We recently dined at Cecconi’s at The Ned and found the overall experience to be enjoyable, though with some reservations. The venue itself is stunning, and the live music from the singers added a wonderful ambiance that elevated the evening.
We began with a pre-dinner cocktail, which was expertly made and a lovely way to start. The Kale Caesar Salad was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and a creative twist on a classic. The wine selection was also very good, and we were pleased to find it reasonably priced given the setting.
However, not all of the dishes met expectations. The Crab Ravioli was particularly underwhelming—it lacked flavour and didn’t feel like a premium offering. The Seafood Risotto, while tasty, was fairly routine, featuring just a few mussels and king prawns. At £40 per plate, it felt overpriced compared to similar dishes we’ve enjoyed at other quality Italian restaurants.
Bread with olive oil was served at the beginning, but it was cold and lacked any real flavour. For dessert, we shared the gelato, which lacked the richness and texture of the gelato we’ve enjoyed elsewhere.
Service was efficient, though a bit impersonal. We were asked to vacate our table for dessert and sit at the bar on the stools as it was a busy Sunday evening, but after explaining that my wife has limited mobility, the staff were accommodating. They allowed us to stay longer and later found us more comfortable seating in the main bar.
The total bill came to £245 for two people, including three courses with a shared dessert, one cocktail, three glasses of wine, and a tip. While we enjoyed elements of the evening—particularly the entertainment, kale salad, and drinks—the food overall didn’t quite justify the high price tag. A pleasant evening, but not one we’re likely to repeat soon.
