La Mediterranea Pizzeria E Ristorante Seaford in Lewes

Went in with my grandparents and my girlfriend for a meal for the first time. Food was exceptional and the service was incredibly smooth. Younger fella with tattoos was quick and attentive with our order, whilst the friendly Italian gentleman made our evening with his colourful personality. Highly recommend this place.

Great place. Lovely tasty lunch at very reasonable price and good choice of dishes - catering for for my vegetarian friend who needs gluten free. Helpful waiter and friendly proprietor/chef. Would definitely go again.

What an amazing experience. After a long month in December i wanted to treat my staff out for a meal! We were sadly let down about 45 minutes before our table at a different restaurant. In a panic I called vicini vicini up and spoke to a very pleasant guy who promised to fit us in, barely mind they only had 20 minutes to set our table up at this point. I’d always heard good things about this restaurant but was not expecting the warm welcome and delicious food we would receive. The lady who was serving us was so observant and professional I forgot I was in seaford! Even to the point I dropped my spoon and within seconds it was replaced by her! The prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is next to none! Mauro is an excellent chef, and a wonderful host, I felt like I’d known him for years. It’s so lovely to know there is a restaurant so close that is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone! Being in hospitality, I find it very hard to enjoy an evening out in another pub/restaurant ! This has changed rhat for me completely! I will be back with the family very soon! Thank you to the whole team! Will

A warm welcome by the proprietor and an authentic tasty delicious lunch. What’s more we got to practice our Italian! Looking forward to going back soon.

This is our first visit to Vicini Vicini whilst on a short winter break in Seaford, and we weren’t disappointed. The pasta was so fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and professional, and we were made to feel very welcome despite their early closing time. We will definitely be back whenever we’re in the area.

Delicious food nice atmosphere and very friendly staff everytime we are in Seaford we eat here Highly recommended a visit

Really lovely food and service. Everyone who works here is delightful and we had a great time! Bonus - if it’s your birthday you get a special treat! 🎶

Lovely midweek lunch. The three of us had a wonderful time. Great we’ll look after restaurant. Lovely ambiance. Attentive friendly people work here and the food was superb. Fresh and very flavourful. Good potions and we all said great value for money. A great find and we’ll definitely be back.

We had the pleasure in having a lovely meal here the beginning of October. The 4 of us agreed it was the best meal we have eaten out for ages. Everything was cooked fresh, all meals were served piping hot. Big portions. Thank you for allowing our dogs in even if one of them decided to knock their water bowl over.

Such a wonderful restaurant. Fantastic food and service second to none. The owner and staff genuinely go that extra mile to make you feel really like you are at home.

Took a friend visiting from Dorset and she was very impressed with great food and excellent staff! I can throughly recommend the excellent Rum Baba!

Excellent restaurant as always. Fab restaurant to eat. Great staff and owner. I recommend and will come here again for sure.

Great food, very good service and lovely ambience! This was our second visit. We travelled from Crowborough and it is definitely worth the drive. My favourite Italian restaurant.

Our dinner was excellent as was the service. This is a really good and authentic Italian restaurant. We live locally and are so glad to have something so good so close. 5 stars well deserved.

Recommended by our B and B hosts so we had high expectations and were not disappointed.Great atmosphere and a welcome that instantly made us feel valued.The meals we had were delicious, beautifully presented, hot and authentic. The staff were friendly and attentive and we would recommend this restaurant for good value eating experience..

We visited Seaford after 30 years.Excellent Italian food and wine. Kindness of the staff and of the owner.We felt like home. Thanks.

We had a lovely evening meal here. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with an attentive but not obtrusive service. We both enjoyed delicious fish, sea bass and shellfish, it all tasted very fresh and was cooked beautifully. Portions were generous. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We visited Vinci Vinci over the weekend with family to have a celebratory meal after our wedding. I cannot express enough how amazing the staff were. My partner booked the table and the owner was so accommodating even being generous enough to open over what would be the lunch break to allow our family to celebrate together. The food was simply stunning we had a mixture of meals including calzone, risottos, sea bass and pasta. Everything was cooked to perfection and served aesthetically and promptly. I cannot recommend Vinci Vinci enough and would encourage anyone looking for a place to eat in Seaford to give it a try you will not be disappointed. 10/10!

So glad we discovered this restaurant, where we had a delicious lunch sitting outside on a hot June day. The staff were welcoming and attentive and the food was really good. Great menu with lots of choices, including gluten free, and good options for vegetarians. The decor is tasteful (and the toilets are super clean!) Our meal provided excellent value in pleasant surroundings. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

I have eaten at Italian restaurants in just about every town between Dover and Southampton, and this is the very best. Super ambience, lovely food, staff v attentive, maitre d' was welcoming and friendly. Standard was far higher than the reasonable price would suggest.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Always good service . Would highly recommend. Made to feel very welcome. Have visited several times

An excellent experience and highly enjoyable. This is a very good Italian restaurant and Mauro is a great host. I recommend a visit.

We came and dined as a family and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There is a wonderful atmosphere and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, they truly made you feel welcomed and looked after. The food was delicious, came quickly and presented beautifully.

Absolutely fabulous evening. The manager squeezed us in even though he was very busy. The experience was the best we've had in Seaford. The food, the vibe and the staff were all amazing. 100% will be back to try the other dishes. X

This is the perfect Italian food - it always is, every time we come. This time I forgot to ask for the vegan pizza instead of the vegetarian one. Amber is in charge of front of house. She’s young but her hospitality skills are impeccable. It was my fault but she was gracious and got me another pizza in super quick time. Mauro came out from the kitchen to check on all his customers a couple of times. His food and his restaurant are superb. It’s Monday night and it’s busy here - testament to the fact that it’s by far the best place to eat for miles around.

I am adding a picture of the food we ordered today - April 12, 2024 at 18:50 as proof that we tried to dine in here. The manager at this date and time ruined a special occasion by disrespecting me as a customer. He went to our table and so we gave our food order. My partner already ordered drinks, so when he asked what drinks do I want, I said I am still looking. He then said "we'll wait for you to order drinks before we get your food order". I did not say anything but in my head "what the hell?" First time I have heard of that from a restaurant! What if I want to eat first?? This is not a pub to prioritise drinks than food! When the food arrived, I saw that my food looks different from the description, so I asked where is the prosciutto and mozarella. He annoyingly, "that! on the top" without any hint of hospitality or being courteous. You can see from the picture that you cannot even see any mozarella cheese in there. And when he saw probably my disappoinment in the food, he said "I dont think you should talk to me like that". Then that is the time I brought up that he did not allow me to order food earlier because he wants me to order drinks first. We started arguing and we ended up leaving the restaurant with an incompetent manager. If you are working in a hospitality sector - that is why it is called "hospitality", you should be hospitable and treat your customers with respect. What's funny is that when I checked other reviews in google, there are also complaints about the disrespectful manager. I assure you, your restaurant will not last long if you're going to be disrespectful like this to your customers!!

Fabulous food. Loved it all. Great service. We had pasta pizza and steak. All brilliant. Puddings were good. Nice ciante and well priced

We were really impressed, both at the quality of the food but also the service. There are plenty of run of the mill Italian restaurants around, this most definitely stands out.

Fab food and vibe. The team were super attentive. Extensive choice for starters and mains but a bit more limited for desserts - although the generous portions mean you might not have room! Great to see organic wine by the glass on the menu.

An extensive menu with lots of options to choose from for each course. The staff were friendly and helpful. The bolognese was nice with generous portions. The steak was ok with lots of sauce but small portions of veg to go with it. We ordered extra potatoes and that worked well. Salt comes in paper sachets but nice chilli oil. The chef is friendly and nice that he comes out to f the kitchen to mingle.

A great first visit. We were visiting parents in seaford with our newborn and popped here for dinner. The food was top draw and the service from our waitress and the owner was very good. Food was very reasonably priced and it had a great atmosphere! Far better than other competitors close by ! Thank you for a lovely evening Vincini

Nice independent with freshly cooked food, good atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. A little too quick clearing the table and bringing next courses.

We go to Vicini Vicini regularly and it’s always good. The food is excellent and Mauro and his team are so friendly and helpful. It’s always a treat to go there.

When you walk in they make you feel so welcome and serve Amazing food, which is very delicious.The staff here are also so lovely and kind.

Fantastic food, great hosts, lovely setting. Excellent service. Highly recommend. Dough balls to die for. Good value.
