The best restaurants serving Italian food in Brentwood South 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.

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.
