A colleague and ate here while attending a course. The waitress greeted us warmly and asked where we wanted to sit and then quickly brought menus and sorted our drinks. We chose starters and mains both of which were very nice. Several regulars were in and I can see why. Highly recommend

If you are ever in Eastbourne you have got to go to this place for more than one meal. My partner and I were in town for just 2 nights we went both nights. Food is incredible, atmosphere great and service was spot on.

This is a really top Italian restaurant. I’ve lived in Eastbourne for over 10 years and my first visit, but will come back more frequently now I know. Service is excellent, food and menu perfect, the restaurant theming is really good and sets a lovely ambience. Well worth a visit, but I recommend booking as its very popular.

Shall definitely be back soon
