Awful awful awful service. Took 30 minutes to get the kids carrot sticks and hummus and COLD…read moremozzarella sticks. Then another 30 for the world's most terrible pasta. Cranky blonde woman in a pink shirt who was working there was SO RUDE and completely dead behind the eyes. Blecccch

Went here for a family dinner last Sunday. We made reservations and I'm very glad we did, as the…read moreplace was quite busy. Prezzo used to be a bank, and you can tell from the style of the interior - pillars going up the sides, very high ceilings, etc. It is definitely lively with all tables full, and sitting right in the middle of Torquay. My boyfriend and I split the calamari to start which at £5.95 was overpriced for the amount you get it. It was just a few rings per person, and while the batter and the pesto mayo were both very good, I think the calamari was overdone. It was too tough. I'm well aware it's supposed to be rubbery but this was far tougher than I expected. Entrees were better - I got the spaghetti with lobster. One of the nice things Prezzo does is offer a "light" option for almost all pastas, where they give you a smaller portion and add a side salad. The calories go down, and the price goes up by about £1 - guess that salad is pricey to make?? But I got a normal portion which was smaller than I expected - I keep having to remind myself that this is not America! Still it will fill you up! It was a very tasty dish with some grilled vegetables and a nice pesto sauce. Pasta is not homemade but was well cooked. My boyfriend got the steak and rocket pizza which was very nice. The crust was very crisp and there were lots of pieces of steak, cherry tomatoes, olives, and more on each piece. We split some dessert - the nutella and banana calzones. These were found a little odd by everyone in our group. We all wanted them to be served warmer, but they were really about room temperature. The calzone dough is just pizza dough - so it isn't sweetened with sugar or anything like that. Also the bites around the edges are all just dough - you have to aim straight for the middle to make sure you get nutella and banana in a bite. And those bites were great - how can you go wrong with nutella, but I think they could've changed a few things to make the dish nicer. Service wasn't terrific. The women who served us seemed genuinely confused at various places. English wasn't their first language which is fine, but they actually seemed to have trouble understanding us. Wine pouring was sloppy and nearly resulted in a spill (on me!) which gave me a little heart attack. And they kept coming round after each course to bring more silverware and napkins. I had my napkin in my lap, and they put a new one on the table before the entree and the dessert, so by the end I had three napkins in my lap for no reason. I just don't think they know what on earth is going on. I would return since the food is mostly good, but a few changes in service would go a long way to making Prezzo better.

Came here for lunch and it is definitely a family friendly and orientated place for a meal. The…read morewaitress that served us was both welcoming and informative. I got a bambino pizza and a salad. They use real wood Fire oven to cook the pizzas in and it was really beautifully cooked. The salad was delicious but just lacked that little extra (maybe basil?). My dining companion had linguine which was just a bit undercooked. All in all a great lunch spot, reasonably priced and very welcoming staff! Just needs that extra umph on the food front to take it to a 5 star. But they're fairly new so there's time....

We walked past this colourful, vibrant looking restaurant on our first brief afternoon in Looe and…read moreearmarked it for a potential visit during our week in the area. Glad to say we got involved early doors on the second night. As you'd expect on a mid-September Wednesday early evening in a tourist hotspot in Cornwall, it wasn't exactly heaving. Nowhere is at 5.30. Too early for the ravers, too late for the biddies, perfect for the young-parent crowd, which we are firmly in the camp of. Speaking of, there was another young family there (who incidentally we'd seen wandering the cobbled streets of Polperro earlier in the day) and a middle aged, childless couple in situ. Regardless, the service was exceptional. The very clearly authentically Italian server was attentive and helpful throughout and happy to chat and give recommendations. In addition to this, he went above and beyond for aforementioned Baby G - he was grizzling, as is his way at the moment, which was obvious for all in the restaurant to see. I was walking him around when he offered some free breadsticks to keep him occupied. It worked! He also engaged with Asa in a card swapping game - coincidentally (?) handing over a 'rate us on Tripadvisor' card in exchange for one Asa had just picked up. Cynical, moi?! Couple more little, but noticeable, things - he washed up ALL of the dude's paraphernalia, plate, bib and spoon. Really appreciated that. And also the food came at the perfect temperature - not too hot as it always is in every other restaurant we go to, thereby incurring a tentative wait while it cools. They clearly know how to deal with kids, and are truly a 'family friendly' place. Onto the food - Em had a Bianco pizza (garlic butter, pulled pork, mushrooms and rosemary) which was genuinely delicious. Creamy and packed with flavour, with a crispy thin base, and cooked to perfection. To the point where I wish I'd had the same. Honestly one of the best pizzas I've tried for a long time. My beef ragu was very nice, beef shin and pork ragu making the difference between it and a spag bol. Big chunks of meat, spaghetti with the right amount of bite and bounce, and seasoned to perfection. Asa's penne pomodoro was very well received - he essentially inhaled it. Which is about as good as you can expect from a bebe. Dessert was 2x affogato's, which I haven't had for a while. The gelato was gorge - creamy af, and the espresso was lovely but would have preferred it hot. Drinks-wise, Em had her standard prosecco, I had a next level G&T- Malfy Rosa with pink grapefruit. Apparently it's a Sicilian pink grapefruit gin with a hint of rhubarb. I've already got a bottle on order. The overall experience at Mama J's was of sheer joy and blissful happiness. Get here. Now.
