Il Palazzo Chelmsford
Latest Reviews
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.

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.

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.

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.

Following a friend’s recommendation we went to Il Palazzo for diner and were not disappointed.
Receiving a warm welcome we were soon placing our order for drinks and food.
Service was prompt and the portions were generous. My wife said « I can’t eat all that » ,but she did.
The food was delicious, well cooked and well presented.
The choice of typical Italian puddings was enticing and we both succumbed !
A very enjoyable meal!
Highly recommended.

Visited with a couple of friends. I opted for the pizza with chicken and ham. The service was very pleasant and the staff were attentive.
The disappointing thing was the pizza itself. It was tough and the cheese seemed solidified. The best way I can describe it is like pizza gone cold that has been reheated.
I really like pizza and have it regularly. This was not a good one and I would not rush back to this place for a pizza.

Visited here for my grandmas birthday, there was 10 of us, and honestly the best service we’ve ever received as a family.
Firstly, the food. It was amazing with such variation on the menu, yet everything we had was so fresh and tasty. Such a step above the usual Italian restaurant food I have. Everything was perfect. Including gluten free pasta for a coeliac that was dining with us.
Secondly, the service. This is what really made our experience excellent. They were so attentive to us, and were very patient, as there was a lot of us to order from at different times. They were so lovely and just genuinely kind people that cared about our experience. And they absolutely aced it.
I can safely say this is my new favourite restaurant in chelmsford. I will definitely be recommending to friends and will 100% be returning myself.
Finally, just a huge thank you to all the staff that made my grandmas birthday memorable, it’s so lovely to all get together and receive the wonderful experience we did.

Had a fantastic meal with my dad. Great food with something for everyone and first class service. So nice to go to a restaurant that isnt a chain. Unfortunately I didn't leave room for dessert which looked amazing.

We definitely be going back.

Lovely restaurant and will definitely be revisiting. The garlic bread with cheese is to die for. I had the chicken salad which was beautiful and a great portion. The calzone was also lovely and very filling! Staff were all friendly, polite and attentive. Can't wait to return!

Family owned restaurant sais it all.
(Glad that I surpassed my preoccupation for restaurants located in very convenient locations:))
All you can expect , friendly people, truly customer focused service , authentic receipes that can be adjusted to your taste upon request as everything is made there and then from the chef ,
and last but not least in the fairly priced extend wine list some great less commercial Italian gems.
Will come back in Chelmsford just for these lovely people
(The weather helps as well as they have a cute outside area great for chilling and people watching )

Went here for a meal before going into the theatre. Good choice as it was only across the road from the theatre. The food was excellent and the plates were hot, which makes a lot of difference if you are a slow eater.
The only let down , I feel was the dessert. ( cheesecake) It didn't taste fresh, was a very small size and the price you pay, you could buy a whole cheesecake for. Skip the dessert and get an ice cream in the interval at the theatre. Other than that the meal couldn't be faulted.

A very extensive menu which covers pasta, pizza, fish and meat dishes. Enjoyable food and service. Ideal for a pre theatre dinner. Good value. Would go again.
