The best restaurants serving Italian food in Mid Sussex South East

Stayed in hotel before flight, the service at the restaurant was really good, fast and efficient, and the food turnover was fast, good choice of drinks. Prices were OK for area, but was disappointed that they included service charge, without letting us know. We usually give depending on service.

We had low expectations of this place (it's attached to a goods warehouse) but wow, were we wrong. It's owned and run by an Italian who cooks fabulous food. We had a wonderful lunch - the home made burger and vegetarian pasta were particular highlights - and the tiramisu for dessert was delicious, too. All for a very low price. We will be back!

We stumbled upon this place today on a drive around Sussex. Greeted by very friendly owners and staff and a very lovely resident dog. The food (roast) was delicious and highly recommend. The toilets were probably the best ones I’ve seen in any pub ever, it was 5 star hotel quality x welcoming atmosphere from locals and great outdoor space. Will definitely be visiting again. Thanks

Fantastic service and great food

Best pizza going no doubt I never even consider the big chain places anymore 5 star pizza. However the website is SO awful to use I honestly can’t remember the last time I used such a user unfriendly process.

I had the carbonara and it is one of the best I have tasted. Pizza was also good according to the wifey. Lovely little place and easily one of the best locally and has a real small Italian restaurant atmosphere. Good size portions too.

We booked a table for early Saturday evening. The restaurant was very busy when we arrived. The service was very poor throughout the evening. They had plenty of waiting staff - at least 5 that I saw. But they were very disorganised, and we were overlooked for most of the evening. We were initially asked if we wanted drinks, but after this we were never asked again for the rest of the meal, and no one at any point asked if we were happy with any of the food. Our drinks and starters were served relatively quickly. I had the calamari but the coating was very crunchy and not very nice. We both had pizza for our mains - I think they must have gone to Italy to get the ingredients. It took aeons to arrive, and only after we managed to flag down a waitress to ask what on earth was going on. She said it was on its way and that she had spoken to the kitchen, but it was very apparent that they had simply forgotten our order, given that people on a table next to us who had arrived long after we did, got their pizza within 10 minutes. By the time we started our pizza, most of the other guests who had been there around the same time as us were on their desserts. There was no apology for the delay. I left over half of my pizza as the base was really chewy, and I was struggling to cut it, as was my partner. It seemed the more it cooled, the harder it was to cut through it. I am not exaggerating when I say that my wrists were aching in the end, which is why I gave up on eating it. I don't expect to get repetitive strain injury when coming out for a meal. We didn't bother with dessert after this. I also noted that an Italian sounding gentleman (I don't know if he is the owner) went from table to table throughout the course of the evening, chatting to guests, and making sure that everyone was happy with their food. Not once did he come over to us, or even look in our direction. They also had the cheek to add a 10% service charge to the meal which was not optional. I will not be returning after experiencing their shambolic and poor service, and the chewy pizza.

Attended a friends birthday at Roccos on Saturday night. Nice setting and a lovely welcome from the staff; cocktail menu was good, something to please everyone and appropriately priced. We preordered our food due to the size of the party and I must admit it took me a while to choose as it all sounded so tasty!! In the end I opted for the beef carpaccio as starter which was delicious followed by a pasta dish (paccheri ossolani) which was also very tasty. Would happily go back and try some other yummy options from the menu. Thanks for a fab evening.

We had a family dinner here for 15 and everything about it was excellent. The food was served promptly and was perfect, it was a fun and very relaxed evening. The singer was a surprise but he was amazing and made the evening even more special..

The food was tasty and freshly prepared but I didn’t feel it was value for money. Prices seem very high unless you have a special offer voucher. It was also very off putting having waitresses with very long nails serving our food to us. Doesn’t feel particularly hygienic. They were very short staffed. Not sure we’ll be rushing back.

A pleasant simple lunch with friends. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Restaurant was clean and bright, though the music was a bit loud. Pizzas were excellent. Would go again .

I DIDN'T even Get chance to Even get my Pizza The Person Who TRIED to take my Order KEPT getting my Card Details Wrong !!! So I GAVE Up sadly you could tell that English wasn't his first language ! I Don't think I'm going to BOTHER Ordering From There AGAIN !!
