The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

We never got the chance to eat here. Went on a Saturday with my wife at 2pm as noticed the restaurant closes at 3pm. We were told kitchen is closed and we had to leave. But what was annoying was the off hand way the message was delivered - go away basically they really weren’t bothered about us which is a shame as we are locals and would have used them quite a bit. New Italian opening in Ingatestone soon so they had better up their game and look after their (potential) customers !!

Visited for the first time with a group of friends. It was absolutely lovely and so reminded me of places we’d been to in Italy. It looks like a cafe but the food is amazing. We ordered wine by the carafe and ordered various pasta dishes which we all said were delicious. Simple, relaxed, friendly, unhurried, just what eating out should be. We will definitely go back again soon.

Woman’s attitude on phone was horrendous and then a man came and called a c*** on the phone. Don’t recommend

Went last night for the first time to celebrate a family birthday. The food was fantastic, staff could not have been friendlier or helpful. Reasonable prices too for Shenfield.. will definitely revisit !

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"!

We called in for lunch today and immediately were impressed with the friendly and welcoming staff. The cortado I had was out of this world and the toasted sandwich was the best I’ve had in a long time. Another feature I liked was the deli with its well stocked cheese. I will be back!

This amazing gem of an Italian is run and owned by an italian and the quality of food and wine showed, good service great food . We found out that you can get great coffee and food during the day also as they owned Poliano that was over the road so we will be back again definitely .

Had two lunches while at Millbrook. Both fish & chips and chicken & bacon salad were rather good. Other dishes looked pretty good as well, although have not tried them.Efficient and friendly service. Enough seating and convenient parking. Both days were reasonably busy with quite a few regulars.Certainly a place to visit in the area.

Me and my partner came here for a romantic dinner, I've ordered pizza quattro stagioni, Amazing, my boyfriend has ordered linguine alla sarda😋 I'm very happy that they are open again, definitely we will be back!!!

Nice Christmas lunch with singer. But plates and food cold; Turkey seemed pre-sliced (rather roasted whole on premises). Salmon portions varied enormously. Coffee brought in a mug (no sugar or milk jugs). Singer noisy during meal and then didn’t sing between courses or at the end of the meal - strange timing. Friendly staff but seemed inexperienced. Hard to park.

If you like your coffee don’t come here, you’ll be disappointed. This place presents itself as a proper coffee place, with 5 options of roast and origin and such. But what’s the point when all the espresso is under-extracted and the Americano tastes like dishwater? Cappuccino is the same: the coffee flavour is completely lost in the milk. And what kind of coffee specialist only serves in paper cups, even for sit-in?

Website doesn't exist, and no comments since May 2019. Must be shortest lived restaurant ever ! Anyone been there ?

This is a little vegetarian / vegan gem in Littleport. I would highly recommend for brunch, lunch and dinner. Great service.

Muy buen servicio al cliente y buena comida. Voy aquí con mis amigos a menudo y el propietario es muy agradable. Yo recomendaría ir aquí.
