I am Italian and I am very fussy about my Italian food as I cook a lot at home, so when I choose to go to an Italian restaurant I expect quite a good standard. Well I think anema e core always surprises me and surpasses my expectations. Every time I go, there is something new to try as well as the expected menu. Today I had a beautiful rice and lentils soup to start with, which reminds me of my mum's soup, absolutely delicious!!! Then I picked the trofie with seafood, again absolutely tasty and full of flavour. To end a beautiful meal we chose a ricotta and pear tart, which was delicate but at the same time rich in flavour, achieving a surprisingly soave taste. We also had a cannolo siciliano, which was delicious.
It goes without saying that the warmth and welcoming from lia and her staff it's second to none. The restaurant was full and yet the food arrived on time and always with a smile or a nice comment!!!! Well done, please do not ever change... It's so rare to find restaurants like yours!!!! Grazie per il pranzo speciale and for the lovely card!!!! Un bacio xxxx

Visited for first time since they moved from smaller restaurant last year. Most impressed with service, delicious food & atmosphere. My pumpkin ravioli was superb & portions generous! We'll be back.

A rainy day in Eastbourne brightened by the smiling face of our waiter & the good food provided. Vegetable soup good,Arancini very good & plentiful prawns in the seafood cocktail.
Bolognese tagiatelle particularly tasty,Ravioli very meaty with perhaps an over generous butter sauce,& the Spaghetti Scarpariello perfect.
Overall a very pleasant time was had by all.

Really reasonably priced. Staff were lovely and really attentive. Food was awesome!! Amazing choice - took us a while to narrow down our options!! Great drinks. We sat right by the big traditional pizza oven and it was really interesting to watch! If you are in the area definitely go here but be sure to book first!

From first contact with Lia she was very helpful and decorated the table for my sister in law and supplied a birthday card signed by all the staff which was a lovely touch for the evening.

One of the best Italian Restaurants we have been to. Lovely food at great prices. The Pizzas are the best which are cooked in a proper pizza oven in the restaurant. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Ignore the outside of the restaurant which looks a bit run down as the inside is fantastic. Only the red wines could have been better as they lacked flavour.

First visit to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Very friendly and attentive staff who make you feel at ease when going over the extensive menu to find out what all the dishes entail. The decor is how you imagine a typical Italian restaurant to be, the table settings are basic no frills or tablecloths which would in my opinion would have enhanced the restaurant greatly. The wine list has a large selection with varying prices. The food was really delicious, I had the deep fried calzone to start which was very large but very very tasty. For the main course I had the gnocchi with Italian sausage and again it was well cooked and presented. I had just enough room for tiramisu which was one of the best I've tried in Eastbourne. All in all a great meal and will look forward to going again with friends

Went in February for my birthday .Was surprised to see a birthday balloon and card had been put on our table,thought this was such a kind gesture. We all enjoyed our meals and had such a good evening. The family who own this restaurant are such kind,warm friendly people. You don't get the welcome you get here in other restaurants in Eastbourne.

Under the previous incarnation - La Cantina - the restaurant never quite worked. It was cold in winter and the entrance was dark and uninviting. The couple who ran it were lovely and it was a shame that they coud not get it to work.
Under the new owners, a Neopolitan family, the atmosphere and warmth are there for all to see. Lia works front of house, while mum and dad slave away in the upstairs kitchen. Lia's fiancée works the pizza oven and keeps the customers happy. The menu is varied and includes recipes passed down through the generations of her family.

Best Italian meal I've had in the UK in years. Gorgeous food and wonderful service from this independent, authentic gem of a restaurant. Feels like you're actually in Italy.

This visit was for my boyfriend's birthday and I could not have picked a better restaurant. So refreshing to visit an authentic family-run Italian restaurant! The food and wine were delicious and such great value. The staff were so accommodating and went out of their way to make sure our evening was brilliant! Thank you for such a lovely evening!

We dediced to book this restaurant at the last minute. I have to say that we do not regret to do so. We have had a chance to taste authentic Italian flavours in amazingly friendly environment. The food, service and athmosphere was simply divine.

Excellent Italian food served by friendly Italian family and staff. Food is cooked like it is in Italy. They really care in what is served and that you are made to feel welcome.

Spent the weekend in Eastbourne & booked a table after reading the reviews on here. I had a delicious pizza while my partner had steak, which he enjoyed. The staff were lovely & there was a lovely atmosphere to the place. We will come back next time we're in Eastbourne

We have been here several times as a couple and with our small kids. The staff always go out of their way to make the meal special and the food is simple but authentic and delicious. Thoroughly recommended!

After reading all the fabulous reviews, we booked to eat here on Saturday night, as we were in Eastbourne for one night only. My sea bass dish was ONE fillet. My husbands chicken in mushroom sauce was more like chicken soup. The roast potatoes were not "crunchy" and the courgettes were soggy and expensive for what they were. The staff are lovely and friendly but the food was disappointing. I will not be returning. Usually, at the end of a meal you are asked if you enjoyed it. This was not asked of us here, as I suspect they don't want to hear the answer !!!!

What more could you want?! Great value too! Had the perfect meal and the Sauvignon Blank was delicious

Popped in for one of the lunch deals this restaurant offers. We opted for a pizza and a soft drink for £7 each. Pizzas were delicious! The dough was soft and light and usually I'm not keen on pizza crust however the crusts here are amazing. I couldn't finish my pizza as it was big and took my remaining pizza home in a box. Service excellent. Will definitely visit again.
