“Really lovely little place. Very cosy and authentic Italian. Food was absolutely amazing, kids portions were very generous, lasagne was also incredible and the service was prompt and all staff were very polite and attentive. Would 100% return and recommend to anyone looking for a real Italian meal.”

“It is very delicious pizza and friendly service☺️”

“Oh my word - we popped in last night before the cinema for a bite to eat and wow wow wow. It was so delicious! We shared mushroom and truffle arancini balls which were so so tasty, as well as Sicilian hot dogs and cheesy chips. We also had a sweet treat each after - I hade a pistachio sfogliatelle and my hubby had a white chocolate puff and the whole lot was just absolutely delicious! We will be gong back asap! It was also lovely to sit just outside in the beautiful evening sunshine!”

“Three of us had lunch here last Thursday. This is a local Italian restaurant that is far superior to most Italian restaurants. The food was cooked in front of us with fresh ingredients. It was far nicer than most Italian restaurants and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and the service was very good. We will definitely return and highly recommend it.”

“Amazing family run Italian restaurant!! My boyfriend and I happened to stumble across this restaurant this evening and we were extremely impressed- from the service, to the atmosphere, to the food it was 5* all the way through. We were both made very comfortable upon arrival and noticed that our lovely waiter made extra effort to make note of our names and to make sure we were all okay throughout our meal, something I have not received at a bigger restaurant chain. It really did feel like we were treated like we were members of this family! As for the service, it was very quick and the presentation of the food at mamma Mia’s is PHENOMENAL! I had a beautiful sea food risotto which I will whole heartedly say was the BEST risotto I’ve ever had. From the flavourful sauce to the fresh mussels it was perfect! My boyfriend also enjoyed his chicken pizza and commented that he has never experienced a pizza like the one at mamma Mia’s. I had the panna cotta for dessert and the food just keeps on getting better, it was so creamy and the sauce tasted amazing! I highly recommend mamma mia’s if you want an authentic, cozy and welcoming Italian restaurant. We will definitely be returning and I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!! Thank you to this beautiful family for their incredible hospitality and talent :)”

“Tasty food and great service. I loved my pistachio dessert!! I was instantly in Italy and the terrace is lovely on sunny days! Thanks Ruby”

“Love this local gem. Dropped in this evening after a long day of cooking roasts ourself. New menu item was deep fried olives with a tangy dipping sauce. I could have eaten a whole plate. Pizzas fresh and tasty and burrata the perfect accompaniment Harvey our server was friendly and welcoming just adding to a lovely experience as always. Highly recommend”

“We loved this restaurant. Bruschetta to start, salmon with brandy and artichoke cream sauce, seafood risotto. Shared a banoffee pie and finished with coffee. Service great, music just right. Look forward to visiting again. Really easy paid car park at the rear £1.70 for 2 hours. Beware steps to reach the restaurant. £73 including tip.”

“Excellent meal. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food. Friendly Staff. Worth a visit. Recommend”

“Visited this restaurant on Saturday to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The service is absolutely first class, so attentive, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Food was amazing and had a great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning soon. Thank you for making our evening so enjoyable”

“Just had a fantastic meal at Gino's. The food was the absolute best quality on every course - really great tasting (the garlic mushrooms are a must have). The service was great too and the restaurant has a lovely feel to it with some old time classics playing in the background. A lovely place to spend an evening - thank you.”

“If i could give service 10* I would. I've been 5 times over the years and the manager is just the nicest man you'll ever meet. Really passionate about his job and has this Italian charm about him. The food of course is exceptional with each pizza becoming more difficult to choose because they're all so tasty. Not greasy either which always sits heavy in my stomach. By far, the best branch in the UK.”

“Lovely little pizza restaurant offering in restaurant and takeaway located near St James Street and walking distance from the beach Very quiet atmosphere cosy Clean Staff are polite but felt rush to order and not as friendly as other places Service was fast specially that all food are freshly prepared Booking is available and maybe recommended on week end Rest selection of starters, mains, Pizzas and Pastas Prices are reasonable Margherita Lasagna Pasta carbonara Tiramisu Ordered the pepperoni pizza £12.95 with extra mushrooms for £2.50 extra charge and a coke £18.95 Pizza are massive I could only eat half of it but was allowed to take the rest home ( box was given on request) big enough to share in my opinion Wood burning pizza You can also buy some very Italian Products like Biscuits, flour, jam Open 7 days a week Monday to Sunday 12:00-22:30”

“Best value in Worthing. Had an iiiincredible meal here! The food was outstanding, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful. I expected a hefty bill given the quality, but was very pleasantly surprised! Absolute 11/10.”

“We visited Bella Italia on a Friday evening a couple of weeks ago. Food was great the staff were really friendly, really grateful for them for accommodating us at short notice.”

“Enjoyed an amazing 3-course meal after being unable to get in to Prezzo opposite and crossing the road to try Dom. I always thought it looked a bit empty when passing but it's spacious with plenty of inside and outside seating. It was fairly full with a nice atmosphere. Service was good, food was reasonably priced and we were made to feel welcome. Will definitely be back next time I fancy Italian.”

“Beyond the good choice of tasty food etc our visit was made exceptional by the outstanding high quality of service by Ellie. NOTHING was too much trouble - warm, friendly, genuine. A first class ambassador for hospitality standards!”

“Excellent 3 course menu for £29.95! Food was delicious and our server Jacob couldn’t do enough for us - friendly great service. Thank you!”

“Can't find anything to complain about this independent Italian restaurant. Food was superb and the range was excellent. You can tell when everything is freshly prepared and piping hot. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices in our opinion were very reasonable especially when you consider the quality of the food. Well worth a visit if ever in Hove.”

“Best pizza's in town a must try very authentic Italian pizza had a delivery from uber is amazing real dough not this pancake rubbish from the others around this place is serving the real deal”
