   It was rather disappointing after reading good reviews. We booked to be at restaurant for 7:15pm to get food but need to go somewhere else at 8:50, leaving ourselves a good hour and a half to get some food, which we thought was appropriate. It took us more than 20 minutes for us to even order food and then after an additional hour, we finally got our starters which is just ridiculous. After speaking with staff, I was told that they were actually running low of staff, both waiters and chefs, so everything would take longer. I don’t know why they even opened. Then they tried to suggest that actually when you book, they state that the whole meal is an experience like authentic Italian and it was supposed to take 2.5 hours for both starters and mains to come up. I’m not sure who they’re trying to be but it’s just not realistic. It also doesn’t say that after double checking. After we cancelled the mains, they then tried to charge us 1) for some food we never even got & 2) full price for the food we did get with a service charge… a little bit cheeky on their behalf. The food that did come up was Arancini and a plate of prawns. The arancini was fried to death and the prawns were bland. Overall, a just disappointing experience.

   Nice restaurant, attentive and courteous staff. Nice breads to share. Tasty but not amazing pasta dishes. The gorgozola ravioli lacked the coarse walnut and truffle oil apparent in other diners pictures. Slightly bland and lacking texture. Papadella Wild boar ragu was just minced meat rather than cooked down pieces so again lacked a nice texture. Panncotta was served in a tiny bowl rather than being turned out onto a plate. Maybe because it wouldn't have stood up on its own. Custard tart was very nice but the accompanying biscoff cream lacked the promised biscoff pieces or biscoff flavour. A nice touch was the Limoncello with the bill.

    I had been to Authentico once before and had good memories of it. The entire experience on this occasion exceeded my memories, and the service and food were both exceptional. The quality of food is fantastic, and the menu options are unique and step away from a lot of cookie cutter Italian chains in the area. You can tell that they take pride in the food, the building is lovely, and the service goes above and beyond. Highly recommend.

    We visited Authentico for my sons birthday. Food and service were equally amazing. We cannot wait to revisit. The spinach and ricotta ravioli was the best we’ve ever had. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Possibly the best food I’ve had in Chelmsford, coupled with fantastic service. The only thing I struggled with was how warm it was inside, no air con. Cannot wait to come back, the ravioli is to die for!!!

    As the name suggests this is a very authentic restaurant. Proper Italian food at its best! Starters were very big portions….not that I’m complaining!! Service was very good and waitress was lovely. I can see this place becoming very popular as it is better than some of the highest recommended restaurants within the area.

    Food was nice but overpriced. Ravoli main dish was small in size. Souffle dessert seemed uncooked - almost a paste in the middle - with icecream being put onto to hide the fact that it hadn't risen. Creme brulee was almost rubbery in texture

    We had a very enjoyable evening at Authentico. Dined for 2 hours and didn't feel rushed. Staff were great, attentive without being over attentive.Food and wine were very good, empty plates all around. As it was busy, the noise level was quite load. This did not affect our experience, but could do with some sound absorbers in the high ceiling. Thank you
