We went for my other half's birthday on a Saturday night - a three course meal, bottle of prosecco and birthday being sung by the staff for a good price and the food being of high quality means we will definitely be back. The tipping point was a small glass of limoncello at the end of the meal. The major selling point here was the service, from coats being taken to prosecco being constantly topped up as well as each meal coming out as soon as plates were cleared. I highly recommend this place.

The food was lovely, we enjoyed everything we ordered and the menu had a good selection of dishes. The service was excellent and the staff are friendly. We will hope to go back in the near future.

Went here last night with friends, seated straight away menus brought over and drink orders quickly taken. Drinks arrived fast which is good but wasn't rushed for food order. Food was lovely with no complaints from us staff were friendly and attentive with out getting in our way. Over all a very nice dinning experience and would have no problem recommending this restaurant or visiting there again.

We have visited four times already and have never been disappointed. The staff are really friendly, service excellent and really good portion sizes. So much nicer than Zizzi, Pizza Express etc etc. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed our first visit here. Very friendly staff gave us a warm welcome. Bread, olives and oil were delicious. Huge portion of Lasagne was really tasty and incredibly good value at £7.95. Crab and Prawn linguine superb. Wine was reasonable, but the reason we will go back again is because the restaurant is an independent trying to compete with the chains through excellent service, value and great food. Great find for us!

Visited this new restaurant on Sunday. I always walked past the previous Italian restaurant situated here and thought how uninviting and drab it looked so I never went in. However, when I walked past this one (on my way to and from the train station), the decor looks chic and welcoming.
The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. The dish I had was delicious and my family agreed all their meals were excellent and very good value for money.
The service was very friendly and efficient without being intrusive.
In summary, I will definitely be returning and highly recommend.

Visited this new restaurant recently and I must say I was very impressed. The service was excellent from the start, with attentive, helpful staff. The menu has enough on it to please any number of palates and portion size was just right. I agree with other reviews that this is just what Chelmsford needed in the wake of the 100's of chain restaurants opening recently. Will definitely return.

Our first visit to Il Palazzo and we were very impressed. The service was very good and the selection and quality of food was first class. Such a difference compared with the restaurant chains that dominate Chelmsford.
Have already booked for another visit!

An excellent Italian restaurant that doesn't just rely on pasta and pizza. We have been watching Il Palazzo being fitted out for months but only got round to trying it today. What a great experience. My wife started with carpaccio, finely sliced raw beef fillet covered with flaked parmisan, capers and finished with extra virgin olive oil. It is one of my wife's favourites and she has never had it better even in Italy. She followed up with duck in a honey and star anis sauce. This could have been extreamely sweet but skilllful balancing of the sauce gave it a wonderful flavour. My frito misto was superb. Whitebait, calamari and zucchini cooked in a fine but gently crunchy batter. Superb. I followed with slow cooked lamb shank which just fell off the bone and with a sauce which didn't overpower it. We can't wait to return and try the other dishes on the menu. By the way though their menu is extensive they has a half dozen specials as well. This is an independent family run restaurant whose main premises ia in Southend. We met Sam who is charming and responsible for this location. The restaurant is attractively, comfortable and relaxing. We are delighted that a restaurant so good has opened 10 minutes away from our home.

i took my mum n dad and a friend here for a late Christmas get together last night, the reason being was that myself and mum n dad had been fortunate to be at the official opening and hadn't had a chance to revisit, and my friend had been wanting to try it out.
we were greeted very warmly at the door and seated straight away. we ordered a bottle of wine and a couple of beers whilst going through the menu, which is a difficult task as there are so many great dishes to choose from.the starters arrived quickly and very well presented, the same with the mains and dessert.
the staff were at all times attentive but without being claustrophobic andonce we had finished and paid the bill (which was MUCH less than we had thought) we were offered a complimentary shot of limoncello or bailys before we left. this was a very nice touch.
hands were shaken, hugs were given and we left feeling nicely full.if there was a higher score than 10/10, I would gladly give it.
i cannot recommend this place highly enough.

My wife and I had dinner here on a Wednesday evening. The food is of a high quality and the service faultless. I also thought the menu was very reasonably priced.
The restaurant has recently refurbished to a high standard.
I would highly recommend!

Having been to this restaurant 4 times before and had such a wonderful time we thought we would book for New Year's Eve. The staff here are incredible. We have always received such a warm welcome from the staff on arrival and Sam the owner is so personable and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food is exceptional. I had the veal which was on the special menu and it was cooked to perfection. The Linguine with shellfish and chicken, chorizo risotto was fabulous. Everything is nice and hot and served in good time in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We would definitely recommend this to other foodies so enjoy everyone and thank you once again Sam to you and your staff for always looking after us so well.

Excellent food and staff were really friendly. Don't be put off by the decor, despite being new its a bit boring, but the quality of the food and staff make up for it.

Had dinner here last night as a group of 6 and the whole experience was faultless. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and we all agreed that it was excellent value for money. The staff were friendly and attentive and it was so refreshing to find that its a family run business and not another chain restaurant. Would highly recommend.

Attended this venue on New Year's Eve for dinner with some friends. The staff are excellent and very welcoming. The food can only be described as first class. Great selection and choice. Would highly recommend this place for both food and service
