Wow. Lived in Colchester for 5 years and no idea how I missed this gem. Great atmosphere and decor. Makes you feel like you are in the Med. Food was world class and I'm definitely coming back. The crab starter was out of this world and lobster main amazing.

An absolute find! We just wanted an early meal before a show at the Mercury and we hit lucky. Really delicious subtly flavoured dishes. Friendly service - family run. We were first in at about 5:45 but would be wise to book at dinner. Really enjoyed - will return!

Worse restaurant experience.Made to wait over 40 mins for our prebooked table. Would have walked out but was a Saturday night and doubted we'd get another booking. Manager didn't even apologise.No drinks offered when we sat down. Starter was incorrect. Food in general was tasteless. Only restaurant which didn't offer some reduction in the bill due to the appalling service.Two members of staff were apologetic and polite other than that, awful, disappointing experience.

Came across this restaurant by chance last saturday and how lucky was we. The atmosphere was warm and friendly the staff was polite and helpful the interior was designed to make you feel like you was on holiday and the food was fantastic. we both tried food we had not eaten before and thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening. Great value for the money and cant wait to take the rest of the family back

Came here for 20th Wedding Anniversary with my wife. Nice and cosy atmosphere, well presented food, good customer service. Everything went well. Loved the prawn dishes, can't remember the names now. If you come to Colchester, you must visit Ristorante F. Will be coming back.

Ristorante Favoloso is a brilliant place to take someone on a date. The atmosphere here is INCREDIBLE and the food is amazing! I was absolutely astounded by the quality and service! The staff are really lovely people and they're always very helpful. One of the best family run restaurants in Colchester!

On Saturday, 9th December my friend and I went to Ristorante Favoloso.What an awful experience. We had a table booked for 7pm but, even though we arrived on time, we were not shown to our table until 7:40pm because someone was still occupying it!! We were not provided with any complimentary drinks or snacks whilst we waited. We were just given the menus and then asked for our orders whilst waiting for our table to come free. It was only when we finally got to our table, we could see that there were specials up on the board. Because we had to chose what we wanted from the menu in the reception area, we didn’t get an opportunity to chose from the specials!! When our starters came out, we had to send one back as it wasn’t what we ordered. When the main courses came out, one of them wasn’t great so was left uneaten. The tables in the restaurant were packed so tightly together that the noise in there was ridiculous. By the time we’d finished our mains, we couldn’t hear what the other was saying and, even though we wanted dessert and another drink, we just asked for the bill so we could beat a hasty retreat. We asked for a reduction on the bill due to the inordinate delay in waiting for the table, plus the fact we didn’t get a chance to look at the specials, plus the fact one of the starters came out wrong. We were told, categorically, no!!! We begrudgingly paid the bill (we didn’t leave a tip) and left there and went somewhere else to get dessert and a cup of tea. I can honestly say, that was the worst dining experience we’ve ever had!!

Absolutely gorgeous gem of a restaurant. If you're even considering going, go. Waitress was amazing. Food was superb (I haven't had scallops cooked that well in many years). And it's got brilliant vibes.

Wow, this place is absolutely excellent! The service was a little slow, but it seemed some of the staff were new, and it was a busy Saturday night so this can be forgiven. The range of fish specials was great, alongside traditional pizza/pasta, and the lobster & scallops dish I had was better than those I’ve enjoyed in high end restaurants - at a more reasonable cost too! Highly recommended, a hidden gem.
