A delightful mix of fresh vegetables, cheese, and tangy tomato sauce on a chewy crust.

"I visited this place with my friend this week and it was an excellent experience. Place was big but very well organized and decorated beautifully. We received a warm welcome by staff; they seated us and helped us with the menu which looked great. I ordered chicken wrapped in pancetta and my friendordered spaghettini with prawns which she said was the best she had. Great ingredients, flavors and very nicely presented. I could recommend this place without a hesitation. This place is worth a visit."

"vito is simply the best. an extremely friendly reception, very clean cozy restaurant and the best eating of all time. my four cheese sauce gnocchi as starter was great and I could have the bigger part than my main course next time. I can't remember what my man had, but he was very quiet to eat it! we had both pizzas as pornstars, he had calzone and I had a white san daniele. both were amazing and we were very, very full of it. I made an affogato for dessert and he had 3 draws ice. the wee was good and the overall bill was very reasonable. we just wanted us to live closer together because it's worth a visit."

"I went for lunch yesterday at this restaurant. It was not my first time there and it certainly won't be my last. The staff is lovely, very polite, and attentive. We tried the lunchtime special which was £14 for three courses. It was an absolute delight! The meatball starter was delicious, the potato skins and pasta were generous portions, and the pizza was delicious and plentiful (we even took some home). If you want to have a fantastic meal, this is the place to go. They also have a beautiful outdoor seating area for the summer. I can't wait for the sunshine!"

"First the positive: the pizza was excellent. Authentic Italian, quality and tasty. Where this restaurant fails is the fact that they cram diners too closely together, especially in their basement. Despite having booked in advance we were led to a table downstairs. This room is small, airless and dank and yesterday evening was hot. There isn't even elbow room between the tables. As each successive set of diners came down the stairs their faces revealed their dismay. At one point around a dozen teenagers were shown to a table for about six. They stayed five minutes before bumping their way out. Not their fault as it was virtually impossible to not bump into someone. Once we had finished our delicious pizzas we went outside to finish our wine and the queue outside left when they saw us emerge sweating. A great shame the owners of this otherwise excellent restaurant seemingly try to put profit above customer enjoyment."

"The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. There were plenty of specials available during our visit, and the staff kindly explained all of our menu options in English."
"Great Italian Food on Harrogate Road If you're looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience, this restaurant on Harrogate Road comes highly recommended. Ambience and Service Arriving around 7 PM, we were promptly seated. The restaurant boasts exquisite decor and a welcoming ambience. From the moment we walked in until we left, the service was flawless. Starters We began with three starters: Tempura Prawns, Avocado Crab Tian, and Gamberoni Marechiaro. Each dish was perfect. The Gamberoni sauce was beautifully seasoned, the tempura batter was just right, and the Crab Tian was well balanced and seasoned. Main Courses: For the main course, we ordered the Fish Feast Platter for one (which could easily serve 1.5 people), Carbonara, and Linguine Pescatore. All three dishes were beautifully prepared and delicious. Value Although the restaurant is on the expensive side, the quality of food and overall dining experience make it well worth the price. Recommendation I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch Italian cuisine"

"As most people do, we popped in for a quick meal prior to the theatre. Carlos our host and his colleagues were very welcoming and the food was spectacular. I had the spaghetti vongole one of the best ever and my girlfriend had the best chicken Kiev she said she has ever had. The tuna and the veal which our guests had also came highly recommended. The only negative is that our time there was much too short and we plan to visit again just for an evening out without any time constraints. Thank you Carlos and your family"

"It 's my first time in my life that I leave a review. I won 't leave them because I worked in restaurants for 20 years between Italy and London. But this time I necessarily have to do it because this restaurant claims to be an Italian restaurant but in reality it is not like that. 1) I ate a good pizza but very far from Italian pizza. 2) I asked for a dessert tiramisu and on the minus it was written that it was made with zabbaglione but it wasn 't like that. It was made with cooking cream with mascarpone. In addition, I asked the staff if I could speak to the chef who had told me in advance that he was Italian but in reality he was not. This is really sad because if there is something written on the menu you have to respect it! And don 't make fun of people.. The ending if you want to see an Italian place with a nice selection of music then this is the right place.. But don 't expect Italian cuisine because it 's not like that (as I said before the pizza was good but very far from Italian pizza) I will be back in a few months to try the tiramisu again and hope it is as described on the menu."

"We had a lunch to celebrate being able to get out together for a Christmas treat. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and provided excellent service. One of our group members was feeling unwell, but the staff on duty were incredibly kind and helpful. The food was well-presented and suited our budget perfectly, with a good selection on the fixed menu. Due to Covid restrictions, the restaurant was quite quiet and lacked atmosphere through no fault of the staff. We will definitely visit again."

"First time ordering this tonight as a treat for getting a new job... and wow! My tastebuds have been expanded and I loved every bite. I ordered the langos burger and it was a mighty beautiful beast, only managed half of it, but it was amazing. Would highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting the restaurant when everything opens up. I would say that the food did arrive later than the expected time on the website, however it was worth the wait. I did try to ring the restaurant three times and they didn’t answer once... so perhaps that is something to work on? But great food and the delivery driver was a nice guy too."

"Brought my young teens as Italian is always a good choice. Very rustic inside. Food came quickly and was really tasty. Pizza base was excellent. Only disappointment was that they didn’t do ice creams which the children wanted, so didn’t stay for dessert. Reasonably priced..."

"Giusi for Mother's Day when we wanted to stay here. Small and cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. However, food was mixed. Calamari Starter was rubbery and, at nine pounds, not cheap. Spaghetti Bolognese main was quite delicious, with good amount of meaty Bolognese. The calf liver was quite tasteless and sour, with a large amount of caramelized onions above to offer the taste. Mash was smooth. The desert consisted of a pizza with mussels and strawberries, which was delicious. No wine or alcohol, so not able to comment on it. The bill came to seventy five pounds, which we would have expected to pay in a much better restaurant. All in all, Giusi has all the ingredients of a beautiful restaurant, but just falls in quality, and very expensive for what it is. Think the pizza and pasta options are your best bet."

"Went to Giusi for Mother's Day as we wanted to stay local. Small and cosy restaurant, with a pleasant atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. Food, however, was mixed. Calamari starter was rubbery and, at nine pounds, not cheap. Spaghetti bolognese main was quite tasty, with good amount of meaty bolognese. Calves liver was rather tasteless and sinewy, with a large quantity of caramelised onions on top to provide the flavour. Mash was smooth though. Desert consisted of a pizza with nutella and strawberries, which was yummy. No wine or alcohol, so unable to comment on that. The bill came to seventy five pounds, which was what we'd have expected to pay in a much better restaurant. All in all, Giusi has all the ingredients of a lovely restaurant, but just falls short in quality, and very expensive for what it is. Think the pizza and pasta options are your best bet."

"This was our third visit this year, and honestly, the restaurant is just mediocre. Leatherhead doesn’t have many good dining options, so we keep returning to this Italian place. This time, I started with an avocado, tomato, and mozzarella salad, but it had no flavor at all. For my main course, I ordered spaghetti vongole, but it was gritty, so I couldn't eat it. The owner did offer an alternative, but I just didn’t feel like eating anymore. My partner ordered a pizza, but unfortunately, the crust wasn’t crispy. We ended up paying and leaving without much satisfaction. I don’t think we’ll return again in the future."

"We got there and were seated next to a drunken group who were celebrating a party which although not the restaurants fault, didn’t start the night out the best. The starters I would say were amazing, however we both had pizza as a main which was awful. It tasted like it’d been cooked a week ago and left out in the sun. We tried to enjoy it but despite being starving we only managed half. I did inform the restaurant who apologised and discounted one of the pizzas, sadly this was not enough and ruined the night."

"I went to this restaurant for dinner with a friend and I'm really happy that I did. The pizza had the perfect thickness, crispy edges, and the dough was not soggy in the middle. I ordered the vegetarian pizza and could tell that the ingredients were fresh and freshly prepared. The customer service was excellent and the waiter was attentive. I sat outside as it was sunny and warm, but inside the restaurant had an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. You could see the chef making and cooking the pizza in the wood fire oven, giving it a homey feel. I would definitely recommend Honest Italian to my friends."

"Despite a reservation for 630 we didn't sit down until 7.10pm. Lovely and friendly though and fairly apologetic so we didn't mind the wait. Very slow service unfortunately, which meant we didn't leave until 10.30pm. Wine was lovely, food exceptional. Only real gripe was one of our party has dietary issues and could not eat their meal literally only had a few mouthfuls) yet there was no way she could take it home with her very adamant that it had to all go in the bin £20 meal). Next time she will take her own container. Most eateries offer a box these days but hey ho. We spent a small fortune on drinks and food and a little limoncello at the end would have been a nice touch, especially as it was for a 70th birthday but even so, a great celebratory meal and we will definitely give it another go purely because of the authentic and fantastic food. Don't let this put you off just don't expect a quick meal if you're in a hurry."

"Stopped here after a hot day at thorpe park. Was staying close so suited family meal before we all parted ways. Service from a young lad was nice. Food was nice although chefs, you need to drain the water from the pasta more and reduce the cream in the pan longer as this was too watery. My choice was the Harrissa chicken pasta tasty towards the end but lacked seasoning which I just asked for salt and pepper and as above reduce the liquid! Pasta cooked perfectly Pizza was nice, just food timings are little off as we received everything bar one dish which was another 5 minutes. Pull in timings. As we recieved the first 4 and 2 sides very quickly you had time to pull together. We visited on a Saturday night and thought it would be busy but wasn't, however we liked our choice of table by the open doors as the restaurant was rather warm too. We eyed up the desserts on another table at the beginning and decided to try. Lovely however, the borage flowers, these were dry should have been left off. You put approx 20 dried small flowers that couldn't be avoided ontop, and with every mouthful I had to pull flowers out my mouth. This isn't pleasant. Cherry compote and the gelato were beautiful just ruined by this detail. Which zizzi could just stop and enjoy a better profit margin. Water glasses smudged and one unusable, small details matter!"

"We had a great night on Saturday, 19 of us celebrating my partners 50th. (Apologies to any of the other guests if they found us to be too loud ????). Given the size of the party we were asked to pre order, which wasn't an issue. We were meant to be a party of 20 but a last minute cancellation was no problem for them. Food was great, service was fabulous and would definitely recommend. Thank you for looking after us ????"
