"I was being picked up in Crawley town by my mother and daughter on Saturday lunchtime and we decided we would have a quick lunch, however we wanted to eat somewhere that wasn’t a fast food joint yet we weren’t looking for a full on restaurant. The Italian Kitchen had caught my daughter’s attention while shopping at the County Mall, prior to coming to get me and my mother suggested we tried it. We easily found a nice table in the back end of the restaurant and although it is a order pay then have food served at the table, kind of place, we were greeted by a waitress and told to sit anywhere we preferred. Drinks and food arrived quickly and the menu offers something for everyone. I was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian and vegan options available furthermore the yummy range of choices catering for most dietary requirements. Not just the standard veggie lasagna or macaroni cheese but a whole bunch of stuff that made it hard to decide what to try! I had a halloumi burger and chips, my daughter had pizza and asked for extra toppings which weren’t listed on the menu but the chef was happy to find for her and my mother had chicken with mushrooms sauce with salad and potatoes. All our dishes looked appetising and were served promptly with a smile. I am not saying this restaurant cooks haute cuisine however the food on offer is good quality, the location is easy to get to and park, staff are helpful and the place itself seemed clean and well presented. Price is reasonable and I would certainly eat there again if I am in Crawley. Much better than the usual fake Italian chains! A big YES from me!"

On our recent visit to southern England we were at the County Mall centre in Crawley and had lunch at Cafe Giardino. The food is ok without being memorable. A good place for soup or a sanwich.

First time going here, I had the chicken, bacon and sweetcorn panini with a strawberry milkshake and slice of chocolate cake. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal! My partner had tuna melt panini with a strawberry smoothly which she thoroughly enjoyed. Staff are very friendly and it’s a very nice place to eat at

Food was delicious. Coffee was, as well. Only down side was the lack of space for my son's pushchair (he doesn't sit in a highchair yet) and he new starter who was still learning to make coffees, so the queue moved really slowly. The food was done before the drinks were and my mum-in-law was still paying when they were brought to the table

I went to County shopping center in Crawley and decided to stop by Cafe Giardino for some coffee and cake. The shopping center's website mentioned that they accept blue light cards, but when I showed the cashier the webpage, they refused to honor it. The cashier's response was "don't blame me." The coffee and cake were decent, nothing outstanding but still enjoyable.

Two of us came in to have a quick lunch. It took half an hour to bring us two egg sandwiches. Very disorganised, people who came in after us and also ordered sandwiches got there order first. The sandwich was ok, nice sandwich with a leaf of lettuce on the side. Why bother???? Nice seating area outside the old Debenhams. There’s nothing more to say, I’d only come here again if there were no other options.

I ordered scrambled eggs with salmon and a sausage sandwich at this restaurant. However, when my order arrived, it was incorrect - I received two fried eggs on toast with the salmon served on the side. When I informed the server of the mistake, they just shrugged their shoulders at the chef. My dining companion mentioned that the bread was dry and that the sauce was located at the other end of the restaurant instead of being provided in sachets or pots on the tables. Overall, we were very disappointed with the experience and felt that it was overpriced.

I was rudely rushed to place my order before even looking at the menu. We ordered a vegetarian breakfast and a full English at £9.95 each. I had to pay extra just for a splash of oat milk in my tea. The food was cold and portions were small, with minimal toppings and overcooked eggs. My husband's meal was burnt and cold, but at least he got more items than mine. We paid £25.90 for two disappointing breakfasts and rude service. If we wanted ketchup, we had to get it from a pump dispenser like at McDonald's. Overall, a terrible experience for our first visit to Crawkey. We will definitely not be returning.

Stopped for lunch. Fat Jackets has closed so this is the only place we could find doing jackets. They sit stone cold in the display counter before being microwaved to lukewarm. The underside of the potatoes were all chewy and hard where they had been microwaved. The chilli topping was ok but not very warm. £1.25 for a sprinkling of cheese (no warning). An unimpressive selection of lettuce leaves is served on the side. Kid’s pasta £5.99. Scooped out of a vat in the counter. Microwaved again. Pasta was so overcooked it was basically slush, and went cold rapidly. Didn’t fancy dessert as the cakes looked like they had come out of a packet, and besides, somehow the lunch came to £23. Dreadful all...

Awful! I ordered a Full English . This basically was a sea of watery beans with the remaining ingredients thrown on top. All food was pre-cooked and re-heated on griddle microwave very quickly. None of the food had any taste, totally bland and needed sauce and salt to even be palatable. This suggests the very cheapest ingredients were used. The reheated scrambled egg was hard and horrid. The mushrooms, swimming amongst the beans were tasteless and probably from a tin. The single rasher of bacon was not nice from being reheated. Even the toast was horrid: I expect to butter my own toast with real butter. The toast was placed on top of the beans and had been slathered in something not butter,...
