Nice place just next to the cinema so very convenient. A little disappointed with the service, they all friendly but not very attentive. We got the starters and drinks quickly but the main didn’t come for an hour and we had to ask the waitress to check with the kitchen. Waitresses didn’t ask if the food was good or if we need anything else. Food was average, spaghetti bolognese and pizza were ok but nothing special. Probably not gonna go back.

Went for a visit to the cinema next door, planned on going to Nando’s but they were shutting at 8pm as it was New Year’s Eve so Prezzo got our business instead. I’ve always like the vibe in here and the food, there was a friendly welcome and although a bit busy they found us a table thankfully. The service was good, the food as always very nice, the ambiance and clientele were good also. Food arrived in good time, not the cheapest place but nice for a special treat. Only quibble is they grate the Parmesan with their hands which I find unhygienic especially in these health conscious times. A very nice evening.

Loud, slow and pretty poorly cooked and served Italian style food.If you like to go for a nice meal in load noise, kids everywhere and blokes dressed in tracksuits and sliders - this is the Italian style restaurant for you.My recommendation- have a Nando’s and save £50!

If the pizza oven isn’t working it may be an idea to A. not open your pizza restaurant or B. Tell people before they sit down and order drinks. Staff were unapologetic and quite frankly rude. Plenty of other places to eat nearby, definitely won’t be returning or recommending to anybody .

Despite it was delicious just a bit salty. I think that was two tablespoons of risotto rice or less then two. Very flat on a flat plate. And so expensive. £15.75

Decided to try one of the grill dishes ...saltimboca. Hard to believe they would serve wet cabbage soaking the large plate with water, blackened chicken ( grill not cleaned)... and a small shrivelled up piece of bacon which required investigation to identify...regret not taking photos...the staff were very good, 5 stars to them.Parking: Arrive early. Shared parking with cinema and takeaways.

A very good evening. The service was great. The atmosphere was OK, it was very loud and a bit cramped (on a two seater table).All the food was tasty, but with the price tag. Portions was very small.Overall, this is a fast food restaurant, made to feel high-end, enjoyable but at the cost there is better!.

Nice place, good food. Thes seem a bit understaffed, had to wait quite a bit to order and get the food.

Very expensive £16,95 for lasagne! £15 for spaghetti

The food was excellent, but that would be expected when they apparently took the time to birth, raise, and slaughter my chicken after I placed my order to demonstrate their commitment to freshness. Plus, I came in to celebrate my 46th birthday, and they saved me a tonne of time by allowing me to celebrate the next 3 birthdays while I waited for my main.They were slow. If you didn't get that. We were here for an hour before our main turned up. An hour and a half later and they still haven't taken our dessert order.I'm hesitant to order dessert, honestly, because I'm not sure I'll live to the next turn of the century to eat it. But my son's having one, so wish me luck.I'll update this review from my flying car after I've eaten it.Also, the toilets were awful. Don't fill the time waiting for your food with drinks. Trust me on this.TLDR: Food was great, but unfortunately nothing is worth THAT wait.

Lovely, family friendly restaurant. Staff was polite and accommodating.I really love the spicy prawns in tomato sauce that used to be on the menu, alas not any more. The waitress and the chef were fantastic in fulfilled my wish. It wasn't a problem for them at all.Thank you!

Arrived when restaurant was almost empty. Children had a starter of fried mozerella. Waited almost an hour from our arrival for main course to arrive (pizza and kids pasta). Told because children had a starter that delayed everything else. Despite being completely unjustifiable in the time it took, management sought to justify it. Learned my wife had a similar experience in last visit. Will never return. Very expensive for what it is as well.

Had a lovely meal. Lots of the menu, good quality food and excellent service. Subscribe to their newsletter and get a free bottle of prosecco, wine or two deserts!

Really not up to scratch. My friend ordered a prawn risotto that was so anaemic and watery that it looked more like porridge. He couldn’t finish it.I ordered the meat calzone and it came stuffed with peppers and chicken - it was more like a big fajita.It was served with some pizza-style tomato sauce for dipping but it was completely cold. Really not appetising.It’s also very expensive for what you get, with a large pizza costing the best part of £20.Save your money and go somewhere else.

Staff were lovely and friendly but had to apologise about the size of the portions. I'm 6ft 6inch and 105kg and the ravioli I ordered as a main barely touched the sides and should be served as a starter. Food in all was good but underwhelming in regards to portion sizes, we ended up spending nearly £200 on food and didn't get much for our money. I've loved eating at Prezzo for years now but am now slightly put off by the overpriced menu. Other members of the family enjoyed their food but I would say to anyone wanting to visit here that if you are hungry then stay away from the Risotto and the Ravioli as you will not be filled up! Next time I choose to eat at a prezzo I will be sticking to the pizzas for main course.
