We booked a party of 20 to enjoy a birthday party.our hopes were rally high as the prices of the food were higher than avarege but as soon we walked in it stinks up to high heaven. the sitted us in the corner were it was really dusty and smelly. After few order our drink order arrived correctly. The tall waiter didnt understand what was we ordering. the guy who was serving the food was really understanding and better english spoken.but the food were as cheap as tesco. Finally we all agreed we should brought some tesco food stayed at home then spending all this money on here. We will not go there for food nor recommend anyone to eat there.

I have to say that I've dined at Pietro's a couple of times now. This is because different sets of friends have made the reservation. I believe that it's hard to find a great restaurant in Essex, but I still hold out hope every time a new establishment opens it's doors. The location and building are just right, an old tea room tucked away within the picturesque village of Stock. The food is slightly above average and not particularly good value. (I'll pay anything for top nosh!) It's missing atmosphere and needs to loosen up. It has potential to become a convivial, buzzy restaurant serving homely, tasty italian food, but misses the boat. Go there once as a change from all the other average restaurants nearby, but I don't think you'll rush back.
