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

We had popped down to Brighton as it was a beautiful evening, we had drinks on the beach and then looked for somewhere to eat, everywhere was busy so we decided to head back home and see if we could get a table at Buon Appetito in Burgess Hill as we have eaten here several times and each time the meal has been brilliant. 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. If you love fresh pizza and fresh homemade pasta this is the place to visit. Authentic Italian food and great service.

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.

We always enjoy food from Buon Appetito. Recently due to the pandemic we’ve had more takeaways and always impressed with the friendly service, reasonable prices and delicious menu. This week we were very grateful they went to the trouble of delivering to us despite not offering delivery that night as we were having to isolate so couldn’t travel out to pick up. Much appreciated!

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.

My family and I used to travel a few miles into Brighton to find a decent Italian restaurant, until we tried this gem on our doorstep! Have had takeaway or deliveries 5 or 6 times in recent months, not eaten in the restaurant yet, but staff are always friendly and the food is amazing (especially the spaghetti bolognese and pizzas). Will keep ordering deliveries/takeaway during lockdown, and will definitely eat in in the near future. Thank you!

We went for lunch. The main was amazing, very nice. The waiter didn't speak much English, he didn't understand me when i asked which flavour of ice cream was in the "mixed ice creams". I would also have a look at the menu before you go in, they were filthy and sticky. Somehow the ink had been printed on there multiple times, we could hardly see what was to order. Dessert is nothing to be excited about.

The restaurant has just reopened after lockdown and has adapted perfectly. We had dinner for 6 people, there was plenty of space and all Covid guidelines were followed scrupulously. The food was fabulous and the portions were huge - even the teenagers couldn’t manage dessert. The team were so friendly, they were happy to adapt dishes for us, and we had a great evening. The bill was good value. We would definitely return.

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.

We were a party of 11 family for a 30th birthday party. Eugenio, Matthew & all staff were professional, attentive and warm. The food was excellent, good quality restaurant standard. Their efforts to make the birthday special when the candles were lit made a very memorable evening, with the usual singing of happy birthday but followed by the whole restaurant singing & swaying to ‘that’s amore’, with staff banging metal utensils, SUCH fun. Yes, space is tight, but that has added to the restaurant’s character for decades, love the new extension. Thank you Buon Appetito!

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.

........ 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.

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.

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.

Atmosphere friendly & was full on a Monday evening. Booking is essential. The swordfish with sunbaked tomatoes was very tasty & my companions enjoyed pasta ,pizza & calzone. A good selection of gelati rounded off a 3 course meal. Because of the small size & crowd in the restaurant the noise levels are high,which may be difficult for some people.

We were greeted in a very pleasant manner coats taken and seated the menu was presented with plenty of meat and fish choices as well as pasta and pizza. The service was very efficient and unobtrusive food well presented and cooked slightly disappointed as vegetables apart from carrots were frozen desert was the usual Italian fare tasted good but portions a bit on the small side. Overall a nice evening will be going back to see if they can get that extra star.

A new dining experience for Sunday lunch with an Italian twist. Our party of 4 tried the Chicken, Pork and Beef specialties on offer. All excellent choices. Large portions but still room after for a mouth watering dessert. Overall a great alternative to a leisurely Sunday roast. Great service.

Having visited this restaurant previously on another holiday, we booked again for a meal with our holiday hosts this time. Sadly, we were disappointed. One of our group was an serious vegetarian and we booked at Buon Appetito, knowing that they advertised vegetarian / vegan dishes. Sadly when making our choices, we discovered that the cheeses used were NOT Vegetarian! So our main guest had to put up with a pizza just with tomato purée and vegetables that were quite flavourless. Please understand that vegetarian cheese uses an non-animal based Renita and should be used when the dish is advertised as Vegetarian.

First time for 40 years at this restaurant. Actually this version of the restaurant has been open for 19 years. Excellent service, wonderful food, great wine list and as near to a genuine Italian atmosphere as possible.

I hadn't visited this restaurant in over 20 years, since it used to be La Torre. The service, ambience, and quality of food are excellent, they have got everything spot-on. Highly recommended.

Food is excellent. We tried to make most of £3 lunch deal and it was best Italian I had in UK. Portions we're quite big and we had good time. Definitely worth visiting again.

We enjoyed a midweek meal for 2 people for £6.00 for us both, unbelievable value and really great food and they don't skimp on portion sizes. you must book as they are very busy.

At fairly short notice, we managed to book a table for our daughter, two grand-daughters and ourselves. We were rewarded with a great evening out with excellent cuisine including two vegetarian dishes. The waiting staff were very polite and helpful. When next in Sussex, will certainly call in again.

We’ve eaten here a few times now and never really been disappointed. It’s a family run business with no frills and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Stick to the basic Italian staples ... the ‘specials’ which we’ve tried before are beyond the chef’s capabilities to be fair but the spaghetti bolognaise is good as are most of the basic pasta/Italian dishes. We will return for sure.

This restuarant was a family favourite so when my husband and I took a trip to the UK in February a visit to Bon Appetito was a must. Having not been there for over ten years I was anxious,what if it had changed or worse my perception of it being a great place was floored.With different decor and staff it is still the amazing place I remember.The food was delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive time and time again.The atmosphere was intimate and we were made to feel part of the family.This is a special place and when next in the UK we will be back.

Had lunch here today to celebrate the birthdays of my brother and his partner. This restaurant is a firm favourite with my family and never fails to deliver. Really tasty and well cooked food including squid, prawns, steak, sea bass and pizza. Excellent service and we always enjoy the happy birthday given with candles and loud cymbal clashing. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I went for a meal here about a month ago on a Saturday and it was so much more than expected! It doesn't look much from the outside but it is one of the best Italian meals I've had. It is small and cosy and has a lovely warm feel to it. All the waiters and waitresses were lovely and very attentive to us. Starters were fairly expensive but were tasty. The carbonara pasta was made to perfection and was a very decent sized portion. They made a special effort for any birthdays that evening and also finished of the night by banging around pots and pans and getting everyone to sway to this song (I've no idea what it was all about but it was great fun and had the whole restaurant involved and laughing). I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to come back very soon with some good friends of ours so they can enjoy it just as much as we did.

Me and my partner came here tonight for our anniversary, the food and atmosphere was amazing as always! Didn’t even need a knife to cut the stake! Everyone is welcoming and nice as they always are when we eat here, well presented and quick to help you, restaurant is small but in a nice way, much better than any chain, would recommend to anyone and would chose to come here than most other places.

Tiny restaurant but the food and service are really good. Definitely worth trying. We had a family meal last time we were there on a Friday night and they managed to squeeze us in at the last minute which was wonderful. This place always has a good atmosphere.

Great, small Italian restaurant with a varied menu and good quality food. Delicious meat dishes and range of pizza/pastas.

Went for lunch and they had a lunch deal. The portions of pasta are quite small but it is only £3 so you can’t expect a huge bowl. Mine was good but my parter said his carbonara was average and wasn’t very flavourful. The fizzy drinks are served out of 2 litre coke bottles that you buy at the supermarket and are £2 which is such a rip off. It’s also flat. I heard a table next to us complain and we received drinks that were also flat although we didn’t say anything. They should really invest in a drinks gun to ensure better quality drinks. I ordered a Fanta and it came in a bottle and even that wasn’t very fizzy. Overall it’s okay but their drinks are poor. This is a successful business and they have 2 restaurants in the area so you’d think they would have upgraded their drinks.

We like this small family run and unpretentious Restaurant on the outskirts of Burgess Hill. The staff are always super friendly and efficient. The Romanian waitress was excess always. Unfortunately on this visit my wife’s salmon ‘special’ main course was poor... heavily over salted and really unpalatable. To the manager’s credit when it was pointed out to him he apologised and was gracious in taking the charge off the bill and offering a replacement. I suspect the basic dishes are the best and my spaghetti carbonara was excellent. Stick to the basics I would suggest but we will certainly return here again.
