  “Very disappointed with the food. I had calzone(which wasn't close to what we had in Italy). Then panacota with a sauce that was bitter and smelt like it was out of date for a long period. The only acceptable was tiramisu with pistachio which we could finish and the ice cream. Really wanted to enjoy a proper Italian food,but disappointed.”

  “Popped in for BH Sunday lunch. I had food from the specials board and main menu and both were lovely. Staff were attentive without being too pushy. Whilst not the restaurant’s fault there was a large group who became too loud which did take the edge of slightly.”

  “Here for the second night on the trot, as the first night was so good. Working away and it’s normally hard to find a local restaurant that does both great food and excellent service. If you like top Italian food and you’re in the Chelmsford area, I couldn’t recommend this any more.”

  “Il palazzo 1 = poor 10 = excellent Average score ? Welcome 8 Atmosphere 7 Cleanliness 8 Service 8 Speed of serve 8 Attentiveness 6 Food quality 8 Value for money 9 Drinks 8 Go again: yes Total score 7.8 / 10 Was in Chelmsford, and did not know where it eat, this restaurant was conveniently placed. Was busy in there but the maître D got us a table. We did not have time for starter or dessert sadly. But the staff were friendly and the food really good, there is nothing I could fault. The mark down was because no one check if the food was ok or offer my drinks. Top restaurant give it a try!”

  “This is just a lovely little Italian restaurant. The staff are lovely, the food is excellent and it's not expensive. Plenty of food options other than pasta and pizza - but plenty of those too. Would highly recommend the place, easy to get to (opposite the bus station and 120m from the main train station.”

  “Visited for the first time today. Staff were extremely friendly and quick with service, really nice and talkative to our group. The food was also really tasty and authentic; all staff are Italian or have lived in Italy for a while. Drinks were extremely good too, from multiple cocktails to some big Italian beer on tap, and the house wine that our party of four finished three bottles of, everything is high quality. The decor of the restaurant was extremely nice and cosy, but also stylised to an Italian motif. Will definitely be returning some point soon as this place is absolutely stellar, extremely good Italian restaurant, way better than some of the big chains in the city centre.”

  “Had the set lunch menu with 2 friends - 2 courses plus a glass of wine. Absolutely delicious ! And I loved the red wine, perfect temperature, full bodied with a deep fruity taste. There was plenty of choice on the set menu, well presented on lovely warm plates, makes all the difference, great service and good atmosphere - will definitely return. Had halibut on the specials board, big favourite of mine, so hopefully on again when I go another time.”
