   Lovely fresh feel after the refurbishment. I like the repositioning of the entry door, in the winter sitting opposite the old door was always cold. However, they appear to have taken out the false ceiling so the noise level has increased :-( However the food was great, service attentive, not overly expensive, portions sizes good. We'll be back. They are keeping up with everything that was Casa Ciro with a fresh feel. The decorative plates on the wall make it feel very italian.

   First time we’ve visited since the revamp and we we’re seriously impressed. New vibe, new menu and great service. Two excellent pasta dishes followed by two desserts we could only just polish off. Keep up the good work guys.

   Lovely lunch, especially good as it was half term so kids ate for free. Great food, and really friendly waiter.

   Restaurant has had a makeover - the decor is bright and clean. Food was excellent although no gluten free pasta available which was disappointing. The service was good with friendly waitresses. We felt the tables were a little too close together especially when larger groups came in and the noise level rose so we had to raise our voices to have a conversation with our guests.

   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
