Enzo Fiore Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria O' Curniciello in Adur

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

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 🎂

Is good place for Italian food lover

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

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.

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!

Traditional and delicious Neapolitan pizza!!! Buonissima!

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

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 😉

Superb food and excellent attentive service. A hidden gem. Thoroughly recommended.

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! :)

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

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.

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 ….."

The best pizza I've had outside Italy. Absolutely wonderful food and atmosphere. Since visiting we have even ordered for take-away and that is just as good! Highly recommend!

Lovely atmosphere and staff. Really surprised as we didn't realise the restaurant was there but others obviously did as the place was full inside and out. Food was really good and served hot. Definately go there again!

Absolutely impeccable food, friendly staff and incredible service coupled with authentic Italian cuisine made for a wonderful and perfect evening. I could not recommend going here more. A must visit if you enjoy Italian food!

Visited this great restaurant on Friday for the 1st time after reading the reviews. We had the lunch time menu, which is a bargain. The food is top quality as is the service! Nice bubbly restaurant which you should visit !!😀 It won't be long until we go again too start going through the rest of the large menu. So many thanks to Enzo and team for a wonderful experience.👍 Daz and Trudi Worthing

My fourth visit to this lovely restaurant. The staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic. We ate outside last night which gave a real holiday vibe. I always have the calamari as a starter as its simply the best! The main courses are beatifully served and the menu is varied and hard to choose what to have. If you want a "real Italian" pizza though you will not be disappointed! Mine was gorgeous

One of the best Italian restaurant ever! Food is delicious, made with fresh and authentic ingredients, portions are generous and pricing very reasonable, top service from the staff as well. Wide choice menu will meet everyone's taste. It only took one visit to make me an abitual customer.

We were told there was a wait, which is fine, but we did not think it was also to take the order. Waited 30 minutes to wait to order and a further 35 minutes to get the food. Pizza was heavy, neapolitan pizza is usually light. The owner claims that he was trained in "Di Matteo" and "Al Sarago" very famous restaurants in Naples, but I'm not sure if he ever turned up to the training. I ate the pizza, I ate it all, so did it my wife, just because after all the wait we were starving.

What can I say? Absolutely one of the best Spaghetti allo Scoglio I've ever had! The taste was to die for ❤️ I tried as well my fiancée's pizza, he had Il Sole di Napoli, it was wonderful!! Totally recommend!! 😍

I would absolutely recommend this restaurant! It’s a hidden gem, incredible food, reasonably priced with ingredients sourced from Italy and excellent, attentive staff! Cannot wait to visit again soon! Thank you for such a lovely evening!

One of the nicest meals I've had in a long time. I'm always wary of eating steak in a restaurant, but mine was lovely, gorganzola sauce was great. We'll definitely come here again

Excellent service and very good value lunch menu.

Awesome proper Italian. If fact one of the best in Sussex....and I've been to a lot. The food was absolutely a amazing. It was quite quiet, so we were spoilt by the staff. I will definitely be going back.

The best Italian outside of Italy. Incredible food, fantastic service and lovely staff. Highly recommend. We had seafood risotto, seafood pasta and lasagna as mains. The starter of meatballs, mushrooms and egg plant was phenomenal yet I normally hate egg plant. Really try this place it’s soooo good

1st class meal. Great service without a big hole in my wallet. Very much recommended.

This pizza is the closest to the ones we had in Italy ... absolutely lovely 😍

Best Italian restaurant I've ever been in UK! Tasty and genuine, "sea food antipasto" is the real Italian experience. Great service, great selection of wine. "Fritto misto" like in a beach's restaurant in Italy (just the portion is different) ! Highly recommend ! Grazie ragazzi!

Had heard great things about this place and was in the area and really fancied a pizza. Called and there was no answer, so I thought oh well. But not 1 minute later I received a call back from the restaurant and made an order. There’s not many places that bothers to call its customers back these days, so was chuffed by that. Hey collected the pizza 30mins later and it was delicious. Freshly made dough. High quality ingredients used and the tomatoes used in the sauce were beautiful & sweet (not sugary like “fast food” pizzerias) I say Grazie Mille to their friendly and efficient service and stunning pizzas. I look forward to sampling more on the menu

The staff were really nice. But the food was absolutely pony. First of all the garlic bread tasted like fish. For main my missus asked for penne pasta, but spaghetti was brought out. Then my calzone was brought out, but was freezing cold in the middle. I got the calzone taken back, replaced with penne pasta which was undercooked and had definitely been microwaved. The only thing they got right was the drinks.

Wonderful genuine Italian cuisine. Perfect pizza and pasta. Service is the right level of being attentive and respective. Enjoy a meal that's full of flavour, cooked with passion.

We had a lovely meal here with the children. Pizzas are wonderful and the Calamari was lovely and fresh. A nice little place to go which isn't mainstream. Draught Italian beer was a nice touch too. The staff were friendly and accommodating, welcoming our 2 little boys. Give the place a go if you have stumbled across this review as it is traditional cuisine made by a team that wants their business to last.

Enjoyed an excellent pizza on Valentine's evening. Restaurant was beautifully lit, ballooned, pretty tables, great friendly atmosphere. Bambino's welcome. There were some excellent meals brought out to other tables and generous portions. Mostly fish/seafood. Good choice of wines available. I do recommend.
