Brio in Worthing

What a great experience, The restaurant has undergone a full rip out and has been refurbished to a high standard. The waitress was very helpful and fun and made us all feel welcome The manager came over to say hello which was a nice touch. The food was piping hot and with great flavours. The children's menu had enough choice to keep picky eaters happy. The toilets were clean and well presented. A great Italian run by Italians what more could you ask for. I Will definitely be coming back again. Keep up the good work.

Now called Gratelli with a new look, but still with their great features. Nice food and great service. I'd recommend it 100%.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!!! Food tasted fine. But used about £3 worth of toppings on a £15 pizza - ordered a nepolatana and had a total of 3 olives, 5 anchovies and a handful of Capers across a whole pizza. Also ordered foccaccia and was given a garlic flat bread.

Had meal on Christmas day with my husband, son and daughter in law. We all agreed that the food was superb and well worth the money.

Average and pricy for the quality of food. Service slow and it wasn't that busy. Would not go again.

yummy yummy food, good service. The whole seabass and dessert is good.

This was our first visit to Brio. We dined on a weekday lunchtime and were delighted with the food and the excellent, friendly service.

On an evening visit to Worthing whilst out with friends, we discovered this lovely Italian restaurant along the sea front close to the main High Street area. We hadn’t made a booking and being early in the evening, there were tables available. The service was excellent and the food was fabulous. The menu is sizeable and reasonably traditional…pasta, pizza, other mains, with some more unusual/creative dishes too. Our main course choices ranged from sea food risotto, chicken risotto, lasagne to pasta with pear, goats cheese and sausage and the service was nice and prompt. The food was delicious and the portions very sizeable (leaving no room for desserts). Cost wise, our mains were between £14 and £15 each. We felt this was good value for money. The manager who greeted on arrival and served our table was very polite, helpful, friendly and hospitable and the restaurant had a very friendly atmosphere. On our own experience we would recommend this restaurant for a pre-show dinner like ours or similar.

We popped into this fabulous restaurant for a quick meal. We were greeting by a friendly, lovely man who was very attentive and hospitable. Fernando? helped us with our food choices, and the food was excellent. I had a really nice lasagne, and my friend and her hubby both chose different risottos, the seafood one was particularly delicious and my other friend had the pasta with pear in tomato sauce. Very nice ambiance and we would love to visit again in the future, when visiting Worthing for future concerts. Thanks for making our visit special.

A group of 5 of us went to Brios on the weekend. We waited 30 mins for our drinks order to be taken. Once all the starters came out we were advised 2 were not available, and offered to order different things. I thought I'd just wait for my main as most of the group had already finished their starters by this point. 2 of the 5 mains came out earlier than the rest. 2 of us had ordered margarita pizzas, but we were advised that the chef had put pineapple on them; which is a combination neither of us ate. So we advised we wouldn't want that. We were then told that they had no other pizza dough available and did we want to eat anything else. By this point most of the rest of the group had eaten more than half their mains; so we decided not to order additional mains as we would be eating separately and it was getting late (we'd been at the resturant almost 2 hours at this point as the service was slow). In addition we could hear the wait staff and chef arguing about our order with the chef shouting "they can just pick the pineapple off" with a lot of additional swearing and slamming things. The wait staff were very apologetic but we spend almost 2.5 hours where all I was provided from what I had ordered was a diet coke. The manager did remove the cost of the mains off the meal as a gesture of good will, but for 2 out of 5 of the group, left really hungry and disappointed. It really was one of the worst meals out I think I've ever had.

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food and very generous portions.Would definitely visit again.

served by a very tall man called giovanna (that was the name on the receipt) he was absolutely lovely and the food was amazing - couldn’t have had a better restaurant ♥️

One of the best Tiramisu I've ever had.

Very good food, large portions, friendly service, nice view outside across to the sea.

Lovely seafront restaurant. Amazing good quality food, large portions. Service is a little slow and prices a little high, but, in general we were very happy with the meal.

So much choice on the menu, food was fantastic staff were extremely helpful price was great too

30mins to take drink order, an hour for 2 starters and 2 hours later still no main. Would NOT recommend and would NOT return

I’ve been coming here for years in the hope the service gets better purely Because the food and setting is so good. Sadly let down by slow and grumpy service. I won’t be returning

Andreo's customer service was excellent and his fresh made fungi pizza was incredible!!

We were walking around trying to find somewhere to eat and came across Brio. There was outdoor seating so on a sunny day it was lovely! The staff were really friendly. There was a lot of choice on the menu. The food was nice, although all seemed to be drowning in sauce!

Really good dough balls,Smashing carbonara.Would go again.

Oh boy... I'm embarrassed for the chef! If your specials are as bad as what I was served then I dread to think what the normal food is like... Poor at best.

Food could be better. For pizza and calzone no olive olives to chose. Staff was brazen and come every 2 minutes with question if you are ready to place order. Looks like there was some break time and every 2 minutes different person came to take order or keep asking for drink. 10 procent service charge on top of the bill without any information make me to not see this place any more. Place on the middle of Sunday was empty so looks like I know why😏

Great tasting Italian food. Fantastic staff. Superb sea views.

Honestly one of my favourite restaurants in worthing. The food never dissapoints and the location on this particular evening being able to sit outside and watch the fireworks was first prize. The Stafford just amazing too!

Found the waiter quite rude/impatient when l was asking about drinks, as if l should already know the answer to my own questions. Took a very long time to get out bill so put on our jackets and prepared to leave without paying. They soon showed up with the bill then 🤣

Beautiful experience very friendly staff and great food! I am Italian and I usually don’t eat at Italian restaurant but Brio made the difference, the staff the food I stayed in Worthing for business for 4 nights and 3 of those I have eaten here. Great pizza, authentic meal with a twist loads of choices! I will definitely come back next time I am in Worthing! Beautiful location too

An authentic Italian restaurant with a with a wide menu and and lovely staff. My elderly parents just wanted plain fish, so they kindly adapted a dish for them. Everything was fresh and well-cooked and the portions are very generous. It's right on the seafront and has a terrace at the front for even better sea views. The best thing was the staff, who were all very welcoming and extremely helpful. And actually Italian. Highly recommended.

Staff lovely, but unfortunately both our starters were cold. They did offer to change them. One main meal was lukewarm and one was piping hot. Calzone was on the small side as was the mozzarella starter but not an issue for us.

If i could give no stars i would of. Today with my family of six we choose this place, firstly i had to go and find someone to ask if the place was open... People sitting on tables actaully worked there sat slumped on phones, we were seated atmosphere was okay but no one was there now i know why, i had prawns for starter was cold and looking at the other dishes they didnt look anything special either, then came to main dish... I ordered sea bass with mango... It was ABSALOUTEY DISGUSTING. Seabass with a mango sorbet sauce cold and way to sweet, could be eaten as a dessert with tasteless fish. I sent it back not eating it as it was simply unedible as a main. whilst everyone else carried on eating, trying some of my grandmothers chicken that had parts of grill stuck to it Was also absaloutly disgusting. To then have the waiter argue that i ordered mango seabass what did i expect . To then hear the whole kitchen getting angry... The waitress telling them not to shout. Well i have seen resturants being run and appreciste things go wrong but never, never in my life have i gone to a restraunt and been told they wont take the dish of the bill i could not eat as i TOUCHED IT. The food is absaloutly disgusting the staff are rude and aragont, ill be suprised if this business survives another year. Revolting rude resturant AVIOD AT ALL COSTS. Would never spend another penny in a place like this food has put me of.... Whole experience was awful and i came from 2 hours away to see family.

Really good food, service was excellent and kids loved it as well.

We love this Italian restaurant. The food is delicious always, freshly cooked and never disappoints. Everything you'd expect from good Italian fayre. The portions are more than generous, sand beautifully presented. The staff are very friendly and great fun. The outside space is lovely with views of the sea under pretty parasoles. The in- house pizza's are gorgeous. Doughballs the size of crickett balls! We ate there on three separate days, and Had lunch and two evening meals whilst on a weeks break in Worthing. That speaks for itself!

Absolutely abysmal. We ordered from Uber Eats and when the food arrived everything was stone cold. We also were missing items or received incorrect ones. Despite the food being cold, I doubt it being hot would improve it. The zucchini fritte was soggy and unseasoned. the bruschetta didn't arrive. The pizza was the perfect combo of bad ingredients and worse execution. the ragu bolognese was worse than the cheapest microwave dinner money can buy. the chocolate cake tasted like a box mix which made it the best part of a meal and the apple rustica also wasn't present. Overall a shameful display. Overpriced and disappointing. We won't be ordering a second time and you shouldn't order a first.

Great place, discount for many such as student,nhs,teachers. Great service, we only had fries today but will be back to try more food.

Had a lovely time and a lovely meal. Will reccomend to orhers. Always a nice vibe on the sea front. Thank you bio's.

Misleading signs outside restaurant stating roast dinners all day Sunday. Menu states Sunday lunch but in very small print states in winter only. Unhappy but had already paid £24 for bottle of wine. Staff member just shrugged when we pointed out the signage is misleading. Food (sea bass and lamb steak) were lovely but will not be returning due to poor customer service.

Went here with family and it was awful, the service was terrible 😞 Food was tasteless and undercooked 😞 it is the worst Italian restaurant we have ever been too and the toilets were absolutely disgusting!Avoid this restaurant as you will be disappointed ☹️

I arrived with my wife and daughter this evening. On entering, was given a hostile look by a tall bearded man that I assume was the manager. All the waiters and staff at the bar were women who did treat us fairly and softened an otherwise unpleasant experience. One of the waitresses said that we could take any of the three tables that were free in the outdoor area. As we settled down on a table, the manager came over to tell us that the table was booked. I replied that we were told there was no need to book outside seating. He then said there was a 1.5 hour wait for food and walked off. This was difficult to believe as everyone was eating and there was no queue. At the same time, one of the waitresses told my wife that the wait for food was 15 minutes. After a short wait at our table confused and wondering what was going on, I walked in and asked the ladies serving at the bar how long it would take to get food. She told me the food service was temporarily shut down with an apologetic look that said: 'I know this is ridiculous, but that is what I have been told to say', with the manager lurking in the background. I took this as a coded message to get out. We walked out and dined at Ask Italian around the corner where we were treated much better and with better food and drink. I say this as a former devoted customer of Brio who has dined there for many years. Brio is now and end of an era as far as I am concerned. I am steering clear of the place from now on. Cancel culture can work both ways.

Great food as always at Brios . Can't fault it at all ..

Just stopped for a drink, great location with sea views

Overall not great experience and won't be returning. On the arrival asked if we could sit outside, we were told yes. No menus presented, had to stand up after 10 min wait, young lady did apologize though. once we ordered, got the food quite fast , had salmon rissoto which was fine. However, Nobody done check back on us or if we need more drinks and it wasn't busy at all. We felt not welcomed at all . After , 10% service charge added , which we asked to be taken off , as there wasn't much of the service, and asked to pay separately, at that moment waiter did mumble some sort of swearing on us in his language - my friend did understand as speaks the same language, which i found very rude. Sad experience.

Great location,lovely waitress and good service.meatballs were tasteless tho and sent back but told " noone ever complains about them" noone else was having meatballs I noticed....was still charged for them. Little bit expensive, £35 for 1, tomato salad,calamari,meatballs and tirimasu.tirimasu was delicious .

We love this place. We almost always go here for birthdays because it's bright and breezy, the food is always great, the beer is cold, the staff are friendly and efficient and there's a huge variety of dishes on the menu... so even the fussiest diner is catered for.

Great food and wine, very friendly staff, and view of the ⛱️

You pay for what you get amazing food staff are always lovely I hardly recommend it 💯 thank you brio ☺️

Really good food, really good service! The only reason for 4 stars on the atmosphere was that when we arrived at 8.15 there was only 2 other sets of diners and by 9pm we were the only ones in there! Would definitely go again!

The food wasn't great but very expensive we had starters and our main meals took ages. Was asked a few times if we had ordered when clearly they had forgotten. Will not be returning here again 😒

Always a great meal and dispite the journey to and from worthing it's worth it. Great service and attentive service.

Deep fried mozerella was very tasty, dough balls were amazing! Was very quiet for a Friday evening. By 9pm we were the only 2 people in there. But the food was really good!

Amazing. Brilliant food, awesome service , I'll definitely recommend. Well done guys

Delicious pizza and pasta. Lovely quiet restaurant and fast service. Highly recommended.

Simple review here... Absolutely incredible restaurant, we went for my wife's birthday and was not disappointed... 3 course meal, wine and great service. My father in law commented it was the best pizza he had in years, whilst my pasta Bolognese was incredible... My son commented that he was the king of tiramisu, he accepted their challenge and ate a huge slab of it, he was very impressed... Recommended highly

Arrived at midday for a pre booked table for 9, ages from 16 to 80+. Asked for a table on Terrace which was rapidly made available. All the varied food orders were excellent - try the pre order dough balls with cheese! - first and main courses arrived on time, together and hot, not easy with so many different choices. All in all a most enjoyable experience AND the drinks were not expensive!

Lovely Italian with wide menu with lots of options for everyone. We had pasta pizza and the kids meal and all were delicious and great value!

Food excellent and staff great service ,we keep coming back

I came here 2 days ago, late on a windy, wintry night and the seafood tagliatele was excellent. Tonight I returned and the food was again superb. The waiter recommended the dish and I was not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and service prompt. Inspector Montalbano would have been very satisfied.

Lovely interior and perfect pizza. Very friendly staff. Don't be put off by the front door not open and enter by the side entrance, we nearly thought they were closed and would have missed a perfect pizza and lovely restaurant.

Extensive menu including many interesting fish and seafood pasta dishes. Had a very good prawn scallop black linguine and delicious pannacotta, will come again to try other seafood dishes. Friendly service and big bonus of being dog-friendly.

Nice food, really pleasant service. Highly recommend the dough balls

Nice place, great food good staff

Delicious food and short waiting time. Staff's very friendly. Definitely recommended

Amazing food..rich in flavour. Will definitely visit again

Thank you for a truly beautiful meal; the food was absolutely fantastic and the service was wonderful. Thank you for making our special day truly magic.

There are various reasons why I only gave a two star review. We had eaten here before and had enjoyed it thoroughly. We came in on Friday afternoon and chose the two course special. Outside it stated - any pizza or any pasta. This is misleading. We were told immediately that there were no pizzas available and that the pasta deal did not include seafood. My partner chose garlic bread as a starter. He actually laughed when it came out. It looked like two slices of bread from Iceland! Extremely mean. I chose the mushrooms on bread and that was lovely and a good portion. Why the disparity between the two? Mains were fine. Then my final complaint, partly our fault. Service is included but I didn’t notice that until we came home. We paid ten percent and everything was on cash. The owner did not point out that it was already included. A hood owner would. A greedy one wouldn’t. The restaurant is very hit or miss and I don’t think I’ll be back.

Amazing food and friendly atmosphere. Definitely coming back. K💖

No disabled entrance. Food is just ok nothing special, dough balls are like big hunks of rubber to cut. Funny thing is no ramp for wheelchair or pram however they have a disabled toilet tell me that logic stands up lol. Overall abit meh

Well prepared food at reasonable prices. Good house wine too. Staff attentive and very friendly.

It news years day my birthday, nice food and friendly staff

Brios is a superb local Italian. Being on the south coast the fish is local and fresh. They don't skimp on the portions either. Menu, quality and service is consistently great in both the Shoreham (original) and worthing locations. Highly recommended worth repeat visits. Friendly. Casual. Local. Authentic. The specials menu is always great.

Went for Christmas Dinner. We’d been a couple of times before and food and service was very good. But Christmas lunch was superb !!! Great service, great food and really good size portions. They look after us extremely well. Highly recommended

Excellent food excellent service. Cant fault the place love it

Staff were robotic, food was ok but cold plates makes food go cold quicker, menu is to big so a microwave has to be used which is a shame

Great authentic Italian restaurant. The food and house red were excellent and staff were just lovely.

November in Worthing can be unpredictable which spoilt the atmosphere. Otherwise the food was great and service excellent. Try the Dover Sole 😘

Food & service was absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly recommend 👌

Really lovely restaurant, great food as always, very good service too !! It has special memories for me as I always used to come here with my late husband.

Had my mums 70th birthday there, everyone enjoyed their meals, I had the tuna salad which was lovely, only issue was I think for the price of the salad it should have been tuna steak not what looked and tasted like tinned tuna, but overall the taste of it was good. They bought my mums cake out to happy birthday playing on the speakers which my mum loved. Lovely friendly and attentive waitress. Will definitely go again. Oh and we had free shot of limoncello with the friendly owner!

Avoid at all costs, extremely rude waiters, expecially the bald owner. Go to Casa Ciro or Guisseppes in the town. Lost me as a customer and will not recommend at all.

Great food; great staff!! Kids new favorite place in England!

Excellent food. Great views. Great staff!! Highly recommended.

Insulting staff terrible place. I had to cancel my order.

Had a lovely gf pizza, the food was tasty 😋 The staff were friendly. Would definitely come back 😊

Very good, fresh ingredients in lovely meal for Sunday lunch. The staff are happy and helpful.

Ok for lunch as in ideal location but a bit tired...probably more atmosphere in the evening....staff nice

As always a brilliant Italian meal - pizza and pasta dishes . Great friendly service . We’ll be back !!

An Excellent Restaurant Friendly Atmosphere and Excellent Service.

Good food and good atmosphere. Polite and friendly staff.

Service was a bit lacking as we was ignored for a wile but food was good .

Well not much I can say really, food was edible but not great, service was very poor get your food nobody bothers to come and ask if all is ok, you then get your bill with a 10% service charge, definitely wouldn't bother again.

Absolutely awful .Staff very rude, arrogant little bald headed manager wasn't helpful at all. Waited an hour for main course. We will not be visiting again.All they seem to be interested in is filling the tables and taking your money.They have no people skills what so ever.

A very uninviting place, over priced beer,£6.50+ Service for a pint of Moretti? Rude,ridiculous and dated, we were told, this is a restaurant not a pub, we went at 17.30 for a drink not to have dinner. First time I've been and last one for sure.

Very good reasonable menu, ideal spot on the seafront, glass screens separate you effectively from the traffic noise. The New Zealand mussels were excellent.

Outside deck area, screened with glass, nice broad menu, New Zealand mussels, simply superb .. 😊😊😊

Booked a table, asked to sit outside. Nobody showed us to a table. Sat for 15 mins with no acknowledgement from staff, no menu on table. Very poor customer service. Unsurprisingly we left .

Excellent food in a nice setting BUT service is slow and there's no accessible entrance as far as we can see. People were struggling on the stairs with buggies and mobility aids in order to get in there. Is this legal?

Lovely restaurant, tasty food and very friendly staff. Ravioli was a bit on the small portion side but all other dishes were a reasonable size. Having tried their Pollo alla Milanese, it's lovely and actually a big portion, lovely flavours

Great meal and staff so friendly, going back.

Lovely food good price,very busy though

Excellent quality food with generous servings. Recommend the frito misto, deep fried mozzarella (lovely rich tomato sauce), sea bass and monk fish with clams. Staff friendly and professional.

Staff was very polite, atmosphere was lovely and food excelent
