Prezzo - Farnham
7 The Borough, Farnham, GU9 7NA
Prezzo has been delighting diners for over seven years, and this Italian restaurant chain has since been able to expand throughout large parts of England and Scotland with some 141 outlets. Interestingly, the company seeks to restore either impressive buildings or ones of local interest. The conversion of the Newbury library and other listed buildings, such as those in Salisbury, Romsey and Mayfair, are all welcome examples of 'new use'. Their trendy and sophisticated décor usually consists of tiled or wooden floors with delicate lights and colourful paintings, along with wooden furniture and sparkling cutlery, creating a setting that is suitable for a relaxed lunch, a family meal or an evening out with friends.Prezzo has been delighting diners for over seven years, and this Italian restaurant chain has since been able to expand throughout large parts of England and Scotland with some 141 outlets.

The restaurants are of particular appeal to those who like genuine Italian cuisine, and they use only the best seasonal products, many of which are imported directly from Italy. The menu includes pizza, pasta, risotto, grilled meats, fresh salads and frequently changing specials.
The freshly baked breads, like the garlic bread with mozzarella cheese, are perfect for sharing and give you adequate breathing space to order starters to follow. Crab cakes served with garlic mayonnaise or grilled goat's cheese with plum tomatoes and caramelised onions on foccacia bread with a balsamic glaze tomatoes set the tone for a hearty meal. Best fun is to order an antipasto platter to share made up from seven well loved Italian nibbles.
Find pastas such as the unusual penne con salmone, with oak-roasted salmon, broccoli and fresh chillies in a red pesto and cream sauce carry firm favourites like spaghetti with meatballs, spaghetti bolognese, and fusilli al paesto, asparagus spears with field mushrooms and toasted peppers.
Amongst the special pastas, the crespolina porcini, rolled crepes filled with mushrooms and ricotta, cooked with parmesan and mushrooms in a cream sauce is interesting and different. Italian menus would be incomplete without risotto, like tiger prawns with petits pois in a creamy saffron sauce.
Classic pizzas embrace, among a wide selection, the popular napoletana, topped with tuna, tomato, anchovies, capers and marinated olives, and the much loved quattro stagioni - pepperoni sausage, prosciutto ham, artichoke, capers, marinated olives, mozarella, field mushrooms, mozarella and tomato.
Specials could include the pollo Siciliana, chargrilled butterflied chicken breast, smoked bacon rashers and beef tomato slices, baked in the oven with melted cheese and served with gratinated potatoes, only one example from the many tempting offerings that come out from the Prezzo kitchens.
You can accompany the food with a variety of tipples, though for many, Italian food requires Italian wines to be enjoyed to the full, ranging from house wine through Morellino di Scansano and Prosecco to liqueurs and beer, and there is espresso or fresh ground coffee to wind up an enjoyable meal, in company with a glass of grappa or sambuca.
This is Italian food at its attractive best, convincing and bringing together the traditional with the modern twist or two against a background of excellent value.
Prezzo is a lively group and opportunities to improve and update are never left on the table for long. Keep up to date with a quick click on their Website.

REVIEWS OF Prezzo - Farnham
Christine Geldard (3 December 2008)
This has been my favourite restaurant since my first visit approximately eighteen months ago. The food is exceptional, the members of staff are always welcoming and friendly, and the service is excellent. The wine is good and at a reasonable price. It is an ideal place to meet for lunch, or to spend a special evening with friends and loved ones. I am looking forward to my next visit, which is in a few days time with friends.
Lucy Frere (15 September 2007)
That was a lovely restaurant, where the service was good. They have a lovely courtyard garden, which was great to sit in when the sun shone. The wine was good value there, cheaper than some of the pubs nearby, they also have a great value, two courses for £7.95 lunchtime menu. The full menu had a wide range of dishes and the food was delicious.
