Sanfranco in Colchester

Honestly THE BEST! Bolognese Sauce I have EVER had not to mention the great specials that are always changing!

My friends and I had a really nice meal here. The food was delicious, and very nice wine. All for a reasonable price. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating; the restaurant had a very homely feel about it.

Best wood-fired pizza in Colchester. The Italian manager Giorgio is extremely helpful, nice and accommodating. Generous portions. Italian "pizzaiolo". Fusion Mediterranean cuisine, fresh ingredients, wonderful white wine from Calabria, and delightful "limoncello"!

They are really nice and the food is amazing! Totally recommend!

Dreadful meal and no idea where on earth the high scores are coming from. Embarassing - family left all of it. Seafood pasta (£30 something) contained prawns best suited in a Prawn cocktail, a very obviously cryogenically frozen mushy King prawn and clams which didn't taste fresh (and I wouldn't swallow). Didnt bother trying the rest. Tomato base sauce watery and bland. Meatballs watery and flavourless (caveat garlic), Penne pasta was same. Carbonara was marginally better. Scallops to start were OK. Service was friendly, but language barrier with servers felt a bit awkward. Worst of all, just shy of £135. Don't mind paying for a good meal and regulary eat out in Colchester / London. However l, wouldn't have paid £50 all in for what we had as it would have remained uneaten.
