Prezzo Italian Restaurant Buckingham in Lai
Description
Privilege
Not the best welcome no such thing as meet and greet ,wanted to sit outside as friend not good ,look on waitress face wasnt happy to serve outside as on her own ,why have tables out side! ,and do i need to know that she is on her ,own, i dont need to know anything about how her day is going ,ordered garlic bread sharing platter ,arrived as a child portion waitress said she would happily get another ,but it was not pointed out there would be a charge so two child portions cost £15.00 ,apparently the garlic sharing platter cant be stretched,? not sure what that means as i believe the idea of pizza is to throw it about and stretch it ,i had a chicken Alforno again very much portioned controlled but was tasty ,not that the waitress would know as we never saw her again overall bad service wondering if its changed hands ,
MoreGood food and good service. Many thanks.
Prezzo has amazing food and drink for all. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and it was outstanding. Thank you for a great experience. The staff were also amazing and really helpful
MoreIm not a pizza lover so opted for the lasagne, which tbh was a runny, flavourless mess..The young lady who served us was friendly and efficient.
MoreI wouldnt recommend this place at all, i dont usually leave bad reviews but unfortunately Prezzo experience was 0. I am glad i havent brought my family with me as the attitude of the stuff is very rude.
MoreWe booked a table for 3 people, arrived on time at 18:15. We only order 2mains and children pizza, which took 80mins to arrive. If the didn’t have the staff, tell us the wait food is long or don’t take the booking
MoreNice food and kind and friendly staff.
Probably the best Prezzo I have been to! The bruschetta here is one of the best Ive ever had - hands down it beats some independently owned Italian restaurants that Ive been to. For a chain this is exceptional.Decided to go for the sea bass with pesto gnocchi - it was absolutely delicious.All of the food was piping hot. Service was impeccable. Restaurant is set in a really old Tudor-style building.Will definitely be back.
MoreVery nice lunch very helpful and friendly service
Food wasnt amazing but service was good
We reserved a table for 4 adults and 4 children for Sunday lunch. Food was lovely and the staff were very helpful, warm and attentive. Special mention goes to Tudor, top man!
MoreFound this quite expensive for the quality and choice of food. Service charge added to bill if you prefer to tip yourself
MoreWarm drinks, okay food, and when we asked to take away we were given a box & a bag 🤣🤣🤣Even McDonalds PUT it in the bag for you 🤣🤣
MoreAfter spending 19 hours in the emergency department of the hospital we arrived in Buckingham around 2 pm and as we were hungry we decided to go to eat at Prezzo, which we had never been to before.As soon as we entered we saw a middle aged blonde woman who asked us if we had a reservation (which surprised me because the restaurant was empty except for 2 tables, I thought that she didnt seem to control the reservations she had, if she managed it well she would have known that we didnt have a reservation). She spoke to us all the time in a very rude way and looked down on us.We placed our order, but about 2 minutes later I went to the bar and asked her to please change some dishes, she spoke to me very rudely and started banging on the computer to cancel the dishes very aggressively and very angry.We ordered the following:Caesar salad, the portion of food is too small to be worth £13.95, a supermarket bag has a lot more, and they brought it to us without the egg.Spaghetti Bolognese, when we came in we saw at one of the tables that they served it with a large amount of bolognaise on a separate plate but they brought us very little bolognaise on top of the spaghetti, it doesnt seem to me to be a dish worth £13.50.Penne Alla Rusticana, a lot of penne and not enough chicken and only 4 small pieces of ham, the pepper was also scarce, the sauce was more like cream with a little tomato for colour, not much flavour, not a dish worth £14.50 eitherI had to go and get it to ask for grated cheese, the other table next to us had a large bowl of grated cheese for the same diners and we got a very, very small portion.For dessert we ordered tiramisu which was brought to us with a blonde hair on top.To pay I had to go again to look for her who was on the terrace sitting at a table with the chef looking at her mobile phone.We were treated as if we were not good enough for the restaurant or could not pay the bill, the meal cost us £64.10, which seems very expensive for the treatment and the food, in my opinion they gave us smaller portions because the manager did not like us. I have never been made to feel so bad. Of course I will never go to a Prezzo again.
MoreAccommodated my daughters 9th birthday, 10 very noisy girls didnt phase them at all , thankyou so much for making this birthday one to remember ❤️
MoreGreat place excellent food all served by helpful happy staff
A very pleasant evening and good dishes served to us by Victoria - a very accomplished young lady.
MoreGood food friendly staff extensive menue
Very good. Food was nice. Quick and polite service. No complaints
Friendly staff and great food service was nice and quick in a lovely old building.
MoreGod awful service. 25 mins just for drinks and very rude staff.
Great food, friendly service if a little slow.
Nice place, food, staff fab. Place just seemed a bit flat, had food about 12.30ish Friday. Very few people, feeling eating out is a thing of the past. Same feeling in a lot of places. Pretty expensive aswell, would eat here again not 1st choice however.
MoreGreat food and courteous service. The waitress was so kind and professional in her service to my family.
MoreStaff arguing across the restaurant throughout the brief 40 minutes we were there before we decided to leave, 20+ minutes wait for starters, however food was decent.
MoreNice food very covid friendly
Beautiful food made to feel very welcomedServed by an amazing young lady who had just started that day wouldnt have known she was so good 😍
MoreVery attentive service, much appreciated as we arrived early with young baby - placed at a roomy table to accommodate highchair. Ordered delicious cocktails (incl Seedlip 👍👍which made whole birthday lunch v enjoyable. Excellent kids menu which totally suited the 4yr-old. Also, commendations for roomy, v clean toilets (altho upstairs). However, baby change downstairs 👍👍
MoreOn our date night out we were given good service and yummy food. Much thanks to our server Adam! :)
MoreHad New Years Eve dinner with the family. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was great thank you.
MoreThe food was delicious and the staff were so attentive and polite. We will certainly be visiting the restaurant again.
MoreNice surroundings, friendly staff, not too busy. Risotto a bit undercooked. Asked for the NHS QR code to check on to the covid app and was told we dont do that any more !
MoreGreat food, but even better service. The Manageress is an absolute star - she always makes us feel so welcome, and the kids are always really well looked after (I dont know how wed survive without the activity sheet and crayons!). Thank you so much guys
MoreVery poor service and odd behavior let this place down.We went as a family and after starters, the waitress asked if we were all ready for the mains..we said yes.Food was brought out to all but our 6 year old child who was told her food was not ready and still in the oven and she would have to wait 10 mins for it!! How bad is that!She expected us all to sit there eating in front of our small child while she sat with nothing?Our child was about to cry and so we all decided to wait as well. The waitress kept saying she wont be long and said she could see our daughter was very upset and that it will be out soon.Why the hell ask if we are ready for our mains when they clearly wernt!!We ordered desert. Childrens ice cream arrived after 10 mins, but no show for ours. I asked for bill as fed up waiting and suddenly desert arrived instead!Paying bill...very weird behaviour..I could feel the waiter very close to my shoulder as I was trying to put my pin into the reader and turned the machine away, I still felt him there and looked to my shoulder and he was staring at what I was typing. I had to actually ASK HIM to move away to which he said really bluntly, "I didnt see what you typed!! "Terrible service, weird staff. Will stick to Prego next time.
MoreHad an absolutely brilliant meal here. We all opted for the pizzas and were all very impressed. Tastes good and were bigger than we expected. Staff were attentive and pleasant to talk to as well.
MoreIt was a bit expensive for a fairly ordinary lunchtime menu. Also overcharged us. Was disappointed to see that the staff didnt wear masks when serving our food.
MoreFive of us had a great meal here in Saturday night. Lovely service, decent food and an amazing building. Thanks so much.
MoreMy husband and I had a lovely lunch this week at Prezzo Buckingham. The staff were absolutely brilliant, so friendly. The food was delicious and we will be back soon.
MoreI had a takeaway meal last night with my son and family in Buckingham. The meal was so bad I asked him to take it back, he kept apologising . The food was cold and full order not fulfilled. This morning I have bad indigestion never going there again.
MoreIts run of the mill, sometimes verging on good, Italian style food and now with a slightly limited COVID menu. Service is fast and efficient, food is consistent, place is always busy - but you never leave thinking wow - like most chains I guess. I always enjoy it as I love Italian style food, but have felt a bit rushed before.
MoreThis is a really beautiful building with beams and history so a really nice setting. Superb service from a lovely and friendly waitress (thanks Jaimie), the food was excellent and it was just a brilliant experience. We all loved it.
MoreThe food and service was fantastic! Our waiter, Henry, was very attentive and courteous and made sure that we enjoyed our dining experience :)
MoreAmazing place, very much clean, very nice food and lovely staff. The building is so nice inside... just amazing.
MoreIt was great place to eat back in Uni, there is always something to try and good deals with a voucher app.
MoreThe service and food was excellent we had a nice young waiter who Accomadated us well, we had our starters, and after only 2 minutes the mains went out, far to quick after just eating the first course, we werent asked if or when we wanted our 2nd course. Maybe some communication between the staff and customer would be useful.The only thing is they couldnt make a Irish coffee it was awful and nasty. But cant fault the quality of the service and food was excellent thank you so much for a nice visit
MoreDelicious food served by friendly helpful staff. A totally enjoyable experience, thank you 😁
MoreTeriffic place to go for diner! Great food and good service! Went there with a colleague after our training at Cognex in Milton Keynes.
MoreUnder new management and wow! What a difference. Really good energy, staff were efficient and ready to have a laugh with us. Felt very welcomed unlike previous visits of a few months ago where I felt barely tolerated as a customer.Bravo Prezzo Buckingham. Keep up the good work.
MoreI went to Prezzos in Buckingham this evening with my Family. Its a lovely old building and we had a great table!! The menu has really improved with lots of choice, each of us had a starter and a main dish and every one was delicious and well presented! The main reason for me giving a 5 star review is due to our young waiter; Jayson. He was incredibly friendly and polite and I have honestly not come across such good, and attentive service in a long time!! Our whole table were very impressed with Jayson and I hope this review provides him with the credit he deserves!! I am currently on Slimming World so had quite a fussy order and he remembered and accommodated me perfectly!! Many thanks!!!
MoreThe manager was very rude to us from the beginning. We were told we would have to wait 20 mins before we could order even the the place was half full. They forgot our starters and gave me the wrong main course. The waiter was great, very helpful and even replaced my partners food because it was too spicy to be edible. The manager was clearly angry about this and when the food arrived it had clearly been thrown together by an angry chef. We left feeling very disappointed and over £50 out of pocket.
