Great food and service as always. The menu had changed a bit since our last visit (no lamb rack) but we were happy with our choice of chicken with mozzarella and prosciutto, and my sirloin. The mussels and clam starter was a bit gritty and would have benefited from a better rinse / clean before cooking. We always would prefer linen serviettes rather than paper but hey. Overall a great fun place to go and still the best food in Burgess Hill.

First visit here after living in the area for almost 30 years….what can I say..wish I’d gone sooner!!!! Went with three friends, greeted with a fantastic welcome followed by wonderful service & food. All faultless, why only 3 stars then you wonder? Put simply two of us felt ripped off, especially given that all things on the menu generally represent excellent value for money. Two of us ordered a particular favourite of Parmigiana Di Melanzane , this is priced at £12 for a starter portion, however we asked for it as a main & our waitress explained that as main it was simply a double portion of the main (she said this was small). We made the mistake of not asking the price. We had (very wrongly) assumed that it would be priced similarly to their other vegetarian dishes (e.g main course veggie cannelloni is £12,95). We were rather shocked when we were charged £24 each, yes, double the starter price, for our mains. Other dishes at this prices (understandably) on the menu are steak/veal type of things. I am always happy to pay a fair price, especially for food well prepared & cooked, however this seemed a ridiculous charge for a dish of aubergine, tomato & cheese, as delicious as it was. My regret is that I didn’t say anything at the time. One never does in situations such as this as it is embarrassing :(((

Unmatched service today for my mum’s birthday lunch. A moment of escapism where we felt like we were lunching in Italy in the middle of Burgess Hill- quite an achievement. The staff did all they could to mark my mum’s birthday, playing special birthday music as they bought out our cake and personally being attentive to her. Mum dropped and smashed her full glass during the first course which she felt very bad about, but the staff rushed to clear up the spillage and replace our food. Thanks for a memorable lunch - we will return as soon as we can and will take better care of our glassware :-). Grazie mille a tutti.

First time here. 6 of us sat in the front table by front door, cold when door opened each time but no where to move to. What choice did we have? Owner thought a fan heater on one side was the solution but it was not and i wish we had moved n this cold weather. Felt Fobbed off to be honest and realised by the end of our meal that the owner showed very little interest in the customer experience . Food was ok, pizzas good, and younger service staff very attentive . Calamari’s was £12 for a starter so £24 for 12 calamari rings was very expensive as was not large or especially well cooked or flavoured . I mentioned this to the owner but he wasn’t interested. A little recognition of the price v the size/ standard would have been well received. I’m afraid we are unlikely to return. Never thought I would say this as a foodie but for a meal with kids I would be more satisfied using my Tesco vouchers at a chain restaurant, nothing to ride home about here …

Fabulous night we were a party of ten and a spontaneous catch up of old neighbours. Buon Appetito didn't disappoint, we had a variety of starters from the menu which all went down well, then on to mains some choosing pasta others including myself went for Pizza Calzoni, all washed down with some excellent Red and White House wines, desserts were mixed some choosing the Italian Ice Cream, some Tiramisu. All the food was well cooked and presented, and most important great tasting. Staff were very friendly and helping even adding a table to our seating area to enable more space. Looking for a great Italian authentic restaurant in Burgess Hill Buon Appetite is the place!

Nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to check on any of our requests and food was exactly how we asked for it ! We hadn’t visited for a while but it’s great to know that with all the changes going on both locally and globally you can still rely on our local lovely family run Italian to keep to the high standards we have come to expect !

Went there for a family meal. Steak was served with a small dish of diced cold potatoes and a few leafs of rocket. (No vegetables) Chicken dish the same without vegetables although menu states all meat dishes come with vegetables. A lasagne was heated in a microwave and well over cooked and dry. Another of our party also had a steak with the same small pot of potatoes and few rocket leafs. Service is quite poor. So in a nutshell below average food and service.

Shame as has a captive audience but simply not worthy of the price. The starters were cold, greasy and the garlic bread was awful. They did replace it with zero fuss which was great. The mains were ok. The pannacotta had split/curdled so was more akin to rice pudding. Won't be returning. Also, when there is an issue with the food, service should not automatically be added. We would have paid service anyhow as it was reasonable but just the gesture/recognition not all was as it could be.

Horrible experience! We came here to grab an express lunch as we know the one in hove.This is the original, so we expected it to be good.Firstly we were told that there was nowhere for us to wait inside for the 20 mins to make our pizza, (despite the restaurant only having one table in) so rather than waiting in the wind, we sat in the car.When we collected our pizza we requested pepper and chilli oil before we left and we’re told that they would be an extra charge!!!! WHAT???!!…. No extra at hove!Then we went to pay, and they told us that actually for the lunch offer the prefer cash!!!!The pizza was horrible! We have eaten at the hove branch so many time so had a comparison.Both bases were burnt and tasted bitter, the tomato sauce lacked any flavour and the base was so doughy….well mine was my companions was rock hard!He had mushroom pizza, ….well 8 bits of dry charred mushrooms!!!Never again! Better to have a supermarket sandwich for a better lunch deal!!!

Not impressed. The whole experience was very rushed. My starter was so hot - it had clearly been microwaved. No sooner had we finished starters and the mains came out. Again - far too hot. Restaurant was stupidly busy and very noisy. Music played far too loud. It’s my birthday today and my husband had called the restaurant to tell them. Despite this, there was no recognition. Yet another customer had a birthday and had the birthday song sung to them with a cake brought out. I had nothing. Food was ok. Nothing spectacular and expensive for what it was. All in all a very disappointing experience on my birthday. We will not return

It was nearly 8.30pm by the time we arrived but they were delighted to have us even though the restaurant was very busy buzzing with atmosphere. They fitted us in and the meal did not disappoint.

Near-faultless. Friendly staff upon entering, a large menu and more than happy to cater for our peculiar dietary requests. The garlic bread to start was delicious and the pieces large and the olives were some of the best I've ever eaten worldwide. There was a main for everyone - pizza, pasta, chicken, steak. I had the chicken and potatoes which was delicious: rich tomato sauce with plenty of peppers and a decent sized chicken breast and others had a lovely rustic pizza and similarly delicious pasta. The ONLY complaint I could have is that the chicken was possibly slightly dry. All in all, fantastic food and given how much of it there was, the price was more than reasonable.

Called this restaurant just after they opened up for the evening at 6pm on a Saturday evening to order take away. Order was taken and were told that it would be ready for 7:10pm. After driving there and eventually finding a parking spot in time for the scheduled time, we were informed that we should have been told it would be ready for 7:45pm?! Wasn’t invited inside the restaurant to wait or any apology offered. Very disappointed and would not recommend based on this. If you cannot cope with offering take away service as well, maybe stick to the in-restaurant dining only.

My wife recently started to work in Burgess Hill and brought back pizza she had one lunchtime. It was so authentic and reasonably priced. As I was on annual eave and daughter on school holidays today, we decided to meet up for lunch and get pizza from Buon Appetito. The lady who served us was professional and very friendly - An asset to the business. Just before I ordered, someone paid for one pizza £4 contactless on card. When it came to me,the ist was £12.75. I offered my card and the 'manager' said it was 'cheaper to pay by card and asked me to go and get cash from the cashpoint machine in the nearby garage. I felt insulted and disappointed. I was about to walk off and not have anything but he then said OK. Rude, patronising and unprofessional. With COVID, contactless is encouraged. Maybe someone should ask why he wants cash? Great pizza but never again because of him and his attitude.

We recently got a takeaway meal and were not very impressed. The food was expensive for what it was with the starters costing on average 8 or so pound. The salami pasta was basic, tomato sauce with salami slices and peppers thrown in, nothing cut up. The mozarella fritta didnt have the gooey mozarella inside i was hoping for. I understand due to coronavirus they were probably more busy than usual with lots of takeaway orders and despite the poor food the system of collection was organised and ran smoothly.

Walked in on valentines having not booked and was greeted so warmly by the staff and given a table straight away. Wine and food excellent. Staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for a lovely evening.

We have been before and had a good experience. We sat in the newly opened extension which has doubled the size of the restaurant. The menu has been changed and prices are significantly higher and some dishes from the previous menu are no longer offered. The website still shows the old menu.

Great welcome when not busy at 6pm. Numerous overlaps with service in that we had ordered drinks only to be asked again and again. Meal order was incorrect and had to be sent back. Apologies all round but then bill included the more expensive food which we did not order. Quickly sorted and we paid the bill but then asked to leave as others waiting!! Not at all happy as none of the problems were of our making. Disorganised...

........ and already booked the round table, for our next "special occasion."I say "special occasion" as Buon Appetito is quite expensive, especially if you opt for the "plates" that require a side dish, meaning some main meals could cost £25+. However, "sides" are large enough to be shared.We all opted for starters, pasta or risotto mains, desserts and drinks, (£35 pp). And as with any special meal here, you get the "extra service" to celebrate with!The refurbishment, has given the restaurant far more, much needed space, but standards remain high in all areas.

We had a lovely evening at the newly refurbished restaurant, in front of the open fire. Food wonderful as usual and good service. One of the best restaurants in Burgess Hill still.

I telephoned this afternoon to make a reservation for Friday - I've been to the restaurant several times and always enjoyed the menu and setting and I live very close.

There is always a friendly atmosphere as well as very good food and wine. It has recently been tastefully extended to accommodate more diners.

Visited this restaurant for lunch with friends to celebrate a birthday. What a great choice, food was excellent as was the service. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. They are shutting for 2 weeks after our visit for refurbishment, but we will certainly be visiting again when the work is completed.

My wife and I visited for lunch yesterday. The restaurant extension looks great and the quality of food, service and welcome at lunch were of the usual high standard we have come to know and love.

To begin, I rarely give 5 * rating, but thought this little restaurant was a deserving all rounder for their service, food, ambience and value for money on a weekday lunch (£3 for any pasta or pizza dish). Great refurb!!, with fireplace (nice touch), tasteful, warm and welcoming, like stepping into a little slice of Italy with 'the lingo' beautifully incorporated into the service. I had spaghetti and my friend calzone, both piping hot,with the tomato back flavours clearly homemade and delightful. Cutlery shining, glasses gleaming, staff pitched service just right, so we splashed out on a more expensive bottle of rose wine as felt the whole experience was worth it. Think about booking at lunch times as it does get very busy. So pleased I'm local will defo become a local haunt.

This was our first visit to this Neapolitan run restaurant and whilst we only had Pizza’s they were absolutely fantastic, really tasty as they should be and as authentic a Pizza that you might have in Napoli. We will be back soon.

Always a really warm welcome here.. (I`ve eaten here several times). Superb menu choice and authentic Italian food. Nice ambience, helpful staff, great service and very very competitive price .. Always love going ( as did my old dad ! ) . Really highly recommend. You do need to book in advance as always busy. Parking sometimes possible right outside ,otherwise in road round the corner just a few minutes away.

Visited with friends on a Saturday night, be warned, book as it was full. Food and service are both excellent. I had the swordfish with sundried tomatoes, best meal I've had for ages. Vegetables and salad have to be ordered separately which does make it expensive but worth it. Yes, the tables are very close together but, fear not, they are expanding into the shop next door so hopefully there will be more room in the future.

Visited in a group of 7 on Saturday night at peak time of 7.30. The place was full however we had first class service from Angus who was attentive to our needs and clearly happy in his job - nothing was too much trouble for him. Multiple different choices for starters and mains but all arrived smoothly and together. My meat balls starter and the main of chianti pasta ragu were both delicious. We had a good table in a corner away from the hustle and bustle which meant that we could all chat during our birthday celebrations - Zizzi were very happy to serve the birthday cake that we took along and Angus was pretty good with his singing of Happy Birthday. 5 star and highly recommended.
