We were looking forward to our first visit to what seemed to be a popular and well liked restaurant for its food and ambience. I booked personally 2 days ago with a pleasant Italian owner or staff member. All seemed promising and authentic Italian. Our booking was to nite and our two young waitresses were pleasant but maybe not experienced. I tried to order the house white but was informed it had only been chilled for 5 minutes so I selected a different wine which also was not cold and not pleasent. We ordered our starters which was a simple roasted vegetable and mozzarella dish. When it arrived 25 minutes later it looked bland and consisted of just aubergine and courgette. It was under seasoned and totally tasteless. We tried to remain positive for the main event, sadly to be disappointed further. My friend ordered the sea food dish comprising of prawn, squid, mussels encased in a bread/pizza style casing. Once opened it revealed a grey mush that she described as "sick like". It was so unappealing and bland and she could barely eat it. Mine was an interesting take on a classic pasta with asparagus and plentiful peas. Again not appealing on the eye or in the taste of which there was none. Again under seasoned, unappetising and basically boring. Gordon Ramsey would have had a field day.... We told our waitress how disappointed we were and she said she would inform the "chef". We waited for his appearance which was not forthcoming, so we paid the bill and left... For what we had in terms of quality and presentation it was definately overpriced and under delivered on all levels. Such a shame as reviews from previous year's suggest otherwise. Maybe something has changed recently.... We will not be returning..

Quite awful. Tasteless food which took over a hour to arrive. Quite why mangetout and salad are the accompaniment to pork(which was tasteless) is a mystery. The chicken stated as rolled in mozzarella was actually flat with what seemed to be cubed tinned ham and cheese - it was awful. The food was tasteless. We told the waitress who went into the kitchen but clearly the chef didn’t think we deserved a response. The waiting staff were nice but honestly could not recommend to anyone

Very nice meal, we shared the starter and dessert and each had a main, bottle of wine, £64. Nice, friendly, easy atmosphere. Young lady called Poppy was brilliant at service, all on her own.

We found this wonderful little restaurant by chance. Having headed to Ferring for a long awaited walk along the beach we discovered the Bluebird had closed early so googled somewhere local to eat. Ristorante Al Mare popped up and we called ahead and booked an outside table. So glad we did - the welcome was so friendly, we were seated next to friendly locals [carefully distanced of course], the menu was excellent, the wine selection perfect and we enjoyed Breads with balsamic & olive oil, olives, a delicious starter of local crab with pear and watercress, followed by a spinach gnocchi dish and Tuscan sausage spaghetti all washed down by a delicious Verdicchio. The cheeseboard spied across the next table looked rather special and we were too full to sample the desserts. We shall definitely return!

This place is lovely however it is quite small which there is nothing wrong with but I would not recommend sitting outside as there was no outdoor heating. The staff were lovely especially the young girl she was so kind and accommodating! You may be wondering why the rabbits well two of our party ordered lasagna and we were disappointed to find most of the meat was in fact carrots instead with the side salad we ordered which also included a lot of carrots however it was still nice but we were slightly disappointed but the waitress we had was absolutely lovely thank you for making the evening up from 1/2 stars to 3.

On two occasions now, we have enjoyed takeaway pizzas from Ristorante al Mare. My husband loves the prawn with chilli and garlic, whereas I go for a ham and mushroom (not listed on the menu, but they kindly do it for me anyway). The pizzas are really delicious, lovely pillowy crust and tasty toppings. The delivery is free to East Preston addresses and I think this is an excellent service during lockdown. I hope lots of locals support this venture.

This is always our "go to" restaurant when we are staying in Rustington - so much so that we visited twice in three days recently. They only open for prebooked parties on Sunday lunchtimes and this time there were two parties booked in inculding us. Food was spot on as always and Roberto is always willing to alter things to individual tastes. He also shared one of his secrets for the perfect lasagna - if you want to know you will have to eat here and ask him yourself. For the second visit we shared two desserts which were wonderful. Very rich but full of flavour. The winter menu will be starting in October and we are looking forward to trying some warming Sardinian soups and stews. Did I mention that they are dog friendly too? What more could you want??/

Another great meal at this restaurant, but this one cooked by Ben as his dad has a bad back. He really is a chip off the old block and shares his fathers passion for food. I love the pizzas and the attention to detail with little additions which really enhance the flavour of the quality ingredients. My only criticism was the limited number of desserts but thats just me being greedy. If I want a decent meal out in the area this is always my first choice.

Went to their Sardinian evening with friends and had a fabulous feast and time. For starters we had a mixed antipasti platter, to follow smoked fish, to die for, and a fresh seafood salad. Followed by a classic Sardinian pasta dish of Mallardusu with Bortagga. Excuse spelling!! If that wasnt enough we were then served the most scrumptiuos meat platter of pork, lamb and Sardinian fennel sausages with roast aubergine and fennel!! To finish Sardinian biscotti soaked in Mirto liquer!! It was a feast and accompanied by a white and red Sardinian wine. It was a great evening restaurant full and buzzing highly recommend. All of the food is cooked fresh. For a local italian it is absolutely delicious and great place to enjoy an intimate lunch or dinner with friends and family. Great value fixed price for the Sardinian night.

A group of us went to this restaurant with 5 of us choosing a vongole dish for main course. We had asked what type of pasta and been told it was Sicilian style but we had not been told it was more like pearl barley than pasta and very odd, more like a baby food. Worse though, was it had no flavour at all and so much grit from the clams it was like eating something off the beach. All four of us who had left literally the whole bowl and yet not once were we asked if there was a problem or how our meal was.

Tried this restaurant for the first time to celebrate a "big" birthday. The restaurant was not full but even so it had nice atmosphere and the service was very good.The food was of a good standard and as the owner is Sardinian very traditional and authentic. There were 6 in our group with 4 of us having pizza's and the other two the swordfish which was the fish of the day. They had both visited Sardinia and said it was every bit if not better than similar dishes they had enjoyed there. We had a very nice bottle of wine which I think was Sardinian and the cost would not break the bank. After our meal the owner and chef came out to chat to us and explained that all his ingredients are sourced locally and especially his fish and seafood which is always bought fresh on the day. He can also cook special dishes on request as long as he has at least 24 hours notice. All in all it was a very good lunch and we will certainly be back. At £20 per head for two courses plus drinks (wine) etc.. we thought it very good value for money. Recommended.

We came here for my sisters birthday. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was busy and a nice atmosphere. We were a bit disappointed with the portion sizes of some of the meals that came to our table. My husband had the veal and whilst it was very nice it was also on the small side for the price charged, he had hardly any sweet potato on his plate with a small serving of veg with it. Myself and parents had the lasagne which whilst it was nice it was quite runny(the sauce) and there was not garnish with it which was disappointing. When it came to pudding we were all very disappointed as there was only one cheesecake left on the menu and the ice cream. My self and my dad had chosen the Ice cream only for one of us to be served one scoop as the ice cream had run out!! My sister didn’t fancy the sorbet and that was the only thing they said she could have which was gluten free. To then find out when my mum was about to eat the last cheesecake that my sister actually could of had that. I find it really disappointing that a restaurant runs that low on puddings especially on a Saturday evening. Apart from those things mentioned we did however have a nice evening.

I am sure that had any grievances been reported to Sam and Roberto at the time would have been sorted out there and then. We have always been treated with care and respect, and although due to the size of the kitchen, the choice may not be as big as some other restaurants, they try to accommodate people needs in a very relaxed and happy manner.

During our first holiday in beautiful East Preston we discovered Ristorante Al Mare and made our first visit on a damp and chilly Tuesday evening. The weather soon became irrelevant once we had been warmly welcomed by the owner and his son. What is not to like :) - although not the most inexpensive Italian Restaurant we have ever eaten in, it is true what they say "You get what you pay for"!!!The entire experience was faultless including pleasant surroundings, good wine, fabulous food and exceptional prompt (without being rushed) and friendly service.We rarely visit the same restaurant twice in a week (especially when it is such a good one that we may be disappointed) but this was the exception. In fact we booked for our last evening and the experience was just as good. Although the restaurant was quite busy the welcome and the service from Sam (if i have remembered her name correctly) was quite simply outstanding.Being just two of us we suspected the large table might get the most attention - this was not the case!!! Sam treated us as though we were the only people there and even found time to chat about the food and life in Sardinia.In summary, I cannot praise this restaurant and the staff more highly and, when we return to East Preston, Ristorante Al Mere will be our first port of call :)

We recently ate here on a Thursday evening on the spur of the moment. The restaurant has a great 'feel' to it, friendly and welcoming. The menu is smallish but very comprehensive. The food was excellent from the bread and olives, fish starters and the main course pizzas through to an Italian cheese board. I could have eaten just about anything from the menu so return visits are assured. The staff were superb and it felt more like home than a restaurant. We have since returned to sample the breakfast which was just as good as we had anticipated. Italian food cooked with heart and served with warmth and pleasure. Highly recommended.

Went to this restaurant today for lunch, first time diner. Had a wonderful Chicken Alffredo, really tasty. Very reasonable - other diner had seabass which he thought was very good. Starters were also excellent. Definitely go again, bigger menu in the evening I understand. Lady host was very friendly and gave us loads of info re food and whe the chefs influence was from (Sardinia). Chef also came and said hello.

We are regular visitors to the Ristorante al Mare and are never disappointed. A wonderful addition to the choice for dinner in East Preston. The pizzas are fantastic and the fish always wonderful. Great job Roberto!

We love it here - the food and service are fabulous and it's great value for money. Whilst there is a reasonable amount of choice you'll enjoy it more if you like fish. Calamari is scrumptious

Me and the wife fancied some Italian food so decided to pop into this restaurant as we had met the owners on a previous occasion luckily we live in the village so it's just a short stroll up the road for us. It's a lovely little quaint restaurant and the service and the food was exceptional we both had a great night and will certainly be returning next time we need a Italian fix. Keep up the great work and see you both again very soon

Roberto is a real Sardinian, cooking food as authentically as he can in East Preston. It is tough for him, because the ingredients available are not quite Sardinian and he doesn't have enough covers to cook everything fresh, so my aubergine starter was very hot on the outside but slightly cool on the inside. But he does cook very well, and my 3 lamb cutlets were pink as requested, quite delicious, sitting on a generous helping on plenty of herby mash. The pizza breads are good fun with various toppings and make a change from baguette. The wine list was well chosen, fairly priced and mostly Italian. Water was provided, free, and the waitress was truly charming, and chatty too. As his reputation becomes established, I expect everything to improve, and I shall keep on going regularly because he's the only restaurant in the village which offers home cooked non-Asian "slow food" which is fresh and authentic.

Last night was the first time I have been to this restaurant and it was amazing. I went with a couple of friends and we each had the pizza deal (pizza + drink for £9.99) and the food was just beautiful! The pizzas came out very hot and obviously freshly made. We each had a different pizza and were all very pleased. It was such a lovely and relaxed evening and the lovely waitress was extremely good. She was very polite and funny. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be going back!

We called on last night to their pizza and drink night. Amber was our delightful waitress. We had a lovely night and the food was good. Will go again soon to try something elseIt felt like we were going to Italy. Very personal and not sophisticated but so charming. I am sure this will become a successful business

What a great little place this restaurant is. As soon as you walk in and sit down you feel your in a small part of Sardinia. Great staff felt very welcome from the first until last moment. Food is amazing, fresh and made to order, I had crab spaghetti and it was one of the best I've had, calamari as a starter was amazing to. Good quality wine went down well to. Can't wait to return and try pizzas.

Sam and the other waitress gave us a warm friendly welcome on a busy Saturday evening. Service was attentive and prompt. We both had pasta dishes which we enjoyed. This is a good local Italian restaurant in the heart of East Preston village. We've heard their pizzas are very good, will try them on our next visit.

Lovely family atmosphere, very friendly. We enjoyed a 3 course evening meal of king prawns and garlic pizza bread followed by the salmon with penne pasta then delicious ice creams! Will definitely be returning to this restaurant to try their home made cakes and can't wait to have another superb meal. Thank you to all at Ristorante Al Mare for our lovely evening

After visiting places in Worthing, myself and a friend were looking to grab a bit to eat for lunch. We walked in the door at 1:45pm, the place looked like it was just about to close but after asking if they were still serving ther answer was YES. The daily special of Seafood Risotto was wonderful and the limon mouse was mouthwatering. Nothing was too much trouble, even thought we were the only ones eating. Thank you and we will be back again.

This has recently moved from part-time, shared premises locally. It is Italian and the menu is primarily pasta and pizza. It lacks atmosphere and the service can be amateur. The food is disappointing, especially the pasta, which was cardboard -like and bland. It was also only lukewarm and had to go back to be reheated. Several items were 'off' so dessert choices were limited. To use the toilet, customers have to exit the restaurant and walk around the back. We wanted to give Al Mare a try when it moved to its own premises, but we won't rush back, sadly.

Visited with my husband for a lovely quiet dinner and made the best choice of my life when I ordered the Streaky Italian pizza. I have to say I'm a huge pizza fan and have never tasted anything as good as this - and I've eaten a few pizzas in my lifetime! True homemade Italian pizza to die for. Can't recommend it any higher. I'm in love ☺

We had a very nice lunch in this 9 table small Restaurant with 2 additional pavement tables. The menu was inevitably restricted, but this meant that every dish was freshly prepared and delicious. Roberto, the proprietor was very friendly and extremely helpful.. The good, clean, bright decor took one straight to Sardinia. Maybe the chairs could be more comfortable and the room a tad warmer, nevertheless we had a lovely meal and can recommend this fairly new establishment, and expect it to thrive.Recommended

I’m not usually one for leaving reviews, but this kebab shop definitely warrants one. This is the first time I’ve eaten here after hearing such good things from a couple of friends and it did not disappoint. Slightly out of my area, but so worth the travel and will 100% be my new kebab shop. I had a chicken kebab and the chicken was absolutely amazing!! The salad is lovely and fresh and the rice is such a good touch. Brilliant portion sizes too. You really get your moneys worth. The guy that took my order and prepared the food is really polite and nothing was too much trouble. Best kebab I’ve ever had. Thankyou

Me and my wife used to be fairly regular patrons here and then weren't able to go as much, but we managed to go this month for the first time in a long time. Still some of the best food I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Great service too from start to finish. Truthfully, this would have been a 5 star review but the menu has had so much removed from it and personally I know found it slightly limited. But what they do have is the best Italian food around.

We recently visited this Italian restaurant in Arundel without a reservation, but the host was friendly and quickly arranged a table for us, which was appreciated. The atmosphere was pleasant, with a cozy vibe that added to the experience. For starters, we had garlic bread topped with Parmesan cheese, which was delicious—a real highlight. I ordered the Pasta Alfonso, which was flavorful and light, just right for a lunch portion. My friends, however, had the pasta with crab and weren’t as satisfied with their choice. While I enjoyed my meal, I would have liked salt and pepper on the table or offered alongside the dishes to adjust the flavors to my preference. The staff who served us were friendly, but some seemed a bit tired, and the overall hospitality didn’t quite reach the level of attentiveness we’d hoped for. In the end, while I enjoyed parts of the meal, I’ll likely try another restaurant next time. This spot is decent if you’re looking for a casual Italian meal, but it may not be the best choice if you’re looking for a more polished dining experience.

Ordering through the Domino’s Pizza app is easy and fast. The app is user-friendly, letting you customize your pizza and track your order in real-time. Payment options are convenient, and delivery is usually quick. Overall, it's a hassle-free way to enjoy Domino’s from home.
