The best restaurants serving Italian food in South East

Overall the food was good. But Martin our waiter was excellent!

We are from the states and have been here for 2 weeks on our 30 year anniversary trip thru London and France. Our meal tonight was by far the best meal we’ve had the whole trip!! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent service and great food! It was great to relax and enjoy a wonderful evening to celebrate an 87th birthday with family.

We met my wife's cousin and family for high tea/Diner at the Ask in Horsham. I would suggest that a pizza restaurant is in the very casual places to eat given that most consume pasta or posh cheese on toast which are not what you would call high end catering. We had a nice sized table to accommodate the 6 of us. It was good to see that the younger members can still have crayons and colouring sheets to amuse them before and between the arrival of the food. I remember my pasta being nicely cooked with all the pasta submerged in the sauce, there being nothing worse than hard, dried and slightly charred pasta as part of the eating experience, but this was just right. The younger members chose a starter pizza and ice-cream sundae which was just a step too far for one pair of pelican eyes. The staff were attentive considering the busy status of the restaurant and that it was busier than usual for a saturday evening as Horsham had it's fireworks the same evening we ate out. ASK is one of those idea family eating out venues judging by the numbers of families and small parties that were crowding the restaurant. We enjoyed the casual and relaxed atmosphere and the staff did their bit to smooth and speed things along which is important when younger diners are present.

When I was a teenager,my little sister and I came here for lunch. We ended up having dinner there. We stayed so long that our parents reported us missing. That's how great it was.

A truly excellent venue without door and indoor seating. The indoor restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere with linen tablecloths, napkins and fresh flowers on the tables. It is however very reasonably priced. The food is excellent, with it seems, a Sicilian twist. The service at lunchtime was very prompt and the dessert menu was innovative as well as delicious.

I really would like to give this place 5 stars but the service by one male waiter was so rude. The gent I'm referring to is the older gent of large build with white hair and glasses. He really does need to learn customer skills. I felt rushed by him when I was ordering my dessert. It's not like the place was busy either. There was 8 tables empty around me. On the hole though the food was the best Italian I've experienced in a very long time. Yes I will return but the said waiter needs some help in dealing with the public. Thank you for the food I loved it.

Lovely restaurant - dishes tasty and staff wonderful.😁

We went for a lovely meal here. Plenty of choice. I had 2 delicious starters (funghi and melanzane) and my friend had the broccoli pasta and we finished with a lemon tart that melted in our mouths. The waiter was very attentive and smiley without being OTT. The toilets were clean. Excellent value for money. I would certainly prefer to spend my money in this charming local restaurant with fresh produce than in one of the large chains in the centre. Thank you.

Nice restaurant to take family Staff is very nice.

Wonderful restaurant. Excellent food. Great service and a beautiful ambience. The team clearly know good service can cost very little but is worth a great deal. Food was lovely. The beer selection from Belgium is worth a trip on its own. The wine collection is a great trip around the world.

We had difficulty deciding what to have because it all looked good. Both husband and I settled for pasta, a favourite treat. Both dishes seem to be unique to Villa Bianca and they were delicious.

We were recommended this by the croucher s hotel and when we arrived we're given water then left for 10min before a waitress came over who had already taken an order from people who came in after us, I am a coeliac and when asked for a glutenfree pizza was told they had none so therefore could not eat there very disappointed as then had to find somewhere to eat. Couldn't eat in the hotels restaurant as a wedding was on there.

Really good food and excellent service no need to say anything else definitely recommend will be going back

Vibrant atmosphere, service was spot on and drinks came over quickly! Food was flavoursome and we all cleared our plates! Will definitely be back!
