The best restaurants serving Italian food in England

One of the best Lasagne I have had and at a reasonable cost

Went with wife today as usual it was superb...its our go to place...have tried almost everything on the menu over the last few years ....accept the pizzas and that's only because I like to try the authentic Italian dishes....my relatives have had the pizza though...and they love it. The special starter of the day was meatballs ....absolutely the best meatballs ive ever had.wish I hadn't of had the lasagne [ it was stunning also ] but I was so stuffed ...I came home and fell asleep. As usual the staff were 1st class...excellent place. We will be back next month.

Ordered a birthday cake online at relatively short notice. All ready on time. Absolutely beautiful cake that tastes amazing! Lovely guy in the shop too. Thank you so much

Tastiest pasta I've had in ages! Had the pizza the next day, was fluffy, light, perfectly flavoured and priced well. All staff have a smile and cook with love.

Visited with friends and ordered a pesto and olive Pizza, it was lovely, but also had sundried tomatoes and capers on it which I was not expecting! Would be great if all the ingredients that are going to be on the pizza were listed? Could do with some salads on the menu and a bit mire variety, otyerwise a lovely and friendly place to visit.

Would highly recommend visiting!

Under new owners.. Italian food..Food highly priced.. had the sea bass for£21 pound. Small portion of fish(the tail end and so small and thin) didn't even resemble bass . Spoonful of mixed salad. And a ball of mozzarella on my plate. 3items in total. Side portion of chips for£4. Dearest fish and chips ever and was still hungry.. If you get pasta dish you will get plenty.

Absolutely lovely food! Very fresh and delicious dishes. Would highly recommend. And the staff were very friendly

We had a brilliant lunch here today. The food was all delicious - far better than a lot of meals we’ve had in Italy. The namesake Poco pasta was particularly good. Some lovely local Sussex sparkling wine. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. We had our 5 month baby with us which doesn’t usually get you the warmest reception but they were very hospitable. Would highly recommend!

I popped in there tonight and have to say how impressed I was with the quality of the food. For a starter, I had calamari fritti which was made with fresh calamari (none of the ‘elastic bands’ that you so often come across). For the main course I had seafood linguine, which had mussels, prawns, tiger prawn and squid. The pasta was cooked to perfection and Stefany, who is front of house, explained that it was cooked to order so does not sit around waiting to be served. The menu is limited but I think the quality is superb and I’ll certainly be back but next time take a group of friends!

Staff were very polite and friendly. Homemade chips, really were homemade and tasty. Pizzas were very good value for money and I would recommend Girasole. Good to support local trader too.

A gaggle of dishevelled but quite charming Gen Zs knocking out slightly above average pizza

Great deal. Went for the 2 course Sunday special. Great deal. Brilliant food and service highly recommend

If you like pizza then you're in for a pleasant surprise

Lunch with a friend today. Menu has changed and is amazing! Much more choice and presented so well. Chose tomatoes on sourdough bread with two poached eggs. It came with houmous and pesto dressing, basil and a salad. It was delicious. Staff are friendly and helpful.
