Best ITALIAN Restaurant of BN1/2/3shire

[Safeway]

I have always liked La Piazza, lovely food and good service.

Me too, though a lot of people seem to think it's shite.

You do get a RIDICULOUS amount of Whitebait on the starter.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

La Cappianina (is it still going?)

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I've just had a very nice meal at Maroccos. It's the first day of my vacation, so I treated myself to a very nice seafood spaghetti, and a pint of Perronni. The young sultry Spanish girl with the nose ring was not serving today, but the eastern european Zoe Ball looky-likey was.

Marocco's is great, proper nice food.

And the eastern European give you LOADS of ice cream.

Indeed, but I like the determined, strained look on the Spanish girl's face as she struggles to dig me out a scoop of chocolate chip.

Never had a bad meal from Otello in Hove.

That'll be one of the flavours for which they have to lean furthest forward?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

not cheap but also not too expensive.

Would you say it's medium priced?

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Always found Strada and Ask provide a decent meal.,also they often have vouchers on-line for 2 for 1 offers.

 

[DanielT]

Would you say it's medium priced?

Yeah! I do tend to use more words than necessary to explain a simple detail, often going off in elaborate and lengthy tangents, eventually to return to the main point, often hours later...

but, Yes, I would say its medium priced!

Another vote for La Capannina.

I should know. I'm quarter Italian.

(I don't actually know, but La Capannina is very nice!)

"The Hut"? Wonder if that's trademarked!

I am 1/2 Italian, do I know twice as much as you? ;-)

 

[Sergei Gotsmanov]

It has to be Casalingo's. Proper nice grub. Good service. Never been disappointed.

Disagree about food in Italy. Found it quite basic and missing a lot of the flavours we are used to.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What is this food outlet called "Italy"?

Do they eat the same stuff in Naples as they do in Milan? Do they cook in Bologna like they cook in Bari?

Real Italian food is full of regional and local variety. That's what is missing from most Italian restaurants in England.

Whilst Mr B is being a smart arse, he's right on the money, I don't think I've ever been to an Italian where regional variations and specialities are available.

Most if not all serve up standard, but mostly tasty, generic pasta and pizza dishes and usually something with chicken in it as a 'speciale'.

You're right. It's probably because the silly billys are putting sustainability and profits above authenticity. Maybe they could get a grant

Holiday NOT Vacation.

Casalingos was the final choice and will be eaten at tomorrow*....
