   I cannot fault the food, the quality was excellent and all of the dishes were very tasty. We were originally sat at a round table for 4 but they tried to put 5 of us at. The staff did move us to another table table for 4 with one of us on the end. It just felt a bit like they tried to squash too many people into the restaurant. We will be back but just a table of 2 though.

   The food and atmosphere was all excellent. The biggest problem was the background music was too loud so the volume of people speaking got louder. Could do with the background music level being dropped a little when the restaurant is full. Will not stop me going again though.

   We were very much looking forward to our first visit since your relaunch and were welcomed and seated at a table of our choice. Your staff were friendly and orders for drinks taken nice and quickly, the bottle of Malbec was good, but sadly the limoncello spritz were lacking in flavour and not very nice at all. However my next cocktail, a gin based one was delicious, as was my friends mocktail margarita. Our starters were fairly good, the arancini was enjoyed as were the meatballs, however the calamari was the smallest portion we’ve ever seen, and certainly wasn’t the plentiful plateful shown on your socials the same evening! It was less than half the portion your pictured! Then the wait started for our mains, we waited and waited, for an hour and 40 mins we waited from our starters plates being cleared. We were apologised to for the delay but it was clear we had been forgotten, and there seemed no urgency to rectify. My husband hadn’t had a starter so he was so hungry. Our dishes u arrived and were ok, the pollo Milanese a little burnt, the lasagne lacking in beef brisket and it wasn’t the hearty comfort food you expect from a lasagne, and also a very small portion of wilted spinach (unlike the portion at the next table which was huge in comparison), the pork belly was enjoyed but also a small portion. We had two desserts which were generous potions and pleasant enough. At the end of the evening we were offered a limoncello shot each, one of us was driving so couldn’t accept, this was your only apology for the delay. However, the service charge was still applied, which as a gesture of goodwill for the oversight and very long wait (especially as we didn’t complain or make a fuss) should have been removed. We only paid it because we felt sorry for the lovely waitress who kept apologising. Such a shame as we really had high hopes for Worthing’s newest Italian.

   This has been one of our favourite restaurants for many years and we travel a considerable distance to dine here. Sadly, today was disappointing, the food was delicious but the service was uncharacteristically poor. After our main course we decided to have dessert as it is a “special” birthday for me. After waiting for over half an hour to be offered a dessert menu we gave up and asked for the bill.

   The newly renovated restaurant is gorgeous! The atmosphere was so inviting and warm whilst the service remaining to their high standards. The staff were very attentive without being overbearing and the new menu is delicious! This restaurant is a gem that has truly reinvented itself with a focus on quality, service, and atmosphere! Can’t wait to return

   The best Italian dining experience we’ve had! Feels like you’re dining in the heart of Italy with incredible food and service. Will be returning 100%! Thanks to Jamie and all the staff for making every visit special! (still can’t get over how dreamy the food is!)

   Such a relaxed atmosphere and very attentive staff made our dining experience so special. Great service all round. The newly refurbished restaurant felt fresh and welcoming.

    Love the new decor and vibe. Music is as good but needs to be slightly lower. Menu was small but good variety and choices Olives and cheese cake were the standouts ! We tried three different pastas between us and all were tasty Over all really good place to go and will be back
