"We were in town for a conference and bagged on the plenaryreception to have a real dinner. This was close and got great reviews. First of all, the positive reviews already on this site are correct: it is a splendid little restaurant, with a creative menu and a very fine wine list. Because we had food that was a bit challenging to pick wines for my wife had the smoked duck and schnitzel, while I had the rabbit terrine and a schnitzel with saffroned risotto; we were at loggerheads about whether to get a red or a white, with me thinking that a sturdy north Italian white would be the better bet, we consulted the staff who served up a very fine Dolcetto, which worked very well.We arrived at early for Italy, and by the time our mains arrived, all the tables were filled. The noise level was OK and we could maintain a nice conversation without needing to raise our voices.The staff was very kind and considerate, but they appeared to be a bit shortstaffed for the Friday night crowd. The wine recommendation came minutes after our request for a consult. And my Borolobased dessert wine with bitters, yum! didn't arrive with dessert. In fact, I asked after it and it still did not arrive. Only when our staff was tallying up our bill was the mistake realized and they rushed the glass out to me. I'm glad they did. I think part of the problem is that a back waiter took the dessert order and it appears to have slid sideways. My Italian is virtually nonexistant although his English was a bit better. One can't really complain when dining on someone else's turf. The only real fault is that the staff was a bit frantic although very goodnatured.Excellent dinner"

"Experienced another pleasant evening and meal in Prezzo Swadlincote. We were here at least half a dozen times to use our Tesco Clubcard coupons triple to turn £10 coupons into £30 to a meal here... You can't go wrong... Without vouchers, you can expect about £20 per head for a two course and £27 for a 3 course plus your drinks. I have never tried to find several meals options to choose from the menu and has not been disappointed by my choices so far. Staff are friendly, attentive and seem intuitive enough to know when it is appropriate to get involved in the conversation or leave you in peace. The meatball star is always a delicious choice, but I went for crispy mozzarella with a spicy caprese ketchup this time. The presentation was nothing special, but was still a very nice starter with the caprese ketchup there was a little kick. The most important courses were oak smoked salmon penne and Tre Carni Calzone, the penne is the lighter of both meals. The Calzone is very beautifully presented with a dressed side salad and a sauce boat filled with a tomato sauce. As always with a calzone the ends have little or no filling (there comes the sauce boat) and you work slowly in the center where the main event lies. Full taste and very tasty I would like this food every time. I just have to try a fork full of the salmon court, but this could be my choice at the next visit With plenty of free parking outside, the restaurant itself looks clean, stylish with several different seating areas catering for family groups or intimate couples. It also has a gallery seating area where you can overlook the ground floor and bar area if you want to watch a little people with your conversation and food. Very impressed, I can see why it was one of the restaurants that the Prezzo-Kull survived before and during the lockdown and will be back in the near future."
