Luna Rossa Italian Restaurant in Lewes

Great Breakfast nice relaxed atmosphere

A very nice little restaurant besides the marina. Our first experience here while visiting family. Service was very good and the lad was very welcoming and friendly. The wait for food wasn't long, and everything seemed to be made fresh. Our pizza choices didn't let us down and were very nice. The pasta dishes seemed small but were quite filling. Will definitely consider a re visit when we are back in the area in the warmer months.

Nice to see an independent restaurant doing good business. Food was really good and the service was friendly and attentive.

I enjoyed my dinner very much. It was a spaghetti dish with prawns and clams.

Very good Italian cuisine, very friendly staff and affordable prices

Great food all fresh. Fantastic pizzas and great choices for everyone on the menu. Staff are all very friendly and great table service. Highly recommended

Lovely menu and specials board ,Lots of choices to suit everyone ,food was excellent and very tasty, service was top notch along with a great friendly atmosphere,just over £80 for four of us including drinks main meal and dessert 🍨 well worth the money , we will definitely be back 😋

Fantastic lobster tortellini starter followed by delicious rolled and stuffed chicken breast washed down with a super house red Sangiovese. Rosario a lovely host and lovely young waiting staff. Faultless and highly recommended! Consistently good food and presentation. Lovely host and staff.

Lovely authentic Italian bistro. Freshly made pizza. Pasta, fish dishes & coffee. Marina location, very helpful staff, family friendly.

Delicious food and great gluten free pasta

Stumbled across this place whilst waiting for a ferry crossing to Dieppe . This really is a wonderful, traditional Italian delight of a restaurant ! The food was amazing and very good value for money , service was great and so much pride taken in giving a good service. If you are planning on catching a ferry from Dieppe - I would highly recommend adding in time for a visit to this place

Great location Friendly staff Nice for a pit stop

The calamari diavlo is one of the greatest calamari’s I’ve ever had the meat pizza and luna rossa spaghetti were amazing aswell

Very friendly Italian restaurant, for the cuisine and the service! To recommend!

tagliatelle with salmon was perfectly made

Brilliant little Italian Bistro. A table for three on a Saturday evening before taking the 11pm ferry to Dieppe. Service welcoming, good-humoured, and attentive. Food was great, portions impressive, bottle of house red very nice. Excellent job, Luna Rossa - thank you.

Gnocchi starter with gorgonzola and chorizo was delicious - a little pricey at £9.95. Pizza (Fiorentina) was delicious - bubbly base, perfectly cooked and Vue for money at £12ish. Glass of pinot was lovely. Avoid dessert - expensive and shop bought. Latte hit the spot but was very badly made (so! much foam). My waiter was giving old fashioned attentive friendly prompt service. Ah, hurrah! So hard to find these days. I treated myself to solo dinner here and sat outside. I slept like a log afterwards. At £35 for just me, I wouldn't regularly go but a lovely Mediterranean-vibe treat.

We were served very friendly, everyone was incredibly attentive and fulfilled our every wish. The food was delicious, thank you for a lovely evening!

Never disappointed!Best Italian food and host. You guys are amazing!Thank you so much!💕

First time in restaurant, was passing by and thought we try it. Delicious pizza and calamari starter, great wine

Fabulous food, good service!!!!! Will be returning!!!!! The dishes are delicious!!!!! Amazing if you haven’t tried you need to!!!! 😍😍😍😍

Excellent food. Good service. Good location. Placent atmosphere.

I've have frequented this Restaurant many times over the years when I visit my friend who is a local resident. Each time I'm consistently pleased with all the components. However on my most recent visit it was elevated to the fact that I was served by a young man, Shane, who not only approached me with enthusiasm but he was knowledgeable of the menu. He is an exemplary representative of this Restaurant. Well done Shane. Thank you.

Fantastic Food, outstanding service... Ticks all the boxes.

We went on a Thursday night last week after 9 pm as we were recommended by somebody local who rung ahead to make sure we got a table. We were greeted by a lovely young man who was very welcoming and happy to serve us . Sadly these days good service is hard to find. We had a bottle of red wine which was very nice and two bowls of salmone pasta which was one of the best we had tasted. We eat out normally in London or Brighton area's so that shows you how much we enjoyed our food here. We will definitely like to return to this little gem in Newhaven.

Some great taste! I'm local and could be biased as not many places around yet this is really good dining 👍 look at this portion for good price!

Such an Italian feel, and so friendly

My fave pizza EVER! Love this place. Excellent menu, food and staff.

Really nice, value for money breakfast. Great and friendly service and nice atmosphere. Recommended!

It was a bit quiet as we visited on a Tuesday. Good quality pizza. Might ask for a well done next time as the dough was a bit pale. Service was great. Didn't get the name of the person serving, he was great. Impressive selection of rum. One day we might have a tasting session with the owner?

The opening time is advertised as 5pm. Do not believe it. I visited this restaurant for the second time yesterday at 5.35pm at it was closed. Very disappointing.

Lovely pizzas, reasonably priced and great service.

Great opportunity to eat for a reasonable price

Lamb leg with mint was amazing. And a coffee, really tasty. Nice place recommend it.

Only get 2 hours parking, and it's on timed cameras

The best carbonara every tasted and an intoxicating rich warm brownie with cold vanilla ice cream, Heavenly

Pizza restaurant, also does standard Italian dishes, lasagne was good, but came with nothing.

Highly recommended for Italian breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Great menu and really helpful and friendly team.

Was hesitant to try after an awful breakfast experience a few years ago. Went out for a family meal, the pizzas were incredibly salty. Risotto was okay. Wine low quality. Would not return.

Very pleasant lunch, good choice on menu, friendly staff, will be coming back soon.

Waited ages for the menu and our order to be taken. I had spinach and ricotta cannelloni which wasn't pleasant. The spinach was chewy and waterlogged. The tiramasu I had was served in a trowaway plastic pot although really nice. Our waitress was really sweet.

Love visiting here when I see family in Newhaven. Have had a delicious Pumpkin and Lobster Risotto for dinner and fabulous Eggs Royale for breakfast. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Great food, even better service! Owner went above and beyond to cater for a fussy eater of mine! Made a completely off menu dish that they really enjoyed, we will 100% be coming back knowing that everything is catered for.

Best italian restaurant I ever been.All food is perfectly made.Thrust me I try it all.🥰

Nice afternoon visit after boat trip ,good food friendly service

Off the main , road with private parking, real Italian owner-chef, proper pizza, definitely recommend, they do also nice fish soup, pizza was delicious, nice base, friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere, quick service and most importantly, delicious food! We’ve had seafood starters, chicken for mains and pizza for kids. All lovely!

Good food good atmosphere and value for money

Very friendly, excellent service and great food. Some unusual dishes and the pizzas looked awesome (gutted I didn't order one). All of our food was excellent and really good value

Found this place by accident on a day out! Fast service and really delicious Italian food. I really couldn’t fault it all and it’s a must visit now when we are close by!!

Went there for a birthday meal, place was half full at peak time on Friday. Overall food was OK, nothing special but it was tasty and hit the spot, tried to order starters while choosing mains but apparently mains had to be ordered at the same time which was odd... When we eventually ordered, we got offered the starters to come separate to mains... So not sure why we couldn't have ordered them separately especially since they offered us desserts after we finished the mains 😂😅 Apart from the service being a bit awkward we had a nice time, thanks!

Brilliant little place to go for lunch with friends or family. Good food and good range of proper Italian dishes that are as good as nonna made! The service is fantastic, very welcoming and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Lovely little cafe in Newhaven. Parking is a pain. Be careful you don't incur a fine. Nice location opposite the harbour. Lovely decor and a pretty little cafe all round. The bruschetta was the best I have had anywhere. Perfect balance of flavours. The pasta was okay. The meat was not cooked for long enough therefore too fatty. Still a nice flavour though. Ambitious pricing for Newhaven-priced like it is in Brighton, and whilst the bruschetta was worth it our pasta portions were definitely not. Good food but a bit steep for the portions and quality. Probably wouldn't return but would recommend it for anyone looking for a good meal in the area.

Very good location I highly recommend the place 👌 👍 👏

Special place hidden in Newhaven

Small restaurant. Delicious pizza and pasta 👌

Disappointed with king prawns, but all in all, an enjoyable meal. Lovely service.

Absolutely marvellous. Excellent food and staff.

Great value and the pizza was probably one of the best I have had in the UK.

Started coming back and cant compain. Have been very helpful, friendly and food is amazing.

I had heard great things about this over the years , but hadn;t been. Now I have - to have ceasar salad, pasta - both excellent. Love the atmosphere and setting. Its just great - and a lovely change price wise from Lewes' offerings. Just here again Jan 23 , ordered an arrabiata , came quick - was really hungry, ate it , ordered another, ate that. £22 with coffee and a coke. Brilliant - : ) Happy customer

Always a great place to eat. I love the choice of specials.

Popped in for a coffee. Nice and strong unlike Costa or any of the big chains these days. Very reasonable prices. Shame they don't allow you to swap around the breakfast items - if they did I would have added 3 breakfasts to my order.

Very friendly and good service. Food fabulous.

Nice choice of food, the meal was excellent. The service was efficient and very friendly.

The main was very good, my friend and I were quite surprised and very pleased. The desert however was a little disappointing, I had the tiramisu and it was not very good (too soggy, cream was tasteless). Could also use an upgrade of the wine menu :) Service was good, I did not had a reservation and they still accommodated us even though they were very busy. Nice place overall 🙃

The food was awesome and the service was just as good 10/10

Lovely little Italian, great food, great service and very reasonably priced too!

Lovely food, very affordable, the staff was very friendly :)

Great friendly Service and Great tasting food

“Tuna” pizza arrived without tuna

Nice enough food, young staff friendly and doing their best. What they don't tell you is paid parking with no visible signals. They must get a cut of the £100 fine. Had planned to go back, no chance now.

Nicely prepared and fresh food, very affordable prices

Very good food and nice service. Gladly again....

Good Italian food, and friendly service. It can get really busy so book to be sure of a table 👍

It was only a quick sandwich for lunch but extremely well presented and great service. Many thanks.

Well its in newhaven and we drove there from lewes...I'd rate this as good as any brighton or lewes Italian. Parking restrictions in the carpark at front a disadvantage but you will find close free parking. A very pleasant surprise

food very very good and moist friendly people family friendly all family love it

The food was lovely. Nice staff.

Great genuine Italian food and staff. Will go back when we are next in UK.

Food lovely, company lovely and staff very friendly and helpful service.

If you're in Newhaven and you love Italian cuisine you must go to Luna Rossa. Fresh fish and good pasta selection. Good for a nice breakfast too while you wait for the ferry.

Superb food & service.Highly recommend the fish dishes.Excellent prices.

So good we went back there for brekkie the next day! As a lot of the other reviews have said, the two boyos serving for the evening were brilliant. So polite and attentive. Food is lovely and coming from London, is a real steal. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food at great prices!

Go here all the time with my partner. Food and service always top notch, fast and great value. They go above and beyond everytime ! ☺

Great breakfast and service. Clean toilets and a disabled toilet.

Rosario is always a very convivial host. Excellent food, good wine list, a restaurant not to be missed!

Nice food, good value for money, good selection. 2 young lads front of house, very attentive and welcoming. Would be happy to recommend.

Very pleasant lunch. Despite visiting in November, we were able to sit outside on the terrace. Friendly, efficient service and good tasty food

Fantastic food, excellent service. Found this restaurant through a local Google search and was not disappointed. If we are ever in the area again, it'll be a must place to return to. A big mention to the two young guys, brilliant service and keep up the good work.

Decent food, very clean tables, and if they are without tablecloth it is important that they are clean. A big flaw is that the place is very dark, too dark for a restaurant and not a nightclub.

Really nice service :) and tasty food! if i am in nevhaven i will visit this restaurant again. one minus. I would like some freshly squeezed orange juice

One of the top italian restaurants I've been to. Amazing flavours at a surprisingly reasonable price

Always great food and a nice atmosphere

Great find in the middle of Newhaven. Typical Italian restaurant with rather authentic flavours and recipes from Italy. Fish meals taste fresh and rich, very well presented too. Loely selection of puddings. Service is very kind and attentive. Recommended.

Very delicious meal for two tonight. Scrumptious starters, main courses and desserts. Great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food at great price and great service

Authentic Italian cuisine with local fresh ingredients. I had linguini with tomato and chilly sauce with fried haddock filets. Delicious
