I also think their prices are pretty reasonable for Harpenden and their Lunch specials are awesome! Pasta or pizza, with garlic bread and a soft drink for 7.99 is a pretty good deal.

This place came at the recommendation of a colleague who lives in St. Albans. Having been raised in…read morethe Itlaian neighborhoods of the NY suburbs, I have relatively high standards for an Italian deli. And this is a great little deli. The locals seem to flock to this place pretty frequently. The owners new customers by name (always a great sign), and there was a line when we got there (which moved quickly). Plenty of pastas, paninis, antipastas, and more. We placed a massive order for 5 people and sat outside. Everything was delivered quickly and we ate while reaching our forks over each other's plates to make sure everything was tried, and nothing was missed. I didn't spend too much time looking, but there is a little shop as well which offers different sauces, pastas, etc. for purchase. They all look delicious, and great for a gift basket.

Lovely little authentic Italian deli with seating inside and out to sip the great coffee.read more

The old guy in the kitchen (is he the owner) is really funny and very friendly the other staff too. And he's really doing a great job. The food takes a while but is made fresh from scratch out starter, the bruschetta was fantastic, the sea food salad was made fresh which is rare. And the pasta was really tasty and cooked perfectly al dente. Unfortunately we were to full to try the desserts but the neighbors on the other table said it was fantastic! It's a quite small room but has some atmosphere. It would need some renovation, than it would be perfect. For me the best Italian restaurant in Luton that I have found yet.

After finding this charming restaurant, we entered and were created warmly. We were starving and tried the Mozzarella starter, which was fabulous!! Then we decided to try the dough balls, they were amazing!! After that we got a salad, the dressing was fantastic and the salad in total was really fantastic. Both us choose a pasta dish and they were top notch! I would make this a regular if I lived here! Everyone was kind and made feel so welcome! I highly recommend stopping by and giving it a try!!!

I recently went to Prezzo with a large group of friends for a post-Christmas catch up. The…read morerestaurant in Harpenden is a collection of smaller rooms rather than a large open plan space. This meant that our group had a room to ourselves which is quite nice as you don't feel like you're making too much noise for neighbouring tables. The food was a bit of a let down though. The tricolore salad starter was nice but nothing special. It was an average tomato and mozzarella dish with avocado. I would not recommend the crab cakes main though which are very bland and need a lot more seasoning. Even the lemon wedges couldn't salvage them. Other people at my table seemed to enjoy their pizzas and calzones so I'd suggest sticking with those. I wouldn't go for the food, but I'm giving it three for the space and service.
