Prezzo Italian Restaurant Upminster - (Near , london)

Chris Had a very nice lunch here today. It’s been a while since I’ve eaten here. Usually just visit for the garden centre, but my friend and I decided to eat whilst here. This is a great family run cafe/restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We were seated quickly and served quickly, although it was fairly busy (and is normally packed out) I had the poached eggs with smashed avocado with an oat milk cappuccino. The coffee is very nice here too, probably the nicest I’ve had in a while. My friend had the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and it looked delicious. All tasted fresh and came quickly too. Extra seating now for when it is very busy, which meant we didn’t have to wait for a table today. Lots of variety on the menu, and some of the other food being served up looked delicious too. Glad to see this place is still open and doing well. The staff here clearly work very hard to provide great food and service. Very reasonable prices too. Would recommend.

Diane Woodford We were so excited to try the fish and chips here and the sea bass. We were not disappointed the food was delicious, service was exceptional, Dana was simply a delight. We are looking forward to our next visit so we will can try the bread pudding and apple pie ❤️

Nick Holt Proper greasy spoon style. Tasty bacon, nice sausage, crispy Hash Brown. Big tasty fried egg. Proper quality food and lots of it. Huge toast (that came pre buttered, which I like for so many reasons) Passed the dry hash brown test (they dont bury it under the beans or tomato making it soggy, excellent, tick) Got my order right by excluding mushroom, happy days. Not the poshest of places but its not intending to be, which is great because they focus on the food quality and cost to the punter. The only thing I forgot was to leave them a tip, regrettably.

Julia Rose A beautiful Sushi restaurant with amazing decor, tasty food and great wait staff. I have recommended this place often, and will continue to take friends here! Staff are super friendly, and I’m never waiting long for food.

Ram Tharshi Celebrated a close friend’s birthday at Virundhu, and what an unforgettable evening it turned out to be! From the moment we arrived, the service was absolutely exceptional. The team went above and beyond to make our private dining experience seamless and special. A particular mention has to go to one incredibly helpful staff member who was so accommodating with all the surprise arrangements. Nothing was too much trouble — he even jumped in to help us blow up balloons for the decorations! That level of care and genuine enthusiasm truly set the tone for the night. The private dining space itself was stunning. The ambient lighting created such a warm and elegant atmosphere, and having full use of the screen, sound system, and comfortable booth seating made the celebration feel both intimate and lively at the same time. It was the perfect setting for a birthday surprise. Now, the food — simply beautiful. Every dish was full of flavour and presented with such care. You could really taste the quality and authenticity in every bite. A lovely touch was the children’s meals being served on traditional banana leaves — it looked so vibrant and visually appealing, and it added to the whole cultural experience. A heartfelt thank you to Sam, the hardworking chef behind the scenes, and the entire team at Virundhu for making the evening so memorable. Your dedication, warmth, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It was truly a fantastic experience, and we can’t wait to return!

Neil King A quick google found this cafe for us when we were looking to kill an hour and it was teaming with rain, so a walk wasnt practical. Well run cafe with a great selection of sweet and savoury items to go with some excellent coffee. The place was busy, but finding a table wasnt an issue. It really does seem to be a real community asset, dedicated play area for the younger ones, a selection of board games, both to be used and purchased and a bit of gallery space if any of the pictures take your fancy. Staff all seemed happy and cheerful. The Ox Shed more than served our needs.
