The Forest Cafe in Brentwood

Visited on Friday evening with friends. We booked a table for 5. On arrival we were given the choice of 2 tables which were both for 4 people. We chose what seemed the area less cramped and they added an extra chair on the end of our table. Ordered food and drink. I had the antipasti and my friends had mussels. The meats looked very pretty but they were dry and hard. The mussels were slimy and sauce was watery and no flavour. Steak was bland, lamb cutlets were ordered medium these were overcooked. Sea bass was flavourless and not fresh fish. Waitress brought the bill at the end of meal and asked if we enjoyed. We said not really. She said she had never had these complaints before and stormed off! If you don’t want feedback then you shouldn’t ask. If you want a gorgeous home cooked Italian meal visit Ciao Bella in Romford. Service fabulous, food divine and wonderful atmosphere. Followed by a complimentary limoncello.

Lovely dinner with the family, thank you Poppy for amazing service and being so friendly. Lovely food, great company, fab service. Thank you!

Order from prezzo from time to time mainly when there is a deal on through one of the many delivery sites. The pizza is always great quality and tasty and they have white pizza Bianco options that I really like. The garlic bread with caramelised onion is always lovely too, this said if we had to pay full price I would buy elsewhere as there are various pizza options locally. But if there is a deal and its the same price I would recommend you give it a try.
