Casa Ciro in Worthing

Fantastic customer service. The restaurant was busy with two large groups, so they offered us additional drinks which was great. So pleasing to see that they still understand the value of their customers.

Really good straight forward Italian food. Quick and friendly service and very moderate prices. We really enjoyed our meal! Would recommend

Absolutely amazing lunch we had on Monday. Service was spot on and the food was divine. Would highly recommend eating here.

I am a local business owner and have been using Casa Ciros for over 15 years and found it to be a wonderful place and have held many an occasion here. It is with great sadness this evening we went in with our 9 year old twins after a trip to the cinema, and were greeted by a blonde waitress (Wednesday 30th October) There were numerous seats unmarked for reservation however we were asked to sit by the door on arrival, informing us that we had 15 minutes till the kitchen is shut. The waitress then brought us menus and said that the free kids meal is only for under 10’s - we stated they were 9 and she said nothing and placed the drinks menu for me to catch! We decided to take the decision to walk out - we do not expect to be treated in this way, and I hope The young staff are educated how someone should be treated.

Had lunch at Casa Ciro in Worthing, West Sussex opposite the Worthing Theatre and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a midday break. The star of the meal was definitely the cannelloni—so rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked pasta and a creamy, cheesy filling that was just spot-on. Every bite was delicious and you could tell the ingredients were fresh.

I had a lunch break today it was delicious original Italian foods also they have nice cocktails if you want to have time for lunch please go and test it amazing I recommend it for everyone

Always a warm welcome here. Food always good quality and and a wide variety of choices on menu. Service excellent. Been going here since moving to the area in 2020 and not had a bad meal yet.

absolutely amazing service from our waitress northey!! very polite and helpful. unfortunately it was the kitchen and manager that let our evening down. waited an hour and a half for food and it came out cold.

Good place for a reasonably priced chefs special lunch .Restaurant was very busy this Saturday lunch time .Due to us having to wait a while we were offered a free drink .Felt the staff knew how to keep their customers happy .So clearly well trained . Good and tasty food which I enjoyed served at the right temperature. My friend also enjoyed her lunch. Will return .

Amazing service, wonderful food and a really brilliant night! 10 of us visited on a Friday evening and we will definitely be back.

The Best Restaurant in the area , food well cooked and presented . Our thanks to Debbie and Chris who served us on this occasion . Sheila and Brian.

Well what can I say, from the moment we arrived the staff were so attentive, funny and very interactive, the food was amazing, tasty, and well presented. Great atmosphere, better than the ivy in Brighton, meaning the staff are were not pretentious all all, very welcoming, would definitely recommend thank you all

Friendly staff, really good portions and delicious authentic Italian food. They also brought a little dessert for my husband’s grandfather as it was his birthday which made the grandparents really happy. Will go again and recommend it.

First of all I would like to emphasize the kindness and efficiency of the person who served us. A political science student who also has a gift for service. We opted for the early edges menu. Perfect quality and quantity for £16. A delicious tiramisu extra £6.50 > we will be back

Absolutely brilliant .... service fantastic food exceptional... 🍻🍻😁😁👍👍👍👍👍

Our favourite place to eat in Worthing. Absolutely brilliant thank you!

Could do with a better range of beers and ales.

Working away Sick off eating the same old food burgers and chicken So decided to have Italian as I’ve travels the world and spent so much time in Italy And to be honest this little Italian restaurant was like being in Italy the food was amazing Al the staff were great and knowledgeable next time I’m here definitely be re visiting

We were shown to a nice table fo two upstairs ..the waitress took the wine order then came back and apologised and asked if we'd mind moving to another table as that was saved for two other people ..after quite awile she came back and took our order but two of the main courses one of which I already had decided I would like had all gone ..we had the starters which took a long time to arrive I had to ask where they were ..the same with the main course...apparently the order for out food hadn't gone to the kitchen..our waitress was very nice and apologised for all the delays...it wasn't her fault but it spoilt the experience as this was the first time we'd been there..The food was very good and it's a very nice restaurant..Will try it again though ..a few other people were complaining about the time thier food was taking to arrive..such a shame..

This meal was so disappointing. We had our wedding reception there in 2008 so just wanted to go for a meal. We arrived at 1pm ordered drinks they didn't arrive. They had one waitress downstairs and one upstairs. We reminded the waitress of the order she said she had forgotten we said we were ready to order. When she took the order we waited and she came over 20mins later to say they didn't have the meal I wanted so I ordered something else. Eventually at 10 past 2 our food arrived which was OK nothing special. We asked for the bill but good job I checked the meal that they advised me was not available was on the bill. I questioned this with her and asked her why she said " oh I was distracted " very poor service and sadly we will not be returning to the restaurant. Poor service and incorrect bill

Under new management since the last time we went, so I was a bit nervous. No need, the food was better than before! Had the pre theatre menu and everyone really enjoyed what they ordered 😃

One of the best lasagnas I've ever eaten. Great menu for the children with starter, main course and dessert. Generally very authentic Italian cuisine. Very friendly staff 🙌

Superb food - I had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection, my husband had the aubergine which was delicious. The attention to service and efficiency of the staff all helped to make an excellent dining experience. Good choice of fine wines too. Will definitely be returning.

This was our second time eating here and very disappointed with our meal and small portions which didn’t look very appetising on the plate, the steak was served with a few miserable skinny soggy chips spread out on the plate. We had to remind them that we never got my coffee & glass of wine. Service was very slow. The cheesecake was very good. The staff lovely.

Fabulous food and plenty of gluten free options

Outstanding food, value and service. Can't wait to go back. Would highly recommend. Had been before but this was the best ever. Quality of food excellent.

Food is delicious and excellent value for money Highly recommended

the menu is small not a lot of choice when it comes to pasta it used to be a brilliant place to eat but changed hands. i had the smoked haddock al forno and struggled to find any haddock in it .it was mostly leeks i did not complain as it was our anniversary and did not want to spoil the evening but would not go again

Amazing terrace and great food. Can’t believe it wasn’t busy at all.

Great food and service. The staff made us feel really welcome and the food choice was great.

We walked in to Casa Ciro Worthing for a pre-theatre meal. Despite not having a booking on a busy Friday afternoon, we were offered a really nice table, and we ordered from the Early Bird menu . Panzerotti and cannelloni, followed by tiramisu and affogato. Delicious, and the house red was perfect! Lovely venue and attentive service, too.

Great food and excellent service.

The place is located right on the seafront. We booked in advance as it got busy (for good reason!) on a Friday night. We had garlic bread and calamari for starter, and risotto and pizza Calabria for dinner. All the food was superb, the highlight being the risotto - every mouthful had a piece of fillet steak - just amazing. The owners couldn’t do enough for you. We’ll definitely be returning to try other parts of the menu!

Had my mums surprise 60th birthday here , there were 24 of us and honestly was all amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Helped me with so much from start to finish of organising. Food was delicious , service brilliant unfortunately one member of staff ruined that slightly but literally everything else perfect and after me letting another member of staff know it was righted and he was amazing and made it all better. My mum had the best night and I am thankful for that. 100% recommend for bigger parties or just for a meal with a smaller party.

Lovely food and good gluten free options available. We hired the upstairs we had plenty of room and the staff were lovely too.

Great place to go, food was tasty, choice on the menu was great, and service was quick and friendly

Lovely restaurant on the seafront; kind, attentive waiting staff, delicious food and a calm atmosphere.

Wonderful all round will be back

Lovely ambience. Gorgeous food. Friendly staff.

Me and my partner have been here for dinner quite a few times now. Loved it every time. Food is lovely and they are really accommodating to any food requirements (offered me vegetarian cheese as I don’t eat Parmesan) which I really appreciated. Staff are lovely and friendly. Would recommend to anyone

Table booked for 1930, with a party of 12 everyone arrived on time. We didn’t get asked for starters until 20.05 and they didn’t come until 20.30. Food was good, with the calamari and pate being very nice. Now I’m not sure of the waitress was new, or nervous but she was so rude. She slammed 2 dinners down on the table and it seemed like we were an inconvenience to her. We didn’t get our main courses until 21.15. When they came, the steak was good but the linguine arrabbiata was dreadful and the carbonara wasn’t much better. I had the seafood pasta and for £17.50 i expected more than 2 mussels. Overall the whole evening wasn’t the best. If your a half decent cook then you can do 99.9% of these at home. Service was really bad from one of the staff (the other being fine)

Had yet another pleasant lunchtime at Casa Ciro, food always very good today I enjoyed the Avocado with smoked haddock and leek, service was excellent, it almost made up for the persistent rain we're having!

Was made to feel very welcome and the waiting staff were thoroughly attentive. Food was excellent.

Very good food and a good price, thank you.

A chance find on a visit some months ago. It was excellent then, even though busy, but today you couldn't fault the food or service. The house rose was praised and the soup and scallops were delicious and the baked avocado, haddock and leeks was a terrific combination. The main courses were just as good, authentically prepared and tasted great. Outstanding value too.

A little gem on the Worthing Seafront. Superb food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff 10/10, Thoroughly recommended

Celebrating my birthday staff were friendly nothing too much trouble very attentive. Would recommend 👌.

Outstanding. Easy to reach location opposite the pier. Lovely to see white linen tablecloths - and to enjoy a friendly welcome from the young waiter. As soon as we sat down we were provided with chilled water - a rare service nowadays. Every course was tasty and felt like genuine cooking and the bill was not a nasty shock. I will definitely be returning as soon as possible as there were so many temptations on the menu to work through!!

Excellent choices for vegetarians , pescatarians & meat eaters. Good value & great service. Deserts were also delicious. The wine didn’t wow us but the beer was great.

The best italian restaurant I have been to for a long time, service was excellent as was the food .

A fantastic find. Staff very friendly and attentive, food amazing. Would highly recommend. We will be returning.

whent on a monday night quiet busy. Food was excellent as was the service very reasonably priced .the best italian restaurant I have been to for a long time

Just perfect! The food was the best Italian food I’d had in a long time and service just as wonderful! Also they do half portions which is perfect for mum who has a very small appetite We will definitely return. Thank you

We visited today for lunch and had a very helpful waiter. I had the vegan nut escalope, which was absolutely delicious. There were vegan starters available and also a vegan millionaire's shortbread for dessert, although I only had a main. Would definitely recommend

After watching one table leave and the next booking turn up for their drinks to be taken before us, was when we had to grab the nearest waitress to order. This in all took about 20 mins, Finally a gentleman came over, no apology, thanks for waiting etc. Food again took a bit longer than expected. Yes they were busy but I’m sure they are every Sat night. Cannelloni was burnt on the top. Wasn’t asking for another as who knows when it would of come! Felt a bit cold at times. Atmosphere seemed good in all.

Outstanding restaurant with great food and excellent service. Food and drink prices are sensible

The service was very slow, the food mediocre, the portions sparse and the restaurant was cold.

Lovely food. Big bonus no loud music so we could talk to each other.

We have been going to Casa Ciro for years, unfortunately, in December,The food was awful, I boasted to people, how it's still as good as it ever was with the previous owners who built it up, probably 30/40 years, ( we and a lot of our friends have been going there for years) and when the new people took over a couple of years ago they vowed not to change anything, including the staff ,they were very good ,most have been there years, and we got to know them. One of them brought the recipe out for one of the dishes i loved.. It was that kind of place! For a long while, it was as good as it used to be with the new people, why would you change what is working? It started to go downhill a bit and It went down even faster between the 20th of December the 29th with different friends On the 20th. I had cannelloni ,the top was so burnt and hard, . It was like a lid so I had to lift off and eat what was underneath, which wasn't a lot in the end. My Husband and my friend said send it back but, I'm quite a slow eater. I thought by the time they brought another one out, the others would be finished.I did tell the girl to tell chef, it was so dry ,I'm not sure she did ! I expected somebody to come out! My husband and I love the pate & garlic bread! Had it as a starter every single time we went there, Within those nine days,(the pâté was significantly smaller than it used to be on the 20th ) there was even less pâté on the 29th,, and I don't know what the garlic bread was. It look like crusts of a French stick, the patty didn't taste anywhere near as nice The prices have gone up, but they have also trimmed down the food so much now, it is very noticeable, all very stingy ,On the 29th, My friend had goats cheese that made her feel queer,she left it all. Not saying it was her meal, but it was a coincidence. That little round of cheese sat on a bunch of" bagged" salad from the supermarket, and three slices of "garlic bread "nothing like the garlic bread they used to sell, cost..£13/£14 My wine spritzer was mostly soda water, again on the 20th, the spritzer was lovely, The garlic bread? they used to do in the oven? it came out really crispy, one of the things we loved and always had ...that was ok on the 20th! 29th Couple of bits of French stick garlic butter on,flashed under the grill I would guess .. Nothing like it used to be After the cannelloni episode on the 29th , I decided to go back to my other favourite, lasagna!, It was a big bowl of mush! Mostly tomato sauce(passta?) and mozzarella, that's stringy cheese that I do not like! that never used to be on the lasagna I enjoyed many times in Casa Ciro, I ate some of it, I was looking for any pasta or mince? Finally, at the bottom layer, there was some pasta and the mince was scattered about in lumps. Sadly, I think they have either changed the chef or, the owners have told them to cut down on everything, not nice Finally the desert that looked half the size of what it used to be, banoffee pie,£6?£6.50? that used to come with banana/toffee/ crispy base, a lot of cream and something like , a dusting chocolate powder across the top and over the plate, to look nice,!.. it was not nice.. Small wedge of Banoffee pie put on a small plate with no trimmings whatsoever There was a load of cream,, squishy. Banana, (very ripe) about 3 bits, I couldn't find any toffee. very disappointing all round. We all left some of our meal which is unknown in Casa Ciro , Once upon a time, you couldn't get a booking for a couple of weeks. I am sad for a couple of reasons, mainly, it was the go to place when we met up with friends , it was always good. The standards were high. The food was always the same, the service was brilliant and, and you would take friends there with confidence, you knew what you were going to get. the other reason ?I think these people will lose this business overtime. I'm not the only one that's noticed. The bill on the 29th £156 funny thing was , (my friends,have a young son,) I said "if we can't get booked into Casa Ciro(as we rang for two days, both of us, nobody answered the phone!!,) will have to go to McDonald's"(wish we had)

Its good but not as good as it used to be under original owner. Needs a bit of a face-lift and the food wasnt as good as before. Very good service and price.

Excellent service from beginning to end by Dillon! Food was amazing! Throughly recommend this restaurant.

I took my partner for her 20th birthday and the food was cooked beautifully and the service was superb we are both so grateful to the staff for making our night so special thank you casa ciro

Very noisy upstairs ,but a good venue and food.

Lovely Italian family style restaurant right in the front. Good food, friendly staff and decent price. They do great pasta..as you would expect.

Fantastic food and lovely atmosphere xxx

The food was amazing but the atmosphere and service was very disappointing. I haven’t been here since before Covid and decided to have our xmas celebration with two other friends. Shocked at a glass of wine being £11 a glass but no suggestion of a bottle being cheaper if we were having more than one glass. The restaurant was half empty, no atmosphere at all and we felt rushed to order our starter and main. No one came to ask if our meals were ok, we had to ask for drinks on three occasions and they only brought over one. The staff were polite, but appeared disinterested and just chatting in the bar area rather than attending to the few occupied tables. Sadly we will not be returning as there are many other places in Worthing to eat who would be far more welcoming.

I came with a group of friends on Sunday December 10th for a meal before going to the Pantomime. The food was excellent and the staff were amazing. They went out of their way to accommodate us. I am a wheelchair user was looked after very well.

This place is amazing. We went for an early dinner for my brothers 18th birthday meal with family! I couldn’t recommend it enough, we were a table of 15 and they were incredible with booking and pre-ordering it was really easy! I mainly spoke to Dylan whilst there who was really useful. The food was amazing and great options that suit everyone. They were happy with my balloon and cake and decorations which was great, so happy with the whole experience!

Staff great food amazing lovely atmosphere

Had a lovely set Christmas lunch with friends. As usual it was faultless, great service and staff all very pleasant. It’s our favourite restaurant as food is always consistently good and we are never disappointed.

Restaurant was nicely lit and we were greeted upon arrival. The tablecloth was made of paper which was disappointing. Garlic mushrooms to start which were really nice. I had the linguine marinara as a main and the seafood didn’t smell too fresh and was very dry. Quite an expensive meal that wasn’t great. Probably won’t be going there again…

Despite struggling with our Yorkshire accent (lol), the staff were very helpful and let a party of 6 sit to eat without a reservation. Food and wine was top notch

I visited on a busy Friday evening with my husband and daughter. Every course was excellent. My particular favourite was the Pollo Palazzo which I chose for my main course. The restaurant had a lovely feel to it and the service was excellent. We live quite far away but we would certainly visit again.

Words aren’t enough to express how amazing an experience I had here. My family and I booked a couple of weeks in advance and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! Firstly, I just have to praise the staff. The service was exceptional! Never have I felt more welcomed and looked after in a restaurant. Notably, the dashing, handsome young man who served us the bill with class and suave! As for the food…delicious! I had the Camembert to start and the pairing with the jam and the garlic bread was nothing short of unreal! This definitely needs to be a staple of the main menu! For my main, I had the steak with garlic butter, which I was told was made in house! Let me tell you, those chefs are talented! It was absolutely fantastic! For dessert, I had the tiramisu which was the perfect way to end such a lovely meal! It was very well presented and tasted heavenly! The meal was accompanied by Prosecco and Rosé which went down a treat! My whole family enjoyed the meal and we are eager to go back! Unfortunately, we live over an hour and a half away but this will not stop us! Thank you to the whole team at Casa Ciros! Keep up the excellent work :)

The food was amazing, staff were a delight, can’t wait to go back.

I have been going to Ciro’s with family, friends and colleagues for years It’s easily the best restaurant in Worthing and it keeps getting better and better Can’t wait to go again

A usually good restaurant with nice food. All staff pleasant and efficient but the evening was ruined by a rude and slightly aggressive server who was either having a very bad day or isn’t cut out for the hospitality business. Food was late out (30 minutes plus) and when I asked if it was on its way was spoken to like a misbehaving dog. Literally! Shame as I have been there many times and have always been impressed. I won’t return.

Fabulous traditional Italian close to Worthing pier. Great food great service. Deservedly best restaurant in Worthing award winners x2.

Every single dish was delicious. Literally could not fault it. We had a lovely evening. The service was spot on too and nothing was too much trouble

Food was absolutely dreadful. Potatoes raw, fish over cooked. My husband nearly gagged on the sauce in his pasta it tasted foul.

Usual high degree of service and food to match ,well done everyone

This was our first time visiting Casa Ciro for a birthday meal on Monday night and we loved it there. It was fairly busy considering the neighbouring restaurants were quiet (and a few not even open). We opted for the £25 fixed price menu as it had a good choice of starters and mains, and good value for money with a glass of wine. The house red was surprisingly good too. We opted for the whole plaice and chicken with mushrooms in white wine which were both excellent. The serving staff were very friendly and professional. We'll definitely come back again. Worthing seems to have better places to eat now than Brighton & Hove!

Half term visit, pizzas hooray!! booked table for after cinema trip with two girls under ten. Menu online for children stated pizza options. When I booked 4 days before, I was told they had had some trouble with their pizza oven but it was being fixed as we spoke. "Won't be a problem" kinda thing .... On arrival l, extremely cramped, busy with retirement crowd. Once sitting, we ordered pizzas but told no pizza option today. Great. Girls had limited options and chose a chicken n chips main and garlic bread starter (burnt) . I asked if as though no pizza and they've had to choose something else - could we have a scoop each ice cream for them complimentary? Definite No!. After that, we didn't see our waitress again and paid 10% service charge for the pleasure. Too busy and cramped, poor service, no pizzas in half term kids deal week(!), kids deserve good quality food too !! (ours was ok but theirs just looked dry and bland or over cooked) and no amends or appreciation to make dining experience better. Could have been saved into a good experience but it seemed no-one cared enough My advice... Half term week - go to pizza express or Brio.

Nice and friendly atmosphere. Sicilian caponata was ok and mainly aubergine and not many figs which I was looking forward to eating. Avocado al Forno was great as a starter. For the main course, we had Insalata di Mere and Pappardelle Julia and the latter one was delicious 😋 I really enjoyed affogato with liquor as a pudding. In front of the sea and we parked the road nearby for free Saturday evening.

An enjoyable Friday lunch. Very welcoming. And tasty food.

Great weekday Theatre menu, fresh tasty food. Uncomplicated and just what we wanted. Service really nice & attentive. Would go back again. 😊

Went to a birthday celebration upstairs. Food was really nice and plenty of it for the size of the party.

I had a steak, it was tender, but incredibly salty. So Salty that I couldn't taste the beef in the steak. Also had ice cream. It was quite icey and grainy. Enjoyed the atmosphere and despite the issues I still eat it.

Nice atmosphere and great food and service

Fantastic service, great food, thoughtful waiting staff. We had my partners 60th birthday meal with friends here. The communication between us and the waitress was amazing on how we wanted to do drinks, we didn’t have a birthday cake as we were having that at a family gathering, so the waitress placed a candle my partners dessert so we could all sing happy birthday. We all choose from the party menu prior to the evening and all was delivered to the table in a happy friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend eating here. We’ve eaten here many times over the years and it’s always good food and a great service

In early for a pre- concert dinner and the restaurant was already busy. Everything went very smoothly - our order was taken promptly and the food and drinks came just when we were ready. Service was great and the pasta was top drawer: I had the set price menu and my wife had seafood linguine - all delicious. We chose the Veneto Chardonnay and enjoyed it. Overall a very pleasant evening and we look forward to visiting again.

Having lived not so far away from Worthing for thirteen years, we have yet to sample all the restaurants in the area! However, we really should have visited Casa Ciro way back when we were first recommended to go there. This delightful restaurant sits on the seafront opposite the pier. The location is perfect, the interior welcoming (even a terrace upstairs for summer enjoyment), the staff are friendly. And as for the food ... an excellent choice of authentic Italian cuisine. We visited in August and just had to return again asap to check it was as good as we thought! And yes it was.

One of the main courses was burnt and dried out. Disappointing. Room for improvement!

Very friendly staff,food cook to perfection & lovely views on the small roof terrace.

Love this Restaurant and visit frequently. So disappointed today, as although their balcony was open at three this afternoon when we visited. We were denied being able to sit thereby the manager on one of the hottest day this year, due to what she called under staffing. There were only us two and six others in the Restaurant. Very bad service, I am sure if one of the owners were there it would have been a different story as been offered a place on the balcony when windy. Food was lovely, but felt totally let down, next time we will leave and go somewhere else with outdoor service.

Went there for a birthday dinner couldn't fault the amazing staff food was amazing and a great atmospheric place sitting just on the front of the seafront would recommend to anyone who loves Italian food

Lovely Italian restaurant, one of the nicest bruschetta’s we have had and there’s been a lot. Wife had the bolognese, I had the salmon dish, both were delicious, lots of flavour, a banoffee pie for dessert which was also very nice, would happily go back

Very nice people great food good choice on the menu . Great location

Service was brilliant, food was great but a roasted cabbage on the side of polla ala fungi seem9a bit random

Great evening with good food and excellent service n
