Anema e Core in Eastbourne

Great pizza! We've been coming here for ages and we've never been disappointed. The food is great and the staff is more than friendly. It's the best Italian restaurant in town and you can find the traditional food in the original Italian ambience. I very much recommend it.

I had been before and remembered a cosy place but it didn’t seem the same I booked days ahead and informed them it was my daughters birthday and I wanted a window table. Neither request was acknowledged

Durante una visita ad Eastbourne, siamo stati, dopo avere letto le recensioni su TripAdvisor, in questa Trattoria. Devo dire che abbiamo trovato il locale pieno, l'accoglienza è stata molto calda. Abbiamo scelto la carbonara, scelta azzeccata. La pasta fresca era cotta al dente, come tradizione vuole. La delizia al limone, tipico dolce della costiera amalfitana, era fresca e molto buona. Complimenti ragazzi, ci rivediamo al prossimo tour in uk.

Siamo tornati, dopo circa un anno, in questa Trattoria. Siamo stati veramente bene. La Carbonara, autentica così come il cacio e pepe. Lista vini completa. Come sempre mai delusi

Very disappointing. After reading the reviews and the blurb on their website we made two bookings for a couple of days apart. After the first visit we cancelled the second. Everything was undercooked - al dente is fine but our food didn't get that far. The calamari were pale and chewy, the ravioli was too firm and the tomato sauce masked the flavour of the ricotta, and the risotto was quite firm and not very flavoursome. We had high hopes but these were not met. Probably the worst Italian we have eaten it.

Lo consiglio, abbiamo cenato pesce tutto buonissimo e fresco... Giuseppe ci accolti con garbo e di una gentilezza umica

Location ideal for where I was staying so I decided to book. Although we only had Margherita pizza and chips to share as we had had a long day travelling, it was delicious. A real pizza which was made fresh. Service was friendly and the place must be popular as it was busy really early on in the evening. Recommend booking beforehand so that you are not disappointed.

I usually order food from here for takeaway and it’s always 10/10 and their Gluten Free food is also amazing which is such a relief when ordering food as a group so we can order from one place instead of multiple! Genuinely authentic Italian food, their pizza is my favourite. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in Eastbourne looking for a good Italian!

I've visited Anema e Core a couple of times for lunch & have meant to leave a review before now. It's everything you could want from a small family run Italian Restaurant. Lovely owners & excellent nicely prepared fresh & delicious food. Highly recommended!

We visited Eastbourne and had read some great reviews about this place. This was the busiest restaurant in town and now we can understand why. Food was authentic Italian cuisine with homemade breads and pastas. All dishes tasted amazing and the staff were very accommodating,...

We were out in Eastbourne and wanted lunch. We thought we'd try somewhere new. A TA search came up with Anema e Core and showed great reviews, so we booked. It was a quiet mid-week day so needn't have. However, as it was right up...

This is a true Italian restaurant ran by a family: dad making pizza and daughter waitressing. All pasta is homemade and the strozapreti Della nonna were delicious. Great pizzas too and loved the mini-arancinis. Friendly attentive service. Really good value for money too.

Really friendly welcome and amazing food and excellent value for money. Highly recommend the ravioli dish. Will definately return.

We walked along looking in restaurant windows & saw a “typical” Italian menu in a restaurant that was quiet being only 18.30. We enquired as to whtpetger there was room fir two of us * to our astonishment were asked to wait while they checked...

What can I add to other reviews? The food and service here are fantastic. Lovely waitress who talked us through the menu. We shared the min arancini and parmigiana bites for starters - delicious, fantastic value and substantial enough for a starter. The home made...

I was looking for a good place to go for dinner in Eastbourne and checked out TripAdvisor. I filtered on Italian yet I wasn't looking for Pizza. This restaurant came out really well on the reviews for both the quality of the food and the...

Again it was a fantastic dinner. Everything perfect, delicious food and the staff are really qualified and friendly

Very friendly welcome and service. The pasta and the pizza were very tasty but the garlic bread was divine!

Lovely warm welcome. Great Italian food. Excellent value for menu. Highly recommend a visit. You can taste the various herbs/spices which are well blended. It was full with a constant stream of people coming to the door. They do takeaway too.

Had a takeaway pizza from Anema e core. Friendly restaurant right next to the sea, run by a neapolitan family. Pizza smelt and tasted deliciously authentic. Will definitely return and recommend.

Myself and my partner visited for dinner and the food was incredible. We had lots of starters and a calzone for main and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was absolutely fantastic.

Very pleasant staff and prompt and friendly service .Good choice of drinks and food reasonable price..maybe go for bigger meal next time

We had the best Italian meal here that we have had for a long time. Fresh, homemade pasta, tasty well prepared sauces and fabulous handmade garlic bread. Could not fault any part of this wonderful meal. We had Rigatoni Ragu di Agnello (Lamb) and Pappardelle...

Just happened upon Anema e Core at early lunch time yesterday, liked the look of the menu posted outside and went in......... We had clearly misread the menu, but what was served up were a couple of superb wholegrain pizzas. Nice atmosphere & fast pleasant...

An excellent, family-run, dog-friendly, Italian restaurant with a wide menu that catered very well for my gluten-free wife. She had seafood pasta, I had the octopus. Both delicious. The chocolate tart and tarta della nonna also slipped down well. However, seeing what a couple on...

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here - all of the food was excellent - as was the house red - and the service was quick and everyone seemed happy and relaxed. Definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of proper Italian food and hospitality

This was the first time visited the new premises in Terminus Road On entering wes so pleased to see it was a smaller unit than Bolton Road Where we felt they loss the small Italian atmosphere. The food has always been excellent and now we...

We are a Italian family. For the first time in UK, in 5 years time we had real Italian food. Starters were amazing and pasta cooked al dente perfect. We felt like we were in Italy. Service was excellent. We will return next time. Thank...

Excellent food, the staff are very kind attentive and professional. Congratulations to the chef and the pizza chef ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cheerful and attentive waiting staff looked after us well at Anema e Core. We had some really hot focaccia and interesting Sicilian specialities, followed by a couple of excellent pasta dishes. A nice place that I'd happily return to. Do book: people were queuing outside...

I had lunch here on Saturday with 2 friends, it was quite possibly one of the best meals I've had in years, we started with frittura di pesce (mixed seafood), mini arancini and garlic bread with a beautiful tomato and gorgonzola dip, the portions were...

This restaurant is perfect. From the friendly welcome, unobtrusive service and simply beautiful food, we loved everything about this family run restaurant. We started with the antipasto and focaccina and dips. They were both gorgeous. Mr L then opted for a Calzone and I had...

What a great find. Brilliant service & Food and very tasty and high quality. Staff are lovely 1st time visit but when we are back in Eastbourne this will be our go to restaurant. Keep up the high standards & Reasonable prices. The biggest Calzone...

Me and my partner are now regulas at Trattoria Anema e Core and every time we eat here the food gets better and better. The pasta is freshly homemade and cooked "Al dente" like a proper Italian pasta should be. The pizza is just Amazing!...

I have been eating here already twice and I feel it is the only restaurant I would really recommend in Eastbourne. The dishes are authentic Italian food and I should know, being Italian myself. Great and welcoming service, really lively atmosphere. Many clients are regular...

Visited with a group of friends on recommendation and can honestly say that it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had! The restaurant were fully booked but managed to seat our party of 5 outside. They did ask that we only order...

Hadn't been there before but booked on the basis of the restaurant website. We were made to feel welcome on arrival and received very good service from the waiting staff. The food was excellent and the service was just right. The menu is not overwhelming...

There are many Italian restaurants in Eastbourne & this was our first trip there. I did some research before we arrived & think we chose pretty well....On 15th June, our first of 4 nights in Eastbourne along with our friends we went to Anema e...

Booked a table here on a friend's recommendation. Nice atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff. And the food was all devine. Best Italian food I have ever had.

Amazing food, beautiful family service and relaxing. You really won’t find a better Italian restaurant in Eastbourne.

What a lovely experience from this family run restaurant. Everything from the efficient service from the daughter, top quality pizza cooked by papa and lovely fresh pasta cooked by mama. Each course was faultless and top quality, rounded off by a complimentary limoncello at the...

Excellent service from this family establishment. Aperol Spritz were delicious, only drinks this time but the food smells delicious

Dog friendly restaurant both inside and outside. Very welcoming with great waitresses. Good menu with plenty of choice, reasonably priced. We had calamari for starters which was nice and pasta for mains. The food was well portioned and tasted delicious. Service was excellent, food was...

Terrible restaurant with poor food and unhelpful staff. There are lots of better restaurants in Eastbourne than this one.

Amazing food, excellent service and fantastic atmosphere. A genuine Italian experience with simply the best food! Thomas wants to say a big thank you for having Bertie as well!!!

Rally nice food, friendly service and good Covid measures in place. Visited in the evening with two children and they were very accommodating.

We will definitely return there! Great place, great service, delicious food! Their BURRATA pizza was the most delicious pizza I’d tried yet!

The friendly welcome, genuinely Italian ambience and quite simply the best food have been successfully transplanted to their new location. Whether you enjoy the pavement cafe culture a stone’s throw from the seafront or sit inside and watch Mr and Mrs B at the ovens...

We haven’t been for a while as we have been living away from Eastbourne, but as excellent as we remembered!! Thanks for a lovely evening

The staff were so welcoming we felt like long lost friends. I understand the family run restaurant recently relocated to this location. So much thought has gone into every last detail even down to the crockery which had patterns of Amalfi blue.It goes without saying the food was really high quality and produced with love. It was everything we would expect from a top notch Italian Trattoria.If visiting Eastbourne and you want a genuinely warm welcome and to eat authentic Italian food Anema e core is a must

Loved the new menu and location. We tried Linguine alle vongole and pappardelle with a lovely duck ragu. Both delicious! Everything was exceptionally good and friendly service.

Oh my goodness, we have just had a Calzone each , so full up, and really good ,very easy to place an order, and pick it up, thank you .

Fortunatamente, grazie al servizio di Click and Collect, abbiamo continuato a mangiare il buon cibo Italiano in città. Ottimo come sempre, anche grazie al packaging che ha consentito di conservare tutto il loro sapore.

Abbiamo, visto IL lockdown, ordinato la nostra cena in takeaway. Ottima la pizza, prodotti di ottima qualita. Abbiamo preso la carbonara.... incredible., I calzoni fritti.....sembrava di reserve a Napoli. Grazie Anema e core.

We regularly go to Anema e Core. It is run by an Italian family who are experts in the restaurant trade. They remember the names of their customers and individual preferences. For example I like extra garlic and they always remember this when taking the order. We have used their take away service weekly during lockdown and the food is just as good when you eat at home with very good sized portions.We can't wait till they open again and we can eat in the restaurant.

I ordered a takeaway through the click&collect on the website yesterday and it was everything delicious! The Arancini and Calzone fritto were sooo yummy! You have to try it!

I am a regular at Anema e Core and I love the atmosphere there ! This time I decided to try their take away option. It was amazing as always!!! I ordered on the web site with the Click and Collect option, easy and quick! When I got home the food was still nice and hot , the packaging was impeccable. Pizza Friarielli e Salsiccia absolutely amazing and the Gnocchi Gorgonzola e Noci prefect as always! We also tried some of the Street Food and it was just Wow!! Nice end with the Tiramisu and Nutella Pizza !! Well done Anema e Core ! I cannot wait to come at the restaurant soon! Super recommend!!!

Anche durante il lockdown, grazie al servizio di Click&Collect, abbiamo ordinato da Anema e Core. Ottima pizza, come sempre, la carbonara continua a solleticare il palato. Grazie ancora ragazzi e a presto.

Very good service. Family run business. We had very good service from their daughter who is front of house.Good local beers with our meal.Very good calzone.We were able to take our dog who loves dining out. The service was very safe.I had a good panna cotta for desssert. It was a lovely last night of our week in Eastbourne.

Siamo andati da Anema e Core sabato sera, abbiamo trovato tutti i sistemi di protezione. Abbiano cenato in totale sicurezza. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati e sicuri, oltre ad aver avuto un prima cena. Grazie Lia e alla sua famiglia

Best Italian Restaurant! The atmosphere was great, service friendly and 100% COVID secure! Very good selection of dishes, highly recommended the pizza , one of the best pizza I ever had! Highly recommend!

Visitamos Anema e Core a menudo, ya sea para tomar una pizza para llevar o cenar fuera. Todo lo que hacen es genial y el ambiente es cálido y acogedor. Sus pizzas son tan suaves y están cargadas de ingredientes frescos. Su lasaña es rica y sabrosa. Te sugiero encarecidamente que pidas limoncello al final de tu comida. Es como volver a Italia. Y pusieron mucha atención en las políticas de Covid, con todos usando una máscara y respetando la distancia social.

Cenamos aquí el 23 de septiembre de 2020 a las 7. 00 pm. Fue bueno que habíamos reservado (según otras críticas de TA) ya que el lugar estaba bastante lleno.El interior tal vez esté un poco descolorido, pero tal vez sea por la iluminación tenue. Estoy a favor del "ambiente" en un restaurante, pero el bullicio de la gente que se divierte es del mejor tipo. Me temo que la iluminación era tan tenue que tuvimos que usar la instalación de la linterna en el teléfono de mi esposa para leer el menú; honestamente, era así de "tenue".Nos atendió una encantadora dama enmascarada, y para empezar pedimos pan, aceitunas, aceite y vinagre, seguidos de dos pizzas. El pan con el entrante era el pan más húmedo y delicioso que creo que he probado en mi vida. Podría haberlo hecho toda la noche. Las pizzas son del tipo napolitano, que es una base acolchada realmente fresca y aderezos simples. Mi 'Calabrese' tenía 'Nduja, que es una especie de salchicha picante para untar. Estaba delicioso y sorprendentemente abundante. Mi esposa tenía el 'Estiva', que tenía vegetación y jamón de Parma. Ella declaró que era bueno, pero era casi demasiado para ella. Dos cervezas Morena para acompañarlo todo, y solo poco más de 30. Valor excepcional y muy recomendable, pero reserve primero.

We picked this restaurant from the trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed! The ravioli was especially good! Good friendly service.

¡Este restaurante italiano es absolutamente fantástico! ¡La comida y el servicio son simplemente geniales! Tuve uno de los mejores Calzone que he probado, mi novia comió la pasta y dijo que era fabuloso. Tiramis y Panna Cotta al Pistacchio fuera de este mundo!Lo recomiendo encarecidamente, nuestro restaurante favorito en Eastbourne.

Great little Italian restaurant, the food was delicious and service great. Authentically Italian. The pizzas looked delicious fresh from the pizza oven too.

A nice Italian style family restaurant, good atmosphere, friendly staff and good prices. Very tasty food , good size portions, amazing desert. Very clean and Covid friendly Totally recommend!

Again another lovely meal at Anema e Core! This is a real Italian restaurant! I cannot recommend enough this place, every single dish they do is amazing, authentic Italian recipes, lovely atmosphere and service !

The food was very average, my wife had Spagheti Bolognese, she has made better. I had Calzone which lacked any taste and very little filling.

Siamo stati un sabato a pranzo, abbiamo subito notato le misure adottate per il Covid19. Distanziamento sociale, dispenser di gel e Staff con mascherina ti fanno fare sentire al sicuro. Ho preso gli spiedini ottimi. Per chiudere il pranzo una fetta di torta Baba mi hanno sentire in Italia. Consigliatissimo

Si se supone que el nombre de este popular italiano de Eastbourne significa "Corazón y alma", ¿no debería ser "Anima" en lugar de "Anema"? Animado como el amarillo brillante, está pintado por fuera en lugar de anémico como los colores ligeramente apagados de la pequeña habitación trasera en la que almorzamos este sábado. Somos principalmente del menú del día a buen precio que comienza con un cóctel de lechuga con una ración muy generosa de gambas y un pan de ajo con forma de panqueque. Una ensalada de pollo principal que mi esposa encontró bastante normal; los tallarines a la boloñesa que mi hija y comieron fue ayudado por su salsa de carne cocida a fuego lento. Un postre de ron baba se parecía a una rebanada de pastel, pero no era peor por eso.

Siamo ormai clienti fissi di Anema e Core, abbiamo subito notato che rispettano in pieno la social distancing. Staff con mascherina, punti di distribuzione gel dislocati in più punti del locale. Menu igienizzati. Fantastica cena in totale sicurezza.

Been to Anima e core a few times and the food is always great. Only place I eat veal and it's consistently delicious. Pizzas, pasta, puddings... Haven't found a dish that I didn't love. Service is always friendly and personal.

We had a lovely dinner there. Lovely staff, tasty pizzas and good wine too! Would really recommend!!

We really enjoyed our visit on Saturday night. The service, as always, was excellent and we had a delicious meal. If you haven't tried the pizzas here, you must! We will definitely be returning.

Always on time, Always warm and delicious pizza, Always Anema&Core!!! thanks guys!!! Love u soo much 😍

An incredible experience The atmosphere, the food and the people were simply sublime (felt like I was in Italy) I hope to return soon ❤️🇮🇹

Absolutely delicious food, super authentic. Very friendly staff, would almost miss it when walking by so delighted I looked up good reviews for restaurants first.

En nuestra corta estancia en Eastbourne nos encontramos con este fantástico "Ristorante Italiano". Comimos pizza y esa noche nos sentimos como en casa en nuestra ciudad natal (Napoli). Gracias a Lia que sugirió la "pizza salsiccia e friarielli", tuvimos una de las mejores pizzas que hemos tenido en el Reino Unido. El personal, el dueño era una delicia y disfrutamos mucho de la noche. Además de eso, el café (café italiano) y el limoncello eran la guinda del pastel. Definitivamente regresaremos de nuevo.

Excellent service and delicious authentic food. We were super happy with our dinner and your warm and friendly environment. Thank you so much

Visitamos Anema e Core durante nuestras tres noches de "estancia" en Eastbourne. El personal fue muy acogedor y fue reconfortante ver todas las medidas seguras de Covid en su lugar.Pedimos el Rigatoni Funghi E Salsiccia (pasta con champiñones porcini, salchicha italiana, crema y perejil) y el Capriccioso (Calzone con embutidos mixtos, quesos y champiñones). Los platos se sirvieron muy rápidamente y eran porciones generosas. La comida era fresca, caliente y auténticamente italiana. El Rigatoni Funghi E Salsiccia estaba delicioso. Los sabores de la salchicha italiana, los champiñones, el ajo y el perejil estaban bien equilibrados y la salsa era rica y cremosa. El Calzone también era muy sabroso y la masa era ligera y perfectamente horneada.Aunque la comida se sirvió bien caliente, el Calzone en particular se enfrió bastante rápido y se habría beneficiado de los platos calientes.Cada uno de nosotros disfrutamos de un cóctel Aperol Spritz con nuestra comida a un precio razonable (5,00 cada uno durante la hora feliz). Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestra comida, que llegó a 32 (bebidas incluidas), que pensamos que era muy razonable.

qué restaurante tan encantador, y una de las mejores pizzas que he probado, el personal es muy amable, la comida es para morirse, el servicio es insuperable, todo el distanciamiento social de covid 19 se cumple estrictamente para convertirlo en un lugar seguro para comer, creo que hemos encontrado nuestro italiano favorito y no puedo esperar para volver y probar otros platos

¡Estuve en este restaurante con algunos amigos y fue simplemente increíble! !La comida aquí es auténtica y recién preparada. .Tuvimos una encantadora selección de entrantes, todo bueno y bien presentado.Tomé Carbonara y fue lo mejor que he probado, ¡realmente increíble!¡Servicio amigable y 100% seguro Covid!¡Muy recomendable!¡Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta!

¡Visité este restaurante con mi novia para una comida romántica! ¡No podría ser mejor! Teníamos una mesa preciosa en la terraza exterior que era muy buena durante este clima caluroso. Comenzamos con un poco de Aperol Spritz como aperitivo, ¡un comienzo italiano perfecto! ¡Los entrantes eran deliciosos Fritto Misto y una selección de quesos y carnes italianos perfectos para compartir! Para las principales teníamos cordero ragu rigatoni y espaguetis de mariscos, ¡ambos increíbles! El vino del sur de Italia era muy bueno y bien presentado por la encantadora camarera. ¡Tiramisú estaba fuera de este mundo! ! ¡Fue una experiencia increíble!¡Definitivamente regresaría!

Visited today, pre booked a table day before, possibly best customer service I've had in long time very friendly n attentive, food great aswell n cheaper than pizza express yet 10x better👍👍👍👍

Muy buen restaurante familiar con una cocina increíble, auténtica y sencilla que realmente sabe a Italia.Probamos muchos restaurantes en East Sussex y este sigue siendo el mejor restaurante y ¿sabes por qué? No solo está recién cocinado desde cero, sino que es increíblemente sabroso y lleno de sabores.¡Totalmente recomendado! ! !

¡Este restaurante fue una verdadera sorpresa! Un poco cansado desde el exterior, el tesoro estaba dentro.Muy cálida bienvenida de este auténtico restaurante italiano de gestión familiar.La selección de entrantes mixtos fue una delicia y más que impresionó a mi cuñado vegano. Todos los platos principales estaban deliciosos y mi solomillo fue uno de los mejores que he probado en los últimos tiempos. Las pizzas de la mesa de al lado también parecían deliciosas. El precio era muy razonable para la calidad excepcional. Además, el restaurante tenía una mejor política de covid que otros que visitamos en Eastbourne.

Segundo mejor restaurante y creo que ese fue nuestro problema. Esperábamos algo excepcional y era bastante normal.El personal fue muy agradable de principio a fin. Teníamos lasaña, capricciosa y pan de ajo. Todo estaba bien, pero como otros restaurantes italianos, nada especial en el menú calificaba como una firma.¡Me encanta el hecho de que usan códigos QR para los menús en estos tiempos de pandemia!
