Welcome to Tomassi’s, a true institution of Southend! For four generations, the Tomassi family has served a blend of traditional Italian and British cuisine - as well as the trademark gelato first created in 1912 by founders, Pasqual and Marianna Tomassi.

Guests can enjoy an extensive range of mains in our iconic restaurant or something a little lighter at Café Tomassi. Whether you’re joining for a coffee or lunch, some ice cream or a pizza, you can always rely on incredible food and a warm welcome at Tomassi’s.
