    What a lovely restaurant, the staff were friendly and attentive, food was fabulous, and the atmosphere great. Certainly compares to the Ivy but with a far more sophisticated interior. We will be back, the best Italian meal we have had for years.

    Our food was absolutely breathtaking. The olives fell off their stones, the best I have ever had. My chocolate fondant could’ve been hotter but it was incredible and I booked our valentines meal then and there. Fantastic service from every single interaction. Such lovely staff. Unfortunately we had a loud, quite rude couple sat next to us and they were drunk. Their behaviour wasn’t up to the restaurants high standard. However, I remarked to my partner that it did not impact how lovely Lilly was or the food. The decor is amazing and I can’t wait to return!
    Piccolino - ChichesterResponded on 21 December 2024
    Dear Sophie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food, especially the olives and chocolate fondant – we take great pride in every dish we serve. It's wonderful to know that Lilly and the rest of our team made such a positive impression on you. We’re sorry to hear about the disruption caused by the other guests, we always aim to provide a peaceful and enjoyable experience for all. Your understanding is truly appreciated, and we’re glad it didn’t take away from your overall experience. We're excited to welcome you back soon for your Valentine's celebration and beyond – and we’ll be sure to keep the warm atmosphere you loved. See you again soon! Kind Regards Piccolino

    Three of us came for lunch, place was busy and a little noisy but didn’t both us too much. Food was really lovely. Two of us had the classic bruschetta to start. Delicious so simple and yet packed with flavour. I had a vegetarian pasta with seasonal veg in a creamy sauce! Sublime! Another had the classic lasagna and said how delicious and just melted in the mouth. Beef steak medallions in a peppercorn sauce with fries my mother loved! The fries are crunchy and yet fluffy! For dessert I had the affogato lovely little pudding and my mother had the passionfruit panna cotta. Thoroughly enjoyed. Overall all delicious and look forward to returning
