Several dishes in our group were served with soggy vegetables, far too wet, soaking the jacket potatoe. Making the meal unappetising. The pizza I had was ok. But the pizza menu used to be more varied so disappointing. Will be looking for a new favourite Italian restaurant in future.

Five of us went to Prezzo in Upminster and were underwhelmed by the service and the food. Granted it was midweek, but the whole point of going to a restaurant to eat it to be catered for. The table and ambience were fine. The service - although friendly, it was sloppy. We were caught between the two. Our waitress worked hard but wasn’t well supported by the Team. Our food was poor at best. Our starters arrived at different times which mean’t that some people were eating cold food. The main courses were a combination of over cooked or undercooked. I had the ‘mushroom risotto’ for a main. I’m sure it wasn’t but it couldn’t have been dried/packet food. The consistency was ‘thin’ and it had been most certainly heated/reheated in a microwave. I appreciate all venues are under pressure to reduce costs but there is no excuse to poor food quality in a restaurant - especially when a customer is expected to pay for it.

Food was really nice. Unfortunately the service was extremely slow and very little staff (only 2 serving)The one lady that served us was offish and didn't smile once. Shame as otherwise would of been brilliant.

Nothing special, food came up in good time but it was lukewarm and my other half had to send her one back.The chef cooked another one from scratch.Having to listen to screaming kids does not make for a relaxing time.For the price it has not got anything to make it any different from the competition and we won't be going back anytime soon.Parking on road available but not enough spaces and free after 18.30

A group of 4 of us visited for lunch on a weekday. It was quiet but cozy, and the waitress was nice. Food didn’t take long, and tasted good - we got a risotto, spaghetti, rigatoni and a vegan pizza. It all tasted good, however the food portions were frankly quite bad. The risotto especially was tiny, it was more like a starter than a main yet it cost over £17! We aren’t intending to come back, however we do love the Prezzos in Chelmsford.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Lacking in atmosphere. Food was OK, I've been served better quality in other Prezzo sites.Parking: Evening parking is restrictive with local council run carparks closing by 8pm. There is street bay parking if you are luck enough to obtain one as there are alot of other establishments nearby.

Took ages for a starter even though I was the only one dining. The base was impossible to cut, dough undercooked made worse by overloaded freezing cold tomatoes! Nothing positive to report!
Understaffed and staff didn’t listen to order correctly then left waiting for ages for a very underwhelming dessert. This is the third time we have been disappointed and the last.

Very clean and presentable. Food good. Service good. Lacking atmosphere but that is probably as I was there late lunch. Reasonable prices. Would go again.

We went for early Sunday lunch (9/7/23) and everything was great! Given a nice booth to sit in, drinks order taken quickly considering the young waitress was really busy. Wine n beer both perfect. Shared a starter and both had pasta mains and then shared a dessert. All was well presented and tasted lovely. We were delighted as sometimes Prezzo can be a bit disappointing but not this time. Well done to the chef and our lovely waitress. We will be back!

I had a vegan Spaghetti Bolognese which was covered in hard chopped up bits of rosemary! This was bizarre, as all I could taste was the rosemary which I had to try to take off and couldn't chew. Rosemary should not have been used in this way. I am not sure what the chef was thinking. Some basil would have been nice (which is part of a Bolognese sauce), as I believe it was quite bland on its own.

Nice staff but don't arrive too late as you'll miss the chef
