Unfortunately the table was not ready, albeit because previous occupants hadn't left. The restaurant, being small, hasn't an area for waiting clients so we had to stand outside, not good . So, it loses one star for this but luckily it wasn't raining. OK, we are now inside and the staff and food made up for this slight upset. Good, fast and friendly service. Nice atmosphere with exceptional food. Very large portions even for big eaters. Thank goodness they are not averse to 'doggy bags'. Even, a birthday cake surprise for our two hosts. Prices are more than reasonable for the sizes of the portions. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

There is a fantastic range of tastes on offer in this Al La Carte restaurant and the menu often has new additions. The owner/chef often finds time to talk to his customers and this adds to the great atmosphere in this quaint restaurant. The portion sizes are excellent and this is a great value for money place. If you try one restaurant in Maldon it has to be Il Camino; I don't know anyone who has a negative word to say about it and we have taken many friends there. This really is a fine dinning experience without any fuss and the best I have been too outside of London.

We thought we were eating at a fine dining establishment in London or New York. The food was exquisite! The salmon had a splendid saffron sauce and the chicken was tender and moist while being served in a rich cream sauce. One person in our party has the fazzoletti which just melted in your mouth. If the main meat dishes were not fabulous enough, one would also go gaga over the lightly steamed carrots, Italian squash and broccoli and seasoned roasted potatoes. We wished we could have ordered dessert, but the large portions filled us up. The service was the best we have had in England. And last, the ambiance was cozy, clean, and warm. The restaurant is in a building from the late 15 th century and has dark beams against light walls. This is bar none one of our top dining experiences. Three cheers to the Italian Chef/ owner. A must stop for any foodie.
