If Italian food is your thing, this place is for you…read more It is a little expensive, but great food and great service makes it all worth while. They also have a licenced bar which offers a wide range of drinks for any occasion. It is situated directly opposite a large car park, so there's no problems with parking.

Me and my partner decided to try this restaurant on a whim because of our random obsession with…read moreitalian food. Honestly we wasn't disappointed, the atmosphere for a relatively small but lively restaurant was incredible everywhere your head turned people was smiling. I went for a Mussels starter which was amazing and the portion was huge i could of had it for a main! Then i had a Pizza and i am very picky with Pizza kinda my favourite takeaway put jeez it put me off my local pizza joint it was that good. Lastly for desert i had the profiteroles the chocolate sauce over it was thick and extremely rich and the cream inside was satisfying! I've not got much of a sweet tooth myself so maybe this was a little to much for me but still delicious! The only thing that upset me was that when i wanted to give a tip both of us had forgot to bring cash and they wouldn't accept one through card. In conclusion if you love italian and great service then go to The Flying Pasta just make sure you bring some cash to tip! They deserve it.

Good Italian, pizza / pasta, airing on the pizza express side of things, however this has more of a…read moreunique twist on the food (fresh tasting ingredients, less of a factory model) with nice variation of cheeses and toppings (beetroot and balsamic reduction, courgette and garlic). They have a small but reasonable selection of wine, although don't always expect the server to know much about them (they all seem very young, or maybe I'm old now), "dry white" was the description for the house white and when asked if know the grapes or how it taste, "nop it's just dry I dont know anything about the wine", however saying this if I was really fussed (which I wasn't and changed to a red by then), I could have asked to try it This is a place where you need to go when your v hungary and not on a diet to fit in the full 1st, 2nd and 3rds - the experience won't dissapoint. The Rosemary bread as a starter is to die for and the vanilla gelato with expresso shot - well what's not to like, simple sweet and bitter (although also know the chocolate desserts are also worth a try - assuming you have room left) Oh and a couple more logistic points, it has a good atmosphere, they have this one (busy / trending(ish) area of leigh, essex) and another location in rayleigh Essex (this is quieter but building is a lot more impressive)

Wine was good value and prices overall reasonable for the fare offered; not cheap but not over the top either. Just the one waiter who was also the owner. He was very attentive and pleasant. The one downside is that the restaurant was nearly empty at 8 ish on a Saturday night! This is a great shame and Pavarotti definitely deserves to be better patronised.
