift, but because of this I would not have tipped. I do not believe adding service charge on to a bill without permission from the customer is right; tipping is a bonus for great service which unfortunately we did not have any of this evening. Quite disappointed as a whole and wouldn’t return or recommend. A very vanilla evening and nothing to shout home about.

Giovanni the best bar man and manager. Very down to earth and welcoming

Thank you very much for the lovely food and the lovely waitress lily she was amazing and giovanni was polite and I will definitely becoming again very happy 😊

Fist time visiting. Food was lovely. Service was shocking. Rudest man I’ve ever encountered in a restaurant. After reading some more reviews clearly it wasn’t a one off. Also wasn’t just once at dinner it was at several different moments. Definitely shouldn’t be working front of house! Shame as has put me off returning even though the food was nice.

Amazing food, amazing service. We’ve been at this restaurant several times and every time the service and food is amazing. Thank you for making my birthday special

Third time here, after a couple of mediocre visits previously. This time was a much better experience. Great service from all staff, especially Amy. Food arrived very quickly and was delicious. Pizza, pasta and risotto were all excellent plus 2 mixed salads and a bottle of house wine. Total £90 including tip. I’d definitely recommend on the basis of this meal.

Had a lovely evening at Salt in Maldon, modern and very clean place, the owner was present and very attentive and polite, the staff was very friendly and the food very delicious, overall a great experience and a very enjoyable evening, highly recommended

Milly was a fantastic waitress and made sure everything was fantastic

This was our first time visiting, we are very impressed. Beautiful food and amazing service by Millie. We will definitely be back soon.

Visited Salt with a friend, we were served by Millie who was very attentive. The food came promptly, and was very tasty. Thank you for a lovely experience!

Food was lovely really good quality, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend and will definitely return

We both had sword fish last night, with a delicious vegetable accompaniment. Served by a very nice young lady, Moira ? who went to Nottm uni. Overall a great experience. Helen n John

Lovely food and great service from Amy! Highly recommended!

Excellent food, good service, a good atmosphere and very friendly staff

Sensational meal - amazing food and fabulous service. Thanks so much for looking after us so well.

Fantastic place, great food, very welcoming even with 3 kids in tow.

10/10 will be coming back. My fiancé and I had the pleasure of visiting here last night for a date night and honestly it was exceptional. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend to not only couples but those looking for a family friendly resturant in the area!

Amazing dinner this evening.... xx

The two guys were really busy. It took 20mins to get a drink. If we had been sorted with a drink straight away it would have been maximum stars, because the food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. Music was a bit loud. Love this place we shall return

Millie was great with answering any questions we had regarding the menu. The service and meal was great. Will come back again.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff!

This in our opinion is the best place to eat in Maldon, exceptional!! Giovanni (apologies if my spelling is wrong) and his brilliant staff deliver the best service you could wish for. The food is amazing, mussels to die for, monkfish incredible and pizza and pasta all wonderful. We had a big group and they looked after us all so well. I don’t normally do reviews, you’re asked for too many these days, but this warranted a mention.

The restaurant is clean and cozy. The food is exceptional, especially the Italian pizza, which is the best in Maldon. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this restaurant.

My friends and I eat at the Salt restaurant in Maldon last night. We had a great time, the service was fantastic and very attentive. I’m gluten free and has the best pizza I’ve ever eaten out before. I would recommend eating out in this restaurant and will be coming back again.

Been wanting to come here for some time Was a Lovely evening, very nice food indeed.

Meal was over £300 and looked like it had been warmed up and microwaved .meat platter was burn and dry . Peppercorn sauce was like gravy the Prosecco was flat had to ask for new bottle to be opened . The nicest thing about the meal was the waitress . Has gone downhill and won’t eat their again

Staff were great fun, very welcoming and friendly.

Wow, this place was amazing, great food, Amazing COCKTAILS

Excellent Italian food with great service

Had a lovely birthday meal here - totally loved the Rib Eye!

Cracking little pizzeria here and the fresh tuna salad was lovely!

Amazing food and service would highly recommend

Wow where do I start. The gentlemen , who since it has opened, was extremely aragent , looked totally bored and showed no interest in the clients. Hope fully it was an off day but I don't think I will return. The food was substandard and had to ask for a replacement meal of which was charged on our bill! When pointed this out the waiter agreed without even looking at the bill. I asked for a medium wine and he turned , walked away and returned with the most expensive wine on the menu. No interaction, suggestion, or polite conversation. I was also very suprised that a tip was applied to the funal bill. I assumed maybe wrongly that a party over 5 was expected to pay a service charge. Very disopointed with the overall service. Expected better

Great food. service was good but needs a little attention some things were forgotten and we had to ask for sauces and drinks.

A very friendly staff. Offered quick service and recommended choices of food . Pizzas are light and very well made. Celebrated my eldest daughter birthday. Staff made the occasion so special. We overstayed by 15 minutes but they were very accommodating . I appreciated their kindness. Definitely will go back with my family again.

Absolutely brilliant. Staff and food fantastic

Lovely meal at Salt. Food always fantastic and service excellent.

Amazing staff, food and service

Very nice late lunch with a very happy daughter would recommend to anyone

Delicious food and great service!

Nice food, good service but a bit expensive. This is Maldon and not London. It would be 5 stars if they had a menu for children, a £2 dedication on the adult meal price is not accommodating for families children.

Another amazing experience at salt restaurant. Fabulous atmosphere, great food and fantastic service.Highly reccomended.our whole family and friends felt so welcomed !!!

Our server was Lily, and service was fantastic. The food was outstanding! My wife and I had the meat platter between us and it was enormous! Ended up taking some of the steak home with us. Would absolutely go back!

First time here , our waitress Lily was amazing and so was the food!

If you're a bit of a foodie and looking for a great pizza, this is the place!

Our waitress Lilly was fantastic, very attentive without being over the top. Beautiful food and surroundings.

Great service tonight especially from CLAUDIA

Great service, Giovanni looked after us very well, lovely atmosphere

Amazing food. Had catch of the day and had the manager Giovanni came and de-boned it at the table. Amazing touch. Had 3 courses and all were amazing. Litsa served us and she was great at her job. Can’t wait to come again

Daisy was brilliant, brilliant service, lovely food. Perfect thank you

Daisy was very attentive, incredible table side service. We would recommend coming here.

Outstanding. I am not an "easy" grader either. You should choose this place if you would like an affordable but excellent meal. Party of 3, had a range of different mains, and a Caprese salad. Truly exceptional - and not expensive. It's a proper restaurant with proper service & real Italians, and it was fab.

This evening we went out for dinner as a birthday treat. Food was delicious, service was a little slow to start off with but did get better. We were served by Emily, who was attentive and polite.

Visiting Maldon and popped in as looking for a restaurant on the off chance. Place looked inviting and met with friendly staff who were amazing throughout. Food was superb and good prices Would definitely visit again. Thanks

Visited with my family today; there was 8 of us and we had the absolute loveliest time. Staff were incredible, kind and helpful. The food was so tasty, and the decor was very modern and inviting. We may be over an hour away but we will definitely be returning! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Claudia was amazing host and the food was great.

Claudia looked after us beautifully! A lovely evening.

Great atmosphere will definitely return. Service from Claudia was excellent

Daisy was an amazing waitress very nice

Always a pleasure - Giovanni is very nice

Busy and friendly atmosphere for a Friday eve. Food was great

Fabulous evening, we love our waitress Claudia. Thank you

EXCELLENT! Food, surroundings and service. Absolute find!!!!! Thank you all at Salt for our lovely lunch. We will be back for dinner!

Unreal! The food the service and atmosphere

Was recommended this place a lot so gave it a go for what was supposed to be a special meal, we waited around 5-10 minutes for someone to come and seat us, there were 3 other tables so not sure why it took so long with so many staff looking at us before coming over, the waiter literally threw the menus on the table, looking at other reviews I can see it’s the same bald man that others have been complaining about for months, he was clearly bored and uninterested in taking our order or providing any service and was very rude to us all. I had the sea bass with mash, it was all incredibly salty, the mash was a very strange texture so I didn’t finish it, the other meals of pizza and pasta were fine, dessert of tirimisu was nice and wine was good. We won’t be going back due to the way we were treated, sub par food and expensive bill.

The food was beautifully cooked, atmosphere was lovely. Daisy was so attentive and really helpful ☺️ would highly recommend

Claudia was a brilliant waitress

Really great food and service. Booked for a birthday and sorted cake, etc. was our first time coming here and def will be back

Came in for father's day. Was absolutely wonderful. Food was incredible. Had the seafood linguine and the pistachio creme brule and it was gorgeous. Will be back.

Claudia was very friendly and very welcoming always made sure we enjoyed the food

We had a Monday evening in Maldon with our kids on an inset day and stopped for a pizza to finish the day. Service and food were delicious, friendly and helpful staff, a real buzz in the restaurant for a mid week evening too. Really great evening and we will be back. A great addition to Maldon high street.

Excellent service from Claudia 😍 Thank you!

Fabulous service from Claudia!! And delicious food 😍😍
