    Friendly service with good recommendations and detail. The food was probably the best Italian we have had in or around Horsham, would highly recommend a visit.

    The food was amazing. The best lasagna I’ve ever had, and the carbonara was beautiful and rich.

    The staff are just wonderful. Our waitress couldn’t do enough for us and offered really amazing recommendations. The food was insanely good too, I can’t recommend this place enough.

    Very nice waiting staff, very helpful with advice. The food is delicious, the sauce in my seafood spaghetti was on a higher level than most I have tasted. The Pannacotta was rich and creamy, again different from others I have had.

    I have been meaning to try Filippos for a long time so now know I will be going back frequently. The food was wonderful and the service great. My cousin and I were very impressed. I would feel comfortable going back on my own as the atmosphere was conducive to it and we were made very welcome.

    Lovely genuinely Italian restaurant with lovely food and friendly, attentive staff. Only build would be that food on offer is pizza and pasta, not many secondi options, but more limited menu aside it was a highly enjoyable evening and we’ll be going again.

    This venue with its very welcoming and friendly team provided an ideal place for celebrating a family birthday. The food was excellent. All ages catered for. We look forward to being able to go there again one day.

    We've been meaning to try this restaurant for a while as we see it whenever we use Piries place car park, and we finally managed it and it didn't disappoint. We had a very warm welcome and the food was lovely and the atmosphere cosy. I'm sure we'll be there again soon.

    The people there were very nice, the feel was very pleasant, had to move a table around so I could face my boyfriend a bit which was good. The way the tables were set up (chairs were perpendicular to each other) still give an intimate feeling but we wanted something more direct. Very good food, the mozzarella tomato and basil is an amazing combo and the pizza’s were fab!

    The downstairs of the restaurant was closed and we went upstairs into a type of loft conversion. It was not nice up there, no italian feel at all. I didnt like it at all.

    food was very nice. it was a shame, as we were given the distinct impression our presence was of great irritation to the lead waitress/ owner. Not sure why, as we were a polite family at all times.

    8.5/10

    Fabulous evening with old friends not met in years. Food was excellent, with one proviso - the panna cotta was rather heavy, and tough. (didn't think my own would be better than that in an Italian restaurant!) Everything else was brilliant though! The lady looking after us couldn't have been more helpful or engaging. (Sorry, didn't catch your name!) Ambience would have got full marks but for the wooden floor, which makes any room noisy. Why do so many restaurants do that these days? Will definitely be going back.

    Best pizza I have had in years with a great thin crust that was just right. Really polite, professional waiter. Very welcoming. We had a lovely family supper. Dessert was super. This is an independent, family restaurant that is well worth visiting.

    A really lovely restaurant! From the outside it doesn’t look like much but the food was amazing and service even better! The lady (the owner) payed so much attention to me and my partner on Valentine’s Day and was so accommodating! Food was absolutely amazing! Will definitely come again!

    Fillipo's absolutely never disappoints, it's a real hidden gem in a town full of eateries. Tina is a wonderful host, welcome and caring without being intrusive - and the staff that work for her are absolutely cast in the same mould. The food is nothing short of outstanding, with great choice. Very highly recommended.

    Lovely little restaurant, needs a bit of an update decor wise and toilet facilities, but lovely family owned little place where the food is actually very good and service with a smile- well worth going to if you are fed up with chain resturants!

    Party of Four celebrating a family anniversary. All aspects of our visit were excellent. Engaging hosts (Mrs Filippo and Chef Filippo) who both worked tirelessly throughout our visit. We ordered our mussels and garlic bread for starters. All the dishes were served in good time and piping hot. The portions were good and the dishes all very tasty. For mains two pizzas, a calzone and one pasta dish. Again served in good time, hot, very good portions. Three desserts (ice cream, cheesecake and Tiramisu) all very tasty, great presentation and decent portions. This is a gem of a family run restaurant and cannot wait to return.

    the restaurant is quite small so worth booking ahead. The food is good and the service albeit from one member of staff was excellent and quick. This was our third visit since lockdown as it is handy for the Horsham Everyman cinema. Be aware this place is up a flight of stairs.

    Excellent food and great service from this restaurant, we will be back to savour more of their delicious choice of dishes. Very small wine list, but the house white that we had was lovely.

    As always the lovely lady looked after us. She informed me she would be on her own but the service did not suffer. The food was out quickly and there was only empty plates at the end of our meal. Lovely time for my daughters birthday. Thank you.

    Small restaurant tucked away in the centre of Horsham. We received a very friendly welcome from the hostess and good service. The food was authentic and very tasty. The cheesecake topped with strawberries was probably the best we've ever tasted.

    If you like ‘proper’ Italian cooking rather than what you get from chain Italian restaurants then this is where you need to be. Superb authentic food from an Italian family owned and run business at prices that don’t break the bank, and opening times that suit early evening cinema or theatre. We love it.

    Trying to hire staff but servicing 20 odd cover restaurant with only two waitrons not very successful. Food in general well below par with a very salty lasagne, dry carbonara and chewy mozzarella. Won't return again as too many better quality eateries in the area. Not recommended

    Lovely evening with family - good service and lovely food. Wine choice a bit disappointing but lots of other drinks an option. Delicious panacotta!

    We were welcomed by a lovely lady who made a fuss of the two youngsters. The food, especially the pizzas were outstanding. Happy to visit again, so nice not to eat in a chain restaurant.
