Service very slow but was in a larger party, but they knew we were coming. My main course was very expensive for what it was. Not really as menu stated either.Needed a side which would have made it ridiculous. Very poor and I was very disappointed.My main concern was that my dish (which I saw was one of the most expensive) was just so watery (supposed to have been a sauce) came with no side . To have added one would have made it ridiculously expensive. I was so hungry I did eat it and kicked myself for not drawing it to
Your attention at the time. It was like out of the freezer and microwaved so was just water. Never saw garlic or onions!!! Had a dessert because hungry after what was like a wet snack. The full cost of meal was £56 (with wine) and I was appalled. I wouldn’t have mentioned the service or wait because I realise you were busy and a big table always a faff. But honestly as a person who eats out a lot it was the worse meal I’ve had all year. Sorry.

I come here with my family regularly for special occasions, the food is always sensational! The service can sometimes be a bit slow but they always seem to be understaffed, not the servers fault. I would still totally recommend (especially the tiramisu)

Friendly Staff. Real authentic Italian food. Reminds us of Italy when visiting family. Fresh and tasty. Very very nice. Will be going back often. The coffee is also very nice.

This is a decent place, and I really want to love the spot as it’s one of Wickford’s limited selection. However It turns out being decently good, but nothing amazing.
After 3 visits, I have tried a variety of things with different people – various pizza, calzone, lasagna, etc. Everyone I have visisted with holds a similar opinion on the place.
From my recent visit, I had the garlic bread which was a great starter, full of flavour and the perfect size. The butternut squash soup was also OK, maybe a little too sweet for me. I had the mushroom risotto, which had nice mushrooms, and a good amount of butter and parmesan – i enjoyed the dish but it was a little too soupy, and maybe the rice could’ve absorbed some more of this but overall it is good. This was in a lunch deal, and 2 courses for ~£14 is reasonable.
Unfortunately, the pizzas are not remarkable. The salami used on the diavola is fine, the cheese is fine, and the tomato is fine. The dough though doesn’t have a great texture, and whilst the flavour is ok it’s nothing like some pizzas you can get from other places. Perhaps Tony’s could strive for something like neapolitan style, as the steep price tags on some of these pizzas is just not worth it (above £15 in some cases). Whilst the lunch menu is priced well, I feel as if the dinner menu is a bit steep. The lasagna is again, decent but at £17 it’s hard to warrant.
I really like their oven baked calzone however – the street food options are very reasonably priced and im certain that other options like the arancini would be delicious like the calzone was.
The coffee machine was turned off on my recent visit, which was a real shame since that was part of the reason choosing an italian place to eat. But it’s ok, I will have to try it again some time.
Tony’s is good, and with some improvement, it could be GREAT. but for wickford, this is a just a decent eatery for now
EDIT IN RESPONSE TO OWNER:
The sarcasm in the response is pretty unecessary, let me respond to a few things here:
– Your dough is not bad, hence why I enjoyed it for the starter. However, you have to realise that these reviews are a matter of opinion and preference, and in my opinion, it didn’t really hit the spot for the pizza. That’s all. As a chef you should be able to take that. For your high quality ingredients as well, it’s not something that is making a difference clearly.
– Risotto – OK, you cook your risotto in a certain way. That’s fine, I expressed that I enjoyed it. I just pointed out some things that I think. It is my review after all.
– Butternut squash – yeah, of course it’s sweet, but as I said, a little too sweet FOR ME. doesn’t mean your soup is bad. Chill.
– Lasagne – I recognise the time and labour that goes into cooking these foods, and I think it’s commendable – once again, I never said it was bad, I actually called it decent and the price thing is simply true. It’s hard for everyone to get by with prices right now and £17 is a lot of money for some so it’s something to note. It’s just an observation.
– Coffee machine, ok that’s fine. We weren’t told about the leaking water, we were literally told it was turned off. Seems to be a miscommunication, which is no problem, just something that disappointed me.
I think maybe you should try to approach these things by taking them less personally, i’m not attacking you or your restaurant, i gave a detailed review of my experience and what i think. Sure, i’m not any expert on italian food, almost definitely not as much as you are but there is no reason to hold your pride so high.
And another thing to note – your take on Italian food, just because you are presumably Italian, does not mean your food is perfect, and it won’t be perfect to everyone. Having visited many Italian restaurants, Italy itself and staying in the company of Italian family and eating their cooking, this is my opinion on your food. It’s not a mindless bash on it but rather a balanced and honest way of displaying my experience.

Best pizza around, and a great selection of other Italian mains and street food. Had a lovely pair of pork chops with chips and a side salad, looking forward to the next visit!

I’ve been here before. Had some good lunches previously. Went at 1830 on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was quite full. Lovely atmosphere. The waitresses were nice too. The menu looked impressive. We opted for a starter and main course with the usual beverages. A little glitch with my starter. Put right but not recooked. There’s a service charge already added. I’ll try again. But I wasn’t impressed at all, which is a shame. It’s nice to have somewhere local to dine.

Had a lovely meal in this restaurant tonight the food was well presented and very tasty i had the salmon with asparagus and mash potatoes. And i have to say it was the best i have had. Came out piping hot. The staff was very helpful and nothing to much trouble would definitely go back.
