The best restaurants serving Italian food in Thurrock East of England

An outstanding cafe , run by the loveliest people . First discovered this cafe when we were arranging our wedding and visited the nearby cake shop ( which incidentally supplies the cafes cakes ) . Breakfast is very good , perfect poached eggs and very well presented . Coffee is excellent and we usually leave with take away cake . The staff are very efficient and very lovely

It started with a guy doing balloons in the car outside and ended with a drug deal in the middle of the road as we were pulling away. Not the restaurants fault to be fair but it gives you the idea of what a sh*t hole the area is. Now the food. Carbonara was bland , beef rags over cooked and dry and pizza was average but a bit light on toppings. 1 st impressions was to leave wish we had. It was recommended by a guy I play football with. DC thanks mate it’s a carsey ! Never give me a recommendation again please.

Zim was amazing and provided us with a great service at the lakeside restaurant. If you ever come to eat and have him as your waiter you will not be disappointed. Really accommodating and chatty and all round genuinely nice gentleman. Thank you for looking after Nan and I on our Christmas lunch together. :)

Great food at a great price and impecabile served by Maria. Prompt service and great atmosphere. Not sure about the robot tho…I hope it’s useful for waiters cause it looks a bit creepy for me..

Rosmary on cold chips. Who knew that was a thing? Plus no green on one order with slimy pasta. Yuck

Good food but service could be better

Absolutely delicious and the portions were really generous. Unlikely to go anywhere else after this. I had the buttermilk chicken rice bowl and it was as lovely as I've had in any restaurant. Less than £7 and I am full and happy. Lots of gluten free choice too.

Metimos por mi Pasta Bar, mientras que las tiendas en Lakeside. La selección es buena y los precios también son estupendas. Sin duda merece la pena parar por algún helado con aioli a caminar por el complejo comercial con!

Very good Variety of Pizza's and they are not too expensive.
