The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Stopped for a snack and coffee. Staff helpful but food offering limited in the "to go" section. Sandwiches not to my liking so just had a coffee, wife and son had a sandwich which was okay and for such a location reasonably priced. There is a restaurant attached but does not allow dogs. If they did allow dogs instead of the £21 spent would have happily and easily spent over £50. I appreciate that company/council policy's make the no dogs policy but I would suggest that the area outside between the patio doors and barrier have ample space for 4 or 5 tables and would prove your turnover.

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..😉

We have visited Roots on a regular basis since we moved to Horsell three and a half years ago. We have always had excellent food and service, so we were sorry to discover that they are closing due to a huge increase in rates. We shall miss our visits and the delicious food.

I spent hundreds of pounds in this overpriced cafe and then I got baited into an autism meltdown by the bullies from the mental health place next door who I had argued with over politics, then a Certain Person influenced his mate the cafe manager to ban me and of course I was never told I was banned and the next day I got the police called on me like a criminal. Lovely. If my friend hadn't been there to defuse things with the unpleasantly aggressive policeman it would have been very nasty indeed. I never swore like That Person said on the cafe property. The said person who has a grudge against me for standing up to his bullying got me banned on purpose as he is mates with the manager. My only crime is being very upset and hurt by being bullied and being autistic and very vulnerable. Did you guys not hear how I was sobbing in the toilet that day? Sorry to be a vulnerable bullied traumatised autist but you ban me like a criminal by all means. Would have appreciated being actually told so I didn't get the police called on me I mean wtf I now am even more isolated from my friends. Stupid cafe is horribly overpriced anyway. I have been in the park loads of time and sat near the cafe and I've caused no trouble nor would I ever! I am not a bad person and I didn't deserve to be banned! I was coming in for nearly two years and I never got upset until those bullies provoked me to try and defend myself in my incomptent kak handed autistic way. You and they have done me a very great injustice.

The welcome was first rate. I’m guessing that there was a little problem with staff communication. The young lady who served our drinks was struggling, as some of our party had to wait some time. The food came out at roughly the same time. We were a party of 21. Food. The mixed grill. You couldn’t fault the amount of mixed meats. Lamb and beef, I asked for rare and was told that it couldn’t be done as the meats were cooked in a “package”. The meats came out universally “well done. It seemed to me that they were fairly new to the business and training new staff at the same time. My wife and I, intending returning as a couple next year. Given the amount of effort they’re putting in, I hope they succeed.

We went to our new local for lunch on Saturday and had a very warm welcome as well as very tasty food. We will definitely be returning very soon. Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with my meal at pitchers on the 25/09/2018. I had Ribeye steak cooked medium rare, it was tender with lots of flavour. I had a side portion of chips and salad with Mayo and ketchup. The food is very well priced and would recommend for anyone wanting to try out something new try pitchers. The staff are welcoming.

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

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.

This is a very casual restaurant serving authentic Italian food, good quality starters, and fresh dough pizzas, prices are very reasonable & staff are friendly, we will return.

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

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 😤

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.

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

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