Latest Reviews
We have been to this restaurant before and the food ,service and friendly welcome are just as good as always. It is a pity that we don't live closer to Eastbourne otherwise we would adopt this restaurant as our local ( and more frequent )treat.
Current social distancing measures were well observed with plenty of space between tables and well placed plastic screens which did not detract from the atmosphere.
Now to the food. The fixed price menu was for the quality reasonable at £23.50 for 3 courses. The minestrone soup was so flavoursome and the veal escalope delicious in the authentic Italian way. Desserts were also very good. Certainly looking to return in the not too distant future!!

I can recommend this restaurant to everyone who love delicious food, friendly service and peaceful atmosphere. I have visited this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. Always have friendly welcome from all staff and the food is to die for. During this difficult time they did very well with the social distancing, tables have enough space, as per recommendation from government. Everywhere you can find hand sanitisers and staff sanitise everything what is need it to be. Will be back very soon.

Food is nice but really wasn't that stunning for the price put forward. Staff were friendly and well mannered but was disappointed that the rack of lamb wasn't as tender or succulent. The breading mostly fell off, wasn't exactly crispy so maybe the chef changed compared to the previous reviews I've read here...
Even the presentation was different and felt more like a diner, having the veg and potatoes come on different plates. For a restaurant placed on the higher end, I did expect better plating, so this was quite odd.
The 2014 Brunello Di Montalcino was the biggest highlight. But quite ironic when the wine outshines the food.
Had the tiramisu, custard tart and creme brulee to try, and they're nice. Nothing bad or to die for, but as you would expect it to be.

Excellent food, excellent service but should have got the bill right the first time! The waitress got a bit shirty when we explained that she had worked the bill out incorrectly.

This was our first visit to Locanda since the Covid crisis started but apart from all the procedures in place to protect both visitors and staff nothing has really changed. The food was as good as ever, the staff were very friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere despite screens, masks etc. If you are thinking of eating out in Eastbourne and looking for quality Italian food at a very reasonable price then Locanda is the place for you.

This is a smart looking restaurant in the town centre . It was very busy on the midweek evening we were there and it was during the hot weather spell so the aircon when it was eventually turned on was appreciated Tables were quite close together but there were Perspex dividers between some of the tables We ordered Parma ham and melon followed by veal Milanese and spaghetti . The food was good but quite pricey and even higher than some similar London restaurants

The food was very good but some of the staff ie the male waiters seemed very grumpy. Unlike our waitress who was friendly and helpful. They all more masks which was reassuring but large plastic menus were not sanitised between guests so not good. We were given our bill before we had finished eating so felt we were obliged to leave despite there being several other tables with people still eating

We went to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was most enjoyable. We both had the set 3-course menu which offered a good choice and excellent value. We certainly didn't regret it. There was also a good wine list from which we chose a very acceptable Valpolicella. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient despite the restaurant being busy all evening. We would certainly go back when next in Eastbourne.

We were lucky enough to find this gem of a restaurant during a recent stay in the area. We had our final night's meal here and it was perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful. We felt safe with tables properly distanced and hand gel and masks. The food was delicious and the set course menu was great value. I had the veal followed by an amazing pancake filled with cream and amaretti biscuits and topped with fruit (diet starting now!).

Dinner last night Friday 11th August.
Not been so excited by a menu for quite some time and found it hard to make our decision because I wanted to tase everything. The food was EXCEPTIONAL, LOVED IT. The chef is obviously passionate about food as you can be. Our waitress was informative and friendly. We will definitely be back before we leave next weekend. We had
scollops - calamariVeal. - King prawn risotto
Shared the Filled Pancake amereto & berries.
Thank you.
