A little corner of Italy in the heart of Essex.

Welcome to Otto, an Italian restaurant, pizzeria and cafe. Our menu includes authentic fresh pasta dishes, classic Italian desserts and Neapolitan pizza. We’re open as a cafe during the day, serving breakfast followed by our restaurant menu and focaccia sandwiches. Whether you’re joining us for your morning coffee, a relaxed lunch or a cocktail and charcuterie with friends, Otto is here to welcome you.

RESTAURANT

Our restaurant showcases the best of traditional Italian cooking with a modern twist.

​​

Our new sharing menu takes its inspiration from Venetian cicchetti: small plates enjoyed as you move from bar to bar, trying something different at each stop. We’ve brought that spirit to Otto, inviting you to explore seasonal, authentic Italian dishes together around the table.

​

The menu also gives Head Chef Marco room to do what he loves: bring a modern touch to traditional Italian cooking. Having worked at Giorgio Locatelli’s Michelin-starred restaurant in London, he brings that experience and his own ideas to every season’s menu. Choose a few plates to share, discover a new favourite, and come back to see what’s next.

 

We serve naturally fermented sourdough pizzas, made using locally milled Marriage's flour and proofed for a minimum of 24 hours. Our toppings are imported from Italy, which gives our pizzas a refined and authentic taste.​

SUNDAY SLICE CLUB

Meet your new Sunday ritual: 90 minutes of bottomless pizza for £15.

​

We’ll keep bringing freshly baked slices to your table, with a rotating selection of classics, house favourites and Sunday specials. Try them all, discover something new and go back for your favourites.

​

Two sittings every Sunday at 5:15pm and 7:00pm. Drinks, sides and desserts are available separately. Advance booking and a deposit are required.

CAFE

Experience a dedication to doing food the right way! When we say "from scratch", we mean it! We make everything ourselves; from the sourdough for brunch to the mayo used in our panini and focaccia sandwiches.

 

Making everything ourselves means we don't have to use ultra-processed foods, preservatives or additives. We focus on provenance and finding the best ingredients to let the food speak for itself!

​

We serve breakfast until 11:30 (until 14:00 on Sunday) followed by our Lunch menu from 12:00 to 15:00 (Wednesday to Saturday).
