Had two toasted panini meatballs was tasty but cheese and ham was very dry and bland- coffee for an Italian 🇮🇹 deli was not great.

A first class café & deli in a great location - capped with the £6 'bacon ciabatta & any coffee' breakfast deal. Top quality produce and great service. And dog friendly. Fully recomended.

Absolutely my favourite cafe in Horsham. The coffee, paninis, cakes and pastries are absolutely to die for, and every time I see the pistachio croissants in the window I have to stop in and grab one. The atmosphere is super cozy and authentically Italian. Can’t recommend it enough.

Really poor coffee, tasted like it was filter. My flat white was more like a very weak latte, the cappuccino was all milk and no froth. Really disappointed

Fantastic choice of breakfast and lunch items. Always served fresh with a smile. Lovely atmosphere, like a little slice of Italy in Horsham. I had two delicious oat lattes and smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Rosella and Marek are always so welcoming and despite being busy, make time for a nice little chat. Lovely selection of items to buy as gifts on display with tables inside and out. One of my favourite places to eat good food in Horsham.

Went in today with my family and could not believe how rude the lady serving was! I have never experienced such poor customer service ever!! When asked if we wanted to eat in or out, we looked around and decided to take away as there was no seating available at that time, the server said to us to “hurry up, the question wasn’t that hard” !! (There was no one else in the queue, so we were not holding anyone up. This was one of 3 rude comments made.

Good atmosphere, but stale pastries, definitely made the prior day. The coffee was really weak, not proper Italian coffee, and the canoli were the mass market variety from a pack, with their own fillings - definitely not the proper ricotta cheese canoli. Maybe I went on an off day, but had an overall pretty disappointing visit.

The food at Carmella Deli is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared. You can choose among many panini & focaccia options. (I can highly recommend the chicken & pesto focaccia…..absolutely delicious). The cake’s & pastries are some of the best I have eaten & rival those you get at high end restaurants. I love the service at Carmella Deli. Rosa & Marek are so friendly with the guests and always take care to offer the best quality & awesome service! I cannot recommend this Italian Deli highly enough. Bellissimo 🇮🇹👏🏻

This is my 3rd Time coming to this cafe, but my partners first time. When ever I am in Horsham visiting family, I get excited to visit this little one of a kind cafe. Everything is delicious, the coffee, the sandwiches on beautifully toasted focaccia bread and especially the cakes and pastries. Everything is reasonably priced too, my latte only being £3 and it had a much nicer flavour than your standard coffee places. The atmosphere here is buzzy, and the perfect place for some people watching. My partner and I shared a cake and we went for a pistachio croissant AND WOW! My partner doesn’t even have a sweet and he was in love! We wanted to take some home but they had all sold out by the time we left. Carmela told us the cream is sent from Sicily and they are a special cake as they can’t make them all the time, you could really tell! It’s like nothing we have every tastes. We took some almond croissants and pistachio cannoli’s to go which we have just had for breakfast! They were truly delicious! I can’t wait to visit again!

First time in Horsham just going for a casual walk and heard of how great this place is. Safe to say it did not disappoint. Bought stuff to takeaway - ham and cheese croissant, spicy pork arancini, focaccia and a lemon meringue tart. Everything was delicious and I would happily go back to Horsham just to visit this deli. People of Horsham, you are so lucky to have this local delightful establishment - I am jealous. The staff was also so friendly.

Visited here today, would have given more stars but I'm quite heavily pregnant and had to leave before finishing my drink to find a toilet elsewhere as there is not one inside. Also the paninis were toasted but the fillings were still cold. Cute little establishment and wouldn't normally leave a 'ok' review on a small business but I would have assumed a toilet would have been accessible.

The spinach arancini was absolutely amazing. I've never had rice better cooked, it was still al dente, but the whole dish was rich, flavoursome and creamy. The fresh basil on top added another layer of exquisite flavour. Delicious. The quiche was something different from what I'm used to, rich in tomato and very tender. I was so satisfied that I took some arancini home! The pastries looked amazing too

We met my wife's cousin and family for high tea/Diner at the Ask in Horsham. I would suggest that a pizza restaurant is in the very casual places to eat given that most consume pasta or posh cheese on toast which are not what you would call high end catering. We had a nice sized table to accommodate the 6 of us. It was good to see that the younger members can still have crayons and colouring sheets to amuse them before and between the arrival of the food. I remember my pasta being nicely cooked with all the pasta submerged in the sauce, there being nothing worse than hard, dried and slightly charred pasta as part of the eating experience, but this was just right. The younger members chose a starter pizza and ice-cream sundae which was just a step too far for one pair of pelican eyes. The staff were attentive considering the busy status of the restaurant and that it was busier than usual for a saturday evening as Horsham had it's fireworks the same evening we ate out. ASK is one of those idea family eating out venues judging by the numbers of families and small parties that were crowding the restaurant. We enjoyed the casual and relaxed atmosphere and the staff did their bit to smooth and speed things along which is important when younger diners are present.

Just awful. Terrible service, always late, pizza tastes like it’s been hanging around for ages (and it has, you can see that in the pizza tracker on the app). They now charge and unreasonable £2.49 for delivery and also won’t let you collect after a certain time, which makes no sense. If you call up to say your order is wrong, they don’t care, and are reluctant to refund - even if they agree they will say if there’s a slice gone you won’t get a refund. How are you meant to know it’s all bad unless you eat some?! Just overpriced crap. Avoid.
