Top Cafes in Burstow, Surrey

Grappelli was a fantastic experience! Eddie, our waiter, was attentive, friendly, and offered great recommendations. The house-made pasta and seafood risotto were delicious, and the tiramisu was the perfect finish. Cozy ambiance, excellent service—highly recommend!

Honestly, this place is 10/10. The decor and interior styling was absolutely brilliant, it really encapsulates what it is to be dining in a top end Italian restaurant. The service tonight was exceptional, the staff have the perfect approach to serving and have clearly struck the right balance. And let’s get on to the highlight, the food. Calamari and Avocado Salad Tacos to start - just wow. Calamari is a commonly served dish in many types of eatery but this here, in its fritti style was exceptional. As were the tacos, crunchy and punchy, full of flavour. We chose the fusilli venison ragu today as a special choice and it didn’t disappoint - it was sublime. As was the halibut. It’s difficult sometimes to make white fish tasty but the tomato sauce complimented it so well it was almost moreish - well prepared all round. Dessert was a particular favourite of mine, the pistachio crème brûlée was heavenly. I couldn’t stop eating it! My wife loved her chocolate covered strawberries with cream, a novel dessert idea and a fantastic one. Grappelli has been on my list for a while. It has exceeded all expectation and I can safely say this is the best Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. I’m not an easily pleased man so this has come from an incredibly critical viewpoint, but honestly I can’t fault this place at all. I chose some dishes that were out of my comfort range and loved them - that is the mark of a top notch restaurant. I cannot WAIT to come back.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience! This Italian restaurant offers an authentic taste of Italy with every dish. From the moment you step in, you’re welcomed by a warm, cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for any occasion whether it’s a romantic evening or a night out with friends.

The menu is diverse, featuring both classic Italian favorites and unique chef specials. We tried the pasta and the lovely diversity of starters, and both were exceptional. The pasta was cooked to perfection, with sauces that were rich and bursting with flavor.

The service was outstanding. The chef is very talented and very polite, Our servers Eddie the manager, and Federico, Zee and all the team was attentive knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent wine pairing suggestions. You can tell the staff takes pride in providing a memorable dining experience.

If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. The food, ambiance, and service combine to create a truly exceptional meal. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent place to eat - delicious food, good service, great ambience and awesome cocktails. Really good choice of wines too (staff will direct you to some very good lesser known ones). We love it as a family or for date night.

The most fantastic meal! I haven’t had an Italian pasta compare to Grappelli since visiting Rome! Also the bellini, and pistachio tiramisu are a must order!
