That part of Duke Street just outside the city centre and opposite the bus station has a cluster of restaurants of which Il
Palazzo appeared to be the most popular this Tuesday lunchtime. The reason is probably the lunch menu including a number of dishes ranging from pizzas, pastas, frittata (that’s Italian for omelette), salads and chicken, all at the bargain price of £6.95. The spaghetti bolognese I chose was a substantial dish and came quickly enough for me to have a lemon sorbet and meringue dessert before I had to hurry back to a court hearing. A large glass of Montepulciano and a double espresso both went down nicely.

Wonderful dishes, pleasant spacious dining area, helpful staff. I had the seafood linguini followed by the best Tiramisu I have ever tasted.My husband had a salmon and vegetables followed by a selection of ice creams.We were visitors to Chelmsford but would like to return to the restaurant again.

The restaurant is close to the Civic Theatre so is perfect for the pre show food, seated quickly and served courteously so no issues there. The food when it came was excellent, hot and well presented, the only issue we had was that the main course took quite a while so if you are going to the theatre leave yourselves at least 1:45 so you aren't rushing.

Met friends for a Friday evening meal and a catch up. I had phoned and spoken to the lady in advance and booked the round table which was confirmed. Only to arrive and find it had been given to another group. Disappointed as this had been specially requested. Apologies from staff but nothing more offered. Food satisfactory although service was a little slow. Not sure I will return as I am not confident the same mistake would not recur.

My daughter and I had a pre theatre meal at this restaurant on Saturday, the service was good but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. I had a pasta and mushroom dish which was very stodgy, the pasta (tagliatelle) was virtually 'welded' together, there was no flavour at all. My daughter had cannelloni, which was also very dry. Both dishes were reminiscent of microwave dishes. Such a shame as the atmosphere and location is very good.

We had another great evening, whilst at ll Palazzo on Duke Street.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming and our waitress Sabrina was delightful.We enjoy the fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection, and would recommend this restaurant to anyone! Will be returning again very soon!

Booked a table over the phone on a spur of the moment thing and was so pleased we did. The staff were very polite and welcoming. For starters I had the meatballs and my bird had bruschetta. We both enjoyed these, the mains were even better. I had the lamb shank special with mash, which was absolutely gorgeous. My bird had linguine pescatore, both generous portions and fantastic flavours. For dessert I had the profiteroles which tasted as good as it looked the way it was presented. 10/10. Can’t wait to visit again. This is the best Italian food I’ve had since I visited Rome. I was very impressed and highly recommend this place.

Always very friendly and efficient staff. Good food and quick service especially if you are going to the theatre. Children always welcome and with a separate menu. Have been several times and will certainly go again.

Really impressed by this place - situated in the culinary wilderness that is the top end of Duke street this place is a little gem. Generous portions and good prices. Speedy service even though they had two huge tables in at the same time as us. A family run feel about it and excellent risotto. We will definitely come back for a pre-theatre meal again.
