"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!"
