  “Very nice Italian restaurant. Visited on a Sunday lunch and it was packed! Restaurant had a large selection of the usual pastas and meat. The spaghetti with seafood and tomato sauce was very nice, and big prawns too. The tomato sauce was amazing and good to soak up the (free) bread offered. The tagliatelle with ham was equally as good and good sized portion. Slight disappointment on the veal - nothing bad but nothing amazing either. Was also offered and accepted a shot of limoncelo, nice way to finish off the meal.”

  “The food was amazing and we really enjoyed it. We will definitely return next time we are in Eastbourne. A huge thankyou to the chef and all kitchen staff. All of the staff work really hard and are incredibly busy, but they make you feel like you are the only customers in the restaurant. Very professional and very friendly. The whole restaurant is spotless and beautifully decorated with a welcoming atmosphere. Many thanks for a great experience.”

  “La Locanda Del Duca was so beautiful recommended by one of our taxi drivers on our first day in Eastbourne and we left it for the last night. It turned out to be an absolutely lovely way to top off a weekend. The ambience invited you to slow down, the music reminded you of Italy and times gone by, the table setting, the service - everything prepared you for a fantastic meal! We opted for the set menu, one of us being vegetarian. The veggie options were well rounded with a Vegan menu available. The prosciutto and melon could have been my entire meal it was so good. The tomatoes on the Tricolore salad were delicious. My Penne della festa had the most tender strips and a flavorful sauce. The Cannelloni spinaci e ricotta looked amazing!! And he loved every bite. If you go for the ice cream try the coffee. The tiramisu looked delicious and my partner ate every last bit. I finished my meal with a macchiato that was so good I wish I had asked what coffee they were using. My partner quite liked the Chianti. The service was friendly and fast moving without rushing. They matched their pace to ours. And to finish the evening they offered us a limoncello. It was nice to be surrounded by a mature mix of people, it made for a lovely date with fabulous food. Highly recommend.”

  “We had a lovely meal overall. The food was absolutely outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The cocktails were also fantastic and definitely worth trying. Our server was friendly, cheerful, and attentive, which made the dining experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, there was one gentleman working who kept hovering around our table. We found him to be rude, arrogant, and unwelcoming, which made us feel uncomfortable throughout the evening. I also speak Italian, and he made a comment in Italian, seemingly assuming I wouldn’t understand him. Hearing that was extremely disappointing and made us feel even more unwelcome. It was a real shame because it took away from what would otherwise have been an excellent experience. The quality of the food and drinks was exceptional, and we’d happily return for those alone. We just hope the customer service is more welcoming and respectful next time”

  “I have been away from Eastbourne for 12 years but used to love going here. I was in the town this week prior to moving back and thought I would give my old favourite a go. It is still a really great traditional Italian restaurant with really great staff , an excellent menu and a lovely atmosphere, a dining room that is full of people having a really good time. I had calves liver with sage which was delicious and an Affogato al caffe ( vanilla ice cream with an espresso shot ) which was presented beautifully with the coffee in a Moka pot. Highly recommended.”

  “We had an absolutely wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant. The service was excellent from start to finish, with staff who were incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food was nothing short of perfection—beautifully presented and full of flavour, with every dish clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. The atmosphere was equally impressive, creating a relaxed and comfortable setting that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We never felt rushed and were able to fully enjoy the evening. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning.”

  “We had a nice time eating here. The atmosphere is really fine from the moment we entered the restaurant. The waiters took care of us since the beginning and offered limoncello after our meals, which was really tasty. It’s a good place to visit if you like italian cuisine👌🏻”

  “Had one of the most delicious meals ever, from the minute we arrived we were warmly welcomed & taken to our table. The service & food was exceptional I cannot fault it in any way. The zucchini frites was the best I’ve ever had! Light, crisp & moorish. I wish I lived nearer.”
