Great restaurant, we didn't go for a while after it opened but so pleased we have now tried it. Wonderful service and food fron this Italian, the chef is from Sicily and has worked at some top London restaurants and you can tell by the quality of the food. Servie is also top quality. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

A group of 11 went for an evening meal. The restaurant was half full. Took our order, and then had to wait around 45 mins for HALF of the starters to arrive. The other half came around 45 later. Mains then took another HOUR to come after our starters! Overall, the food was nice. But the service was very poor. 3 times we asked where our food was, and each time we were told 'it is coming'. No complimentary nibbles or drinks while we were waiting, and no explanation about why the food took so long. Oregano fries had no oregano Truffle potatoes had no truffle No complimentary bread/dips/salad that we usually get from almost every other Turkish restaurant we've ever been too

This is without a doubt, my FAVOURITE restaurant EVER! If you're a fan of Italian food or wanting to try the best roast dinner you'll ever have - this is the place for you. I have been coming here for years, and one of the things that always stands out is the consistency - not just in the food, but in the staff as well. The same friendly faces have been serving me for years, which really adds to the warmth and familiarity of the experience. The food never disappoints, but my absolute favourite dish is the Crab Linguine. It's simply divine - the crab is always fresh, and the pasta is perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sauce. It's the kind of dish that makes you savour every bite and wish the plate would never end. Their roast dinner comes in at a *very* close second, everything is cooked to perfection & is so, so delicious. It's worth noting that it's a two-hour round trip for me to get here, but it's always so worth it. In fact, this restaurant holds a very special place in my heart - it was where my husband and I had our very first date. The atmosphere is welcoming and cosy, making it the perfect spot for a special meal or a casual night out. Every visit feels like coming home, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone craving top-notch food. The staff truly makes you feel like part of the family! Thank you to James & all of the team at Quindici - you are truly amazing!

Absolutely love this place. I have been lucky enough to go twice this month and each the time the staff and food were amazing. First time was with a group of around 15 and second time group of 8 and everyone really enjoyed their food and said they would go back. Family fun, fresh food.

We came very late on Wednesday and the host was able to fit us in. What an amazing place been before had a great meal then. This time it was the food was amazing we could both not finish as the portion was so large but really tasty. The host and chef make this a must go to place. Great food lovely people. We visit from Edinburgh so can’t go regularly but would if we lived in the area.

A friend and I went for a meal last Monday 30th January. We arrived at 8.15pm and our order was taken very quickly, but not one thing was right. Both my friend and I ordered the vegetable and pasta soup, which on a positive note was delicious. However, my friend did not receive his at the same time. He waited patiently, then after ten minutes asked where it was. The waiter apologised, admitting he had forgotten. I had finished mine by then as my friend had asked me not to wait for him. For the main course, my friend ordered the vegan spaghetti bolognaise and I ordered pizza. My friend said his meal was tasteless and could have been hotter, and my pizza was barely warm, so I sent it back. I was promptly told that nothing could be done as the kitchen was closed (at 10 past 9?) so I mentioned that surely he still had access to a microwave. He commented that they don’t usually put pizzas in the microwave (Erm - I wanted it warmed up) but he did. For too long, though, as it was tough and inedible, so left it. We also asked for a jug of water. Along came a small jug despite there being two of us, and two dirty glasses, so we asked for two clean ones, which were then provided and should have been provided in the first place. Back to the jug, it was clearly a jug for one and not enough water for a whole glass each. For dessert, I ordered tiramisu and my friend ordered cheesecake, both of which were fine, but we had expected dessert spoons to eat with, not teaspoons… We had a 25% off voucher, which was why we chose Prezzo, but we will not be choosing the Buckhurst Hill branch again. The staff seemed in a rush to get rid of the customers who were left, so we didn’t order coffee, nor did we leave a tip, nor will we be returning, despite not being charged for the pizza I didn’t actually get to eat. Appalling service from a well-known and reputable chain.

I went to this restaurant last week, food was full of grease and overcooked. Staff not speak proper English. Terrible, no recommend at all.
