The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Great pizza served quickly and hot..very helpful and friendly staff..Been 3 times now and always perfect..would like a few more mushrooms maybe..😉

Having not been well for a while we remembered what great food we had at Galeleos So after an absence of 2 years we revisited for my first evening outing in a long time and it was great, food great, atmosphere and service. Hopefully this will again be a regular destination really is a hidden gem

I had never been here before A friend and her Daughter had So decided to go for Sunday lunch They had lamb I had beef. Well presented excellent food Loved the sweet as well

Last week we visited Panormus Pizzeria on Albert Road. I'd never heard of this place before so was keen to try it out as pizza is one of my favourite things to eat. I'm not joking when I say this place absolutely blows your standard pizza places out of the water, the quality of the pizzas are next level and I can confidently say that this is the best pizza I've ever had in my entire life 🤯 now that is a bold statement coming from me as I've tried pizza in a lot of different places (including Rome in Italy!) but this pizza honestly hit different 👏 The first thing I did when I got home was look them up on Just Eat to make sure they deliver to my house as this is 100% my go to pizza place from now on. We had... 🍕 Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread 🍕 Genovese Pizza (pesto & cherry tomatoes) 🍕 BBQ Chicken Pizza 🍕 Parmesan Fries 🍕 Rocket Salad with Burrata Cheese 🍕 Homemade Tiramisu The cheesy garlic bread was the perfect starter as it was fully loaded with cheese & full of flavour. The parmesan fries were hot, crispy and salty and the rocket salad was fresh and crisp. I'd not tried burrata cheese before but will definitely be having it again as it was creamy & delicious. The pizzas were absolutely perfect, the owner and chef, Vincenzo, was born in Naples in Italy and his slogan of "made the Italian way" really shines through. The hand stretched dough was golden and crispy and the toppings were generous. The tiramisu was absolutely gorgeous, you can really tell its homemade and not just out of a packet. The prices here are so reasonable too, especially given the quality of the food. So next time you fancy pizza forget about the chain stores and head to/order from Panormus Pizza I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

Unfortunately, Bacaro got it all wrong for our visit. The place was quiet when we entered with only 2-3 tables occupied by couples. An initial comment was made by one of our party, I am paraphrasing here, "It can't be very good if it's this quiet on a Saturday night!", which was subsequently proven correct. We were seated and a drinks order taken, with some ambiguity surrounding whether or not we could order certain drinks. Nevertheless, the waitress returned with our ordered drinks and took our food order. One member of our party chose to have 2 starters for her main, which we requested be brought with the rest of the meals, they were not. Giving the benefit of the doubt, we waited for the rest of the mains to arrive, all pizzas, which seem to take an inordinate amount of time to prepare and cook, given that there were not many people in the restaurant at the time. As a side note at this point, two further couples had come and gone, before we had received our mains! With all of this set aside, a good meal can make up for the poor service, however, that was not to be the case. The food quality was very poor, making it seem like this was the first time the chef had attempted to make pizzas. Tasteless and doughy! It really was a poor effort all round. The whole experience was compounded by the negative, dismissive and quite frankly rude, response to our complaints, by the owner/head chef. It was amateur at very best and not a experience that I will partake in again. Many better restaurants down the Cowley Road to visit.

Really good food and really nice staff who work very well. I really enjoyed my experience and I would definitely recommend it.

El grupo de nosotros (estudiantes) apreciado principalmente el precio de la comida. Sin embargo, las hamburguesas eran normales. Para la próxima vez que iría a otro restaurante de hamburguesas en Brighton. Sin embargo, el personal era muy amable.

Hi so I was invited to my friends birthday on the 7th October was a 18th birthday party. My friend and his twin payed for 50 pizzas which were £400 and and that’s a lot of money to waste and the owner said they will not give a refund because he was adamant that there was 50 and said to my mate we can’t see the cameras. Truth to be told I did not drink and there was definitely not 50 there was no more then 20. Service was bad the staff that were running the bar were 17 and really undertrained and it was a busy capacity I was waiting 20 minutes for a drink. Truth to be told the pizzas were nice but there wasn’t enough. Also another problem why we think that the owner didn’t make all the pizzas my friend had a catering service there that made food at the same time. Sorry this is so long but the last problem was I brought my friend a £76 bottle of champagne and I knew he got a few more bottles to he asked the people behind the bar to look after them and he insisted they would he asked them if they were sure and they really insisted they got took to. So it wasn’t a good night and we are all fuming 😤

Lovely Italian cafe / bistro. Food is fabulous & the service is very friendly yet professional… I would recommend for dinner or lunch or even a coffee

Good, tasty portions. However, we needed to ask for our meal to be reheated as it was lukewarm when served. After that, it was a delicious, home made like meal. I ordered chicken which was quite grilled outside but pink and red at places inside, so I just took that home and fried it. One of the men in there said nothing when we walked in, the other guy was friendly. One more thing to improve is the ventillation, it gets smokey, as there is an open kitchen.

Me and husband had the dragon burger and spicy chicken burger with chips Was so yummy and the oreo milkshake is amazing 😁😁🔥🔥

Absolutely brilliant - when Boris and COVID put pay to our wedding reception, in stepped Danny and his team. Not only was the food super, nothing was too much trouble and Danny himself made sure we were made to feel special. I can’t praise these guys high enough - a massive thank you and we look forward to using you again.

After cycling around the vale we ending up in ignore. Had a meal at the surf shack. Very good food good prices

Thought I would try their pizzas since i like a pizza closed and was impressed. The pizza was hot and had plenty of topping, was delivered quickly and price was comparable with previous place. Desserts sound interesting and a cut above some on offer elsewhere.
