| My wife and I also use George's, mainly because Maggie is disabled. We used to use Piccolo's quite a bit, but that seems to have gone downhill somewhat. Being a good friend of Filippo Marziano I would talk up his new restaurant in Park Place, and not just because he is a friend. The Italian language class I was in had our last meal there and it was superb. Indeed one of the teachers, an Italian lass, was most impressed. You'll get a true taste of Italy there. We like George's because the man himself is a really pleasant guy and I find it somewhat depressing that he - and others - are having problems. Horsham needs restaurants like his and Filippo's, where the attention to detail (and the consequential standard of food, both in its taste and its presentation) is so much more evident. Regards

| My daughter and i went to pizza express and really we were not impressed. The waitor was very moody, the food was not very impressive at all, not a very good atmosphere. A couple came in to try and book a table for later and were very rudly turned away. The music was so annoying that we did'nt want to stay for desert. We then went onto smith and western for desert, Were shown to our table straight away and the waitress was very friendly and attentive. The drinks tasted much better, and i was impressed with the atmosphere and it was much easier to talk as we were comfortable and relaxed. The desert was very nice. We would love to go back for a meal and ill post how we get on.

| "Which restaurants would you recommend for a family with young children (2 + 5 year olds)?" Please stick to Pizza Express so those of us who like to dine without the background of screaming children know where to avoid!

Hi,
I must say the River Kwai Thai restaurant next to the old townhall is quite nice. I was there twice and the food was absolutely spot on. Very well prepared and delicious, although I fooled myself thinking the green chillies probably weren't that hot. 
I also like their athmosphere at is rarely packed full, with a nice fireplace in the back and good wooden features.
But Pizza Express is hard to condemn on the basis of their food, because it is excellent. The fact that they aim at world domination is another story.

I went to Filippos when it first opened and was not impressed at all. Despite the place being empty it took ages for someone to actually acknowledge us (got near to the point of walking out) and the food was, eventually, very average. Décor not exactly oozing style either. Worst of all - the premises weren't licensed! Perhaps things have improved (have they got a licence yet?!), but my first impressions meant I haven't been back - as someone pointed out, there are plenty of other Italian restaurants in Horsham. Whatever you think about the chains, I've only ever had great service and food at the likes of Prezzo, Strada etc.
