The best restaurants serving Italian food in Crawley South East

Wow - all freshly made food. Great for our allergy diners. We could all find something very substantial to eat. Enjoyed starters of bruschetta, mini arancini, and garlic bread. Lasagna, risotto,and mushroom tagliatelle yummy. Desserts of ice cream, panna cotta, and tiramisu were excellent. Our waitress and waiter were so helpful and engaging. They made the meal so enjoyable. The restaurant staff answered the phone and answered all our questions before. Restaurant and facilities were clean and up to date. Well lit and easy to get around- always a good sign in a restaurant. Another patron was a regular when he was in the area. Highly recommend this restaurant- only issue was finding parking. We lucked out and found a spot on high street. Would have been worth a walk from wherever it was so good.

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

Wanted to collect my order on the way home from work. Website says enter details in notes section if you want to delay your collection. I called on my way home to be told the order was ready. I was still 45 minutes away! Website says they take Amex, but they don't. I could never fault the pizza but was so disappointed with my soggy luke warm one by the time I got home. Perhaps gesture of good will?

It's a standard Italian style restaurant. Great offers on kids food and adults also. I like the style or decor the place has to offer. The only thing I can say that would be the downfall is going on a term day when kids eat free as it becomes very busy and very quickly which slows the whole process. I will say on these days the staff have it harder than most but will be very attentive still.

The menu changes frequently which is good, but it it is now turning into a pizza & pasta restaurant. Starters were disappointing, bruschetta was pizza dough with 3 sliced cold tomatoes & a spoonful of green pesto, balsamic garlic bread was also pizza dough. Rip off at £7.50 each! small bottle of pepsi £3.75 each! I'm glad I had a 2 for 1 voucher! Don't think I'll be going back...to much pizza dough.

I’ve tried many dessert places, but this one truly stands out for its generous portions and fresh ingredients.”

Paid nearly £10 for a prawn mayo jacket potato and my daughter had tuna, there was no butter inside the potato and none offered and no side salad, the staff all looked like they were chewing wasps, no hellos just grunts, we won't be eating here again, the food was dry and taste less

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
