Il Camino Italian Restaurant In Maldon, Essex brings authentic Italian cuisine to Maldon High Street.
Refurbishment of the building has been a labour of love for owner Maurizio. This is reflected in both the traditional painting methods used on the walls and the open timber beams that frame this beautiful restaurant. Owner Maurizio has overseen these changes in correspondance with the council to make sure it's history has been maintained intact.

With a great attention to detail Il Camino has proved popular with the inhabitants of Maldon and now it's reputation has begun to spread further afield throughout Essex.

The first time I visited this restaurant with my wife was on the 14th February 2009, our Valentine Dinner.When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly ataff and and extraordinary surrounding. The whole ceiling was covered with red ballons, on the table there was a beautiful red rose and a little teddy bear. Before ordering we were presented with a complementary Kir Royale, olive and atipasto. The 7 choice set menu offered great variety of dishes which we found diffucult to choose from. The food was very well presented and cooked to perfection. The service was very attentive but not intrusive and we were allowed time to relax. We had a fantastic evening and we really enjoyed the food and the whole athmosphere. Sice then we visited the restaurant with friends on a couple of accasions and we always had good experience. We highly reccoment this restaurant and it will be always our first choice.

Friends and I ate out at Il Camino last night after reading the reviews on this website. We were not disappointed.
Our host and restaurant owner Maurizo was charming and the food was excellent. The menu which can be seen online on their website is very extensive. I did comment before visting the restaurant that if the food was as good as the menu we would be in for an evening of gastronomical delights and I was not wrong.
The food on offer was extremely well presented and exceptionally tasty. Ranging from wild boar and vension to a large variety seafood.The sauces were delicious and not too strong and made you want to lick the plate clean!
Overall this restaurant was a surprising find particularly in Maldon. It is an Italian restaurant with a difference; there is little pasta on the menu as the food comes from Maurizio's part of Italy which as he said is in the centre and little known. Recipes have been handed down over generations.
This is a restaurant which I would definitely recommend and we will definitely be bringing friends back to eat in Il Camino.

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!
