PREZZO ITALIAN CANTERBURY REVIEWS

We had a fantastic experience at Prezzo, and our server Tess made it even better! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure our meal was perfect from start to finish. The food was delicious, but Tess’s warm and welcoming service really stood out. She took the time to check in with us without ever being intrusive and made excellent recommendations. Highly recommend asking for her if you’re visiting Prezzo.

The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great. It has been a long while since I've had such a great lunch with my friends. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect but I've been pleasantly surprised on all levels. The food reminded me of my mum's cooking and brought a warm feeling that lasted the whole day. Highly recommend.

The restaurant looks fabulous with the new update. As soon as we arrived we received a very warm welcome. Very friendly indeed. Service was excellent, our servers were very pleasant. The food , excellent too. All inall a wonderful experience.

POSILLIPO CANTERBURY REVIEWS

Having never been here before but have been to the sister restaurant in Broadstairs, this was amazing from start to finish. The food was impeccable and tasted delicious. Great menu along side a specials menu. Will definitely return, would recommend this to anyone that loves authentic Italian food.

I was curious to see how that pizza would taste with a wood fired pizza oven. Outstanding, amazing taste, and flavours if you are after great pizza, then this is your spot.

Lovely authentic Italian food. Highly recommended. Definitely worth the visit.

Great food and great staff. - Pete C Reply

PINOCCHIO'S RISTORANTE ITALIANO REVIEWS

Very nice and cozy Italian restaurant. The server was very friendly and energetic. However, the food arrived 40 mins after ordering and wasn’t the best. Good food, but for the price and authentic style advertised, I expected better . Reserve in advance. Would still recommend for date night or cozy night out with friends.

Really nice Italian restaurant close to Canterbury downtown. A 5 min walk. Super friendly service and excellent food. We had a pasta and a risotto and were super impressed with both. And of course a tiramisu for desert. Definitely worth a visit. Enjoy.

Delightful service from Francesca, very attentive and accommodating.. specials were explained and I chose a mozzarella salad and the ravioli special. So delicious and flavoursome.. will definitely be returning.
