Fiordilate - Worthing restaurants guide
If you are looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, made with a sourdough base, you can find that here at Fiordilatte. Pizza has been through a UK wide renaissance in recent years and Worthing is well served by this Italian pizzeria and gelateria.

Thai Street Food - Worthing restaurants guide
No prizes for guessing what this Worthing restaurant specialises in, but they do so with great aplomb. It might not look much from the outside, and the interior is a little cramped and basic but don’t let this put you off. What you will find is fantastic and friendly service, authentic Thai food that has not been adapted for the UK market and generous portions that will keep you full for hours. Open all day and operating a lunch and dinner menu, Thai Street Food is a Worthing favourite for locals and visitors alike. If you are a fan of Thai food and know your Pad Thai from your Pad Ki Mow then a visit to Thai Street Food in Worthing should be for you.
Giuseppe's, Worthing restaurants guide
Giuseppe’s was born out of owner Giuseppe Manganaro’s love of good Italian food, made with fresh ingredients and served in a friendly atmosphere. They serve a range of authentic Italian dishes from classics such as lasagne and vongole through to their chefs signature dishes which include lavish seafood platters and traditional Sicilian dishes. They source locally, buying fish from local Worthing fishermen and meats from Sussex butchers. Anything Italian is sourced from their homeland, including a signature coffee blend imported from Sicily. Arguably the best Italian restaurant in Worthing.
The Fish Factory, Worthing restaurants guide
The Fish Factory is part of the Worthing Proto Group of restaurants, which include the Fat Greek Taverna and Food. The Fish Factory is the original member of the group and as such makes it into this list. Serving only the freshest seafood, sourced from sustainable fisheries they are passionate about line caught fish. The Fish Factory believe in authenticity, which for them means sourcing ingredients from their country of origin. That means you get chorizo from Spain and pasta flour from Italy. The Fish Factory is a relaxed and comfortable dining experience, with professional service and quality cooking.
The Corner House
Situated on the site of one of Worthing’s oldest pubs, you will find the recently renovated Corner House pub. No list of top eateries would be complete without a decent pub food option and The Corner House is certainly that. The stylish pub looks fantastic with its traditional tiled bar and sleek black exterior. The food is quality home-cooked comfort food but made with great attention to detail and a desire to make almost everything onsite. The team bake bread and make ice cream in the kitchen and even have a smoker for fish dishes. Obviously, no food pub would be complete without a decent Sunday roast and The Corner House has got a stonker with all the trimmings.
The Woods - Worthing restaurant
Didn’t think you would get through this list without at least one burger kitchen sneaking in, well here it is. The Woods is a new Worthing restaurant or burger joint that matches sizzling burgers with cocktails, craft beers and thick shakes, naturally. The menu features a variety of different burgers with mouth-watering toppings and interesting flavour combinations. Sides are a selection of all the usual suspects from skin on fries through to sticky wings and mac n cheese. The Woods is the sort of trendy and cool restaurant that probably would not have happened in Worthing a few years ago but is now right at home.
Pizzaface Worthing
One of our favourite Worthing restaurants. It is not just people that are moving from Brighton to Worthing but even the city’s restaurants are heading down the coast. Pizzaface has long be a Brighton favourite and they now have a branch in Worthing with a mini Boho Gelato included. What makes the branch different is that this is also a sit in restaurant with seating and table service. The quality is the same that residents of Hove and Kemptown are used to, with a range of pizzas and toppings that focus on quality fresh ingredients. If you are in town and feeling a little homesick for Brighton then Pizzaface will get you back on track and smiling.
