Haywards Heath, Italian Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: “A bustling Italian pizzeria with huge helpings of food like Mama makes” in the heart of the Lanes. “Comforting and joyous” – it provides “value-for-money pastas and pizzas and is ideal for outings with young family members”.

2023 Review: Raz Helalat has a strong track record in these parts (The Salt Room, Burnt Orange in Brighton, Coal Shed) so this new 80-cover Italian in a restored 1930s bank near the Pavilion is worth watching. The kitchen is to be run by Sardinian-born Mirella Pau, formerly of London’s Café Murano and Padella. Originally slated for mid 2022, by autumn a final opening date is still awaited.
