Best Italian Restaurants in Earls Colne

Excellent food served with a smile. Attention staff and always a pleasure to dine here.

We went for the Valentines Day lunch which was wonderful, as always. I ordered the Valentines chocolate box on line when booking. I was hoping the chocolates would arrive at our table as a surprise for my wife. When I mentioned chocolates at the end of our meal our waitress had no idea what I was talking about and brought a senior colleague who also had no clue. Eventually he found the item and shew it to me on his phone and said I needed to order it as an extra, which I had done. So no surprise, eventually they said there will be no charge for the chocolates - which was kind, but the moment had passed. Staff training on 'specials' would be the way forward.

The overall experience was really great. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was excellent. I thanked the chef as it was my birthday treat from my friends.

We chose this as a convenient half way stop between Norfolk and Kent. Chose it because we all like Italian food. Easy to book online. Convenient parking nearby. Very friendly welcome. All the staff were very attentive. Food was excellent and good choice. Would definitely recommend and will use again. It was worth the slight detour off the M11.

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
