The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

0**Review of Rossi's Italian Restaurant in Eastbourne:** Rossi's is a small, charming Italian restaurant in Eastbourne that truly captures the warmth and authenticity of Italy. The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The service is attentive, with staff who make you feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout your visit. The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the mixed fried fish, which is simply delicious. Crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, it is a dish that stands out and is highly recommended. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, Rossi's delivers a delightful dining experience that is well worth a visit.

La Foglia is one of my top three restaurants in the Banbury area. I have eaten there dozens of times - and why? - because the food is just so, so good. The waiters know me and, at the late end of the evening, when the chef comes out to have his own dinner, I have called out to him and given him a round of applause. This is the closest thing I have found to Rome - where it is impossible to have a bad meal. Treat yourself! (and by the by, the house Montepulciano is very nice.)

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 had Cannelloni and spaghetti bolognese, and it was so delicious! Thanks for the lovely service as well

Outstanding service as always, good food, nice delivery driver!

Been eating here/from here for many years. Best pizza anywhere. Great staff over many years. Friendly owner. Consistently good. Lamb chops perfect (I know 🤷‍♂️)

We had the most amazing dinner here on recommendation from friends so glad we went! The restaurant is very romantic in the evening and feels very cozy! Oh my word the food is out of this world.

Fabulous food, excellent service and a great ambience. Our first visit, but we will definitely be coming again. Thanks to all the staff.

First visit and will be returning. Warm welcome from the host on arrival. Starters & Mains were awesome. Served by Callum who was fantastic all night. Thank you guys!

Lovely food, nice pub. Limited on drinks - only bitter was IPA, only rose fizz, no light ale

really nice small family run Italian place with good pizza and pasta dishes. it is a friendly restaurant and the service is good. it is better than some of the chain restaurants in town.

We have been coming to this restaurant for several years now and once again all three courses were excellent. Although the restaurant was very busy the service was friendly and efficient as usual. We’ll be back again soon!

Where do I start… decor and atmosphere, nice feel to the restaurant, staff were great and very attentive! food wasn’t amazing, came out suspiciously fast! microwaved pasta, bland carbonara, definitely not authentic italian food, toilets were dirty! not a great experience, expensive for what it is

Super early dinner, good service quick yummy food. tortellini filled will meat, sausage linguine and a Calzone pizza Finished with banoffee pie

Didn’t even realise this lovely little restaurant was there and I’ve lived in Tonbridge for years, I definitely know it is there now and will be back. The welcome we received, the service, the food and the atmosphere were all top notch and it was such a fun evening. Topped off by Limoncello, need I say more?!!! Cannot recommend highly enough!
