Tutto Bene in Tendring

Fantastic restaurant, perfect ambience. Lovely welcoming staff , could not be more helpful. The food was absolutely outstanding and will be returning very soon .

We would have walked past as we were looking for a Sunday roast, but popped in on the off chance and boy are we glad we did. Lovely roast dinner dogs were welcome, staff were lovely couldn’t do enough for us, even the dogs got spoiled. !!!! Would we visit again damn right !!!!

Fantastic Sunday dinner, very dog friendly , provided dogs with water and left over bits of meat. Highly recommend. Food was delicious

Excellent service. Very good food , we ordered off the lunch menu which was very good value for money. Will definitely visit again. X

Recently moved back to Brightlingsea and was delighted to see an Italian restaurant had opened. Decided to try Tutto Bene with my family (group of 7) on a weekday for a birthday celebration. The service was incredible, and staff all super friendly. Had originally checked the menu online before our reservation (as we all do), however, my head was turned by the specials board, where I ended up ordering the mushroom gnocchi. All dishes were beautifully cooked and very reasonably priced. Between the group, we had ordered a variety of cocktails, which again were perfect. Thank you to all the staff for such a wonderful evening, and we will be back!

We called at 8pm to ask if we could come in for dinner as we knew the kitchen was closing shortly. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food came out piping hot, we both had steak which was cooked to perfection. Gorgeous little place, such a good find! £70 for two very large sirloins and two large glasses of wine. Absolutely highly recommend.

WOW decided to book early for Saturday , glad i did !! So busy for a Local restaurant , Absolutely amazing food and great cocktails !! Recommend the steak , best around , and the baked salmon with pancetta potato cake was to die for!!

Fabulous evening - food was fresh and well presented and tasted great too! Good sized portions and good price… lovely atmosphere we will definitely return!

It was a lovely dunner with high quality Italian food and really friendly service. Definitly worth a visit.

We were a party of ten that visited Tutto Bene for a family meal on a Saturday evening,the restaurant had a good atmosphere and everything from the service to the food was superb. I would recommend a visit and will definitely return.

Had a business meeting , as we were in Brightlingsea thought we would try Tutto new lunch menu. 3 of us eating We had a pizza . A Lasagne and a pannini All fantastic tasting and great value for money. Been for dinner a couple of times and Lunch just as great .

Popped in for their light lunch menu. Stacey, the front of house, was great, just enough chat but not too much. Food was good, my husband had lasagne and said it was one of the best he has had. My chips were just oven ready chips, I was expecting homemade and homecooked chips. The little salt and pepper pots let it down, I would have thought lovely tall grinders would have been more in character. On arriving at the restaurant, the tables are laid up with proper white linen napkins but are quickly removed once we were seated to paper ones!! I will go again and sample their evening menu

So my lovely girlfriends organised a birthday dinner as a surprise. The service and food was absolutely amazing and couldn’t recommend enough, I will definitely be coming back again soon.

What a gem of a place, went to meet some friends, staff were very welcoming and friendly. We started off in the back garden where they have an amazing pizza oven and the garlic bread was to die for, we then sat in the restaurant to finish our afternoon and had a lovely lasagne. Staff were knowledgable and helpful, nothing was to much trouble - thank you we will return soon!!

This Italian restaurant is perfectly placed in the high street of a small and quaint town the atmosphere inside very much reflects this, the wonderful service was very attentive and polite the brilliant manager was a delight and very quickly made both myself and my partner feel comfortable and the food, where do I start with the food I had the the pork belly bites which were impeccably seasoned with a lovely hunny glaze my partner had the Camembert and as a cheese enthusiast he seem to absolutely love it for mains I had the fillet steak tagliatelle on a bed or wild mushrooms it was perfect the creamy mushroom sauce was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten my partner had the fillet steak which was cooked exactly spot on to how he asked with chips peppercorn sauce and garlic mushrooms. I have to say we are very much looking forward to coming back here as someone who has worked in hospitality for years both in the kitchen and as front of house the entire experience was amazinggg

Had a fantastic night , amazing food , great team . Thank you we will be back . I look forward to brining my family here .

The perfect Italian fusion supper, great food, perfect service. Wine list not over priced. Would certainly book again. Excellent.

My daughter booked the restaurant, they didn't tell us the chef was on holiday till we was sitting. The barman done the cooking and it was terrible, never go there again.

Another great roast. Top quality sirloin of beef from Smithfield and sea bass bites tempura style as good as… Friendly service and stylish furnishing make you feel you have been somewhere special. Worth the drive from Clacton or Colchester then have a stroll along the...

As always excellent tasting food, portions perfect, and fantastic service. I would recomend that everyone try this resturant. One of the best!

My friend moved to Brightlingsea in November and we decided to book a table at Tutto Bene. Well we weren’t disappointed. The staff were welcoming and friendly especially Michael. The food was amazing too! We didn’t have room for a pudding.

This review comes after eating here several times since the restaurant opened - as a couple, a family with our children and also with friends. Every time the food has been excellent, the service attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Great Italian menu and...

Excellent service, couldn’t fault the food, everything was amazing! Would recommend to anyone! Also cocktails were 10/10 :)

Brightlingsea is very lucky to have a restaurant of this quality. We were celebrating my birthday and wanted something a little different to our usual choices. After deliberating we decided to experience what our local town had to offer, and we had yet to attend....

Delicious food, had a roast dinner and it was incredible. Service was excellent too, great addition to the town

Took my parents over to Brightlinsea to try this new restaurant and we were not disappointed! Beautifully cooked Sole , fantastic steaks and friendly staff . Will be back soon .

7 adults & an 8 month old baby had a wonderful lunch today. Food superb, staff attentive even with the baby. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely delicious food, friendly and welcoming staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend visiting and can’t wait to return .

Firstly I have to address the previous review. I couldn’t disagree with it more as I was there 3 days ago on a table of 8 with friends and family and can honestly say I could not fault a single thing! The setting was wonderful!...

Service poor, food over cooked or raw and had to replace two meals over a third of meals on the menu were unavailable. Appetiser arrived after starter and a really poor show all around and would not recommend

Just paid a visit to this new addition on the High Street and what a wonderful surprise awaited us beyond the front door - very welcoming hosts and a menu which was different and exciting! Lovely wine menu with really nice wine glasses all added...

Sophisticated evening in this small Essex town, unexpectedly good menu and vibe, well dressed and lovely Sicilian menu. Not the usual bland Italian menu, beautifully cooked chicken livers replaced boring pate, and the calamari was a huge step away from the breadcrumbs usually served for...

We were treated to our first (but definitely not our last!) visit to Tutto Bene last night. I honestly felt like I was on holiday; somewhere along the Amalfi Coast! The ambiance of the restaurant is so wonderfully calm yet super efficient, with lots of...

Excellent experience. I have been WAITING for someone to come in and turn this place into a classy dining experience and wow have they done that. Gives me a taste of my favourite Italian restaurant in Mayfair. Owners and staff are beautiful and the food...

Just been (for my birthday, hint hint) to Tutto Bene and it was brilliant. In my opinion a fantastic place for a treat (like my birthday, hint hint), we had some severely good food there tonight. Highlights include de-veined prawns (in my experience this is...
