Prezzo

Poor quality food, staff that really don’t understand any English, not good

Tried Prezzo for the first time in over 6 years. The first issue was the layout of the restaurant — the tables are so close together it is uncomfortable. The service was good with friendly staff however despite being the only group in the place we had to wait a long time, over 30 minutes for the starter.
The food selection is very diverse from burgers to pizza and pasta. My only issue is with portion size, it was very disappointing and pricey for what you get.

This is one of the smaller Prezzo’s I have been to. The one in Winchester is bigger. This one is set over 2 floors. If you are upstairs then be prepared to be a bit squashed in. That said I do like the food! They have some really delicious pasta dishes which is nice as some Italian restaurants are a bit limited with their pasta choices. Always book as this place gets filled up quickly (probably because it can’t seat that many people). A few times we did have to send our dishes back to be re-​heated but not a problem., A lot of foreign staff that try to tell you the specials btu sometime lost in translation.

The Prezzo chain provides good value Italian food,. That said, there are some nice flavours on the menu, and each time I have eaten in any of their outlets, I have come away happy. Don’t expect grand cuisine — that’s not what they do. But Pizza, risotto, lasagne: all more than very acceptable.
This Prezzo is no exception. The layout of the restaurant is curious — clearly a converted house, but they have taken a huge area out of the first floor for the stairs meaning tables are squashed into the perimeter. However, once you are sat down it ceases to be a problem and is even an advantage as there are fewer tables together. Surprisingly, although we turned up at 6:30 on a Saturday night, the place was busy and we should have booked.
Service here could not be faulted, a meal for three with 3 starters, 3 main, 1 pud, a bottle of wine and service was £65 — pretty decent in my book and so earns a recommendation.
