I am getting disappointed with Prezzo now. Over years, the breadboard is getting worse and worse. It used to be a selection with fresh baked breads with vinegar and olive oil. But look what do they serve now! It should be called pizza breads with different toppings! I tried the new pork belly. Apparently it cooked too well, and the meat tasted hard and dry. I'm afraid I didn't enjoy it at all. I've tried similar pork belly dish at Ask Italian, and theirs is tender and juicy, and way better than Prezzo. Spaghetti meatball from the kids menu... Sorry that does not look like meatball. It looks more like sausage meat and my kid didn't like it. I'm sorry to say that Prezzo is now removed from my dine out list.

Poor, poor service. Gave dirty plates on the starter, had to request replacement cutlery after main course, kept leaning across the table to hand out the plates - rather than served, had to request 2 servers 5 times for just a jug of water and finally very uneven portion sizes! Their staff really need re-training (or even training?) on how to serve food around a table. Shame as the food itself was pretty decent.
Have been there before but felt rather underwhelmed this time. Went with my family (2 adults 3 kids) for a birthday. Decor is good. Ambiance great and very local. Garlic pizza had little taste but was fresh. Mains were rather bland and my wife was not impressed at having to go fishing for not many shrimps in her risotto. I asked for some wine with my main, which arrived as the plates were being cleared. Kids happy with their pizza though. My daughter (who's birthday it was), was not overly impressed.
We went to Prezzo on a Saturday evening. The manager gave us some olives on the house. Food was great and reasonable prices. Staff were not very attentive, we found ourselves having to ask twice for multiple things. After the mains had been taken away no one offered us desserts and we eventually just went to the front bar to get the bill and left. Overall nice food but the staff were not attentive.
Food was Ok. Family meal out: my pizza was good, son's pasta was bland, as was wife's, daughter's chicken salad was predominantly bitter leaves. Nice building (old Methodist hall?). Staff were fine. Just not somewhere I would ever rush back to. Too many other places to choose from.
Great food, excellent staff, but terrible climate control. The food here is consistently good and the staff are most helpful and pleasant, and a reason to return, but beware if the weather is very hot or very cold, because the Prezzo interior will reflect and amplify that with a vengeance. I've been in Prezzo Newbury when it's been so cold I had to put on a coat and scarf in order to eat comfortably, and I've also been when it's so unbearably hot that I had to ask for my food to be boxed up to be taken home instead of enjoying it in the restaurant. A little investment in decent climate control and this place would be significantly more pleasant.
Good service, good food and reasonable prices. A bit open plan so not a choice for an intimate meal, but still, an enjoyable pit stop after shopping
First time I have been and was really surprised how excellent from start to finish the food quality was I really don't do large food chains! The three waitors that night we friendly and helpful made our evening out a pleasure.
