If you’re in the mood for a delicious Italian meal, then look no further!

Founded in 2008, Intimo restaurant - a family owned and run business - is dedicated to creating the true taste of Italy right here in Essex, using the finest directly imported ingredients fused with locally supplied produce.

Intimo offers warm and genuine family service, in a beautiful and charming period setting whilst you enjoy a very fine selection of authentic dishes created from scratch by our experienced team of chefs.

Enjoy the enchanting atmosphere and wonderful selection of good wines and whether you're looking for a quick pizza or whole lobster, you'll find the complete dining experience with us.

Set in the historic Gables building on Maldon’s High Street, we offer a carefully composed menu ranging from favourites such as pizza and pasta, to speciality dishes like steak, fish and lamb shank.

Food is freshly cooked to order by a team of experienced chefs and brought to you at extremely affordable prices. We pride ourselves on our customer service and our many returning customers are a great recommendation in itself.

Our caring team of staff will do their best to ensure that your Intimo experience is nothing other than a delightful one. We cater for small and large groups and also offer more intimate dining areas for those special occasions.

Rest assured that you will not be rushed through your meal but allowed to relax and enjoy the flavoursome delights, in our beautifully restored, 18th century listed building.

Booking is advisable and will ensure you get a table at the time that you want. However, you are very welcome to drop in for a delicious meal with us, without a booking – we will do our best to accommodate you.

As well as an extensive a la carte menu, we have a lighter lunch menu, set menus and specials, plus a childrens menu. Not to mention a fabulous selection of wine.

We look forward to seeing you.
