Zeno Restaurant

As others have mentioned, this is a great and unexpected find in the village of Horley, near the Gatwick Airport. The atmosphere is relaxing and fresh, the service, excellent and the food was all wonderful. Highly recommend if you live here or are just stopping for the day. The food tastes very fresh and authentic and is reasonably priced. We had the prawn and zucchini risotto, the spaghetti carbonara, the spinach and butter side dish and tiramisu and torta della nonna for dessert. All delicious!

We were staying in Horley for an extended layover at Gatwick and decided to have dinner here. Safe to say, we were in London for 4 days a week prior and this was the best food we had during our time in the UK. The 'nduja pasta was incredible, and my friend said he really enjoyed his milanesa. Great gem with affordable prices.

Beautiful meal, lovely atmosphere. A last minute decision after a long day of travelling, we were tired and irritable and tempted to just grab a cheap takeaway from somewhere but so glad we made the effort to go out to Zeno. We arrived to a beautifully presented restaurant a bit underdressed but welcomed all the same. Normally I would’ve felt a bit intimidated in this situation but our hosts made us feel at ease. Clearly very skilled at their jobs they came across as incredibly professional but also warm and hospitable too. There was a wide choice of appealing dishes (even though we’re vegetarian) and when the food arrived it was out of this world delicious! Good sized portions, not unnecessarily fussy or complicated but expertly prepared to deliver so much flavour. We’d intended to eat quickly and get back to the hotel for an early night but the quality of the food and service encouraged us to stay on for desserts and coffees which were also just divine. Overall one of the best meals and dining experiences we’ve ever had, I couldn’t recommend it more.
