Been there a few times now and it never disappoints. Went on Saturday 7th october for dinner. Once again staff were very friendly throughout our meal and efficient. Food was fantastic as always especially the sharing platters to start. Always a nice atmosphere too.
We eat here a lot and I've never had a bad experience. The food is always excellent and the staff are very friendly. We nip in for lunch and special occasions and always very happy with the food and service

This branch of Prezzo is part of the Pipeworks area in Swadlincote, that also includes an Odeon cinema, and a well frequented branch of Costa Coffee. Quite a sizeable restaurant with tables on two floors, very spacious, no table being too close, so even when it is very busy, the dining experience is a relaxed one. The best tables are probably to the rear of the restaurant, in a semi-circular room, which offers great views of the local area. In the main part of the restaurant is the food preparation area so you can see your dishes being made.
Menu wise, there is a lot of choice from grills to salads, pizzas to pasta, and lots of constantly changing specials. The pizzas, come in three variants light (for smaller appetites), classic and VIP (extra toppings). The Vesuvio is particularly good, but with the red roquito chilli peppers, and double pepperoni, it is on the spicy side though!. Pasta also comes in two variants: light (smaller portion, more salad) and classic; you can even have two of the pastas, in slightly smaller portions if you are indecisive. The lobster and crab tortelli, with red chilli and spinach, in a saffron sauce, is fantastic dish, packed with flavour.
Of course dessert is almost compulsory, and the variety of offer at Prezzo is impressive, if a little expensive, the Honeycomb Smash Cheescake is a favourite, but last time we dined here I chose one of the specials: the Salted Caramel Arctic Slice, the saltiness of the caramel, the perfect compliment to the ice cream and sponge. If you're a little full after the main, you can have a small dessert, with a hot drink; the profiterole with chocolate and a cappucino is my wife's favourite.
Overall, great food, a relaxed ambience and helpful, efficient staff; which makes it a popular venue in Swadlincote
The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They asked us if there were any allergies and they sorted things for us. Staff were quick with drinks too.
Food was nice but nothing mind blowing. Not my preferred style but that's not the restaurant fault. The point was to have something different.
This is one of the more expensive places in town. For comparison I had one of the cheaper items on the menu and drank mostly water. £75 For a couple.
By comparison went with 3 of us to Swad Indian, excellent meal, £60 for the 3.
So I'm not picking here.
My only real issue was that they add service charge automatically. I hate that. Let me choose the tip. They call it optional but no one wants the confrontation to change it. How about you just pay your staff properly Prezzo. A quick Google suggests they pay around minimum wage. You are one of the most expensive places in town you have no excuse to be paying so poorly.
A great restaurant which is always easy to book and has some amazing food. Not only is the food great here, but the portions are also MASSIVE. I always walk away from the restaurant feeling very full, but satisfied. Service is always great and attentive and the restaurant is clean and decorated in a nice way.
Very nice restaurant. The ambient is beautiful and the staff was friendly and nice. The food was good too. I ordered the aubergine, burrata and basil pizza and it was great. I highly reccomend it! I'll come back to try the pasta dishes that looked delicious.
The pizzas are very nice. The burgers are average when you consider the fact that the plate overall is not very well loaded, somewhat bare. Just about adequate for an average appetite. However, they taste very, very nice. My cuppachino was little more than lightly coffee flavoured lukewarm water. Extremely disappointing as my coffee is very important to me, especially if I'm paying a hefty price. I expect at the very least Costa or Starbucks quality. This didn't even start the race. Overall, I think a 3.1/2 stars would be closer to my actual assessment. On previous visits things were better, yet prices have risen sharply. Certainly no complaints staff wise. Decent bunch, cheerful & polite.
Kaitlyn was out hostess and she was brilliant! We had a lovely evening due to her!
Definitely recommend it. Very good on all accounts. Surprised by quality of food; service was also excellent. Exeptionally polite staff. Plenty of parking for those obsessed by parking. They also tell you about service charge and card only so you can go elsewhere if you want to. Also, why wouldn't you want to pay a service charge? Had a very enjoyable experience.

Experienced another enjoyable evening and meal at Prezzo Swadlincote.
We've been here at least a half dozen times choosing to use our Tesco Clubcard vouchers which triple up to turn £10 of vouchers into £30 to use against a meal here... you can't go wrong...
Without vouchers, expect to pay around £20 per head for a two course and £27 for a 3 course plus your drinks.
I never struggle to find several meal options to choose from the menu and haven't been disappointed with my choices so far.
The staff are friendly, attentive and seem intuitive enough to know when it's appropriate to engage in conversation or leave you in peace.
The meatball starter is always a delicious choice but I went for crispy mozzarella with a spicy caprese ketchup this time. The presentation wasn't anything special but was still a very nice sized starter with the caprese ketchup giving it a little kick.
The main courses were Oak Smoked Salmon Penne and Tre Carni Calzone, the Penne being the lighter of the two meals. The Calzone is very nicely presented with a dressed side salad and a sauce boat filled with a tomato sauce.
As ever with a Calzone the ends have little or no filling (this is where the sauce boat comes in) and you slowly work to the centre where the main event lies. Full of flavour and very tasty I'd happily have this meal every time.
I only got to try a fork full of the salmon dish but that might be my choice on the next visit 😋
With ample free parking outside, the restaurant itself looks clean, classy with several different seating style areas catering for family groups or intimate couples.
It also has a gallery seating area where you can overlook the downstairs and bar area if you like a little bit of people watching with your conversation and meal.
Very impressed, I can see why it was one of the restaurants that survived the Prezzo cull before and during lockdown and will be back for more in the near future.
Excellent and safe experience. The greeter very clearly explained the COVID procedures when we arrived and these were adhered to by all diners.
Very impressed with all of the food we ordered. 10/10 for meatball starters, Lasagne, Salmon Penne pasta and Chocolate Fudge cake. My wife said it was the best Fudge cake she had ever tasted. The service provided by Callum was first class, he was so efficient, accommodating and friendly.
Very clean Restaurant.
Good points are: the staff are incredibly welcoming and pleasant, also ample parking right outside due to the proximity to a free car park. The atmosphere is ok but it lacks the feel of a traditional Italian restaurant imo. I only had a pizza and it was nice enough but not amazing.
Lovely and accommodating staff here, they always seat us away from others because we have so many kids. The food is always lovely, especially the linguini and fish dishes.
