The best restaurants serving Italian food in Crawley South East

Booked an early dinner with a friend prior to an evening at The Hawth Theatre. Fantastic service from the moment we walked in. Delicious, authentic Italian cuisine with a lovely bottle of Pinot! Would thoroughly recommend this little gem of a restaurant in Crawley just over from the High Street.

We came with friends in March, a large booking of 15 for a meal. We arrived promptly at 7.30 but our food didn’t come out until just after 9pm. Whilst I appreciate we were a large group, 9pm isn’t satisfactory. The waiter was lovely and clearly the issue wasn’t with him but I question why they take large bookings if you can’t accommodate a reasonable time frame for serving large parties. If I’m honest I won’t recommend or return. I wanted to feedback as clearly this is something the restaurant needs to review and improve on

Our go to place for the best pizza, even to drive 25 miles. Was recommended to me about 12 years ago and have never looked back. Food is excellent, never had a bad pizza. Staff are always friendly. Highly recommended.

Really nice restaurant when visiting for lunch during half-term. Food was excellent, possibly the best Carbonara I've had. Staff were friendly and service was great.

Awful wait time. Waited over an hour for just dough balls and garlic bread to be brought out, kids meals and adults took another 30 minutes to come out although it was all supposed to come out at the same time! Restaurant wasn’t even busy. Will not be recommending or coming here again. Takeaway uber eats and just eat took priority over customers seated in the restaurant!

Went here on a Sunday evening with some friends great customer service food came out fast and portions are healthy Service charge not included insured we left a reasonable tip service received

Great for a snack with the family 🤗 Free parking at Avalon car park - make sure you enter your reg at the counter ASAP!

lunch today dreadful. so dry panini skimped on tuna and even less garnish to plate and service without so much as a smile. visited this cafe not expecting but hoping for an improvement as in the past food and service has been very poor. Friend served and eaten meal whilst other meal on order either so long in being served or forgotten. Almost empty of customers compared to when previous owners ran establishment .much better value cafe on second floor .

I went there to order food and the workers were very polite and understanding and gave clear instructions about what I wanted for my menu
