Quite simply, great food but service slow and the boss needs to learn to smile!

One of the best Italian restaurants in town. The food is delicious, the staff is extremely kind, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous gem of a restaurant. If you're even considering going, go. Waitress was amazing. Food was superb (I haven't had scallops cooked that well in many years). And it's got brilliant vibes.

The best restaurant in Colchester for fish dishes. Lovely family run business. Hidden gem

What a find! Right near the Mercury Theatre and ideal for a pre-show meal. We all had seafood and it was fabulous, scallops, king prawns, sea bass, prawns & crayfish and lobster, so tasty. We will definitely return to try out the pasta dishes next time.

Favoloso it was!!! A party of 14 of us decided to try this little jewel hidden in the middle of Colchester last Saturday evening and we were not disappointed. Being a large party we had pre-ordered our food which was served up hot, tasty and very well presented. All the waiters/waitresses worked very hard all night and were very polite and helpful. The Chef came out to chat to all her customers to see if we enjoyed the food to which I thought was a lovely touch. It was nice to see a restaurant doing really well. This is a must try!!

Wow, this place is absolutely excellent! The service was a little slow, but it seemed some of the staff were new, and it was a busy Saturday night so this can be forgiven. The range of fish specials was great, alongside traditional pizza/pasta, and the lobster & scallops dish I had was better than those I’ve enjoyed in high end restaurants - at a more reasonable cost too! Highly recommended, a hidden gem.

Loved this place for dinner. Had a nice chilled vibe while we were there. It was a midweek evening meal and probably about half full. Great service from friendly staff and the food was great. Definitely recommend getting some good wine here too all for a very reasonable price. This was my first time here but I'll definitely be back now if found it.

Came here for 20th Wedding Anniversary with my wife. Nice and cosy atmosphere, well presented food, good customer service. Everything went well. Loved the prawn dishes, can't remember the names now. If you come to Colchester, you must visit Ristorante F. Will be coming back.

Came across this restaurant by chance last saturday and how lucky was we. The atmosphere was warm and friendly the staff was polite and helpful the interior was designed to make you feel like you was on holiday and the food was fantastic. we both tried food we had not eaten before and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Great value for the money and cant wait to take the rest of the family back
