Visited with colleagues for lunch. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Service was good. Food however was disappointing we were there for a quick lunch so just had the baguette but these were poor. The lumps of tomato in the baguette were simply too big a larger tomato had been cut up into quarters. The mozzarella was straight from the fridge and too cold so had no flavour. The chips were frozen chips not fresh hand cut.

We often find ourselves in this restaurant because we are never disappointed: all of the team are friendly and welcoming, the food is always of a high standard and the choice is extensive. I would recommend: pollo milanese (my favourite) and linguine pescatore (my husband's favourite.)

We don't normally venture into Chelmsford for a meal but wanting to try somewhere new, we did and wished we had not.
The meal was not as good as bigger chain Italians and definitely nowhere as good as Vita Bella. The Gnocchi and the Risotto Verdi were both averagely bland whilst the Chicken with ham and cheese was quite tough due to being grilled too long. When settling the bill, the waiter insisted on a cash tip rather than increasing the debit card payment !!

Went for a family birthday meal and we had a lovely experience, the food came out really quickly even though there was 6 of us and it all looked fresh and presented well. The staff made sure we were happy and attentive. Would definitely go back.

Ideal location for Chelmsford theatres. Extensive menu with authentic dishes and a good range of pizzas. Nice atmosphere, good food, reasonably priced. Worth revisiting

My first visit to this Italian, as someone who travels to Italy regularly, the food served here is really authentic Italian, a really friendly atmosphere and the food is not overpriced, good service, just the right amount of wait time, the house red is superb, I will definitely visit again

lovey first impression of restaurant, starters came we were very impressed they were delicious, then the main dish - POLLO ALLA CREMA
Supreme of chicken breast served with cream, fresh tarragon sauce - well this was not a supreme (no bone) it was flattened chicken with carrots and soggy sprouts and over salted potato scallops in a tasteless grey sauce - would not return

Came here for a pre theatre dinner and chose it because of its proximity to the theatre. Very good menu with a lot to choose from. The food came quickly (they asked if we were going to the theatre) - the mains came out whilst our starters were being cleared. Normally I wouldn't like this but as we were seeing a show this was ok. Food very good and reasonably priced. Would come here again.

We were a large party of eighteen and had pre-ordered the first two courses. Our table wasn't quite ready but we didn't have to wait for more than ten minutes.All meals were served together and were hot and as ordered. The food was good and well presented. Everyone was happy with their choices and the desserts were very good. The service was friendly and efficient. Good value too.

18 of us went for dinner last night (Saturday 27th Jan). We had a superb night.
The staff were great - always there if you needed something and very cheery & fun.
My Monkfish main course was perfect - a beautiful piece of fish, cooked just right and am dente veg to go with it. I had excellent profiteroles for desert - exactly as expected in an Italian restaurant - not like eating cardboard as is often the case elsewhere.
Absolutely fabulous night. Thank you Ill Palazzo team.

Extensive menu, so much choice, it was difficult to choose. However the quality of the food was superb

We had been meaning to go here for a while since it had changed ownership. Not sure why we left it so long.
We had the £12.95 set lunch which was great value. All dishes were cooked fresh and our mains came up with lots of more fresh vegetables. Not sure why one of the recent reviews refers to pre cooked packet/brakes bros meals as all of ours were some of the best we have eaten for a while like most of the other customers.
Highly recommended.

The service was excellent and the food very nice. I did have one complaint, I ordered a risotto and was very disappointed when it came out with LOADS of peas which were not stated on the menu. I hate peas and couldn't even pick them out because there were so many. Luckily my fella loves them and swapped meals with me or I would have very embarrassingly had to order something else or go hungry! I explained this to the waiter who apologised. I so feel like these things should be stated on the menu considering all the other items were yet there were more peas than anything else! However the meal I ended up eating was fantastic and my other half really enjoyed the risotto
