The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Carlo made it an unforgettable birthday party for a family of 11. Now our favourite restaurant for all opportunities we'll done to all the staff

This is a great restaurant with lovely food and attentive happy staff. I had my daughter’s birthday celebration here. There were 25 of us and all the food came out together, piping hot and delicious. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be back. Thank you M2!

I love these guys, they are amazing people and the coffee there is very good quality! ❤️

Tasty food and very pleasant service. We highly recommend... Thank you and we wish you many more satisfied customers. NL-SK family. 😀👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

We have been 4 times recently and have been so well looked after. We have really enjoyed each meal we've had. The prices of food and drink are very acceptable.

We shared a bottle of wine. We both had pizza. Probably the best pizza I have ever had. Very friendly staff and good food and wine at a good price. Highly recommended when in the area. Have told my friends about it.

Really enjoyed my breakfast at Macchiato, friendly accommodating staff , super quick service and lovely food. Great coffee too.

6 of us for a meal and it was excellent. Food was fresh tasted lovely and arrived together and quickly. Staff were very friendly and professional . We will be returning. Thankyou for a fantastic experience.

ottimo posto dove gustare un buon gelato (detto da italiana). oltre al fatto che il gelato è buono, è buono anche il rapporto qualità/prezzo e soprattutto quantità/prezzo, perché è vero si paga più che in italia (5£ per 2 gusti) ma la quantità di gelato che ti danno è molto alta, mi ha decisamente saziato. molto meglio questa gelateria che “gelato gusto” sempre a brighton, dove il gelato costa di più, è meno buono e te ne danno di meno. super consigliata

Our friends had booked this place 3 weeks before our visit as they had gone there quite a few times, well on arrival we were concerned, went to the bar to check in only to be ignored! We looked at each other with concern, then eventually they abruptly asked if we had a reservation which we confirmed, we were then lead to to forgotten table which was in a little area next to the toilet, front door, constantly ringing takeaway phone, which was never answered and not even in the main restaurant! More looks of concern and a common of “we are going to be forgotten here” well how true that was, after 10 to 15mins waiting for a menu or drinks to be ordered eventually a server came complaining how busy they were and asked if we had been given menus, no came the answer and off she went, when she came back with the menu she the disappeared saying she would be back to take drinks order, why she couldn’t take them then I don’t know, 10-15 mins later she came back to take our drinks order, we were also ready to order our food but she just ignored us and off she went, eventually got our drinks and managed to order food, all the while trying to have a conversation with the front door banging shut the constant stream of people using the toilet and the hand drier going off and that damn takeaway phone! After a long wait we eventually got our food, nothing to write home about, my penne chicken in spinach was bland with chicken that was cooked fresh in little strips, my wife only got two little pieces of chicken in her pasta! Eventually they came back to clear the plates that had been on the table for some time and asked if we want the dessert menu, after sitting an age we gave up the will to live and getting any dessert so decided to pay and leave! Oh and the latte with no coffee taste tipped it off lol, won’t be coming back poor food , extremely poor service and a wasted night.

Booked for a Saturday lunchtime and had a great time. Food was beautiful and plenty of it. Good choice of wine available. Reasonable prices too. Will visit again soon.

First visit to celebrate daughter’s Birthday. Staff really welcoming and helpful with the menu. The food was fabulous. Four of us had starters and mains all amazing but the highlights were the hake and the prawn & crayfish pansotti. Loved it here, will be back.

Amazing food and service. My mum and I visited the Isle of Wight and I had read that this restaurant served gluten free food. We didn’t see that they had decided to close for lunch that day so I was so so disappointed as I had driven there for that reason. They decided to serve just my mum and me so we had the whole restaurant for ourselves, it was just the kindest thing and so so appreciated. The food was amazing. What a incredible service just truly grateful. Best place to eat.

We ordered a takeaway from here on Saturday night. Margaretta and a seafood one. Both were cooked to perfection and we had garlic bread as well, which perhaps was a little dry. The staff were friendly and the restsurant clean. Added bonus it has a gin bar opposite and thats where we waited for them. We would go back.

Took a friend visiting from Dorset and she was very impressed with great food and excellent staff! I can throughly recommend the excellent Rum Baba!
