Fiordilatte - Worthing

Visited here twice in the last few weeks. First time had the house pizza brilliant. Waiter left us a bottle of olive oil on our table which enhanced the pizza beautifully. Next visit ordered a different pizza and baked aubergine dish. Pizza was good but aubergine not so good, a little bitter. But the odd thing was the same waiter offered us olive oil again, but this time he gave us a little thimble sized dish he had poured some in. Had we used too much the first visit? Other couples dining had bottles of olive oil on their tables. A slightly unsettling experience.

A lovely sunny Sunday lunchtime we had tossed up between the sea front and Warwick Street for a pizza. In the end we chose the tranquility of Fiordilatte rather than being puffed at by exhaust fumes. We were so glad we did. Our lovely waitress, whom we thought was from Southern Italy but was actually originally from Kuwait, made us feel immediately welcome. She took our drinks order and we were also brought a bottle of water and two glasses as a matter of course. Fiordilatte has always had a simple straightforward menu with a neat range of delicious sounding pizze at excellent prices. Ours arrived pretty quickly as they weren't busy when we arrived. The pizzas were large and every bit as good as we remembered. No thick crusts here, real Italian sourdough pizzas with lots of fresh topping. Just fabulous. Our waitress was attentive at all times and made sure that we were enjoying our meal and spared a little time for a chat. It turned out that she was actually a student at Worthing College. I think lunchtimes get busier later on Sundays. At around 2.15 more people began to arrive plus there was a queue for their scrumptious Italian ice creams. When it came to dessert we chose Affogato vanilla ice cream with Espresso coffee which is poured over the ice cream. Because they were getting pretty busy our desserts took a little time to come, but hey it was a sunny Sunday and we weren't try to catch a train. Inside the restaurant they sell Sicilian desserts to take away. We couldnt resist. Absolutely lush. Thank you Fiordilatte. Got to be the very best pizzas in Worthing and excellent value.

Went here with my husband and was very impressed. Straight away a jug of water was put on the table. Had to wait a bit as it was quite busy but it was worth it. We both had a lovely moist Napolana with extra toppings. A very thin sourdough base which was very tasty. For desert my husband had a lovely Tiramisu and I had an affogato. Very pleasant atmosphere with friendly and helpful waiters.

Stopped in for ice cream when the ice cream shop across the way decided not to serve us, claiming they were closed and only serving the group of people they said were their family (with the door still open and the Open sign still showing). We are glad we went to Fioridilatte. The service was great, the ice cream was great and the price reasonable too. Thanks for our dessert!

Great place to eat with excellent quality food at a reasonable price. Service is always friendly and an ideal place whether it’s a first date or just a night out with friends or partner.
