Andiamo is such a cosy, welcoming place and easily my favourite spot in East Grinstead for pizza. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the pizzas are genuinely the best in town. Tariq, the owner, is incredibly accommodating and makes you feel right at home. The service is great, and the whole experience is just fantastic. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place to go

I had no idea this restaurant existed until Saturday. I cannot praise the food and their service highly enough. The food was exceptional and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic food and excellent service. I have recommended all the dishes as we had several between us so I assume they were all lovely.

First visit to Andiamo after hearing great things. Here’s my experience.. We went on New Year’s Eve, the restaurant is cosy and authentic. However, as with any traditional Italian, expect to be shoulder to shoulder with the table next to yours. It did feel like we couldn’t have a conversation without others listening in. Service was sufficient and friendly - just a few tips for them to pay attention to replace missing cutlery and removing glasses from the tables that aren’t in use. Timings - we were in at 18:00 and out by 19:00. It all felt bit rushed. Granted it was New Year’s Eve but I was told they’d need the table back by 20:00 so would have liked service to slow down a bit. Food - flavoursome and cooked very well. The starters and dessert weren’t quite as we expected but they were still delicious. Portion sizes are generous and ultimate comfort food! Overall, I would go back to try more of the menu and hopefully for a more relaxed style of dining. And I do believe this is a great addition to EG!

Quaint authentic Italian restaurant in the middle of East Grinstead, this restaurant is an absolute hidden gem. For a truly authentic Nepalese meal, you’ll find no better location for miles. I visited with my partner on New Year’s Day as we stayed at a Five Star Spa close by, the food here was by far much better than the hotel restaurant we were staying at and at 1/3 the price, this was a no brainier as a destination once we discovered it. The aubergine parmigiana starter was absolutely delicious and their pasta mains were absolutely perfect 👌🏿 With a very “Mamma’s house” kind of vibe throughout, filled with intriguing artwork and eclectic pieces perfect for capturing a young families attention. This was a great find

We just visited for a New Year’s Day meal for my birthday and it was quiet for obvious reasons on New Year’s Day but we had such a lovely time! Food was outstanding! Our waiter was lovely and we even got a free chocolate cake with candles which was the topping to a lovely afternoon! We will be back! Amazing restaurant!

I can't say enough good things about this Italian restaurant! First off, their dough balls are absolutely incredible—soft, warm, and packed with flavor. It’s worth visiting just for those alone. But it doesn’t stop there. The atmosphere is cozy, and they even offer free WiFi, making it a great spot to relax or catch up on work if needed. The service is top-notch. There was one occasion where they opened the entire restaurant just for my family to dine privately! Talk about above and beyond. The chef, Mario, is fantastic—he adds a personal touch to every meal, and you can really taste the care that goes into the dishes. A big shout-out to Bella, our server, who was incredibly kind and attentive. She surprised us with an extra side on the house, which was such a sweet gesture! It's little things like this that make you feel like family. Oh, and if you’re a pet owner like me, you’ll love that they’re pet-friendly too! It’s safe to say we’ll definitely be going back. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a memorable Italian dining experience!

We had a meal here and the food was amazing! So nice, and I have to say exceeded my expectations by a long way. The starters were beautiful and the main course was divine! I would also like to say that we had Bella and Ella serve us, and they were amazing. Both girls went above and beyond and made our whole experience even better. They had great knowledge of the dishes and even recommended the main. They were polite, professional, and really attentive. Thank you, girls, and we shall come back to eat again and try the other dishes for sure. Visited again with family, and again, Bella served us, and she was so polite and helpful. The food was amazing and again so impressed with everything. I think this will now be the go-to place on special occasions for us as it is so good. Thank you all again.

Very cosy Italian restaurant just slightly out of the centre of East Grinstead! The interior is very cute interior design! The food was great - the pizza was super filling! The prawn linguine also had a generous number of prawns in it! Staff were super friendly as well!

I am so happy that such an amazing Italian restaurant has finally. opened in East Grinstead. Since we went with my husband for the first time in January I can't count the number of times we visited since then. The chef comes from Italy and you can definitely feel the Italian atmosphere! The food is amazing! I absolutely loved the arancini, Cozze, Calamari and their seafood linguine. I can also confirm that their pizza is the best in East Grinstead. :) For a true Italian food and atmosphere please come and visit so that our town can enjoy this restaurant for many years!

Finally, an Italian restaurant in East Grinstead. Everything we ate was bursting with flavour. The pizzas are made from sourdough and cooked perfectly. The waitress Sam was very friendly and attentive. At the end of the meal we were also offered free limoncello. It would be nice to have the moretti on draft for next time though. ;-)
