Gino's Italian Restaurant in Lewes

The star if seaford dining - Wonderful food and great experience, staff were attentive and patient with us when we were ordering. Looking forward to visiting again and will definitely be ordering when i’m next in seaford

On the positive front the food was very nice. Unfortunately, however, these days Seaford suffers from the wonderful Brexit effect of too many locally based serving staff who look too young, inexperienced and at times have a surly disinterested attitude. Probably they would prefer being on their phones or comparing their nails. Additionally you get sone of the local clientele who are loud, vulgar and annoying. Sunlit uplands indeed.....

Never disappointed 😋, A Group of us went recently on thursday evening the food was delicious, prices are fair and staff was pleasant highly recommend ☺️

A hidden little gem. Good service, lovely atmosphere and really authentic Italian food. The wine drinkers said the house red was very good.

We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious 3 course meal at Gino's. The portions are super generous. Our sea bass was particularly delicious. The service was excellent, there is just one comment regarding the wine. We bought quite an expensive bottle to accompany our meal, and it was really excellent. Our only comment is that the wine was not opened at the table, which surprised us. Apart from that, 5 stars all round! Would definitely go back.

Great food great price you are never rushed ,I would highly recommend this restaurant

Not been for a few years, can honestly say this is seafords best restaurant. Great food and atmosphere, all at a reasonable price. Perfect for families or date night

Good restaurant friendly service 👌

Lovely restraunt very good food & very reasonable priced drinks. Excellent attentive staff.

Went there this evening for a wedding anniversary meal. The food was excellent and service, atmosphere was spot on. Very competitive pricing and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening thank you.

Amazing experience overall. We received a warm greeting on arrival and great service throughout, by our waiter Luis. The food was lovely and the crème brûlée was the best finishing touch to the meal. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely be coming back soon!

Very nice place, lovely service and amazing food. The fish I had could likely get them a Michelin star. I’ll surely come back

Good food, friendly and efficient staff, good atmosphere.

Always a good place to eat. Good staff good vibe. Excellent food service is great

We had a fantastic evening in ginos- we went for a big family meal, 15 of us! The service was fantastic and super friendly- nothing was too much for Ricardo & the other staff members. The food was very tasty and yummy! Shall def be going again. Thank you ginos :)

Great experience, couldn't do enough for us. The food was a great dinning experience risotto for my wife and breast of chicken ramana for myself and my fussy daughter ate everything !!

Having not been to Ginos for many years we have returned. We are over the moon to discover the quality of food and service has got better and better even from the wonderful standard that had already been established. The food is excellent and so wonderfully priced. Perhaps a few more vegetarian options could be added but all in all - wonderful

ik had de gino’s pizza en die was heerlijk. knapperig maar niet te, veel kaas en lekkere groentes erop. de bediening was een beetje opdringerig, maar wel op de vriendelijke engelse manier. over het algemeen zeer tevreden.

Just had a fantastic meal at Gino's. The food was the absolute best quality on every course - really great tasting (the garlic mushrooms are a must have). The service was great too and the restaurant has a lovely feel to it with some old time classics playing in the background. A lovely place to spend an evening - thank you.

Pleasant and efficient service. Menu varied, interesting, and sensibly priced. A very satisfactory evening

Just moved to the area and really happy to find a local Italian restaurant! Gino’s is friendly, with a great menu and the food was very good! We will be back!

A perfect evening as usual. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Plus drinks and food are not overpriced.

Very popular restaurant with a good menu offering authentic Italian dishes .... The food was amazing. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Thoroughly recommended.

The food was lovely, and servers were very kind

An amazing Italian restaurant with delicious food and great service. I had the godfather pizza and it was mouth wateringly good. The waitresses were really polite and nice to us and the ambience was really nice too. Thank you :)

Delicious food, excellent service and really friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Absolutely superb. Food was amazing. Service was great and prices were beyond reasonable.

Always great food and probably the best pizza in town 😋.

Great Italian food and service as always. Spoilt for choice on the menu with some wonderful specials cooked to order.

Gino's was small and cosy on a very frosty night. Great selection of food/wine on the menu and all at reasonable prices. My pizza was one of the best I had eaten, given I've had quite a few being 74. Staff were helpful and attentive and I didn't feel pressured in any way. Highly recommended.

Third time in Gino's and each time your treated like a member of the family. Food is better than amazing each time. 100% would recommend each meal on the menu. Try it once and you will be back time and time again.

All staff very efficient and friendly. Management put customers at ease with a personal touch, not over familiar.

We had already ordered our food when a large, immediately extremely noisy group were sat directly behind us. At that point the whole other end of the restaurant was empty. We asked to be moved.  Our waiter went off to ask the manager and came back and indicated to the table next to the group. I said with astonishment "what next to them?" He said it was the " only ,table not reserved". I said  there was no pont then. I really wish we'd cut our losses and left then but we struggled through our meal, unable to  relax and have conversation.  Irritatingly tables away from group on our side of the restaurant remained free. I went to  the manager at the end of our meal and asked why he had refused to move us. He said with indignation that he had offered.  An argument then followed about the table we had been offered. He stomped off to get the young waiter to back him up.  It turns out the waiter  had indicated to the table but one away from the group.  Apparently I should have known this because  " it had a cloth on,."  This table was still as probably as close to the group as us anyway so useless.  The waiter probably couldn't  hear my clarification about which of the equally pointless tables he was indicating to. We asked the manager why not move us to one of the empty tables on the other side much further away from the group. They were reserved apparently. He ironically added that he'd also had to move other customers  away from the group! One couple did come in about 10 minutes before the end of our meal but the ideal table next to them remained completely free as did others. It was futile to continue to try to argue our point with the manager. He clearly couldn't have cared less. He gave insincere apology as we paid our bill and left. An unpleasant experience never to be repeated .

Not the worst Italian takeaway I’ve had. The pizza was definitely not real Italian quality. Pasta was very watery.

Got a takeaway pizza, nothing like before. Pretty sure they got it from another takeaway.

Not been here for a few years and decided as it used to be amazing to revisit on a trip to visit family ok it was a Friday night so busy but it was over crowded full of parties trying to out shout each other to prove they were having the best party the staff were attentive and good at their jobs but food quality has dropped over the last five years from 5 star to 3 star which is sad to see

Great Italian in the heart of Seaford Town well worth a visit but best to book first as we booked for 1730 Saturday and it was busy then great food and service from all the staff would highly recommend and will be revisiting.

Haven't been Ginos for awhile was lovely meal staff friendly really looked after us thank you

Tried the Gino's pizza with vegan cheese today and was blown away! Best vegan pizza I've tried so far, it was absolutely delicious. Really appreciate that there are vegan options on the menu now!

Warm friendly, small restaurant spread over ground floor 1st floor and basement. Good selection of food and drinks catering for tastes suitable for meat, fish, vegetarian and vegans. Check out their website. Parking close by is potluck. Food portions are generous so choose wisely.

Excellent service. Delicious food. Great atmosphere.

We visited without a reservation and were given a table downstairs. We ordered drinks which arrived quickly then there was a wait for anyone to come to take our food order, maybe due to the restaurant being very busy upstairs. The very pleasant young server was very apologetic and all went well after that. The two fish dishes we had tasted delicious and were beautifully presented.

We were a late booking and really enjoyed our visit to Gino's ~ a venue we had promised to visit over many years, but never made it. Service was efficient, suitably attentive and friendly. Starter of perfect garlic mushrooms followed by a pasta (penne salmone) dish and a very tasty aubergine parmegane. Delicious ... really enjoyed ... and a promise made to selves to return soon!

Amazing food, amazing restaurant amazing staff highly recommend. Would recommend to eny one. Always good food and good staff

Vine de España de vacaciones, me recomendaron este restaurante y me ha gustado muchísimo. Muy buen trato, todo muy limpio y la comida riquísima y a un precio totalmente asequible. Nos gustaron mucho las pizzas y la lasaña, el tiramisú de 10! Volveremos sin dudarlo.

What a fantastic little restaurant!!! The food and service very nice with a fabulous atmosphere. We loved the spaghetti with seafood and the pizzas. Will be back very soon

AVOID!! Theres a lot better restaurants to go to! Booked for a party of 12! 3 members of the party drunk draft Peroni, that evening, their insides were burning, and they were being violently sick. After speaking with the emergency doctors, all the signs were that they HAD DIRTY PIPELINES / PIPES NOT FLUSHED PROPERLY! 3 emails sent to Ginos - no apology, nothing, in fact very rude emails received! FOOD IS UNDER PAR & TASTELESS! DREADFULL PLACE, A REAL SHAME AS GINO BUILT UP A LOVELY RESTAURANT BUT IT SEEMS THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CLEANLINESS OR FOOD QUALITY!! AVOID!! SO MANY OTHER LOVELY RESTAURANTS TO GO TO!!

From the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty to be honest, such incredible service and the food was truly amazing. Had 3 courses and bottle of wine. Bruscetta large tasty portion, calamari the batter was light and fluffy we were impressed. Mains pizza and filled pasta both great portions and really tasty, they boxed up some of the pizza to bring home. Ice cream and choc torte amazing and finished off with irish coffee. All brilliant. Really cannot recommend Gino's enough. Brilliant tasty food at reasonable prices, well done Gino's!

Was a little disappointed ! Have fond memories of this place from being a kid and going there ! Calamari was horrible and dry with some dry lettuce . Clearly just sat in freezer for ages and over cooked . No dip with it either. Garlic bread was bland and dry . The pizza was tasty - but didnt have chillis as order - jus some jalapenos scattered on . The other thing is it felt like a prison visit room . The poor waitress stood awkwardly behind us . Made us uncomfortable and unnecessary . For us and probably for her . Marked decline in overall experience from what i remember

Lovely family run restaurant, great atmosphere, yummy food and excellent service. Have been coming here for years and will continue for many more.

We visited tonight as a table of 4 whilst staying in the area. Amazing food and great friendly service! The meatball pizza was tasty! Highly recommend.

Wonderful evening with friends at Gino’s. Food was excellent and our waiter was absolutely fantastic, so professional. Highly recommend!

I booked this restaurant for my birthday celebration about 3 weeks before the date and specifically asked for a table upstairs in the main restaurant and I was assured that it would be ok. We arrived on the night to be led to the downstairs area in a low ceiling dull room. I immediately spoke to the Brazilian manager who said that I hadn’t booked upstairs and wasn’t interested at all. Even after the discussion he wasn’t even sorry. As ther were 16 of is it was very crowded and unpleasant. We then waited for approx 50 mins before we even got a drink. They had put 2 jugs of water which ran out quick. I then spoke to the same man again but again no interest. Some wine arrived eventually but we then had to wait ages for glasses. Totally unexceptable. The food when it arrived was ok and we tried to Enjoy the evening as it was a celebration. When the bill came the manager hadn’t even offered a glass of wine or a Discount off of the bill for the inconvenience of not sticking to the promised room upstairs. Really disappointed with this restaurant as we have been here before and been happy, but unfortunately we will not return again and will never recommend this place nor will our friends

Very poor tortellini. Dry and most likely heated in microwave. Pasta heated but plate cold is a give away clue. Dry and tough.

Amazing food,great choices, something for everyone and great vaule to. Great atmosphere. Staff and Management are friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Can't recommend this place enough. It's a must try if you love Italian food.

An amazing restaurant. Food is excellent, severed pipping hot and tastes amazing. Staff are wonderful, attentive but not hovering. Prices a good. Would highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

For the 2nd time in three days our group of visiting Photographers enjoyed wonderful meals in this fine Italian. Great food, swift, friendly service. A wide variety of excellent meals from the extensive Menu. Hayling Seagoon

Having eaten in Ginos many times over the years I have never been disappointed. The quality and service is always amazing. Easily the best Italian in Seaford!

Always good food and service here.

Very enjoyable meal. Excellent service. Well worth a visit.

Nice quite atmosphere...friendly waiters and really good Italian food....

I ordered a pizza to take away. Once I got home and opened the pizza box I realised why it was so light in weight. It was little thicker than the cardboard box it came in and that was topping included. The pizza was so...

Cheesecake not the same as on menue, Tagliatelle salsicca & broccli which had Italian sausage, too much Italian sausage which was overpowering

Everything has been previously frozen. Our dessert was still frozen when it has been served. Tasteless and the service was not great. Not recommended.

Each time I visit my friend I always love to go to this Italian restaurant. It's a wonderful atmosphere. The menu is extensive and the food always tasty & nicely presented. The staff are attentive & friendly without being intrusive. Nothing is too much trouble & there's just the right time lapse between courses. A very special place.

Always love going to Ginos. Ricardo as ever is the perfect host. Tables nicely spaced out and they have a new menu too. Food always good and drink reasonably priced. Will be back again with another birthday celebration soon!

Lovely meal and lovely staff what more can one say 😉

good meal and very good service and very ressonsable prices would recomend and would go back

Hadn't been here for a few years...Food was really good and service great.

What a wonderful, truly authentic Italian restaurant this is. The menu is wide and varied. The staff are brilliant. The dishes are beautifully presented and taste devine. Totally loved this restaurant and would highly recommend.

my wife and sister in law could not eat their aubergine pasta bake and the tiramisu was the worst ever made

Wonderfully accommodating for families. Very friendly. Will be a definite place to return to.

Unlike other reviews, we found the service excellent, but the food not wonderful, except the tiramisu dessert which was delicious. The pizza base was good but looked ready made not freshly thrown. My husband’s pasta with sausage and broccoli was uninspiring and colourless. I’m no...

Lovely food, friendly service, reasonable price

Fab restaurant wonderful food cant wait to go back !

Ricardo accommodated my family of 4 at very short notice. The service was very friendly and amazing. The pizzas were fantastic and the environment was very nice. I would recommend!!!!

Refurbished over lockdown. A great restaurant, friendly welcoming staff and the food is fantastic

The food was tasty particularly the pizza which had a thin crust that was made to perfection. All pasta dishes were well presented and very good to eat. The service was prompt and friendly. All Covid precautions were adhered to. People with mobility issues should...

5 pizzas served up freshly for takeaway at 9pm on a Tuesday. Service was very good, pizzas were excellent. Cant fault this place.

Nice meal, friendly staff, loved the sea bass

This was OK as an English version of Italian food. But nowhere near as good as it could be. The tagliatelle seemed cooked from dried, not fresh made. And the vegetarian pizza had loads of cheese and topping on, making it quite unlike an Italian pizza. The desserts were the best thing, though. Service was good. The servers were friends and helpful but, perhaps, too formulaic and not natural, as if they'd been carefully programmed in their training. But they're all ever so young and, maybe, not allowed to bring their own personality to the job. It was a pleasant meal out

The food was lovely as well as the establishment. However, what I have to criticise is the service. I order a pizza with extra toppings, not only has the waitress failed to ask me what size the pizza I want to be (9 inch or...

It’s simple for us - fan-bloody-tastic Absolutely fantastic service from beginning to end Wonderful food, all freshly made, clean eating simply delicious Thank you team.

Had a takeaway for my birthday today. I had the chicken with brandy and pink peppercorns. It was delicious and the vegetables were perfectly cooked with a good selection. My family had pizzas which were also very good and the price for all was very reasonable. Shall order again.

We had a takeaway while restaurants are shut. The pizzas were very tasty and we ordered a mixed salad to go with them which was a large portion and very fresh. I had a chicken dish with a delicious sauce served with a variety of...

I've been going to Ginos for over 10 years and have never been disappointed. Friendly, warm atmosphere with top food and service. I will continue to support such a great business and I hope that Ginos continues to go from strength to strength. The only way our local restaurants continue to survive is by using them so get down to Ginos.

Had a wonderful meal at Ginos this evening, me and the hubby, first night out in months, and the last for the next month! Thanks to Ricardo and Chef, for our delicious food and service. Second to none! See you again in December 🤞🏻

Great service and fab food.They go above your needs by extra touches. Would highly reccommend. Also very good value.

Ordered a take away from here just a few days ago, After receiving only half the order, I called to let one of the employees know that we had only received half the order that we had placed. On phoning, I received the worst customer...

Very poor. Had a takeaway for my daughter’s birthday. Part of order missing, restaurant hung up on us twice. Accused us of lying about order. Definitely one to avoid.

Genuinely disgusted by the behaviour this restaurant displayed last night. Large order, realised 3 items were missing when sharing it out. Called up and were fobbed off. Called again and told that the manager had instructed staff NOT to send the items or issue a...

Had a lovely evening. Excellent meal. Great value. Great service. Felt very safe eating here under the circumstances. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

We visited Gino’s for a friends birthday this week. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the restaurant was set up well, following all Covid rules. We were quickly greeted and our drinks were served promptly. Our order was taken, and any requests made were...

Disappointed in the food quality for the prices. The garlic bread (£4.50!) tasted like what you buy frozen, had barely any taste and was soggy when we opened it. The mussels alla napoletana (red) had a nice sauce but about 1/4 of them were still closed! Another 1/4 had broken shells so it was impossible to not get bits of shell in your teeth which is very unpleasant. For £10 I expected more that were actually edible. The pasta was fine, nothing amazing. The pizza was overdone and lacked flavour. Had higher expectations.

My favourite restaurant in Seaford. Great food, wine, service and atmosphere. Update July 2020: Returned to Gino's after being in Lockdown... What a treat! Social distancing in place.. Excellent and swift service from Ricardo and his team... Lovely food and wine... And my favourite Tiramisu for dessert.. A very pleasant evening with my Support Bubble daughter and son in law on a visit. I would certainly go again soon!

great food and service ! would highly recomend !

Gino's is THE Italian restaurant on the South Coast. The ambience is always buzzy and upbeat, the staff are warm and generous, and the food is delightful. Best pizzas this side of Milan!

Fantastic food! The chocolate pudding was remarkable! Thankyou!

Amazing food with amazing service! Great place to eat and relax with family and friends!
