"a great place in ely. I felt instantly from friendly staff who sit in a beautiful table in the corner, I was so perfect on my own to get fucked away, but I had a good look at everything that went on to keep me occupied. the place is not what I would call instagrammble. they will not find young fashionable people here and it is better for it. it is beautifully decorated, crisp and fresh and feels inviting, more like visiting a friendly house than a stuffy restaurant. the visitors are here to enjoy their evenings with good food and friends, not to make pictures for likes. I enjoyed my bratpork with sweetness. very moist with a lot of crispy cracks. also the last of the heavy, which is always a care in the south. a nice choice. my chocolate mousse was amazing, hadn't had one since brunette. the charges too. with a beautiful coffee. the only thing we left was the starter. only a handful of pouched salad with some tiny pieces of goat cheese and two walnuts. there was a vague drizzling of an art dressing. certainly not worth the price, initially very leave. but everything else was wonderful, plus the suppenings I saw going into other tables looked out and tasted tasty. I must mention the break of the evening. I never felt rushed, everyone had a good break in between, but not as long as I wait. I hate these days, how everything is so eager, pure and out. it was nice to relax and enjoy my food and wine. thanks to many for a real culinary experience. Hopefully if I'm in the opposite I'll visit again and friends this time."

"We went out as a family for lunch. It was not overly busy in there and we had pre booked. We had to wait over 15 minutes for our drink order to be taken. We then asked for them to take our food order to try and speed things up. There only seemed to be 2 front of house staff working and service was very slow. The menu was quite limited, and 2 of the main dishes were not available. We ordered two steaks, and chicken and chips. We asked what one of the dishes were (bravas fries) and the waiter didn’t know so he asked the other man, and the description given was “it’s just the fries with tomato in a tapas dish” what came was potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce covering the potatoes. We waited over an hour and 10 minutes for our food to arrive. I appreciate that the food is cooked fresh, but service was very slow. The people on the table next to us also commented twice to staff about how long things were taking. When we finally got our food, it came out in dibs and drabs, one dish had been forgotten about and we had to remind the waiter for this. We were not given steak knives so we had to ask for them. We were also not asked if we wanted any condiments like salt and pepper. The food was served to us at our table with the waiter passing the plates to us. Yet when we finished the other man asked us to stack all of our plates up for him! We eat out quite often, I know that there are restrictions in place due to Covid but as yet I have never been asked to help clear the table. Overall an experience I do not wish to repeat."

"I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. The service was slow, and it was puzzling that some diners received poppadoms right away while we weren't offered any. The vegetable platter starter was bland and had a floury texture. The lamb balti needed more sauce, but it was acceptable overall. However, my chicken tikka biryani had no flavor whatsoever, and neither did the vegetable curry. Throughout our meal, no one checked in on us to see how we were enjoying our food. Additionally, the tables for two were positioned too closely together; we could have easily joined in on our neighbors' conversation."

"Lack of staff and a dirty cup, but a really nice, relaxing atmosphere and quiet (it was a rainy day). A wide variety of tea and cake options. Lots of seating further inside down a few steps, and the area with large windows seems suitable for wheelchair access. For such a central location it's a shame there's not enough staff for someone to wash up well and greet us at the door, but the staff seemed attentive and there were no delays. Service: Dine in"

"Lovely Italian restaurant, extremely friendly staff from the moment you walk through the door. Great laid back and relaxing atmosphere. The food was delicious and would recommend Prezzo to anyone visiting Ely. Drink, i had a Blackberry Negroni, I've never had a blackberry one before, but this one was delicious and refreshing, perfect for a hot summers day. For starters, I had Italian Hummus. It was deliciously creamy and fresh, served with lemon oil and some really nice fluffy grilled flatbread. Nice and light, not too filling would order this again. Finally for main, I had the newly added Sea Bass with Pesto Gnocchi, the fish was cooked perfectly, nice crispy skin and juicy fillet, lovely. The Gnocchi were perfect, nothing to fault there. Finally the pesto brought the whole dish together, a rich garlicky, oily and fresh tasting pesto. Very nice indeed! I must say that our waitress was lovely, she checked on us throughout the evening to ensure we had everything, got chatting to her about the weather and her GCSE's, best of luck to her. She really seemed to enjoy what she was doing, very nice to see. Would recommend Prezzo to anyone looking for some nice authentic Italian food, also the pizzas looked amazing."
