Faluso Pizzeria — Restaurant in Tendring

Sadly I had high hopes having looked at the menu, our experince was not as expected. Having booked you would think to give a nicer table rather than offer it to a walk in, we sat in the corridor effectively and not offered any other table. I put it down to there being another booking however this was not the case.

Ordered drinks the coke arrived with no ice in a glass. I think they expected us to use the water glass left on the table. The garlic bread was little short of nit nice, there seemed to be little or no actual garlic only garlic infused oil. It had no seasoning and was doughy (not crisp on the bottom) and the smallest olive portion of brined non flavour olives.

Our starters were equally dissapointing, my misses calamari were pale and soggy as for my melanzane parmigiana was the poorest excuse of what I consider to be my favourite veggi dish ever!! Soggy aubergine and a tinny tasting tomato sauce (a sign the sauce had not been cooked long enough) Had two mouth fulls and had to pass. It was nited by the chef who took offence when I challenged his preparation of this great dish he defended it but I am still sure there was no frying of the aubos!!

Our pizzas (wood oven) were in the words of Mary Berry had a soggy bottom. This should not be the case (even pizza hut don't achieve this) both pizzas were again bland and lack the flavour expected from fresh oven cooked traditional Italian pizza.

I expect that this restaurant is busy with locals who have nothing to compare it to. However I hate Pizza Express yet sadly I would have had a better experince in this chain restaurant. The customer service needs a little attention and a burst of happiness as the attention to the guest was sadly over looked but what I can only imagen to be my upsetting the chef.

Would suggest popping to tesco to ensure a crispy bottom and flavour packed pizza. Very...

Faluso's is the definition of a hidden gem! Very small but punches huge character, the restaurant is quite tight and doesn't allow much room for larger groups, however has great atmosphere . Perfect for date night , it's casual but a little classy . The food tastes very clean, and the prices are quite respectable, I would highly recommended Faluso's over Piattos for Pizza. We had a takeaway, which was quick and accurate despite several topping changes, the only minor problem i'd say is that the opening times are not very flexible. TL:DR One of the best fancy pizzas around, opening...

We come up every few weeks from London with my dad, and we ALWAYS come to his favourite Italian restaurant... and its mine as well. A proper family run business which you rarely see nowadays. The staff are so polite and the food is outstanding for a fraction of the price. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone.. I have seen these 1 star reviews and do wonder where some of these people get the time to write essays like that and think it's ok to try and ruin a decent family...
