Amalfi 2 Cromar Way, Chelmsford CM1 2QE

"I came here first time and the food down to the customer experience was exceptional. As soon as you walk in you feel at home. That is truly the Italian experience with the home cooked food. Lovely little gem with authentic cuisine using the finest freshest ingredients."

"It is a prized gem serving Italian food in Chelmsford. We went to Amalfi a couple of times already and really loves the food. They are always tasty and well presented. We can tell just from the food that chef is passionate about cooking."

"My Partner booked dinner at Amalfi for us as a surprise and it was incredible! Andrea was so warm, friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about it and of course the food was amazing and authentic, we will definitely be visiting again.. and again and again P.S. the homemade Tiramisu was the best i have ever had"

"It was Monday and my wife and I wanted to mark a special occasion. I went on Google maps and chose a place with a good rating. Amalfi has a perfect 5 stars and is alone in this in Chelmsford as far as I can see. Now, a surprise. The bistro is situated on a busy business centre near to homebase. Call it an upmarket factory estate if you will, but don't let that put you off. Andrea, the chef welcomed and seated us, took our orders, waited, cooked, served and generally looked after us. He is a lovely man and deserves to get on. The ambiance is just right. There is something interesting to look at in every direction. You can watch him cook, plate up and gives you an intimate experience that you would not get elsewhere. Andrea is obviously proud of his venture and this shows in his attention to detail. I said to my wife at the time, eating out is about the food and not necessarily the surroundings. One can have the most beautiful surroundings and a second rate chef and your experience would be ruined. Fortunately, Andrea really knows his job and this is refected in the high quality of his food. For starters we both shared a bruschetta which actually was a work of art and truly delicious. I had the chicken escalopes in a lemon sauce with chips and the sauce was to die for. I was debating whether in the absence of bread I could soak it up with my serviette and eat the serviette! It was that good. My wife had pasta with prawns. She loved it. We both finished with a Rum Baba each and I had a double espresso to go with it. The coffee was great and the crema perfect. The price was very reasonable, so reasonable in fact that I thought he miscalculated. The whole experience was perfect for us and I do know a bit about cooking being a past chef myself. We will most certainly be back. Thank you Andrea - bellissima"
