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

Great authentic Italian food and wonderful service.

Went for the fourth time to this very special and friendly restaurant. The food is always delicious and it really feels like eating in Italy! Can't wait to go back.

I had Christmas menu, my little celebration for 1 Super service and food. Staff were very attentive. Thank you

We really love this restaurant. It feels authentic and offers a few hours of Italian escapism and wonderful food. There is a great range of fresh fish as daily specials so makes a great restaurant choice for fish lovers. I always have the fillet steak with one of the sauces and it’s always a great size and remains great value for money… it is rare you can find a fillet steak for under £35 these days, but they are all under £30 here. Beautiful hot bread upon ordering, lovely family service and good Italian wines that are also reasonably priced. We think it’s excellent value for money and a great Italian treat!

Attended for a meal. There were tables not cleared and been like it for a while, even though the place was not busy. Service very slow, cleared table before everyone had finished their meal and asked if dessert menus required when people still eating. Not able to provide change when paid cash and still added 10% service charge. Very poor and would not recommend even though food was very nice

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.

Fabulous food, freshly cooked. If you want proper Italian food, I recommend it. I had seafood spaghetti and the shellfish were all cooked perfectly. It’s obvious that quality ingredients are a priority. The wine was excellent too. A bit on the quiet side so no need to book.

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"!

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

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

Katie was a brilliant server, food was amazing and great service all round. Would love to come again

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!

Good service, good food, staff helpful only thing with delivery is the doors are always open so gets cold in side
