FRANKIE & BENNY'S REVIEWS
Brilliant. We arrived to our reservation table with a high chair and kids drawing utilities ready for us. Been here a few times but never fails to amaze me how delicious the food is. Vegetarian & Vegan options are available for a lot of the dishes on the menu, perfect for anyone with those dietary requirements. Would've left a review months ago but the main reason I'm doing it today is: Melinda. She was our waitress for the evening and she was absolutely phenomenal! Super friendly, warm, catering and quick. Atmosphere nice as per usual and service excellent. Definitely recommend this exact branch!
We had a good experience at this Frankie and Benny's. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes. The customer service was also very good. Bit on the pricey side but a good dining out experience.
Very nice, we took my grandson there, who is vegetarian and 9 years of age. Plenty of choice for him. Food nice and hot. Although they were short staffed and there was a very awkward family next to us, the waitress was efficient, kept smiling and courteous. We tipped accordingly, she deserved every penny. This was the Basildon, festival leisure park restaurant.

BELLA ITALIA REVIEWS
Just had lunch here as an early Mothers Day treat. We were seated quickly. Restaurant was clean and our server Leanne was very helpful. Our drinks order was taken and received shortly afterwards, same with our food order. All the food tasted amazing, absolutely delicious! We will definitely come back here again in the future!
Our waitress was super, super nice. The food was OK, pizza OK, pasta very nice, but the children's menu had vegetable sticks that had not been freshly cut. The drinks were good but a bit overpriced. However, the atmosphere is very relaxing, colourful, and inviting, comfortable to be there longer. Recommended.
My family and I enjoyed lunch here at the weekend and the food was great......but not as great as Max our waiter! He was friendly, attentive, helpful and polite! The restaurant got increasingly busy throughout our visit but the service continued to be spot on!

PIZZAEXPRESS - BASILDON REVIEWS
Came in for a treat lunch for our Anniversary. The restaurant was pretty empty as it was a Wednesday lunchtime. The food was absolutely delicious! Really fresh and full of flavour. Amy, our waitress, was very helpful and attentive. She even adjusted my dessert slightly to my request, which I was very grateful for. Would definitely dine here again in the future.
The waiter that served us was welcoming on arrival and attentive throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better service and the food was great. Our order was correct and every dish was enjoyable. Best meal out we’ve had in a long time.
A great pizza express experience! We booked in advance for a group of 30 and they were able to accommodate. Not only that but they were really prepped to manage our orders. The food all came pretty much together and payment at the end was easy. Food was on point as usual! Thank you for making easy for us.
