Fellinis Dolce Vita in Southend-on-Sea

Great food as always in Fellini's. Our lovely server really looked after us too. So good to go out for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and chill out. It's definitely one of my favourite restaurants in the area.

Visited Fellini’s on Sunday with my 2 daughters to celebrate my birthday after a recommendation from a friend. Totally overwhelmed ranging from welcome through to departure. Food amazing, service 2nd to none with the whole experience wondering how on earth I have only discovered this delightful gem in Leigh! Definitely recommend without a hesitation. Enjoy! 🍷🍹🥂🍸

Been here a few times, its become one of our favourite places to go.Always great service, amazing food & drinks. Would highly recommend :)

The best Italian we’ve been to in a long while. Fabulous service, delicious food, comfortable atmosphere. Well worth the drive from London. Highly recommend x

Fantastic experience. Booked for a table of ten for my fathers 80th birthday and the staff really were amazing. From accommodating us with our frequent changes to the number of guests on the booking, to the service on the day, I couldn’t have asked for more. We went for the lunch menu which had a wide variety of dishes and is excellent value. The food arrived quickly, hot, well presented and amply portioned. Everything we had was delicious and authentically flavoured. Would have taken pictures but everyone tucked in before I got the chance. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back at the earliest opportunity. Update: On our second visit the food and service were just as excellent as the first time, and this time I managed to take some photos!

Really bad. The tables are far too close together, when they give you a choice of joining the end of someone else’s table (they’ll say it’s a separate table- it really isn’t) or be crammed against their cutlery/ till drawers, then they probably should have just told you they were full and not booked you in. I know it’s hard to keep a restaurant going successfully but when you prioritise number of services in at one time over the customers experience to the degree that Fellinis do, it begins to look like greed. Also an unpleasant atmosphere as it seems to be largely full of groups of teenagers. The food is ok but when you have a backside in your face every minute as someone barges through the tiny gap between you and the next table to get to the kitchen, toilet, till, cutlery (that’s right under your arm) it’s a bit off putting. Won’t be going back and would never recommend.

What a lovely surprise. We came here Tuesday to celebrate my wife's birthday. My daughter booked this restaurant knowing what my feelings are regarding so called Italian restaurants in and around Leigh on sea. And being a trained chef and haveing some very poor experiences with so called Italian restaurants. I must say I was impressed from the moment we entered. To a lovely warm smile. Somebody takeing are coats and being seated at are table. The staff were very attentive. And helpful explaining the dishes to us.The food was very fresh and so tasty. The starters ie the meat balls were fabulous so tasty. Along with the spicey meat garlic bread and the selection of deep fried fish. ThumbsUp you have impressed me.The mains were very filling and very fresh my chicken Milanese was huge and tasty and my daughters pizza was large and fresh and tasty. While my wife had the Argentina prawns with pasta which she devoured.Desert was just as interesting and tasty.When I paid the bill. I asked the waitress if when paying the bill with a 15% service charge added did the staff actually receive it to which she said yes. That's good and nice to hear.So to sum up thank goodness there is a true Italian restaurant local to us. Food amazing. Service just as amazing. Ambience lovely did not feel rushed at any point.Prices on the higher end but you pay for what you receive and you receive alot at this restaurant.Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Extremely disappointing experience. Menu was limited, food poorly cooked and tasteless. The quality of the food will have to improve drastically for this place to survive when there are so many fantastic Italian restaurants elsewhere in the town (with far more competitive prices). Not a chance I will ever bother returning.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, and good service plus delicious food with decent size. We’ll be back .

My family took me to this restaurant for my birthday and the meal was fantastic. The food was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The servings were more than big enough. The dessert was one of the best sundaes I’ve had. The service was wonderful, attentive but not intrusive. We could actually hear ourselves speak to each other as the background music was just that, in the background. I can’t remember having a better meal anywhere else. I’d highly recommend this place to everyone. We’ll definitely be back again. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
