The best restaurants serving Italian food in Southend-on-Sea East of England

Well this place closed up last year 2021, so there is no food, no drinks, No menu, no phone, its been sold off and long gone, so better to go somewhere else as you can't go here

I'm Italian and quite fussy and often feel underwhelmed when eating in Italian restaurants. Not this time. I visited with my partner, we had a nice whitebait starter and then two plates of pasta, both were delicious. I had the linguine mussels, prawns and chillies and my partner had the linguine with cream of courgettes and prawns. The pasta was cooked to perfection and both sauces were to die for. We even asked for some bread to mop up the sauces (la scarpetta) as they were just too delicious to leave. We had a lovely Campari spritz as an aperitif and a very nice glass of house white. Angela who served us was very welcoming. A really nice experience and I'll definitely return when I'm in the Thorpe Bay area. I highly recommend.

What a gem! Having driven by this place a number of times, I finally had an opportunity to pop in this Saturday afternoon. A friendly, welcoming place full of happy dogs, happy people and tasty home cooked food.

I use them all the time, lovely food, orders always correct, delivery drivers are lovely, fantastic.

Lovely Italian Restaurant close to The Cliffs Pavilion. Staff, food, atmosphere just totally fantastic. Recommend 1000%

This is a little gem of an Italian restaurant. I cannot speak highly enough about the amazing food & superb service. Would definitely recommend it as the atmosphere is perfect for couples or groups.

Had a lovely meal for my birthday

Very nice coffee and Pizza on a casual chat with good environment, friendly staff, nice chat with owner Georgino, will be going there again sure,

Always a favourite! Excellent italian food, amazing attentive service by Jolanta this evening, and beautiful solid authentic interior and decor. I usually have the ragu pasta sauce but went for the seafood pasta with gluten free penne and it didn't disappoint. Other half had pizza with buffalo mozza and nduja ...fresh basil on top. Starter - had the GF DF octopus fennel salad. Not usually keen on octopus but this was so fresh and the dressing was lovely. Quality of food is really good, if you've not been - book a table and see for yourself. *(Would love it even more if they did GF pizza but appreciate that may require a seperate pizza oven....can't have it all lol! ;)

Great service had really good time here, would recommend

Brilliant restaurant, feel really safe there during the Covid 19 virus. Fabulous food and excellent service

Just had a takeaway from here and was greatly disappointed. The chicken was hard and inedible. The garlic bread was unpleasant to eat. Waste of over £50 will not be ordering again.

Food was really nice and tasty Shane the waiter is rude off and totally not helpful - would go back definitely as the food was lovely but won’t because waiter was rude with no customer service skills

Not great value for money , food was bland , service diabolical, really dissapiinred

delivery rider didn't read the instructions properly went to wrong entrance to flats, when got my order coffee lid wasn't on properly bag was wet when tasted coffee it had sugar in it, very disappointed with the service today
