Prezzo Italian Restaurant Lakeside West Thurrock, Grays RM20 2ZN

"Lovely food at lunch time today. Good autumnal options added to the menu. Would recommend the truffle Mac & cheese! Great advise re. my tastecard also!"

"This was the last restaurant located next to Vue Cinema, along the broadwalk. Went to Prezzo as a party of 2 for early Dinner, about 5 pm on the 2nd of May 2022. We were seated at a very nice table, away from the masses, so had plenty of space . Elena was our server. We ordered the Seabass and the Tre Carni Calzone accompanied by House fries, Caffe Latte and Apple juice. I asked for my Calzone to be made spicy with red chillies and that was done. The sea bass was very nicely cooked as was my Calzone and both were presented nice and hot. It was a really enjoyable dining experience. Well done and a big thank you to Elena for her great service which added to our enjoyment."

"Slow service, no checking how our meals were & my sons kids pizza had more meat on it than mine. Paid an extra £1 for mozzarella on his garlic bread starter which came out smaller than the size of my palm and had to ask for his dessert again which still hadn't arrived by the time we finished ours (apparently the ticket hadn't gone through but bit strange when all the desserts were ordered at the same time?) The chap on the door was only seen sitting a couple of people down the whole time we were there otherwise didn't appear to be doing much work at all. The restaurant wasn't even half full so no excuse for slow & poor service. Certainly wouldn't be rushing back there."

"I attended the restaurant on a windy weekend day lunchtime. The place was empty but it had just opened to be fair. We had a choice of tables where we opted for a booth. Although there were a 8 or so to choose from we were shown to the one with a ripped seat and some sort of sticky residue on the table from what appears to be a sticker. Cutlery was clean and the table well prepared. Staff appeared friendly and talkative and ordered were taken quickly l. Food arrived hot but starters of prawn and squid appeared a bit tasteless. I ordered a Coke but was given a Pepsi. The waitress never confirmed this which is a big no no in my book. Mains of spaghetti carbonara was nice but chicken was a little dry. The other main being a chicken burger. This was dry and the edge of the lettuce inside the bun was brown on the edge indicating it had been hanging around a while. Prices are fair for the items presented. With the points raised I’ve given them a good 3 stars, but with a few little things it could easily be a 4."
