The best restaurants serving Italian food in Castle Colchester East of England

Honestly THE BEST! Bolognese Sauce I have EVER had not to mention the great specials that are always changing!

My friends and I had a really nice meal here. The food was delicious, and very nice wine. All for a reasonable price. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating; the restaurant had a very homely feel about it.

Food always good. Love their offers and staff efficient and helpful.

Dreadful meal and no idea where on earth the high scores are coming from. Embarassing - family left all of it. Seafood pasta (£30 something) contained prawns best suited in a Prawn cocktail, a very obviously cryogenically frozen mushy King prawn and clams which didn't taste fresh (and I wouldn't swallow). Didnt bother trying the rest. Tomato base sauce watery and bland. Meatballs watery and flavourless (caveat garlic), Penne pasta was same. Carbonara was marginally better. Scallops to start were OK. Service was friendly, but language barrier with servers felt a bit awkward. Worst of all, just shy of £135. Don't mind paying for a good meal and regulary eat out in Colchester / London. However l, wouldn't have paid £50 all in for what we had as it would have remained uneaten.

They are really nice and the food is amazing! Totally recommend!

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.

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 ?

Me and a group of friends we went to dinner on Wednesday night restaurant was almost full the manager sit us almost straight with a lovely welcome….the cocktails and the food was divine….

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!

We had a lovely evening, thanks to the great staff and food, on the eve of our wedding. Would highly recommend and we will be back!

Wanted to eat here for a while, tried calling to book table and number just cuts off. Sent them email to book table, they responded with one word CLOSED. If this is the way they treat their potential customer, then I am sure they will be closed permanently!!!
