The best restaurants serving Italian food in Billericay East Basildon East of England

Absolutely fabulous food and a great selection of wine. We were made very welcome as was Monty the spaniel who behaved himself impeccably. I need the recipe for the Rosemary, garlic and Madiera jus. Masterful!

Went here for a birthday, and the whole restaurant was empty. Nice big restaurant but was dead flies on window sills where we sat. Could do with a good clean. Staff looked bored and was behind bar drinking. Food was clearly just microwaved. Calamari was disgusting and raw. Would never visit again.

Just to mention to anyone looking to book this first rate restaurant there is presently a closed for refurbishment sign with no other details as to a reopening date. Hope its not too long as its always well worth a visit.

First visit and very impressed with food and service,large portions,cozy private booths seating arrangements,food arrived at an easy pace, (think of eating in Mediterranean) Which suited us, We arrived 6pm by 7.15 fully booked,3 chefs worked hard but as cooking fresh food it takes time.our starters of breaded mushrooms (huge) and coated Brie were excellent, our mains of veal ravioli and my carbonara were large,I had added chicken and in all honesty didn’t need it Only quibble is price of wine, most wines start at £30+ House red (Spanish)was ok but still overpriced.

A lovely meal and the services provided by Izzy was exceptional!

Very poor meal. Had to return 2 dishes as pasta not cooked, stuck together pasta, dish was barely warm. The second attempt was marginally better but not great. Very disappointing as previously had good meals at Ask in Billericay. Would not recommend. Staff were helpful and pleasant.
