Anema e Core in Eastbourne

Siamo stati, per una festa do compleanno, a cena. Come.sempre abbiamo avuto un'accoglienza calorosa, la carbonara autentica come la cacio e pepe. Tutto, in questo Ristorante, parla Italiano. A presto ragazzi

We have been to Anema e Core many times and we go always with pleasure. Every time the experience is extremely delightful. Always great meals and top quality ingredients. We often have a delicious Pizza and for dessert Tiramisu. Absolutely tasty and authentic Italian food. And ,as always, lovely staff.

We went to this fabulous restaurant last Saturday. We always feel at home. The food is authentic Italian and the service is very friendly, traditional Italian style. Thank you guys we hope to see you soon

My partner and I visited here, we were very disappointed with the whole experience. My partner manages a Michelin Star restaurant and the service, food and attitude was just completely unacceptable. We left the restaurant upset, and feeling sick. We were a walk in booking over the weekend, the restaurant was completely apart from 1 table when we arrived and we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience by the front of owner/chef, he even refused another walk in when we were sat down, stating they had room for pizza only. There was a lovely young Italian waitress who was trying to serve us but the owner/chef kept taking over and was quite frankly being rude to the staff and us. My partner ordered a Negroni for drinks, and I ordered a non-alcoholic beer. The Negroni tasted diluted and pre-made, which is not what you expect for a restaurant of this standard, particularly when the restaurant is quiet. We got a mixture of starters, the bruchetta, parmigiana balls and meat Arincini. The Bruchetta was burnt and dry just some chargrilled bread with some tomatoes the parmigiana balls were flavourless and overcooked. The arincini was actually okay. For mains I have the Risotto Gamberetie E Zucchine, it was tasteless and watery, reminded me of rice pudding. Plus the prawns had no flavour and the whole meal did not taste right. My partner had the the Paccheri Ai Frutti Di Mare, the pasta did not taste home-made and the seafood was frozen and bland, and the dish was overly fishy and did not taste right. The dish had no flavour and was not edible. We both only had a few bites to eat of each main dish. We were made to feel uncomfortable to say much about the dishes as the owner kept speaking about us whilst we were sat down. My partner asked for the dishes to be packed as we felt really uncomfortable in saying. The nice Italian waitress came to us after the dishes were taken away, she spoke to me discreetly about not liking the meals, I told her it was not nice and I felt uncomfortable saying, she apologised and was really lovely about it. She went and spoke to the owner/chef about us but he responded to her quite angrily then came over to us to take payment, making us feel even more uncomfortable. They also charged a service fee which seemed to be more money than necessary. Honestly the whole experience was just really upsetting and would not recommend at all.

As my partner already wrote a review, I decided to join her. As an exec. manager of a Michelin star restaurant, I don’t recommend this place. The chef (owner) is greedy and his service is absolutely unacceptable . The food we received was old, possibly reheated in the oven. Pasta and Risotto had no taste and were absolutely blunt. I love italian food but if you respect yourself as a chef you must not send out food like this to the customers. At the end of our visit he (the owner) was aware of the situation as the server told him. I guess he declined to deal with the situation and charged us fully. Also, £10 service that he added to the bill (he probably takes it home). I had a really bad day and only wanted to enjoy some of my favourites but the day ruined completely. I didn’t want to argue so we just left. All I can say, if you really love italian food, there are much better places than this. I would love to get my £68 refund but obviously it’s not possible.

We've wanted to visit here for a while but we always have our dog with us which makes it tricky. We visited for lunch and all four of us had a delicious meal, by far the best we've had in Eastbourne. Fresh and tasty authentic Italian cooking and wonderful friendly staff. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you!

WOW! Came with a friend after many recommendations and this place did not disappoint. The pasta is freshly made and the food is so authentic. Could not fault a single thing. Delicious food, friendly service, fabulous wine and a lovely quaint atmosphere. I cannot wait to go back!

Fantastic home cooked food and lovely service. Would definitely come again. Food was from a traditional recipe and ypu could tell.

I don’t even know where to start… Food was honestly one of the best Italian dishes we had!! Restaurant is quite small but 100% worth and definitely worth it!

We had a wonderful experience. The authentic carbonara and sausage and mushroom paperdelle were delicious. The gelato for dessert was smooth and tasty and paired with their wonderful espresso was perfection. The staff were fantastic, everything was taken care of with a smile. The one...

This restaurant is on the site of a former favourite Italian restaurant and it pales in comparison. This place is pretty expensive. The menu is good with plenty of options. We didn't have a starter so cannot review that. I had swordfish with King prawns....

Lovely decor. Service was attentive (if sometimes a little too attentive - felt like we were being a bit rushed at times). Food and drink was good value for money.

We had a delicious eggplant starter, pizza and tiramisu. The place is small, clean and feels authentic Italian. Staff were friendly, attentive and smiley. Great value and quality. Worth a visit of you're in the area!

Saturday night with friends Outstanding Italian food served by fantastic staff. Loved how you can discuss the menu with the staff before picking your selection of starters main and desert. Service was top notch and kudos for the youngest waitress who was engaging and very...

Absolutely gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere. Homemade pasta wonderful. Starters great and desserts to die for. Epic!

One of the best Italian’s restaurants in Eastbourne, The pizza was amazing and the starters too. We had a wonderful welcome. Wine list selection from every part of Italy. We’re ready to make a reservation every week

Came here on our first night in Eastbourne. lovely ambience. very friendly and helpful staff. we had garlic bread to start. the garlic bread was to die for and so was the pizza. we will be back!

Terminus Road has turned into a real gem for dining out. Anema e Core is a little splash of historic Naples in Eastbourne. You have to try the limoncello sponge dessert.

On a recent stay in Eastbourne when most shops etc were closed we managed to find this gem of an Italian. Wonderful Pizzas, Tasty dark Italian beer and good friendly service

Some of the best Italian food I’ve had, outside of Italy. The bread and pizza dough were light, and delicious. The truffle arancini was amazing, fragrant and flavoursome. Italian draft lager was great. Extremely welcoming staff and lovely atmosphere and decor. I would highly recommend.

Went for lunch on Christmas Eve with the family. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was great. The food was absolutely amazing, and the portions were a really good size. Compliments to the chefs for the great food. Do yourself a favour...

I l've visited this restaurant many times and never been disappointed. Hosts and staff are always polite, friendly and helpful. Their menu includes a variety of original Italian dishes and, of course, an incredibly tasty pizza. Without doubts, the best pizza in town! If you...

Nice welcome beautiful traditional Italian food,amazing desserts. The owners work in first person. I definitely will come back. Thanks for our lovely dinner

Really tasty pizzas and pasta, both home made. Limited range of proper Italian wines. The Nduja pizza was exceptional as was the pasta with my fish dish. Great atmosphere and friendly staff as well. Well worth a visit and book in advance!

Nice meal, good wine and pleasent staff. Wewere due to eat at our Hotel only they forgot to tell us the restaurant was closed! Lovely Deserts.

Great food! Pizza has a chewy crust. Pastas are all handmade and sauces are from scratch. Family who own the place are from Italy and they can cook, as well as being helpful and accommodating!

Good menu, very good quality food, especially the pasta, very friendly and efficient service, good value - what more could you want!

Excellent accueil. Très bonnes pizzas. Pour ma part j'ai pris du thon et des crevettes qui étaient très bons et...

Fantastic food and service. I had a capitciosa and my partner a margerita. Super in every way and cooked in only 3 minutes in the super hot wood fired oven. Great crust and toppings. Wonderful. Thanks..

Four of us just had a very enjoyable lunch here today. Our friends, who visit less often than us, really enjoyed the Bolognese and Lasagne as well as tge Tiramisu. We were very content with the vegan offerings - delicious, freshly cooked and great service.

We come here every week and just love the place. The food is simply outstanding and you have to work your way through the menu and try everything. Excellent food and service by Lea as always and those desserts , so yummy!

Calamari was definitely not fresh Lasagna was heated up in the microwave which I expected but when I got to the middle it was cold the daughter of the owner said it was 89 degrees which is totally wrong as I’m a chef in a...

Super Saturday lunch. Very tasty. Shame it wasn't very busy, others are missing a treat. Service was excellent and we will definitely visit again.

Very nice food as usual. Delicious. Usual friendly & helpful service. A must visit for all lovers of Italian food.

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

Sumptuous sirloin steaks cooked up by Giuseppe and divine deserts created by Nunzia with fantastic service from Lia & Francesco. Thank you all for the fabulousl food, wonderful wine and dekightful drinks. So glad we visited you whilst on a break in Eastbourne and that...

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.

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...
