Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Essex

Squid ink pasta was a hit, as was the bolognese and bronzino. The meatball app was delicious. We loved our waitress who helped us pick out wines as - wow, their wine list is extensive/impressive.

I keep returning to San Lorenzo for its excellent food, very fine service and delightful atmosphere. My veal chop was of the highest quality, and the squash blossom is a personal favorite. There’s a very good, but overly expensive, wine list. The staff are very knowledgeable and quite friendly. I’ll be back.

First time, there were six of us. We were absolutely delighted to have tried it. From appetizers to dessert, and the main courses in between, everything was delicious. The fettuccine bolognese was excellent. The gnocchi pasta with cream sauce was good. The ravioli dishes and their ribeye dish was excellent. Thank you. We are fortunate to have an establishment like this close to home. We’ll be back to try other dishes. 😋

This place has fantastic plant-based pizza and desserts. Bring your own wine.

Incredible experience-food &service both flawless!!!
