The best restaurants serving Italian food in Arundel Arun South East

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.
