The best restaurants serving Italian food in Chichester South East

This quirky café is located in a fairly idyllic South Downs village, surrounded by lovely old houses. We went for coffee and cake; we both had the enormous pistachio croissants. Coffee was very well made and service was very prompt. When we visited the staff were putting up Christmas decorations, so the seating area was full of people, and it was difficult to navigate around the tables. A small point, but the menus consisted of a wad of sheets of paper with options for coffee on the top sheet, and lunch on those below; it would have been nice to look through and think about whether we might return for lunch another time, but they were swiftly whisked away. A full menu on a large laminated sheet might be better. I had hoped to buy a few 'stocking fillers' from the items for sale on the shelves, but they were all so expensive as to be out of my price range. While there make sure to visit the fascinating 14th-century church of St Mary and St Gabriel just up the hill, which contains many extraordinary monuments and much stained glass.

Great welcome from new owner, staff and lovely new menu and still a great standard as set by previous owners. I took my daughter for the first time and we both really enjoyed our food. Lovely soup followed by vegetarian meatballs and pasta...no dessert as too full. Will definitely return

Lovely time at Ask again. Food lovely and staff lovely.

Everything was okay. Toward the end of the evening an acquaintance of the team did cause a fuss - it made the end of the evening quite uncomfortable.

Trivia cards on the table, honestly a brilliant touch. Food was brilliant and service was fantastic.

Very quiet on this occasion but the service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Highly recommend Wildwood. The waitress Molly was absolutely fantastic.

My family and I ordered some pizzas and sides and they had put meat on all of our vegetarian pizzas, they refused to change or refund the food and were very rude and unprofessional about it!!. Just to top it off the pot of sauce that came with a side was visibly used.

We went for Christmas Eve with the family , everyone loved it

A totally amazing place to visit. The food is excellent and the service was excellent too. I visited when it was quiet. I shall from 2025 treat myself or with a friend, to sample this amazing place. Yes it is a tad expensive, but as the old saying goes.( You pay for what you get). Keep up your excellent work. I so you forward to seeing you again soon.

We arrived at around 2 ish on 6th April 2023. Our first impression was that they were closed it was very dark and quiet. We did some some other people sitting at tables so we waited by the sign that said "Please wait here to be seated"... And we waited, and we waited, and we waited... At last, a staff member came into view from behind the bar. He then diligently avoided eye contact and proceeded to completely ignore us. He disappeared back into the kitchen. That's OK I thought, he's probably telling somebody that there are customers waiting to be seated. The same staff member made another brief appearance behind the bar and once again ignored us. Game over, we left and went on to have a fantastic meal at a restaurant called "Bill's" just around the corner. Rule 1, page 1: Even if you're busy, do not ignore customers ever! "Apologies for the delay folks, somebody will be with you very shortly" is all he needed to say in order for you to keep a customer and avoid a scathing review. What you have done is loose me as a customer, not just in Chichester, but nationwide, forever. Which is a shame because I really like your food.
