Prezzo Italian Restaurant Rayleigh

Went early evening today and staff were lovely and friendly, attentive and kind. And the food was good. However I wish I could say something positive about the manage. He came across as aggressive in his manner towards his staff team (it was subtle but I was very aware). I can imagine there is a high turnover of staff if this is how he treats them.

I can not praise this restaurant highly enough. We were seated straight away, drinks orders taken, food orders taken, and everything was so beautifully prepared, presented, and brought to us in a timely fashion. We had a vegetarian and a nut allergy, and these dietry requirements were well considered and catered for. However, this is a review with a difference.... one young person serving was really something a bit special. Unknown to her, 4 days ago, we had a very significant family bereavement. We didn't say anything to the staff as we are private people and just wanted to have some normality but one of the servers must have picked up on something as at the end of our meal, she came over with some handmade necklaces with crystals that she herself had made and gave one each to my partners teenage daughters. She allowed them to pick the crystal that most resonated with them. This gesture was one of the kindest, most thoughtful, serendipitous moments, and honestly, she will never realise what her kindness in that moment meant. Her name began with an "A" she had multicoloured hair in bunches and had a compassionate and wholesome nature. Honestly, I say this with all sincerity, protect this person at all costs as she has the most precious soul. Blessed be, your kindness won't be forgotten.
