The best restaurants serving Italian food in Brentwood East of England

We went again this week with different friends. Last week one of our party said his sirloin steak was up there with the tastiest he has ever had. Everything was spot on. Not sure about the previous review, we all had the breaded chicken with different spaghetti and sauces and all four were delicious. The mussels special starters were excellent. A decent wine list as well. A lovely family run experience and super value as well. Thank you to all involved.

Came on a Saturday night, no booking as we walked past and thought it looked nice Service was good , food wise we ordered the cheesy garlic bread as a starter with some Olives. It was the size of an actual pizza and really delicious. Olives were really nice too The dinners were hit and miss. The risotto was quite watery and wasn't all that if I'm honest but my partner had the bolognese and it was stunning It's quite boujee in there, nice decor to justify the cost but it was lovely and wouldn't stop us coming again

Bought a voucher for someone. They had a lovely meal and there was £15 left for a tip. They were told they couldn’t use it as a tip. They were not offered anything else for the £15 so lost it. They then had to leave a tip. We used to go regular but not going anymore 😞

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 !

The warmest welcome on arrival. Attentive service and friendly at all times. It’s classic service but so rare these days. We really appreciated it. Thank you.

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.

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.

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

So glad the café is back open, it closed for a number of months last year. It is great to stop by for tea & snacks/food after a long walk with the dogs in the morning. Both Sid (GSD) & Archie (Chihuahua) love getting their sausage treat and are welcomed. Good value for money, staff are extremely friendly and provide a great personal service. Thank you
