Visited this evening for our wedding anniversary meal, the choice on the menu was excellent, and the food lived up to expectations, service was great we would definitely recommend, and will visit again if we come to Eastbourne

We had a lovely meal, well served and great value for money. We booked and went on a Saturday evening, so busy and lively all evening, but all went very smoothly.

We took friends here for a birthday dinner. Everything was excellent - the ambience, the quality and presentation of our meal, the professionalism of the staff. A thoroughly enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price.

I can't believe a year has passed since we were last here ... again treated by some friends to dinner to celebrate our birthdays!
This time it was a Sunday evening and despite it being Mothers' Day the staff were still friendly, welcoming and smiling. My husband had battered prawns for starters followed by veal milanese, whilst I had seared scallops followed by veal in a mushroom/cream sauce. All of which were delicious. Yet again we didn't have space for any desert although one of our group had tiramisu which looked lovely. Maybe next time??
Hopefully it won't be a year before we're back again.

This was our first visit to La Locanda Del Duca.;We were impressed,in fact very much so.. The staff are polite and friendly,attentive but not intrusive. Within a minute after finishing a course one would appear at the table,but at no time did you feel that they were hovering. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the wine was all that I asked for.This is definitely somewhere to go for that occasion.

We had a lovely family meal for my parent’s 60th Wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious and our waiter Acacio was very attentive and thoroughly entertaining. He made the already perfect visit, even more enjoyable. At the end of the meal, my parents were given a complimentary dessert with a candle in and an anniversary card that really made their day. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant and the staff (especially Acacio) and will be back....soon!

La Locanda always make you feel welcome. It feels like you are dining a friends house.
My wife had the Salmon and I had the Lasagna. Both exquisite dishes.We are always well looked after and have eaten there many times.However, it doesn't seem to matter if it's your first visit or like us, regular visitors, the service is always the same - excellent

As I work away I eat out a lot, chains, franchise and privately ran. All cuisines.
This Italian is fantastic! The food, the service and atmosphere is up there with the best.
Best part is it’s reasonably priced and NOt a rip off. Highly recommended

We recently had lunch at La Locanda and it was a very happy experience. We went to celebrate my 9 year old's birthday and were accompanied by her Great Auntie. We couldn't have asked for more friendly and accommodating service. My daughter was also delighted to receive special birthday wishes and felt very grown up indeed. The food was superb: I had the seafood stew and my aunt had the monk fish in white wine sauce. The girls enjoyed their pasta. I would recommend this restaurant very much if you like to eat good food in a relaxed atmosphere while feeling looked after.

La Locanda is one of the more “up-market” Italian restaurants in Eastbourne – as reflected in the quality of its food but also its prices. The shared warm goat’s cheese starter was appetising and contrasted nicely with the sweet pears and caramelised balsamic. Our monkfish and seabass were fresh, nicely cooked and accompanied by seasonal vegetables. Prosecco set the scene and a bottle of Montepulciano was pleasant although slightly overpriced. And that summarises our experience really: the food was good but we’ve eaten better Italian food at less cost elsewhere.

It is very very difficult to find fault with this first class Italian restaurant.
..... err there is no sea view!Otherwise, the menus are interesting, and vast. The cooking is expert. The tastes are perfect. The wine list is Italian but wide ranging. The prices are good value for money and the lunchtime "specials" are excellent with a quality choice at reasnable prices.
Sunday lunch offers British roasts and the Italian menu.The staff are friendly, helpful and professional.
Perfection!!!!!!!

We ate from the 3 course set menu on a Saturday evening - my husband especially liked the king crabs starter and I liked the veal in a mushroom and cream sauce. Plentiful vegetables were served with the meat dish. I only had room for ice cream for desert but my husband thought the tiramisu was one of the best he had eaten. We had a glass of wine each and a limoncello surprise at the end of the meal. the restaurant was busy with a couple of large parties, but the service was very attentive. I would recommend this restaurant and hope to visit again if in the area.

My children, uncle and I had a lovely pre Christmas lunch together.
Good food and great hospitality. The traditional ice cream desert was very enjoyable.

A wet Tuesday night is not the most lively in Eastbourne, but even so the restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere and all the staff were charming and friendly. The food was good too! Salmon followed by calves liver was really good as was my colleagues mussels and veal. Good menu and good value.

We had a meal just as it opened on a Friday evening at 5.30pm. Starting with king prawns and calamari. The calamari, in particular was plentiful and delicious. I had the spaghetti vongole in a tomato base, which was good. My husband had the tagliatelle in a lemon and saffron sauce with king prawns. It was rich and creamy and he said it was one of the best pasta dishes he had tasted and we have been to Italy a few times!
Service was excellent - attentive and friendly. The restaurant does do a £19.95 2-course dinner deal including any pasta, risotto or gnocchi dish but actually the dishes were about the same price. Pasta dishes were extremely good value for the quality of the cooking and ingredients.We will return!

First visit and wasn't disappointed. Great atmosphere (lighting/music) with very attentive staff that made you feel you were part of the family. We all had different starters/mains/desert and every dish was cooked to perfection.

We had a fantastic meal here Christmas Eve 2017. Very helpful and attentive staff without being intrusive. All three courses of our meal were exceptionally tasty and beautifully cooked. The ambiance is great, tables spaced perfectly, background music at perfect pitch. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent food always! Good service usually and a pleasure to come here. The reason for my just less than perfect rate is we booked for 12 o’clock and when we arrived they said they were not ready for us as they usually start at 12:30. However that little glitch will not prevent us returning.
