Prezzo - Fareham

Well it was interesting. I had booked a table online in case it was busy and it was packed. The reason for this was the top floor of the restaurant had a power failure and therefore was not able to be used which meant that the lower floor was really busy, I think extra tables had been added to accommodate all the bookings. The staff were friendly, helpful and very apologetic but the restaurant was so load it was hard to have a nice conversation. The lighting at our table was non-existent that when our meal did finally arrive I had to ask for a candle so I could see what I was eating. The main issue for me was having to wait an hour for a garlic bread starter and another 45 minutes for 2 main courses which arrived at 9.45. By this time my daughter and I were past eating and were just ready to go home so did not really touch our meals, especially as my belly pork was really fatty with very little pork on and my daughters pasta tastless. I was offered free drinks, pudding and money off our bill but I was paying using my £60.00 Tesco vouchers so money off the bill was of no benefit to me. I didn't pay for our drinks which I know would not of been covered by my voucher so I did save £10.00 but I would of rather of had a pleasurable dinning experience and paid for drinks.

Excellent service, lovely meals, especially like salmon penne and mozzarella in breadcrumbs starter. Children’s meal good value. Will definitely visit again

Modern decor good service and great food. It's not perfect as they do runout of certain dishes and wine but it's friendly, conviniant and has plenty of parking right outside .

tables for two too close together for comfort

Having eaten in the restaurant on many occasions, this time was not an enjoyable eating experience. It took nearly 45 minutes from ordering for our starters to arrive. We requested water on two separate occasions and never received any. When our mains arrived the pasta dishes arrived first, followed several minutes later by another dish and then another 5 minutes for the pizza to arrive. These delays allowed the pasta to be cold. Also wine that was ordered took an age to arrive. They even found it difficult to provide Parmesan for our dishes. It was very disappointing. However, this may gave been a one off so will try again in the future

Good customer service even with a technical issue helped us out when needed right away.

Nice, attentive service, friendly staff and good food
A little disappointed that we weren’t told some dishes were unavailable until we actually tried to order them, meaning we had to then make a last minute decision on an alternative

The Burgers we had were average. The roasted vegetables I had in place of Fries were very disappointing as were only warm and not well roasted

Wow - obviously this is a restaurant that meets expectations bearing in mind the numbers of patrons, including young families, so if you are after a quiet evening meal, stay at home. The choice of food reflects the "Italian" experience and is served speedily and well presented. No stinting on the Parmesan either. The absolute pleasure was the small desert and hot drink combo. Service was very good, nobody rushed you and no-one left you waiting. The only questionable matter is the pricing of the drinks - a large glass of Pinot Grigio for over £7 and a bottle £22 - over £3 for a half ofLager?? Overpricing!!

Over all a lovely experience, our waitress (I’m unsure of her name) was quite aloof and not exactly welcoming, the gentleman who brought the prosecco was lovely! It was my birthday and the gentleman had arranged an I’ve cream with a candle in for me but when the waitress brought it she just plonked it down and walked straight off, didn’t even say happy birthday or here you go.
