Adriatico - Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Surrey Heath

My girlfriend and I have just eaten here for the second time and have agreed to book for dinner next week! We're both so impressed with the quality of the food and the freshness of the ingredients, all cooked to order. Today I had the salami, ham and mozzarella panini and my girlfriend had the mozzarella, basil and tomato panini. They were HUGE! For £3.95 each, these are fantastic value for money and such high quality. We ordered the caprese salad as a side and it was equally delicious. We can't recommend this place enough for authentic, excellent quality food! Well done to them! We'll see you next week for dinner!

UPDATE- So we came back for dinner last night and had the absolute best time! The bruschetta to start, with cheesy garlic bread on the side, meat feast pizza and carbonara. Just incredible! This food is absolutely unmissable! Also, we chose a bottle of red and the owner asked if he could make a recommendation. We're open-minded so agreed to try his recommendation. Wow! What a wine! It's his favourite wine and I can see why. We have now switched from drinking South American to Italian for life! We had the best food, drink and time last night and cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Tony for your hospitality, and please thank the chef again. The man is a...

What a delightful find in Lightwater! This quaint little Italian restaurant, owned by the wonderful Toni, is a true gem. From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were stepping into a cozy corner of Italy. Toni welcomed us like old friends and went out of his way to suggest the perfect wine to pair with our meal, and his menu recommendations were spot on.

The food was nothing short of heavenly—authentic, traditional Italian cuisine that transported us straight to Italy. We savored every bite of the Arrabiata and Carbonara pasta, both bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients and lots of love. Chef Elio’s incredible talent was evident in every dish.

To top it all off, we had the tiramisu, and it was the best I’ve ever had—the perfect way to end our meal. For a moment, we could have sworn we were dining in a little trattoria in Rome.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, filled with laughter and the kind of hospitality that leaves you with a warm heart. We can’t wait to return and try more dishes. Unfortunately did not get any more pics!

A word of advice: be sure to book ahead to secure a table at this popular spot. Highly recommended for anyone craving an authentic Italian...

Looks like a nice place, however I felt we were treated with contempt and the experience left a proverbial bad taste in my mouth.

As per the photo, the place was open but they completely ignored my partner and children when they walked in and said hello. This was in spite of me calling ahead and booking a table.

When I walked in, I greeted someone and asked if they are actually open. They were annoyed at me and simply stated "no, not until 1pm, like I said on the phone".

The quality of their phone line was pretty bad so I accept I may have misunderstood, hence this isn't simply a 1 star review.

Nevertheless, it's simply unacceptable to be so discourteous by straight up ignoring people who have walked in. Simply stating: "we're closed" would have been sufficient.

If they really aren't open, why open the door and have the open light on?

We didn't wait in the end and left to go elsewhere.

Highly recommend you do not attempt to dine in here. They probably don't open properly until 2pm on a Saturday.

The cafe next door looks lovely. We went to Milano 57 which is 10 minutes away and MUCH more...
