Really good Italian food with a real home-cooked feel I recommend their pasta dishes, which I think they excel at. The pizzas are great but I think their pasta dishes are just a notch above!
On my third visit to this restaurant on business, I went for the penne with chicken and cream. Really good, flavoursome and satisfying, just as a good pasta dish should be!
I have also enjoyed and recommend the salmon spaghetti dish and any pizza.
The atmosphere is friendly and warm. It feels like a family restaurant (which I think it is?)

Lovely meal in a lovely friendly restaurant.
We hadn’t made a booking New Year’s Eve and they squeezed us in and made us feel right at home.
There was even confusion with my order, which the fixed twice (I ordered something that wasn’t basically on the menu and they fulfilled my request once they realised my mistake)
Thanks for a a lovely evening and I’ll remember next time chicken shouldn’t traditionally be in an arrabiata.

I was really hoping this was going to be a great Italian restaurant in Chelmsford. But I'm sorry to say it was a bad experience for us . Firstly the staff was really polite. And the restaurant cosy. Now to the food . I had prawns for starters and they were just ok . My wife had calamari with white bait . Calamari was good but the white bait was cold inside. Just ok starters, Now for mains I choose a pizza which was chicken pepperoni and Ham . It just wasn't good, the toppings was cheap as you can get. Cheap processed ham which if I saw this on a supermarket shelf I would avoid like the plague. The pizza base was under cooked. Needs the fire hotter. And I asked if I could have chilli's on top!! You guessed right "No Chilli's " Now to my wife's meal salmon with sauce on top vegetables and sautéed potatoes. It gets better. She found a piece of steel scouring pad. When pointed out the management took the piece of metal at quick pace. And offered to re do the meal. The good point if any was the vegetables and the fish was good. The sautéed potatoes were undercooked and was a letdown. I know things go wrong but to be honest it's not great it's just ok . My wife said she would go back with a friend. But for us it's a big NO I'm afraid to say. The fish was taken off our bill

I really enjoyed the food here.
Very traditional Italian food from a family run business.
Good friendly service from staff and it all seems very authentic.
I would highly recommend and look forward to returning soon.

The food was excellent, the staff were amazingly attentive and it was excellent value for money. My Dad is hard of hearing and so we wanted a intimate setting so he could join in the conversation and this restaurant offered that, it wasn’t noisy or crowded so he could enjoy the experience too
Brilliant choice of venue

"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me...."
Il Palazzo helped me to celebrate 'Birthday Eve' with my mum.
Very busy so warm atmosphere. Attentive staff without being overbearing.
Mum suggested this restaurant after recent visit following a recommendation.
Mum LOVED her Linguine Granchio E Gamberetti & Tiramisu.
Sadly, my Penne Pollo was a tad bland but ratio of chicken strips to pasta was good! Was full so opted for chocolate ice cream for dessert. Restaurant
surprised me with a birthday candle & chorus of "Happy Birthday' & all (if not many) staff & customers clapped for me which was really lovely.
Authentic Italian cuisine reasonably priced!

Went for mid week lunch. Even though we ate from the set lunch menu they tweaked the dishes to suit our requests. Can’t fault them in any way.

We went here for my son’s birthday and we will definitely be visiting again. Staff were so attentive & friendly, food was delicious, I had calamari & prawn linguine which was really tasty. They even sang happy birthday to my son & gave him a dessert with a candle & we all had limoncello on the house!

Atmosphere was ok, nothing special but ok. Plenty of seating and you didn't feel elbow to elbow with your fellow diners.

Service excellent friendly attentive. We had pizza, risotto, pasta, dessert, all wonderful tasty, good portion meals. Lovely cloth napkins and sparkling cutlery. We thought very good price. We live in east devon and it would be hard to bet this wonderful restaurant. Thoughly enjoyed our meal, we even returned the next day for an excellent lunch and how lovely the waiter remembered us. Brilliant! Thank you il palazzo.

Great location for Chelmsford Theatre (1 minute away). Definitely book a table as it was very busy. The food was fabulous but unfortunately the service on our visit was poor and we had a very long wait to even order drinks let alone food- think it was just too busy. Would go again but with the knowledge that it may be slow and worth it for the food! 👍

Authentic Italian experience! Incredible food, freshly prepared by attentive wait staff with a smile. We are a fussy party of 4 adults and 2 children (8 & 12) and all loved our food which rarely happens! Pasta, pizza, desserts - everything was fantastic. A great menu with just the right amount of choice and very reasonably priced. The chocolate ganache was one the best desserts I’ve ever had! We will be back!
