I went here for my birthday in October 2007 and the food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was good too. When we went it was a mid week night, but it was still quite busy, so I imagine Friday and Saturday night it would be packed!

The food is traditional Italian, and there is no pizza, but this wasn't a problem as the choice of meats, fish and pasta for mains was excellent. I've been meaning to go back ever since, as the food was great. Overall it is quite expensive, but it's still good value and well worth it!

Following up on a friend's recommendation, I chose this restaurant to meet up with two friends I had not seen for a long time.
We were greeted on arrival by a gentleman (later introduced himself as the owner) and accompanied to our table. The restaurant was full and the atmosphere was very good. We all felt relaxed and at ease with the place. We were presented with the menu by a lovely and helpful waitress. Although (thankfully) there where only 2 or 3 pasta dishes, the menu offered an excellent variety of meat and fish dishes as well as new combinations we had never seen before. After a very helpful advice from the waitress, we finally managed to order. The food arrived in good time, was very well served, generous and the presentation very good (hot plates). The owner advice on the wine was just right and it complemented our dishes very well. We all had a great evening and we will certainly recommend it to our friends. We will be back!

Il Camino Restaurant Maldon

15th March 2008
The occasion was my wife?s 21th Birthday party again, and included our sons and their young family, 10 of us in all. It took us over ¾ of an hour to settle and order, but we weren?t rushed by the staff and throughout the evening they were courteous & attentive without being pushy.
The restaurant was fully booked and the staff were very busy but gave our party good service. The restaurant had a good atmosphere, and despite the number of patrons we could still talk & hear each other from one end of the table to the other.
The menu offered a good variety of dishes & when our meals arrived the food was well presented & delicious and the size of portions was well judged, nor did they skimp on the vegetables which so many restaurants tend to do.
If I had to make a criticism, it would be that perhaps they could stagger the start times for the meals, but that has to be difficult to organize.

We went to this restaurant last week for my wife's birthday. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed. The service was poor: very slow, waitresses just stood around instead of looking for things to do i.e. fill wine glasses up, wine bottle was just left on the table without even filling the first glass up.

The food would have probably been good but unfortunately everything was swimming in the sauce that came with it.

Unfortunately we didn't make desert due to the length of time it took to have the first two courses.

Try it for yourself but we were disappointed
