Prezzo Restaurant

I recently went to Prezzo with a large group of friends for a post-​Christmas catch up. The restaurant 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.

Prezzo’s is one of my favourite restaurants but I was particularly impressed whilst dining at the one in Harpenden with my friends recently. We wanted to change our reservation to slightly later as the sun was shining and they were very accommodating. They have a garden out the front where you can enjoy a drink or your dinner. Our waiter ‘Martin’ was very efficient and humourous which made the experience even more delightful. The food was delicious and the option to choose two smaller portions of two different pasta dishes was great when it was difficult to chose between the extensive menu.
