We popped in with the kids today, early afternoon to grab a bite to eat, and honestly, the food was exceptional! My wife and I have travelled a bit and like eating out. We're real foodies. I wish we'd discovered this place sooner. Maybe the romantic Italian music playing in the background helped or the amazing staff, but it was a wonderful experience and the food was fresh and on point. We'll be back!
Excellent food, brilliantly engaging staff ready to comfort and ease with recommendations. Generally great dining experience, desserts not to be missed. One of, if not the most undersold restaurants in Chelmsford.
Wow actual authentic Italian. Hand made and fresh calamari. Amazing food. Montepulciano wine was so good we asked where it came from - they ship to wine direct from Italy.
Fantastic place with fantastic food. Authentic italian food 😎
Amazing Italian. The risotto is lovely!
Amazing food! Amazing service and all round brilliant evening! Staff were attentive and funny (even helping my dad read the menu by turning the lights up in the whole restaurant as he forgot his glasses) very lovely restaurant and relaxed atmosphere. The food was stunning! We had the mainly fish dishes which all tasted beautifully fresh and a very well cooked steak dish which was cooked to perfection. Could not recommend this restaurant enough and really is a hidden gem! We will definitely be back!
Amazing authentic Italian fare & lovely wine coupled with excellent friendly service! The white bait starter was crispy on the outside, tender & tasty on the inside. My son’s funghi risotto was the best he’s ever had and my fish stew was so fresh & flavourful, served with good sourdough bread.
Would highly recommend and will be sure to return to try the myriad of tempting dishes they have on their menu!
It could be argued our first ever visit to L'unico did not get off to the best possible start, the Chef was delayed due to motorised contretemps on the Army & Navy roundabout. In fact the "boss" came in to cook our meals, until he came to the rescue we received multiple apologies for the delay and royally treated too.
Our choice of dish may have been delayed in arriving at our table but one thing is absolutely certain, it was worth waiting for! We had called for the Risotto Al Fungi (Mushrooms) and the Vitello Milanese (Veal). We were not disappointed, both dishes were beautifully cooked and tasted wonderful.
There is absolutely no doubt we will visit L'unico again, hopefully in the very near future. There is much to be explored on their menu.
Like Italian food? Try L'unico's, based upon our visit you won't rue visiting their Ristorante.
My wife and I visited the newly opened L’unico restaurant with my son and his family on Sunday.
L’unico is run by Eddie who we have had the pleasure of knowing for a number of years.
He is determined to make a success of this new enterprise and after our experience on Sunday he deserves to succeed.
Not only was the food and service outstanding, the entire atmosphere he and his team have created made this a very enjoyable dining experience.
We were impressed with their friendly attention to detail without being overpowering and desire to ensure everything was perfect.
The kitchen staff also deserve praise for the beautifully cooked and presented dishes, and the flexibility shown to ensure our grandchildren were as well catered for as the adults.
We look forward to returning very soon.
Went there for dinner last night (8th March) with my partner. Food was incredible by far the best Italian Cuisine in Chelmsford city centre. Eddie who served us was fantastic and attentive. Pollo di l’unico was delicious, the wine which we chose was Gavi and that complimented the food perfectly. Finished off the meal with a torte di Nona
Highly recommend.
