We were fortunate to be able to get a take-away from this restaurant in May and promised ourselves that we would go back for a sit-down meal once everything settled down.
We are so pleased that we went on Thursday evening. Obviously the restaurant has been changed so that tables are more spaced out. Luca and his staff are fully aware of all the hygiene requirements and were wearing the necessary protective coverings to keep customers safe. They were also wiping down the menus, cruet sets, tables, etc., every time they were used. So we definitely felt very safe.Yet again the food was first class, as was the service. My husband chose the Veal Milanese whilst I had the Tagliatelle Mare e Monti, both of which were delicious, together with a bottle of the house white wine.
We had hoped to have room for a dessert but the portions were so generous that we were too full. Perhaps next time?It was lovely to be back again, and good to see the restaurant busy. You obviously need to book particularly with the reduced capacity for diners, but you will not be disappointed.

I would recommend the mussels, bruschetta and king prawn pasta. Good value and friendly service, too.

This popularItalian restaurant was as good as always. Lovely food safe social distancing. Restaurant well aired.

I don't tend to eat in Italian restaurants (outside Italy) as I am Italian but this caught my eyes. They have a big menu, so there is a lot of choice for everyone.
As a starter (didn't a pic) I had salmon, prawns and avocado salad. It was very well presented.The main was (see pic) monkfish (I never ate it before) with clams in a saffron sauce.
I had no dessert as I was full. Next time! ;-) The staff was friendly and the service was fast.

A great evening. The food and service is consistently excellent here.
We have been reluctant to eat out since restaurants have re-opened, but very pleased we chose this one. The restaurant is always immaculate, but the staff are taking even extra care in constantly cleaning everything after use, down to the salad dressing bottles ! We watched this with interest, and it gave us a good deal of comfort. The mussels and pasta were delicious , and the tiramisu has got to be the best around, although the thing we love about this place is that there is nothing on the menu that disappoints. The waiters can't do enough for you, no matter how busy the restaurant is. We are pleased they are back, and delighted we decided to try it again, and won't hesitate to return.

nice to be back . As good as it ever was and we felt totally safe. We both had pizzas and they were as near to perfect as you can get. The deserts were out of this world . And they always make you feel very special with a drink on the house to cap things off.

Visited on a Friday night just after lockdown. Great meal and service at family friendly prices. Strongly recommended as the best family restaurant in and around Eastbourne.

We returned to this lovely, family restaurant after 3 months of lockdown, and we were nothing but impressed. Fresh, beautifully cooked food, excellent service and reassuring measures put in place to ensure a safe family meal. 5 stars!

Ventured out since lockdown last night ,felt very safe in this restaurant, nicely spaced out tables, food was excellent, my husband said it was the best steak he's had for years

Such beautiful food with a great atmosphere, my favourite place to eat in Eastbourne! The profiteroles are my favourite!!

We visit frequently and absolutely love it. Lots of choice on the menu and we’ve enjoyed everything we’ve ordered. Service is consistently good. You can tell a lot about a place by how busy they are - we always get a seat but it’s certainly a hotspot with locals!
Highly recommend.

Great takeaway just needed a bit more sauce. Maybe separate carton would be good. Will use again soon

I left a review of this restaurant a year ago - in which I gave it a 5 Star rating. P&M is my favourite restaurant - in Eastbourne (or anywhere) for reasons you can read in my earlier review.s
My wife and I, and our family, frequently use the restaurant for family get-togethers (birthdays, anniversaries, Mothers and Fathers Days, etc) and for days when we just fancy an evening out. So we were saddened when the restaurant had to close due to the Covid-19 lockdown.However, I was delighted when I read that it was due to re-open for takeaway and delivery orders. It re-opened for the first time yesterday - and I was one of the first customers to place an order. I work close to the restaurant so popped in just after it opened at 4.00pm. Gian Luca and his staff were already busy taking orders. I was pleased to see that they had taken all necessary precautions to protect staff and customers with appropriate PPE and social distancing measures in place.
Anyway, I placed an order for delivery later that evening. The menu is necessarily limited, of course, but all your favourite pasta and pizza dishes are available. I ordered a couple of side salads, two spaghetti carbonaras, and two deserts - and a beer for me. (You can also order wine by the bottle if you wish.)There is a £3.00 delivery charge and they deliver up to 2.5 miles from the restaurant, and I live right at the limit, but I was assured they would deliver - and sure enough, just after 8.00pm, the delivery arrived. It was well packaged - with separate bags for cold and hot items. The carbonara was still hot - and as tasty as I remember it. It was an excellent portion size. The salad was fresh and chilled and the beer was cold. The desserts were excellent. We will certainly order a delivery again soon.
Just be aware that it's not as cheap as a standard takeaway - my bill was £44 including delivery - but the food is so much better. Whether you're a regular visitor to P&M or not, have a night off from the cooking and order a takeaway. You won't regret it. You don't have to visit the restaurant, you can order over the phone.I wish Gian Luca and his staff all the best at this difficult time - and look forward to visiting the restaurant with all my family again in better times.

This is my favourite restaurant in Eastbourne area. Amazing prices. There is a superb set menu as well as a la cartel and a special price in the early part of the week. It is a great place to go with friends as well as suitable for family celebrations. I alsohave a Meads card and they give you 19% off the whole bill. How's that for value !

Me and my husband made a last minute decision to go out on valentines eve , we didn't think we would get a table anywhere really but tried our luck and rang pomodoro up . They had a space with just over an hours wait , so we booked . I have eaten there a couple of times but my husband hadn't. I’m vegan and I’d seen online that they had quite a few tasty options which was brilliant . Actually nice to have a few different options to choose from instead of just one or two. Husband had steak and i had a vegan margarita, we shared fries and I had chocolate torte for pudding with ice cream. Probably the best meal I’ve had , made so much better by having the choices as I mentioned and my husband said it tops his meals out too !! Looking forward to next time , keep up the good work .

We had eaten at La Locando next door in the past and tried Pomodoro for a change. Neither are disappointing. The pasta and pizza at Pomodoro are very good and the service was excellent.

I can't believe it took me so long to try this place!
We went before seeing a show on a Saturday night. The restaurant was heaving but they still managed to seat us. There were loads of staff which meant we got served really quickly. The pizza arrived in great time and tasted amazing!
There are some great vegan options - I had pizza topped with a tomato sauce, vegan cheese, mushrooms, rocket and walnuts (with lashings of very spicy oil - much more potent than at Zizzi's!) followed by apple strudel served with vegan ice cream.
The service charge isn't automatically applied to the bill either, which I always like as it means you're more able to choose your own tip!
Overall we had a really lovely experience and would highly recommend.

I have eaten here a few times and the food is always excellent; tasty, hot and plentiful. The restaurant is big and can get busy especially at the weekend. This means it can get quite loud and noisy. This visit I was part of a large party who ate downstairs. The waiting staff served us all quickly and efficiently. Food was well presented and hot, no comprises for a large group. The staff were on call all evening, remained courteous and helpful, happy to join in the banter but still being professional. Well done Team PeM! We had a great time!

Used to be the best restaurant in Eastbourne but see full review for reasons why it’s not anymore in my opinion.
Firstly, a waiter that previously got our order wrong chose to make us feel awkward by firstly pointing our table out whilst I sat there watching him do it. I then smiled as did my mother in law to try and make whole thing less embarrassing to which he deliberately ignored (eye contact given and a dismissive stare).
Secondly, we ordered 2 starters of Bruschetta and we both got about a half a teaspoon worth of mozzarella - beings it cost about a pound for a whole one it seemed extremely stingy when it costs nearly a tenner.
The menu has not changed in 20+ years and we have all got a bit bored now so time to look at different restaurants for a while.
On a positive, the rest of the meals were outstandingly good and rest of staff were fab as always. The manager took time to come and say hello and goodbye.

Had a great experience valentine's Day, we didn't have a reservation but was pleasantly accommodated. Food was delicious, great 😋🍕🍝. The staff were very diligent and friendly. Would highly recommend this place for a great night out.

We were in early Saturday evening, 5:30 before seeing Paul Carrack. The place was heaving but as per previous visits we couldn’t complain about anything. The food is always very good and no matter how busy they are nothing suffers as a consequence. We’ll be back every time we visit Eastbourne!!

This restaurant is a gem excellent hot food great value for money£ and service is spot on. Recommend Chicken escalope and Milanese. No wonder so busy.

In my opinion Pomodoro e Mozzarella is the best restaurant in Eastbourne. It is a spacious very stylish looking restaurant with eating areas on the ground floor & also basement. For me, I don’t like to eat in the basement section, the upstairs is much better. The waiting staff are friendly and always very busy. Over the years I have noticed the same staff which I believe is a good sign of staff wanting to remain in a business. There is a well presented menu with a large selection of dishes - pizzas, fish, meat and vegan. The restaurant is always full when I visit so it is worth booking a table either by phoning or popping in - it isn’t possible on their website. It can be quite noisy with everyone chatting but as the evening draws on, as people leave, it quietens down. In my experience the food has always been delicious especially the zucchini starter. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will return.

Me and my partner and our baby visited on Thursday. I had the chicken spinach and Gorgonzola pizza it’s the best pizza I have ever had and I own a mobile pizza business
Can’t wait to go back and have more pizza we’ll done to the team
Very friendly and so polite thank you

We have been coming for past 17 years and every time we come with family and friends and business associates, the food and the service have been excellent.
Thank you to Luca and the whole team and waiters and waitress.all of you make it an amazing place to come and enjoy meals.
