The best restaurants serving Italian food in Cobham and Downside Elmbridge South East

As a South African I really wanted to enjoy Frego since it has SA options on the menu. Sadly the Frego smash burger is the worst burger I’ve ever eaten. The meat was either off or strange mix of meat since it tasted gamey/tangy! I took one bite and couldn’t eat any more. My wife also took a bite and agreed something wrong with the meat. The bun was chewy as if it was stale and had water splashed on it and microwaved. It’s two meat patties, red onion and a sauce, so predominantly just meat, which was awful. My son’s chicken wrap was good and wife’s salmon Poke bowl was ok. We had different staff for order, deliver and then payment. They efficiently cleared my burger, which clearly was 80% not eaten. Expected the staff to ask if there was an issue, but no comment and focussed on efficiently clearing plates. Complained at payment and the server just thanked us for the feedback. Staff are either poorly trained or don’t care!

Great Costa located in Cobham High Street, all that you would expect from a Costa, great coffee, good choice of sandwiches and cakes, plenty of seating with outside seating at the back.

The food was the best I've ever had at a Pizza Express restaurant. Extremely friendly, kind, polite & helpful staff. Easy parking, disabled access & free WiFi. We saved £30 by each member of our party checking in, entering the table number & claiming our individual rewards via the Pizza Express App. Highly recommend! 10/10

This was a group Cafe Bridge meeting including lunch. Lunch, the wine and coffee were very expensive. £14 for a glass of Sauvignon blanc. The service was poor. Obviously not used to serving several tables at once. We had pre ordered. We waited 10 minutes after our pasta dishes were served, for Parmesan and condiments. Not appropriate for this gathering. No choice given - pasta only despite paying a premium. Service charge 13.5% excessive.
