Prezzo Italian Restaurant Ipswich

You know what you're getting at this Buttermarket spot, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Tucked into the shopping centre, it's the sort of place that works for everything from a quick lunch break between shops to placating the kids with familiar pasta shapes. The staff actually seem to care, which isn't always a given with chains, and they'll happily tweak dishes without the usual eye-rolling. The menu sticks to safe Italian-ish territory – think creamy carbonaras, wood-fired pizzas that arrive properly bubbling, and risottos that won't change your life but won't disappoint either. It's reliable rather than revolutionary, but when you're dealing with three generations of family or need somewhere that opens before most independents have even thought about lunch, it does the job well.
