Enzo Fiore Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria O' Curniciello in Adur

Southern Italian food at its best! Parking nearby. What else can you dream of?

It's our 4th time here and the food is amazing..

I would highly recommend this place. Despite the fact that we arrived almost at closing time, the owner was very accommodating and the service was so attentive, I almost felt guilty for them staying behind. We just had a quick pizza and a small starter, and guys what a find! I did eat all not even the crusts left on the plate, the dough was so tasty and soft, I will not exaggerate if I’d say that it’s one of the best Neapolitan pizza in Sussex. We stopped here by chance for a quick bite but definitely we’ll return for more.

We had our second visit yesterday and we absolutely loved it! The pizza and the antipasti are very tasty, the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely, we definitely will visit again! Also, well behaved dogs are allowed!

Best pizza and tiramisu I've had in years, and such friendly staff. Definitely worth a trip to Lancing - I'm already thinking about when I can come back.

I have to say, that was the best fillet steak I've had for years. Cooked rare to my liking and then some fabulous dark chocolate pudding. Top quality food, warm and welcoming service, great wine choice. Thank you x

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant on our visit to Worthing - the positive reviews meant we made a special trip! It is family run and the food is authentic Neapolitan cuisine. The restaurant was busy so it took a little while to get our food (an extra waiter would have helped) but the staff were courteous and made sure we got our starter quickly to quell our rumbling stomachs. Really enjoyed the good and the prices were reasonable for this area.

Outstanding food and wonderful service! THE place for authentic Italian cuisine! The food was amazing and the entire place felt like disappearing to Italy in the middle of Lancing! Wonderful family run place!

It's the best restaurant in the area, the pizza was great, the crab, chilli and mint tortellini was EXCEPTIONAL, and the service is lovely. We'll be back very soon, thank you for the care and attention.

This really is an absolute hidden gem of restaurant ❤️ Family run, and run very well. I think I possibly had the best seafood linguine I’ve ever had, scrub that - that was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had 10 out of 10 - thank you.

Went here Saturday with friends, the food was fantastic I had the fillet steak which was cooked to perfection with a truffle cream sauce. My wife had the homemade lasagna. The owner’s were so friendly, will definitely be going back.😊

Another delicious meal here, we had the pumpkin tortellini and crab and prawn tortellini both were incredible. We asked for a dessert recommendation as liked everything on the menu…. WOW the pistachio fondant was outstanding, we shared one and regretted not getting one each. Finished with a coffee liqueur which was the perfect finish! We will be back very soon! If you haven’t been and like authentic Italian food you won’t get better than this!

Superb food. Lovely staff. Very friendly. Went one afternoon. Very quiet but I didn't mind. Lovely ambience. Definitely visit again.

A hidden gem of lancing! The most authentic Italian food. We had the chicken pasta and clam pasta, both were absolutely delicious. Followed by tiramisu and a limoncello with the owners! Fantastic service, can’t wait to return as there was lots on the menu I wanted to try. A must to visit if you love pizza and pasta

Just home from an early supper to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. A beautiful crab filled pasta ( home made ) with king prawns,a delightful buttery citrusy dressing. Delicious! Hubby had a superb pizza, smoked mozzarella and meatballs. Loads of topping, very flavoursome and filling ! I managed some crust to soak up the last if my tasty butter 😀 We were the only people in at that time , but early and football on probably had something to do with that. Staff attentive and very friendly. I'd recommend a trip here, yes.not the cheapest Italian restaurant around,but by far the he most superior and authentic . Debs x

We had a wonderful family time in your restaurant; food was fresh and delicious, service was friendly and loved the Italian authentic atmosphere.

bit late on the review, but just wanted to say, what a gem this place it, food is spot on...just see for yourself, you wont be disappointed...

I had lunch here with my partner. We had pizzas. I have tried several Italian places around but this one disappointed big times unfortunately. It may have been only the pizzas we ordered but I would not go back or recommend to others.

Amazing food, friendly helpful service and a fantastic atmosphere with people chatting and laughing - I hate it when restaurants are really quiet!!!!

Dined here last Saturday. A memorable experience in every respect. The best seafood linguine we've eaten in the UK and an Italian welcome like no other. The family business reflects the very best of Neapolitan cuisine in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. We struck such a chord with the proprietors that I'm sure we'll all remember this occasion, both we as customers and all the staff. Eat there if you visit Worthing; eat there if you are anywhere near Worthing. They are warm, professional people.

Our third visit and as always superb food and excellent attentive service. A hidden gem. Thoroughly recommended.

Lancing has its own Italian restaurant. Family run, record breaking chef.

Real Italian food and a really friendly atmosphere.

Simply the best authentic Italian!

Amazing food with lovely, friendly staff. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. Will definitely recommend it to all! 🥰

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. Delicious dishes, nice service and wonderful atmosphere. I would highly recommend!❤️

WOW what a discovery ! The standard and quality of the food at this restaurant is exceptional ! We were just looking for a local place that would be good for my 14 yr olds birthday and thought pizza would be ideal.. but i hate the pizza chains with there english/american version of italian pizza - so i called and checked this place had the real thing made fresh - confirmed :) So we went along and the kids had pizza real authentic pizza, crispy dough, great quality ingredients :))) But i thought id risk trying a steak .. I say risk because 99% of the time i am so dissapointed by the mediorce standard of steaks i get in restarants - again the steak chains seem to be the worst ! So i politley asked if the fillet steak was fresh & the proper thick cut & could i possibly ask the chef to see it - no problem, they were happy to do it. The chef offered up 3 great looking thick cuts of quality looking fillet - good start but the best was yet to come... i love a med- rare steak with a decent chef prepped creamy peppercorn sauce - they had their own 3 type pepper corn sauce.... So i have eaten in some top restaurants in 39 diff countries in the world including in the top ten and Michelin starred - This Steak was exceptional easily equal best wish the best i have ever had .... and that hasn't happened to often ! This is due to both the fantastic quality of the streak by the chef sourcing the best supplier & exceptional standard of preperation and cooking. I would have expected and have paid double for this eceptional standard of steak meal ! So i will be returning again ....& again .....& ....... So happy to discover this quality on my doorstep with out having to travel to hove brighton or worthing and paying more !!!

I wish we'd all taken some photos, but the plates were all so appetising that we forgot. The four of us really enjoyed the whole evening. Well looked after with hot, freshly cooked, delicious meals. And a birthday balloon, too. Thank you! This was a special dinner, but I'm keen to go back for lunchtime pizza!

Family run restaurant, really fresh food, very generous portions. Great choices and traditional Italian food.

A Delightful New Year's Eve Experience! My wife & I had the pleasure of dining at Ocurniciello on New Year's Eve, and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The specials on the menu were nothing short of amazing – each dish was a culinary masterpiece that showcased the chef's expertise. From appetisers to desserts, every bite was a celebration of flavors. The attention to detail in both presentations with an Italian flag made of herbs on each plate and the taste truly elevated the dining experience. The team as always are attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive impression. Ocurniciello's commitment to providing an exceptional dining experience shines through in every aspect. If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Lancing that goes above and beyond, this is the place to be. I highly recommend trying their specials for a delightful culinary journey, and if octopus carpaccio is available you must try it. Cheers for a fantastic New Year's Eve at Ocurniciello!

An absolute delight! This authentic Italian restaurant captivates with exquisite flavors, impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance. A must-visit for a true taste of Italy's culinary treasures. Five stars 🌟 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 🌟

I was told by a friend to try this restaurant out,having Italian parents and growing up with amazing food due to my Mum's cooking skills and various Italian functions she has catered for over 50 years,I have always been dubious and dissapointed in nearly all of the Italian restaurants that I have visited in England. But I have to say that Enzo Fiore Italian restaurant and pizzeria is up there with any restaurant that I have visited in Italy and even Naples.

A great meal. Strongly recommended for a great Italian restaurant

The staff were very friendly and efficient and the lunch menu was great value for money.

Excellent pizza fritter, took us straight back to having the street food on holiday in Naples

If you are looking for a real Italian restaurant where the chef cooks with fresh, carefully selected, authentic Italian ingredients, O’ Curniciello in Lancing is highly recommended. Beautifully presented dishes, generous portions, lovely atmosphere and excellent service. I’ve been a customer since the restaurant was opened few years ago and I’ve never been disappointed once! Enzo and his team are phenomenal! Romina Membrini

Is good place for Italian food lover

I recently had the pleasure of trying a cake from this restaurant and it was absolutely fantastic! The flavors were incredible, and the cake itself was moist and perfectly baked. I highly recommend their creations to anyone looking for a delicious treat. Thank you, for making such a delightful cake 🎂

Sono venuto a cena da Enzo con la mia famiglia che vive in UK. Uno dei migliori ristoranti in cui ho mangiato. Sicuramente se volete mangiare italiano, Enzo è il punto di riferimento nel Sussex. Sicuramente consigliato.

Enzo made the best pizza I ever eat in my life. I’m italian and I tried a lot of pizzas in my life. The first pizza for my 1 year old baby was the Enzo and she really enjoyed. Enzo and his wife are very friendly people. If you like a proper Italian food, you need to try Enzo restaurant. Definitely we will back

Ho mangiato in questo ristorante italiano nel mio viaggio recente a Lancing. Ho mangiato divinamente. Tutti prodotti freschissimi e cucinati in maniera spettacolare. Lo chef Enzo Fiore porta i suoi clienti in paradiso. Grazie per questa esperienza fantastica. In nessun ristorante io mi sono sentita a casa come da O Curniciello. Consigliatissimo!!!!!

Brilliant to see such an amazing restaurant in Lancing. Staff were extremely friendly and food was warming but light. No idiot with a pepper grinder bothering you whilst eating. As a veggie, the range was great and they catered better than most. Will definitely be back! Thank you O'Curniciello :)

Lovely food, lovely people, brilliant atmosphere, the highlight of Lancing! If you want an authentic Italian experience in Lancing, you cannot miss O'Curnciello!

A Superb and genuine Italian Restaurant If you want to taste Italian food O'Curniciello is the restaurant to go. Enzo is great!!!!! Riccardo Bonomi

Had a birthday meal here and absolutely no complaints! The food was incredible and couldn’t fault it in the slightest and the staff were lovely and friendly! They even went above and beyond with a birthday balloon! Highly recommend and we will be back!

Very disappointed food, for the amount that we paid the food was bland. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

On the 06 October 8 friends of mine went to the Enzo in Worthing we sat by the door my friend Sue wanted a rounded table so people can talk all

Best pizza in the South East. Very authentic!!! With an Italian wife, the standards are quite high!!!

This place is amazing! The dough of the pizza is incredible one of the best I’ve tried.

Enjoyed a super.b lasagne here (rich flavour with a wonderful cheesy topping), perfectly complemented by the clean tasting chianti. Good service. Nice relaxed intimate atmosphere. Lunch-time menu appealingly priced - we'll be back!

I recently dined here and I must say it was a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance and warm greetings from the staff set the tone for an enjoyable evening. The menu offered a delightful array of Italian dishes, and each one we tried was a culinary masterpiece. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and flavorful. The pizza, with its thin, crispy crust and fresh toppings, transported me straight to Italy. The service was impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who made excellent wine recommendations to complement our meal. The attention to detail and genuine passion for Italian cuisine were evident in every dish served. The dessert was the perfect ending to our meal. The tiramisu was heavenly, and the panna cotta was a creamy delight. Overall, this Italian Restaurant in Lancing exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent Italian food. Finally a real Italian place in Worthing / Lancing !

I recently dined at Enzo Fiore, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience was perfect. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes, and each one was a culinary masterpiece. I couldn’t resist starting with king prawns and Incredible mussels, followed by a mouthwatering plate of homemade pasta and a Neapolitan pizza. The flavors were simply divine, and the portion sizes were generous. What truly set this restaurant apart was the attention to detail in their food preparation. It was evident that they used only the freshest ingredients, and the chef’s passion for Italian cuisine shone through in every bite. To accompany our meal, we chose a lovely Italian wine from their extensive selection, expertly recommended by our server. Dessert was the perfect ending to our meal, with the tiramisu being an absolute standout.

Good evening. We’ve been into you a fair few times now. Honestly THE BEST restaurant ever. Always amazing food from the chefs and service from the perfectly beautiful FOH women. Thank you all so much you all are truely wonderful. It legitimately feels like you are part of the family 🍝🍕🥩

Just love this place. There's always a brilliant atmosphere here, along with lovely staff and great service. The food is absolutely delicious too. So I will always definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone out there, especially if you love the tasty italian food.... ahhh, it's simply the best!!!! 😃👌

Would never attend restaurant again. Starter portion enough for toddler, to be fair they they did add to the portion size after we challenged size for cost. To top off evening, they dished up a dishwater looking pizza with a piece of plastic in. They had the nerve to normalise it to say it was off the sausage and then later suggested we added it! The couple next to us had to return their Lasagne as it was still frozen. Poor service, poor quality & no customer service. They will never have our custom again. Sadly had to issue 1 star to be able to post but otherwise wouldn’t have given them any.

Really enjoyable evening. First time visit having recently moved into the area. Service and food was amazing. It’s a little gem in lancing and well worth a visit. 🍕🍷 bellissimo italiano 🇮🇹

Me and my family have had the most amazing meal tonight. Everything from the minute we arrived to the minute we left was perfect. The best authentic italian produce and the lovliest and caring staff. We will be back🇮🇹

I had an absolutely fantastic meal here with my father and my baby. Very child friendly, fantastic food, wonderful service and an absolutely exceptional lunchtime deal. I feel really grateful to have this in lancing!

Just lovely, and the fresh pizza makes your weekend all the better

Traditional and delicious Neapolitan pizza!!! Buonissima!

Toller Service, super Essen!!!.. Preise sind angemessen, Qualität darf auch was kosten. Klasse italienischer Abend in England…

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen, mit zuvorkommend Service der Chefin. Italienisches Flair in England.

A real hidden gem, We had a delicious fillet steak meal Thursday evening, friendly staff and good service. The Steak was so tender and juicy, the sauces and glaze were the best I've ever had, we shall be back soon. Thanks Enzo 😉

This is a hidden jam in Lancing! I had the tagliatelle al Filletto and it was delicious! Highly recommended!!

I have just been to lunch with a friend here and the food was so good! The dough on my pizzia had literally just been made and it was yum! My friend chose swordfish and he said it was delicious. We were pretty stuffed, so didn't manage dessert, but had a beer to wash down the good food. The waitress was lovely too. Highly recommend this fab restaurant tucked away in Lancing.

WELL! I don't often write reviews but we are absolutely blown away to have found this hidden gem last night - On a camping trip with close friends, we wandered into Lancing to see what we could get for my birthday dinner. We had passed the place earlier in the day and the menu looked good - lots of choice - so we made a reservation. We never expected the food to be THAT good - much of the food is shipped from Italy we were told, and what a wine list! It was overall an amazing 5 * experience from an authentic Italian chef from Napoli. and his wife, who created an unforgettable culinary experience for us. Authentic dishes, exceptional pizzas, and warm hospitality. I will be back!

Dieses Restaurant empfehlen wir gerne! Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, Hund ist dort kein Problem, dafür schonmal ein Extra-Sternchen, das kann in England nämlich schon schwierig sein. Die Dame die uns bediente war außergewöhnlich nett und flott. Wir bestellten 2 Pizzen und die waren ihr Geld wert. Erstmal was für's Auge und so lecker..alles schmeckte so frisch. Da kommt nichts aus der Dose auf den Teller sondern da wird noch richtig gekocht. Toll!

Best pizza and pasta I’ve had in the UK, and uniquely creative. And you can tell they are passionate about it - even without the Guinness records. You can’t do better in the country.

Lovely food, staff very friendly and many options.

Loved the food and service.Thanks Abi.

Excellent atmosphere coupled with friendly service. Food was high quality and reasonably priced

Extra mile given by staff to accommodate my desert, made me a special cheese board Fantastic service

Overpriced pizzas. We ordered two seafood and one mushroom & truffle, and the amount of seafood on the pizza was minimal. For a pizza that costs £14.50, we were expecting more!

We ate at O’Curniciello on Wednesday 7/6/2023 and enjoyed good food and friendly service, thank you!

Authentic Italian taste, the spaghetti scoglio is to die for ,I didn't had the time to make a picture as I was very enthusiastic to eat my seafood.

Best truffle pizza I have ever had - what a fantastic find will definitely be going back - friendly service - great food - lovely atmosphere 😊

Absolutely love this place!!! Amazing food and service, here regularly! 10/10

Very good service and excellent food

Such a wonderful evening,the food,the atmosphere,the staff makes you feeling welcomed as italian and especially Neapolitan do,i come with my family every month to see my father and it's becoming a habit to come in this authentic Italian restaurant.I' m Italian and I can admit the cuisine here is like my Nonna used to cook to me. Thank you O'Curniciello, and thank you Enzo Fiore Lancing have a real hidden jem!

100% give it less then 1 star!!! Management is so so rude. Avoid!!!!

Fantastic food, service and value. The chef is very talented, we had a pasta dish and also a pizza, both were excellent. Only feedback we have is on the tomatoes in our starter salads could be better quality - but wouldn’t stop us returning! Keep up the good work

Delicious food in our local Italian restaurant. Friendly family atmosphere and lovely place to stop and have lunch. Look forward to next visit.

Excellent restaurant, pizza et pâtes délicieuses.

Amazing food and lovely Staff. Enjoyed every dish. Will definitely be going back

Welcoming and attentive staff. Beautifully decorated restaurant on Mothering Sunday. Great menu range, so we will need to come back to try more. Today we tried crab linguini, spaghetti allo scoglio, cannelloni and tiramisu. A lot of care into good quality ingredients and presentation. We will be back!

Excellent service from Abi,very friendly and helpful.

This is a real hidden little treasure! I had this place in my mind as a must go to! One of my best mates is a real fan & he is from Italy so he has the inside scoop on what is authentic, definitely! Last Friday night - I had a calzone style pizza & this is favourite of mine. It was fresh, cooked perfectly and the portion size was immense. I had to take quite a bit home - I have a big appetite & I had been fasting all day but it defeated me The staff are attentive, warm, knowledgeable, kind, friendly & the service was absolutely fantastic! The prices too are beyond reasonable & Prosecco at only £6:50 a glass - what more could you ask for! What a treat & more than a best kept secret I can’t recommend this place enough - thank you! :)

Accidentally came across this restaurant and it was one of the best meals I have had in a very long time. The sharing platter we had was incredible, the staff were really friendly and we can't wait to return.

Food choice excellent and served by friendly staff. My fillet steak cooked to perfection. Will definitely visit again.

The food is excellent and authentically Italian, served in a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.

Superb food last night at this super little restaurant in Lancing. The waiting staff are lovely, food came promptly and was delicious. My second visit this year and I will be going back again!

Was good years ago. Now it seems they're just greedy, maybe to recoup through what was lost in covid? £14 for pasta I'd rather make it myself for the price 😂

Très très bon restaurant Italien. Nourriture excellente. Ambiance super. Le Patron et son épouse sont très accueillant A recommander

Erg lekker eten en een uitstekende bediening. We kwamen nogal hongerig aan en kregen snel wat brood. We hebben een uitstekende antipasta gehad met zeer goede wijn. (Primitivo uit Puglia) Het eten was bijzonder goed. Daarna nog een heerlijk dessert en koffie. Dit restaurant is authentiek Italiaans en het is om die reden goed de échte Italiaanse gerechten te proberen.

This was our second visit here and both times the food has been outstanding. Last night we did feel a little rushed but this was made up for with the great food and good service. The mussels are perfect and the lasagne was delicious.

Location incantevole, piatti deliziosi, accoglienza calorosa....una zuppa di cozze invidiabile.....grazie Enzo e Abir

This was our review and then below the owners response! Come to you own conclusions:- "We had high expectations on the previous reveiews. Two out of three of us wanted spag bol (the reason we went to this Italian and yes we do know its not an authentic Italian food) but we were told they did not have any. I am not going to say anymore about this but that in itself is not acceptable. How can we give any higher than poor for this? IThe other dishes were hardly eaten. No doubt we will get told that we should have raised the issue then however no one queried that most of two dishes went back uneaten nor did anyone ask us if all was ok during the meal. We had gone out for a quite family meal not a potential confrontation!" Owners response:- Trattoriapizzer... O, General Manager at O Curniciello, responded to this reviewResponded 31 July 2022 "I saw that 90%of your reviews are negatives especially for restaurants,it’s a big sign of frustration and fury …but if you think that you are so good in cuisine why you didn’t opted for opening your own restaurant,we would love to be your first customers and judge you…we are ITALIANS and we know exactly how the food must be cooked don’t need any lessons from you ALIEN as you describe your self in your profile and naming yourself ALIEN MEANS A LOT….First of all when I served you I said the Bolognese is sold out it’s mean that it was requested for the hole day and we simply finished it never said we don’t do it…as we are a very AUTHENTIC ITALIAN RESATAURANT,we cook everything fresh nothing is frozen or preheated! when we finish the Bolognese prepared for that day,it’s mean we will cook another fresh sauce for the day after simple ,I won’t be long to explain how the work in kitchen must be done as your are not a Chef but our ITALIAN Chef have a certificate from Italy allowing him to teach and make training in uk just in case you are interested one day. We have a very rich menu with a lot of options but you was obsessed by the Bolognese ,I’m so surprised when you said that I didn’t asked if everything was ok because I came personally to see your table to ensure that all was good,the dishes was eaten buy the other members of your family but I noticed a high level of mess on your plate ,on the top of the table cover,and in the floor very embarrassing for an adult….a kid of 5 years old is able to make less mess.I just want to let you know that we don’t wake up in the morning with the intention to upset any customer and we didn’t made anything to make your family meal “not quite”but seems you was very moody that day and you exploded when you didn’t found your BOLOGNESE !Take a breath ,smile and relax you negativity in the most 90% of your reviews is a big sign of dissatisfaction making you feeling uncomfortable for example when you don’t find a Sapg Bol ….."
