Pasta Pia in Southend-on-Sea

Brilliant food and service as always, great place to eat 😋

Very small, but busy. Staff are very nice. Food good. The puddings were massive!!

A lovely little restaurant offering dine in or take away options. The food is delicious, served by really welcoming and friendly staff. I didn't realise beforehand that it was Bring Your Own Alcohol but that wasn't an issue - I got to try lychee juice 😋 After a very tasty piadina, the dessert menu was also too tempting to turn away, and the hot peanut butter brownie was totally sumptuous. It can be a little cosy inside the restaurant so in the current situation it was helpful to find out that they have a little seating area out the back for open air dining.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Most delicious food and the kindest staff.❤️

Ordered 5 Piadinas. 2 Lasagnes. 2 Mac 'n Cheese. Garlic Bread x3 and a Cheese Board.Turned up on time but tepid. The Piadinas, all different fillings, hadn't been labelled so required being peeled apart to work out who's was who's and which ones contained meat. Same with the lasagnes, one being a vegetarian option.Piadinas and Lasagnes were bland. The Mac 'n Cheese were so dry, they were left half eaten.The garlic bread was 3 slices - which may have passed some garlic on the way out of the front door - and measured 3 inches by 1 inch.The cheese board turned up, minus the 'Italian Crackers' and cost £8. See photo.This was meant to be a meal for my daughters 13th birthday.My daughter had been looking forward to this all day but ended up leaving her meal as it was so disappointing.£87... I won't be ordering again.

Very nice little, and I mean that literally, Italian. Food is excellent, service is quick and friendly. The dining area is quite cramped but this only adds to its charm. My Tagliatelle Bolognese was fantastic and my partners Piadina (kind of a very thin base, folded pizza) was delicious. Because of time constraints we didn’t have time to sample the dessert menu but we will certainly be back. Highly recommended

As the guy outside the place said, "if u want some proper Italian local food, here's the place" which turns out to be true! Lovely Piadina always make me wanna go back again. Its my second time today and decide to share this amazing place with people around!

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Incredible Italian street food at low prices. It’s teeny tiny in here but I think it adds to the atmosphere. Even eat in food is served in card containers with plastic forks. Just FYI.

Lovely little place with a big friendly atmosphere.. I can imagine the place feeling quite close when it's busy as it's so small, but I popped during lunch and I was just the right amount of cozy. Food was done quick and tasted very nice.

Really friendly. Fast service. The folded flatbreads are really good. The Chalkwell cafe is small but charming. There is a larger branch in Southend-On-Sea off the high Street.
