The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

It might look like a cafe on the outside (if you can find it), but there’s a proper restaurant with a proper kitchen on the inside. A small but varied menu, good portions and tasty. The chef was out among the guests, taking orders and asking if all ok. Well placed confidence. We would definitely return.

Fantastic food. The most friendly and professional staff,and the best atmosphere . There is nowhere like it for value for money and it shows in the number of customers attending

Fui recibido excepcionalmente cálido por los servidores. Cuando entré de un día de enero muy frío. Obviamente es muy popular, ya que estaba bullendo. Un espacio cálido y acogedor abajo. Tomé un delicioso Panini, seguido de un muy buen Capuchino. Recomiendo encarecidamente este café.

Wow the people here are so delightful. We were lucky to find this cafe amongst many others that did not look as inviting. The toasted sandwiches were superb, the rolls equally delicious but best of all were the home made cakes. Bonus- excellent coffee served in beautiful cups and mugs. Wonderful cafe.

i thought the food was very delicious the reason for my review is due to a lovely fellow called charlie who was very kind and made the fries to perfection x

Fab platters of cheese and meats......great wine......great people and service. It's like being in Italy for a few hours. We go often and everytime is magical and enjoyable. Plus fab desserts.

Fab fathers day lunch, brilliant value for money and delicious food. Our girls loved it, and lovely staff. Thank you

Free Pizza while working the Elections… thank you Nigel for your generosity! Pepperoni pizza was delicious and highly recommended the spicy honey!

Omg a real jewel! Fantastic atmosphere and the food will make you want to sing. I love it that the menu changes, so next time you go there, they may have something new and different

We visited Veeno today for lunch. We had the best meal and we’ll certainly be back. I can’t believe we haven’t discovered this gem before. We had garlic bread and pizza, both of which were the best we’ve ever tasted. They came with olive oil and balsamic dip which was gorgeous. They also gave us some truffle oil to dip the pizza crusts in which was soooo good and different. They had a huge selection of wines and their house red was delicious. I had to have a second glass 😋. Can’t wait to return to try more of their menu. Thank you for a fanatic relaxing lunch x

A group of us went to Clava on a wet Saturday afternoon an enjoyed the tasting menu. Only one word comes to mind to describe it "superb" There was nothing that was put in front of us that everyone didn't devour! I especially liked the venison ragu with fettuccini. The lunch was a culinary delight and we will be making a return visit in the new year.

Por favor apoye este increíble negocio local. Me encanta una buena pizza y estas son las mejores que he probado. El personal es encantador también y siempre están encantados de personalizar ligeramente mi pizza debido a los requisitos dietéticos. Gran lugar, inténtalo.

Fabulous Breakfast. Sam & Josie very friendly and bubbly. Good start to the day for my Daughters 40th Birthday. Thank you X

Friendly owner and staff. Clean place. Had sandwich from display case and they heated it up for us. We sat and ate outside.

We found Carlos during Covid - and the warm welcome - the amazing coffee and most importantly the incredible people mean we go back time after time. Alex, Ross and Natalie are great. They even look after our dogs so well and have always made us so welcome. The homemade pannini and the Arrancini balls are to die for and the general fresh Italian produce is a must if you’re cooking at home .. they also can recommend an excellent wine from the extensive offering. We love this place and it’s become a go too and will remain that way. Best coffee and welcome in the area.
