The best restaurants serving Italian food in Worthing South East

Rafika has provided us with absolutely incredible food time and time again! We have used le deli for birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and have booked her to cater our wedding. There is no comparison! The flavours are out of this world and everything is made by them! I cannot recommend le deli enough and I highly recommend everything they have to offer! I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The food and the service is out of this world!

Great place with great food. Really good service too.

We went today 30.03.25 and had a table booked for 12:45, we were a little early but wasn’t a problem they still seated us. The service was great and not rushed at all. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect. Everything came out quickly - but not too quickly which was good. Nice decor inside too. The only little thing is that it was such a nice day outside the restaurant was a little hot inside - could’ve done with some aircon / opening a few more doors to let some air in. Would definitely return with no hesitation.

Absolutely love this place, hands down best Gelato in town.Have taken my kids here for years!!Must visit spot in Worthing

The problem with this place is the manager. My friend has Parkinsons disease which makes speech very difficult. She was told by the manager to get out because she was drunk. She only drinks Coke. She was in tears and I gave the manager a piece of my mind. The manager insulted my other friend saying he is too fat, and banned him saying he didn't want him here. He patronises customers, saying that you have to sit here, insulting them by pointing at tables. His pizzas are small thin and inconsequential at an enourmous price, over £20. The manager is stark raving mad, charging up and down the tiny seating area talking to himself and making hand signs. This guy is a bully to his young staff who are amazing in their manners and attentiveness. Many customers complain, but are ignored because that guy is arrogant. there are many pizza places in the area where you will get friendlier and more respectful service.

I don't write reviews that often but had to give this place a shout out. Fantastic tasting food with great service at a price which was really good value for money. You can't ask more than that can you? No wonder the restaurant was rammed when we decided to try it. We literally got the last table which was to be fair, a little small for our family of four but what I thought was really good was that as soon as a larger table became available after a few minutes they moved us at our request. A small detail perhaps but a good example of accommodating and attentive staff. Definitely check this place out, I don't think you will be disappointed

Tasty, authentic food, pleasant atmosphere without being too noisy. Excellent service especially from Northey and Martina, who chatted and made us feel special. Thank you, you're both an asset to this restaurant!

Outstanding authentic food, with wonderful friendly service. This is by far the best Italian food I’ve had. Well worth a visit to anyone that enjoys genuine authentic Italian cooking.

This is one of my favourite places. Staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is always calm and low key, the prices are really reasonable and, most important of all, the pizzas are authentic and delicious

Took my mum here for mother's day. It was really well priced for what you got. Don't usually say this, but I would have paid more for the food. Service was very good as well and the staff were lovely

Saffron was really attentive and friendly, great knowledge on the menu and recommending the wines to use.

Lovely evening having dinner. Had calamari for starters which was lovely and came out so quickly. Then for mains had the Vongole which came out pretty much as soon as they took the starter plates away. Even though it mentioned chilli in the dish, I had this elsewhere before and it wasn’t as spicy. Could have had a few more clams in too. But was lovely. The desert was just so so good. Very warm choc brownie and the ice cream was amazing. Very kind staff. Would go again.

The chef served up a ‘posh’ chicken Kiev, layered with herbs and spices. Very soft chicken, will definitely go back with the reds again

Super food,great quality ingredients and great service .my pizza was delicious the young girl (Kausalya) who took my order was friendly and told me cheaper deals which was easy to choose and she made My order what I expect such a good employee 😉

Absolutely disgusting, vile inedible food that is not fit for human consumption. The Bolognese was a congealed lump that was burnt on the sides. Clearly looked like it had been microwaved for about 3 days. The pizza was drowning in grease, sloppy, disgusting. The ‘mini doughnuts’ quite frankly tasted days old, dry crusty little balls of despair. This place wants shutting down, it is an absolute disgrace to even call it food let alone Italian. I’m sure many Italians would shudder if they knew what dross was being sold as Italian food. This establishment should hang their heads in shame for what they serve as food, I would be ashamed. Do not even consider this place, it should clean up its act first and I’ve seen better meals in hospital wards and we all know how inedible they are !!! How this place has a 5 hygiene rating I’ll never know appalling dreadful disgusting hell hole
