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.

Five of us enjoyed a very good celebratory annual meal at Il Palazzo just before Christmas at lunchtime. We felt very well welcomed, the service was attentive without being obvious, and every dish we ordered was delicious, and very well cooked. There was a very good range of choices on the menu and we'll definitely be going back!

The Tagliatelle Funghi E Panna Pasta was so tasty, and service was great.

We had an exceptional Christmas dinner. The food was out of this world, the service was quick and friendly and the atmosphere was jolly & festive. Couldn’t fault any part of the meal. The perfect Christmas Day! Thank you so much Sam & your wonderful team.

Passed this restaurant many times in rush hour over the years on the way to and from the train station and its location is opposite the bus station, but never ventured inside. Booked for the two of us as we do love Italian food.
Very busy Saturday night but this adds to the atmosphere. I had the Monkfish and the Calzone my wife had the Lasagne and Tiramasu. Lovely flavours and enjoyed the evening meal. This restaurant also caters for those who want a meal and then onto the theatre afterwards so it advisable to book in advance. Now we've tried it we shall be back as Chelmsford lacks a decent restaurant and we are fed up with pubs offering the same fare.

What a find.
Great place to eat, very busy on the Friday night we went so a good idea to book.
A good variety on the menu and wine not too pricey. There is a pre theatre menu but we went for the main one which seemed to work out cheaper.

We were recommended this restaurant by friends who use it. We needed lunch for 30 teenage boys and they came up trumps! The food was excellent, service exemplary and everyone had a super time. Thank you for helping us out.

Excellent food at very good prices, and in a convenient location within Chelmsford. The staff are friendly, the food is delicious (I highly recommend the Bistecca alla Fiorentina), and this restaurant represents exceptional value for money in the current climate.
It is very loud inside, to the point where it is hard to hear someone sitting directly opposite you unless they raise their voice, and this is a negative point - but it is the only one I could mention. We will definitely be back (but maybe not on a Saturday evening this time!)

First visit last night with my wife.. What a gem of a find this place is. The food is amazing the service is second to none and the authentic atmosphere is the cherry on the cake. One of the best restaurant’s I’ve visited in Chelmsford City Centre. See you again soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had the pre-theatre menu selection and it was very good value and all freshly prepared. Definitely recommend it for anyone going to the civic theatre.

Really great place. They took us in when they were busy, treated us exceptionally well and gave us great food. We were just visiting the area but the place was buzzing and clearly loved by the locals, deservingly!

LEL2025（London–Edinburgh–London）完走後、日本人参加者同士の打ち上げで利用しました。予約なしで伺いましたが、とても温かく迎えていただきました。
イベント中に食べたエイドの食事は正直あまり口に合いませんでしたが、こちらのイタリアンはどの料理も本当に美味しかったです。雰囲気も良く、料理の提供タイミングやスタッフの対応も丁寧で大満足でした。

Our small group had visited the Civic Theatre tour and chose the IL Palazzo for lunch. Entering IL Palazzo restaurant was a wow factor. So sparkling clean and inviting. We were greeted immediately with a warm welcome. We had not booked but.....I am told by our friends I was meant to book?. This was not a problem for the staff who quickly put 2 tables together to make the 8 places.
The other tables were not crammed together and gave a good space between each table.
The menu looked great and enticing. We were delighted to choose from the 2 course set menu for £15:95 each. Most chose different items and were all delighted with our choices with plates all empty which shows how tasty the food really is at this delightful restaurant.
We ordered various drinks before settling on choosing our food.
Several chose the Bruschetta to start, some chose White Bait. Several chose the mains of Insulata di Pollo, with generous portion of spiced chicken, salad and other veg. The others chose the pork dish. We all ordered coffees.
The service is great, not hurried and with the warmth of Italy.
We are all sure we shall return, even if not all together.

Lovely, traditional Italian restaurant. For my sins I had the pepperoni pizza, which had a nice crispy crust and was elevated with green chillies. My friends scallop and courgette risotto was delicious too, with fresh, sweet scallops.
Would highly recommend.

16th birthday. We had a large group of 17, including children. This did not phase the restaurant. Food and drinks came out tasting beautiful, without any confusion or muddles. The service was wonderful and the little surprise touch of singing happy birthday with tiramisu was so kind and sweet. Everyone enjoyed their time and their meals, and the price was so reasonable for such wonderful food.

My third visit to Il Palazzo - I really cannot recommend this place enough. The service is wonderful, the atmosphere is amazing, the food is out of this world. So nice to have an authentic Italian restaurant to go to, rather than the chains you find in the city centre. Absolutely love it here! The crab and prawn spaghetti is 10/10! Will be back! 😊

Five of us sat at table T-4 on Saturday evening and as ever had a fabulous experience.
Everything was just perfect, choice of starters, main and dessert; service were all second to none. No complaints at all!!
Thank you for a most enjoyable evening.
Looking forward to our next visit, Meantime wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Il Palazzo.

Have visited many times, we usually take my parents for dinner. We are all fussy eaters, but have always been well looked after. Food is delicious (best pizza in Chelmsford), fresh, tasty. Service is always wonderful. A calm place to be. Would definitely recommend

Staying in Chelmsford to see family we have often been to this restaurant.
Every time has been lovely. The staff are very friendly and professional.
We had bruschetta and mozarella de fritte to start (sharing) and then vegetarian pizza and mushroom tagiatelle. All the food was delicious helped down by a nice house red wine. I would say it is good value too.
Would definitely recommend.

Went here for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely meal.
The food was excellent (and good value), as was the service.
Our second visit wasn't as good and the lasagne was a disappointment. I'll be back, but unfortunately the excellent experience of the first visit wasn't repeated!
Service great, and very friendly, I just need to make a better menu choice next time round!
