The best restaurants serving Italian food in East of England

Fantastic building very clean and really nice atmosphere with brilliant staff and a great menu. Food was fantastic and plenty of it.

We've been to this restaurant several times over the years, mainly because it's convenient and our kids love the menu. Having said this, we've had some pretty bleak visits and I don't quite know why we return. I guess it's the lure of happy children and the option of using tesco vouchers. This evening was a real shocker. On arrival, the manager told us there would be no pizza available because the recent delivery of dough had been frozen. No, I'm not joking. This was despite several people close to us having garlic bread and other bread-based entrees. We were sat at a high table because we were told there were no other tables available. We were therefore surprised to find a more or less empty top floor when popping to the toilets. The food was actually pretty good but the service was painfully slow and you don't want to keep trying to get hold of a waiter to a) clear your table b) remind them a course hasn't arrived or c) ask them for a dessert menu. Tables weren't being cleared until they had to be used for new customers. I assume they are vastly understaffed as this seems to always be the case. A shockingly low level of pride and hospitality. We had a clear view of the serving hatch and the poor chefs must have been getting angry, the time it was taking for servers to get food, which had been sat there for ages. To top it all, the restaurant was pretty cold - almost as cold as the atmosphere. If you are in any kind of a hurry, avoid this place at all costs. Likewise, if you want to be felt special or wanted. The only saving grace of this car crash experience was the very helpful and polite tattooed barman who helped us out after we made a complaint.

Mi esposa y yo hemos estado en algunos restaurantes Prezzo en todo el país, incluyendo el de Peterborough. Hoy ( 29 / 10 / 24 ) mi esposa reservó una mesa para nosotros y dos nietos pequeños. Llegué para registrarme delante de los demás, se me mostró a una mesa y se le dieron los menús, así como se le preguntó sobre las alergias alimentarias. A la camarera se le habló de una alergia a los lácteos y a los frutos secos de los nietos, pero nada más se acercó. Cuando estábamos todos sentados, se tomó una orden de bebidas que tardó una eternidad en llegar. Mi esposa preguntó sobre lo que estaba disponible para alguien con alergias alimentarias y esta camarera no pudo responder. Otra camarera se acercó a la mesa y nos dirigieron al código QR del menú que trataba de explicar lo que se podía comer. La elección no fue muy inspiradora, particularmente para un niño de 6 años. Eventualmente hicimos nuestros pedidos que incluían entrantes y tuberías. Los titulares llegaron por los nietos, los nuestros un poco más tarde. Pasaron unos 15 minutos después de terminar los arrancadores antes de que se retiraran las placas. Planteé el problema del mal servicio a una camarera especialmente porque ahora estábamos teniendo una larga espera para el plato principal, solo para que nos dijeran que había problemas de personal y solo 3 personas en la cocina. Respondí con: ‘Estoy a punto de salir’, lo que no fue respondido. La red finalmente llegó y era bastante mediocre en sabor. Sin entrar en detalles, el servicio (estuvimos en el restaurante durante la mayor parte de 2 horas para el almuerzo! ) la calidad de la comida estaba bien. Mi esposa y yo no volveremos a este Prezzo en el corto plazo.

Food and service was extremely poor. Had to ask when the main meal was coming as we had waited such a long time. When the food arrived it was poor. My granddaughters Lasagna tasted strange, she did not eat it and I had to send my salad back, it was swimming in oil. Offered another option but when asked how long it would take told the other customers would have to be served first…..? So two hours later I left the restaurant without anything to eat. Will never go back.

I love the Salt & Good because you get to pick any type of food from another country like Italy, etc. It was a very cool experience and I would definitely recommend this place.

It once was a nice Italian chain-restaurant with a good kitchen which I visited every few weeks. Sadly that has changed dramatically over the last few years. Gone from good to bad to worse. Unfriendly waitresses, soggy, overcooked spaghetti for £18, and a salat I wouldn’t dare giving to my hamster was the upshot of my last visit. It will remain my very last visit. The manager did his best but not even he could save the evening. The restaurant is a poor shadow of its former glory. It’s a shame what greed can do…

Really delicious food, which tasted really fresh. Our waitress Natalie was so so lovely. Really happy, full of smiles and couldn’t do enough for us (including making our desserts!!) she made our afternoon so much better. Thank you Natalie. My little boy thought you were great and he loved the chocolate ice cream!!

A strange experience. When we arrived, we didn’t get shown to a table and were told to just sit anywhere. The waiter didn’t seem interested in taking anyone’s order and we had to get his attention numerous times to be served. There also seemed to be some staff meeting going on in the middle of the restaurant which made us feel like we weren’t supposed to be there. The food came quick enough once ordered but was cold unfortunately.

Brilliant food. Had many times (at least 20) great range - polite staff -excellent drink options .beautiful decor and building . All in all a fantastic dining experience for friends and families , or just anyone who wants to try Italian food (or indeed indulge again!!!)

Me and my family have had Breakfast/Dinner here many times and it's always been first class. The service, food, cleanliness etc has always been great. The staff couldn't be more helpful. :-)

Very disappointing. Food well cooked but completely bland. Several different dishes ordered but all very bland. Would not recommend.

I knew the meal was going to be rubbish when we managed to park right outside the restaurant.We arrived at 8 pm and the large restaurant was only a third full ,not great for a Saturday night .The veg soup to start with was taseless with no seasoning as was most of the food offering . To follow was the veal in a mushroom sauce , I have had this dish all over the world and I have never had the veal cut up in to small little pieces.Again no seasoning and tough, I left most of it , and on top of all this you have to order the vegetables separately, the sauteed potatos (cut up roast potatoes) could have been flavoured with some onion or rosemary to give them some flavour and the zucchini fritta was the worst I have ever seen or tasted, great thick slices with the fried covering falling off. No way is the chef Italian, my Nonna must be turning in her grave what is passed off today as genuine Italian cuisine. The local area is pretty and genteel and it deserves an authentic Italian restaurant, this is not it

Very disappointed with my experience in Prezzo's. Although we were first to arrive at the restaurant and a little ahead of our booked time, it was over 45 minutes before our starters arrived. The Mushroom & Mascarpone Arancini were a very unpleasant consistency and taste. My main meal of Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni equally disappointed. The cannelloni was rubbery, the whole dish was overcooked/ burnt and dry and there was little, if any evidence of either a béchamel or tomato sauce - just a thin layer of(dried out) cheese melted over the cannelloni. It was also only lukewarm. My friend's chicken dish had pink in the centre, such that she felt unable to finish it, once she discovered this. My only reason for not making a fuss was because I was out with (new) friends and di not want to spoil the evening by making a fuss.

I visited with a couple friends this weekend and can’t praise our waiting staff more highly. We were taken to a lovely table in the front dining area and our waiter was so helpful. Made recommendations and looked after us so well. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was freshly cooked and really tasty. Such a pleasant evening, thank you. Highly recommend - we will be back!

I went to this restaurant last week, food was full of grease and overcooked. Staff not speak proper English. Terrible, no recommend at all.
