- DDarrenEssex •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoStaff friendly and so welcoming from the moment you arrive. Staff very accommodating and helpful. You are looked after from the moment you arrive, to the moment you depart. Food as always presented lovely and tastes amazing. Noise level in the place is just right, not to quiet.. but not loud so you can hear each other speak. Spacious so you don't feel like eating on top of anyone either. My favourite place to visit in Colchester city centre.More infoCarluccio's - Fenwick ColchesterPrice: Expensive• Italian• Colchester•4.8

- SSerenaEssex •1 review5.0Dined on 5 Jan 2025We were a table of 18 dining to celebrate a birthday. Without asking we were offered the private dining room upstairs and having ordered in advance all the adult meals everything just ran so smoothly. From the moment we were greeted at the door we were made to feel welcome, valued and comfortable. The service was brilliant and relaxed in a great way with 6 children to cater for too. Nothing was too much trouble and the birthday sundae wowed us all! Thank you Nicole and all the team. You did a wonderful job.More infoBill's Restaurant & Bar - ColchesterPrice: Moderate• British• Colchester•4.6
