I am a big fan of Italian cuisine. Not only on holiday in Italy, but also in my home country, Switzerland, I regularly visit Italian restaurants. Here in Eastbourne we found this fantastic restaurant. What we were able to enjoy here can compete with the best Italian restaurants in the world. It was absolutely top class. There's a Negroni on the menu! A Negroni like heaven; perfectly mixed. The starter: The bruschetta and insalata caprese were simply perfect. Flavour, visual presentation, price/performance - unbeatable. The main course: Lasagne and pollo something: an absolute highlight. Delicious!!! Outstanding!!! The dessert: Tiramisu is always the benchmark for quality at the end of an Italian dinner. And this tiramisu sets the bar very, very high. I have to say, it will be very, very difficult to find an Italian restaurant that can compete at this level. A word about the staff: Anyone who can employ such great service staff in the current staff shortage is probably doing a lot right. We finished with a sambuca. Unfortunately, this Italian speciality is not available in every restaurant that describes itself as "typically Italian". I am absolutely thrilled with this Italian restaurant. Anyone who loves Italian cuisine and is travelling anywhere near Eastbourne must pay a visit to this restaurant. Thank you for letting us be your guests.

Had a really lovely meal. The bolognaise was delicious and the pizza was light and crispy. Super friendly waitresses who were very sweet and excellent hosts. Great food, great service, relaxed atmosphere. All in all a good night

I can go on and on about everything in this restaurant. so let’s start one by one 1. let’s start with food - now usually when a restaurant says they’re “authentic” I’m a bit skeptical, but we went here because we’re tired and can’t think of anything else. Boy we were definitely made the right choice! can’t tell it’s actually authentic because we’re not Italian, but we know it’s a REAL GOOD FOOD! portion was great, it tastes amazing. 2. now the service what makes the whole experience just 10/10. the lovely lady who serves us was amazing! she smiled the whole time and always making sure we’re satisfied. 11/10 Would love to come back here when I visit this city again.

This Italian restaurant was superb. From the moment we arrived until the end, we both felt cared for. The waitresses were so attentive that my partner and I felt very special. The dishes were amazing. I never had a seafood pasta served with pizza dough coverage. I highly recommend this lovely spot for a meal with a special someone.

I ordered the Bolognese (recommendation) and it tasted authentically Italian—very satisfying! After the meal, I also tried my friend’s tiramisu, which was delicious. Next time, I’ll definitely try their specialty pasta and another serving of that tiramisu. FYI, there’s a 10% service charge.

We found this restaurant by accident when visiting Eastbourne. We nearly walked past thinking at first glance. It was a shop. spotting a menu, which looked appetising we went in. Inside is quite eclectic with local pottery etc A simple seating arrangement, slightly rustic, much like some of the items on the menu. Warming welcome from the one server who knows the menu extremely well. One allergy, Soya, no issue. Black pepper, not one they had come across, but in talks with the chef, most thinks could be adapted. Excellent pizza, which was not one I tried before. My partner had Tempura seafood, slightly disappointed at the batter slightly too thick. The third meal was a mozzarella salad and bruschetta, Priced very reasonably. I would love. to go back if in town again

We visited for the first time today for our wedding anniversary. The food was fantastic, so good in fact that I accidentally ate some of each course before taking the photographs! The service was perfect and the waitress was both polite and attentive, she couldn't have done a better job. We will definitely be returning soon.
