The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

We had an excellent meal in a beautiful restaurant with first class service and some lovely wine. Thoroughly recommend Capriccio and will definitely return when in the area next.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Nice food, nice evening.

We tried this restaurant for the first time at the weekend and are pleased we did. The place has a good atmosphere .The food was very enjoyable and served by very pleasant staff.

This is the second year we chose Pesca Trattoria for our work Christmas Dinner. There were twelve of us, so all the food was pre-ordered, and we had a fun evening with delicious food and attentive service. My chosen dessert, a Tiramisu, was amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Had been recommended this Italian by a local for a family birthday. Greeted warmly by restaurant staff, water on arrival, attentive service. Unfortunately we were next to a table that various suited/booted parents dropped 9 of their free-range charges with a handful of timid 'grown-ups' whilst en route to the Club, I suspect. Food was excellent, the staff was amazing dodging these young teenagers leaving chairs untucked in the staff's wake whilst they slammed toilet doors, daring each other to run in the kitchen and generally getting under people's feet. When they did sit down, volume control was clearly not in their gifts. Thought the restaurant staff did an excellent job at trying to make our meal an enjoyable experience despite the crèche like conditions other diners had developed. Would definitely go back but perhaps on a school night when hopefully these youths are not there. The restaurant was far from a let down but the locals certainly were.

So pleased that we found this little gem in TW. The outside does not do justice to the authentic high quality food this little family restaurant provides. Lovely, friendly owners who are delighted to talk about their food and history. Its very small so probably need to book for dinner. Give it a try.

I was looking forward very much to visiting Little Italy in Sunbury . I was not disappointed I had an excellent cappuccino and a nice piece of lemon tart. The service by Anastasia was very good.

Was taken here by a family member who lives near by.. they love this restaurant. I don’t live in the UK and have access to fresh seafood as I live in the coast in Spain… so unfortunately this restaurant didn’t come close to the fresh seafood I can have at home.. It’s not to say it’s not good, Its just VERY expensive and over priced for what is basically pasta 🍝 the service however was excellent 👌

A delightful, authentic restaurant, serving delicious, fresh pasta. We carb loaded here the night before Brighton marathon, and had a fab takeaway pizza afterwards. Loved the totelloni and the prawn spaghetti. Friendly service. Lovely puddings too.

The food was lovely. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The staff was kind and friendly. La Stella is a highly recommended visit. Thank you for such a lovely time.

This is definitely by far the best Italian restaurant in the area. The food is always exceptional and so Italian! The chef is always attentive and comes out to see the customers regularly to check they are happy. The price is certainly reasonable for the quality of food you get. We will be going back again for our next celebration.

Being local I frequent this place a lot and the food is consistently very good, fresh and tastes great. The owners and staff are so welcoming and it’s great value for money. Definitely worth a visit you will not be disappointed. Recommend to book as very popular.

Had lunch here with three friends on August bank holiday Monday during the Sandwich Festival when the restaurant was fairly busy but not packed. We all ordered pizzas and then waited a very long time noticing that other customers who had arrived later were being served before us. One pizza arrived 25 mins after ordering and we waited another 10 minutes for the other three. All came on disposable plates with flimsy disposable wooden cutlery which proved incapable of sawing through the tough pizza base which had not been pre-cut into segments. After breaking two forks and making no impression on the pizza base with the knife I asked for metal cutlery and was informed that they had none. When I explained the problem and expressed my unhappiness the waiter shrugged his shoulders and wandered off leaving me no option but to tear my pizza into pieces with my bare hands. Thereafter no member of staff paid any attention to us and I had to go to the counter to order desserts and pay the bill. If you insist on eating here I recommend bringing your own cutlery.

Four of us visited for our son’s birthday on a midweek evening and were all hugely impressed by the quality of the food and portion size all washed down with a very gluggable Valpolicella. It was a fairly quiet night and yet four different dishes were delivered piping hot in surprisingly good time and at a very reasonable price. We will definitely visit again to try some of the other food from their appetising menu.

Loved it. Host is funny and welcoming. Food was lovely. Thank you x
