Best Italian Restaurants in Chigwell

The best dinner in ages. Every course was delicious. The Parmesan butter with the sourdough, I could have eaten that for seconds. The lasagne lived up to the hype, the garlic bun was crisp and so garlicky and rocket salad was simple but the perfect side. Yum. I hate tiramisu but decided to try it and I’m so glad I did as it was perfect along with the chocolate sorbet. Loved the little venue and the staff were all welcoming. Wished the deli was open when we came as I’d definitely have been taking some bits home with us.

This was our 3rd visit since Christmas. We are not locals, it takes us 45 minutes to get there but it is 100% worth it. The staff are great, they are attentive but not over the top, your wine glass is never empty. We first took our Grandchildren for lunch just before Christmas, they live in Abridge so a great discovery for us, we then took friends in January and family in February, everyone has really enjoyed the experience and will all go back. The food has always been amazing. This is a gem of a place.

Was not sure whether to give it 3 stars. The staff is lovely and the ambiance is really good, but the food is not mind-blowing. The bread leaves a lot to wish for and it took 30 minutes for them to bring our second course, which made us quite impatient... None of the staff apologised or acknowledged this was the case. I had a hard time finding actual meat in the cotoletta we were served which was essentially just a big block of breaded fat... The pasta was very good. Cocktails were ok. I'd say go for the vibe and maybe the pasta. Don't know that I'll be going back

Love this place every time. Great pizza and beer. Staff really friendly. Will always come back for more.

The food here really is exceptional
