Advantages: Top class food

Disadvantages: None at all

Prezzo is taking the Italian restaurant market by storm - evident in Cheltenham, with two restaurants - one on the Promenade; the other in the new Brewery complex.

This, make no mistake, was one of the best restaurants I have visited. We ate at the Prezzo on the Promenade and were was immediately and warmly welcomed by a member of staff. She was pleasant and smiley. Our table was perfection, tucked away in a secluded part of the restaurant, which was beautifully decorated, understated but presented in a modern Italian style.

The food was top notch, freshly made cuisine, naturally imported direct from Italy. Specials included chargrilled butterflied chicken breast and beef tomato slices, baked in the oven with melted cheese and served with gratinated potatoes. They were presnted well and timely delivered. There is a wide selection of pizzas, including the imaginative and tasy quattro stagioni - pepperoni sausage, seasoned chicken, artichoke, mushroom and mozzarella. Always get a bowl of olives and some garlic bread as a starter - which go well with any Italian meal. Prices are not cheap with a typical 3-course meal about £30 and a bottle of white wine about £16.

The atmosphere was lovely, not too busy and well-mannered. i really could not fault anything. There was some subtle Italian music in the background, but nothing too overbearing, allowing for some nice chit-chat.

Summary: Make a visit
