Wow... this place is somewhere we’ve been coming for years always a great experience and amazing food and service! They cater for everyone and are all very friendly and welcoming staff! We always come here every year for our anniversary meal as it was our first date place and the food is amazing! It really is 5 Star!!! Highly recommend!
As usual, fantastic service and amazing food. Came here today for a surprise meal for my fiancés 30th and family. All the staff were fantastic and helped me set up beforehand to decorate the table. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Really is the best Italian restaurant in town staff are so welcoming I’ve been going for several years now and the standard had never dropped!!
Atmosphere is amazing the food is always cooked to your liking and to such a high standard couldn’t recommend highly enough...
We spent our anniversary meal at Il Pescatore and we loved the food, the atmosphere and the staff. We have been on numerous occassions now and loved every meal. We have also attended an opera evening and would recommend those to all.
I love this restaurant, it's like being on holiday in Sicily! The ambience is great, it's warm and cosy - it's not like most restaurants you go into which are so soulless! It's decor is eclectic and familiar, the food is delicious, the staff are wonderful and even sing to you if they know it's your birthday! They deserve the success they have and I cannot recommend this place enough - it's fun for a crowd, romantic for two and just an absolute delight. Well done guys!!

We went here for Valentines night, wow this really is the best restaurant in Southend, the service is impeccable, from the moment we sat down we were made to feel at home, the staff are fabulous this restaurant has such a great vibe, with a great atmosphere, the food is amazing, steak cooked to perfection, fresh vegetables, a truly authentic sicilian experience.
Lovely Meal Last night for my mum and dads anniversary. Bare in mind there was over 20 of us the food and service was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back and would definately recommend it to anyone
Had a great evening yesterday with work friends, staff were very welcoming and attentive throughout, and the food was delicious. All courses came out together, well presented and hot-there were 9 of us, so very impressed that this was served so professionally. Will definitely be going back again and would happily recommend to others. Fantastic restaurant!
First time at this restaurant and found it to be very nice, great food, staff very friendly and helpful. If we lived here in Southend we would eat here all the time.
I have been going here for over 20 years and the standard has never dropped.
Superb food and the staff are excellent.
Best restaurant in Southend.
Would recommend to everyone.
Brilliant restaurant nice staff good service lovely food will recommend this place to anyone
My husband and I have been going here on occasions for over 6 years... always made welcome, food and wine delicious.. very authentic little Italian gem! More so last night... an Operatic extravaganza! The owner's son David was joined by two VERY TALENTED singers, delivering a collection powerful and emotive numbers from Arias to classic musical songs... together with a 3 course set meal and wine tasting, the evening was definitely a hit! Thank you.
Had our work celebration here on Wednesday evening, excellent restaurant, service was great there was 9 of us and they couldn't have been more welcoming great atmosphere. The food was amazing highly recommend this Italian Restaurant.
Fantastic place, amazing food and great service. I had the scallions piccante (special starter) and it tasted absolutely amazing. Waiters made the children very welcome. Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended.
The best Italian I've ever been too! Fantastic authentic Italian cuisine with a great friendly atmosphere. Great choice of fine wine and a fantastic choice on the menu. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!!!!!
Brilliant service and food. All fresh and homemade, it's like you are eating in Italy 👌🏼. The lemon cheesecake is out of this world 😊
My partner wanted to find a restaurant where we could quietly enjoy our meal away from the "full of life" main street, and he found it!
As well as it being a beautiful day, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely gorgeous.
I'm always sceptical about trying new foods, but what we ate was delicious.
We will return when we visit again - thank you very much for your service.
Total meal valued under £80 plus x2 alcoholic drinks and a coffee.
The food here was quite good. I had the Aubergines Parmesan. This didn't have the amount of eggplant I'm using to enjoying, that said it was quite enjoyable as was the seafood melody my wife thoroughly enjoyed.
We came here on Sunday and they were closing so we had to place order fast. And that's what we did. We placed order fast and we had the food after less than 10 minutes. Food was great. We got the pasta dishes for both and the calamari starter. We asked for a bit if parmezan and meal was served and was delicious. I do recommend this place not only for the food but also for a great service as well. Polite,fast,piping hot food. What else someone can ask for?
What a pity that there are no more stars. This place deserves all. Food is more than good, people and service are nice and excellent. The atmosphere is cosy and pleasant. I enjoyed everything.
Staple local Italian, good service, busy place. Seafood food pasta, too much sauce and 4 unopened mussels. Pollo Milanese, dry and fried too long. The spaghetti that came with it was passable. The garlic bread was very nice. Quality of food seem have dipped a bit
Absolutely lovely place. Love Sicily and Sicilian food. The Dover Sole was excellent. The place had a relaxed atmosphere and the staff were attentive. Throughly recommended and next time i'm in Southend, I'll be eating there again
very delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff.
Great food yet again ….
Always a place I’ll walk away from with a full belly and a smile on my face at very little cost
Cheers guys
Couldn’t fault this place.
Friendly polite staff, good service & tasty food would definitely recommend this place.
Booked a table for 2 here on Easter Sunday and the food did not disappoint. It was a sunny day so we sat outside and had our starter main and dessert. Main came with a carbohydrate sharer of potatoes and cauliflower.dessert was rich, it didn't just taste of sugar. 3 courses and a drink x2 people was just under £80, so it's slightly above the area average but worth it on a day you have time to enjoy your food.
