The best restaurants serving Italian food in Colchester East of England

This is a good option if you don't want to cook and if you really like Italian style 😉 The staff are really nice people and hardworking

Such a fabulous evening. It's was a birthday celebration and the staff really made it special. They made my husband's favourite dish especially for him! Can't ask for more than that!

Distinctly average food, coupled with pretty poor service. The front of house staff was rather dismissive… didn’t crack a smile once and wasn’t accommodating when asking for a drink that was clearly possible based on available ingredients. A shame, as it looked to be a promising authentic Italian, but didn’t deliver on expectation.

Best Bread Ever!!! Great Food, lovely service, stuffed! 5*

I used to visit this restaurant frequently prior to Covid lockdown. I’ve finally managed to come back again as I always enjoyed the food and the service. I’ve realised this was a big mistake! Poor slow service with only 3 tables that had clients. I was finally the only client but that didn’t make the service faster. I believe it’s under new management? The pizza has been watered down. No glimpse of tomato sauce on magherita pizza. I am really disappointed and I’ll be not coming back here again.

Booked via their booking app - got confirmation via email - arrived promptly only to find it was shut! But of a joke really !

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"!

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

Very nice tasty breakfast. Can get quite busy but plenty of space.

The food is really nice, and the staff is very attentive.

Great fresh pasta with tasty pasta sauce to accompany. Very nice family lunch with all of our meals being very tasty with generous portions. Pasta done to perfection

Had lunch today, possibly the worst miserable waitress I have ever known. Food was really nice but she let the whole experience down.

I ordered a Fiorentina pizza for collection. It was ready on arrival and piping hot. The base was well cooked: some depth but not too thick, with a lovely crisp crust. The egg, spinach and slight saltiness from the olives were a lovely combination. Very tasty!

We came to Colchester Dough & Co as we had been given a £60 gift voucher from Dough & Co headquarters for 3 absolutely disgusting takeaway meals from Maldon Dough & Co shop. Burgers not cooked properly, didn't get dirty fries we ordered, just cold chips. Maldon manager refused to deal with us, so went to headquarters instead, who were very helpful. Vowed never again to go to Dough & Co in Maldon and so we ventured to Colchester one instead. Wow, what a complete difference I am glad to say. Service was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent, the garlic bread was divine, soooo good. The rest of our meals were really good too. Would definitely recommend Colchester Dough & Co and will definitely go there again! But don't bother going to Maldon Dough & Co unless you want food poisoning!

Tried to make a delivery order, requested to speak to manager when we was denied & MEENA left the phone unhooked when we asked to speak to a manager…she spoke in the rudest manor and used a rude voice saying ‘theeeyyy waaant to speaaak to the MAANaagGerrrr’ very rude & disgusting attitude. We then decided to pick up and the same MEENA took our order and rolled her eyes and had a chip on her shoulder…could never be my employee. I empathise with the poor staff at feering dominoes who have to endure little miss MEENA.
