Prezzo Italian Restaurant Southport

If you're after reliable Italian in town, Prezzo on Lord Street is a solid shout. It's a chain, yeah, but the Google reviews are decent – 4.3 stars from over a thousand reviews, so they're clearly doing something right. They do the usual pizzas and pasta dishes, nothing too fancy, but good for a dependable meal.

It's a good option if you've got the kids in tow; they've got a separate kids' menu which always helps. It’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere, so you won’t feel out of place with the little ones. It works for couples too, just not the spot for a super romantic, special occasion. Think more casual dinner than candlelit romance.

They’re open pretty late most nights, until 9:30 PM during the week and 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which is handy. Price-wise, it's mid-range, so not the cheapest but not going to break the bank either.

If you're planning on going on a Friday or Saturday night, especially with a bigger group, it's probably worth giving them a ring on 01704 795008 to book a table.
