The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Lovely little café resto with friendly staff

Have passed Castellum many many times as I live in Whitstable, sad to say last night Friday 15th was the first time that I stepped through the front door. Was out with my Wife and Daughter thought we would give Castellum a go. Absolutely loved it, pizza were amazing so authentic. Staff excellent ,restaurant had a really friendly lively buzz about it. Totally recommend this Pizzeria. Will be back.

Nice food, nice atmosphere, nice staff. An enjoyable visit, thank you.

Absolutely delicious coffee, a nice calm atmosphere and friendly service.

Visited with friends and ordered a pesto and olive Pizza, it was lovely, but also had sundried tomatoes and capers on it which I was not expecting! Would be great if all the ingredients that are going to be on the pizza were listed? Could do with some salads on the menu and a bit more variety, otherwise a lovely and friendly place to visit.

Great Sicilian food with an authentic Italian atmosphere.

This is a wonderful restaurant. The food was fantastic and the service absolutely brilliant. We were made to feel so welcome and looked after and the staff clearly have passion for what they do and the food they serve. There’s an incredible wine selection, local ingredients, a lovely atmosphere and it’s even dog friendly. I’ve already recommended it to family and I would love to go back.

After reading rave reviews from when they opened I was really looking forward to trying out new local Italian. Food tasted microwaved and rubbery. Food wasn’t freshly made. Won’t be returning

It was excellent, The service was friendly, quick and efficient ,great food portions are really generous! The place is welcoming, Many thanks

Amazing coffee and Banbury cakes, service with a smile sold out of an amazing van! Well worth a visit!

Great family meal today, delicious food, warm friendly staff.

We’d had a busy afternoon so didn’t feel like cooking, had always wanted to go in every time I drove past. Well worth stopping on a cold, wet night. Warm, cosy little restaurant and a friendly welcome. Delicious home cooked cipolla with red onions and balsamic. I had linguine mediterranea - piping hot and tasty; my husband chose tagliatelle tartufa, again very enjoyable. Could work our way through the menu of pasta, pizza and tagines. Great place, thank you.

This restaurant has been a big part of my childhood, creating great memories and serving delicious food. The flavor is unlike any other.

Always a fantastic meal and excellent service. Generous portions and authentic Italian food. We are regular visitors and always enjoy our evening.

Always enjoy every time I go there with friends.
