Ray’s Italian Kitchen opened in December 2018 and is owned and managed by local restaurateur, Stacey Crouch. Located in the heart of Milford on Sea, which is a foodie-renowned seaside village in the New Forest, the restaurant, takeaway and delicatessen is a place not to be missed for anyone living in or visiting Milford on Sea.

Lovingly named after Stacey’s father, Ray’s Italian Kitchen offers relaxed and sophisticated dining options throughout the day. 

In 2021 the delicatessen with a wonderful range of Italian ingredients, and hot & cold sweet & savoury treats to enjoy at home was added, alongside a luxury picnic menu to takeaway and enjoy at the beach.

Every detail of the restaurant has been carefully selected by Stacey, down to the sophisticated interior in gold and blue tones, creating a place for eating, drinking, talking and sharing.

The restaurant is open as a cafe during the day, serving breakfast, brunch and lunch. In the evening there is an extensive and tasty a la carte menu full of home-made Italian dishes with vegan and gluten free options. All of the dishes are carefully selected to be big on flavour and taste with the option of a 'Small Plate' grazing menu for sharing. To tempt you further, there is also a naughty, but delicious dessert menu. To compliment your meal there is also a comprehensive wine list.

If you would rather eat at home, there are pizza and pasta meals that you can order and enjoy as a takeaway. 

Alfresco dining can also be enjoyed in the warmer months in the sun-soaked courtyard, where flatbreads and small plates can be enjoyed until 9pm.

Ray’s Italian Kitchen, with its vibrant atmosphere, is a must eat place for both locals and visitors alike.
