Mamma Mi in Eastbourne

Whenever we go to Eastbourne we always go here. The staff are so friendly and the food is lovely. We have been to Italy a few times ,the food here is just as good Really do recommend Mamma Mia

No puedo alabar este lugar lo suficiente.He venido aquí durante varios años, a veces con colegas para reuniones y, a veces, con amigos y familiares.Lo más importante es que el servicio y la gente son absolutamente maravillosos.La comida es deliciosa, auténtica y muy bien de precio. También está recién cocinado y delicioso.El café y los pasteles son deliciosos.Una de mis cosas favoritas es que hacen algo llamado caffe sospeso. Aquí es básicamente donde compras un café "en suspenso". Significa que cualquiera que esté un poco triste o esperando el día de pago puede venir y preguntar si hay caffe sospesos. Si lo hay, obtienen una taza de café gratis que ha sido pagada por adelantado por un extraño anónimo.Esta es una hermosa idea que se originó en Nápoles. La gente aquí viene de Nápoles y la hospitalidad es insuperable.Está abierto todo el día y por la noche y también tiene licencia.Está limpio y preparado para el distanciamiento social y se siente totalmente seguro.Me gusta aquí. ?Muchas gracias.

Muy buena comida, variedad limitada de platos, pero todos los platos son muy agradables, personal muy servicial. Las pizzas tienen un buen precio y la base de masa / pizza es muy buena. Ambiente relajado de cafetería, más que ambiente de restaurante, aunque el servicio era bueno. Le recomendamos que elija sus propios ingredientes para la pizza, ya que algunos no son del agrado de todos.

Mis langostinos estaban crudos, lo envié al plato, regresó con langostinos descascarados y seguro que todo estaba en el microondas, ya que la pasta era terrible. No recomendaría este lugar, ya que no estaba seguro cuando lo caminaba tan sucio y solo hacen un menú italiano, seguramente harían su propia pasta y ñoquis, pero justo al pasar la cocina había algunas bolsas ABIERTAS justo afuera del tiolet. ?

Muy impresionado con la comida y el servicio, Gianpaolo fue muy amable y servicial, cocina italiana muy auténtica, todo está recién cocinado, el chef Davide es increíble, nunca desapareció, todo viene caliente y muy bien presentado.Bien hecho

Mientras estábamos en un mini descanso de madre e hija, encontramos este restaurante y fue el final perfecto para unos días maravillosos. Muy buen servicio y comida deliciosa en un restaurante familiar relajado es lo que obtienes. La comida está recién hecha y las porciones son generosas. . . ¡no dudes en ir!

Ni siquiera sé por dónde empezar. . . la comida más hermosa con el mejor servicio! Nuestro camarero era excelente y no me puedo quejar del servicio que nos brindó durante nuestra visita. La comida era deliciosa y, para hacerlo aún mejor, tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio. Italiano auténtico súper lindo con un ambiente familiar realmente agradable. ¡Se lo recomendaré a todos los que conozco! ! ! !

He estado en Mamma Mia varias veces en diferentes ocasiones, desde café y dulces hasta su almuerzo buffet, así como la cena y, sinceramente, es el mejor restaurante italiano en el que he estado. La comida es simplemente deliciosa y el servicio y la actitud amable del personal y el propietario es aún mejor. Increíblemente amable y muy complaciente. Visitaré muchas más veces y sin duda lo recomendaré a amigos y familiares.

Este restaurante ni siquiera merece una estrella. Desafortunadamente, este fue el segundo restaurante italiano que visité anoche que me rechazó por estar solo. El restaurante estaba medio vacío, pero el camarero me dijo que solo podía tener una mesa afuera. Hacía frío, así que no quería que me empujaran afuera. Cuando le pregunté por qué, dado que el restaurante estaba casi vacío, dijo que era entonces, pero que pronto `` necesitaría todas las mesas ''. , 'Tratar a las personas que cenan solas con desprecio es realmente una actitud desagradable. Solo puedo suponer que solo están interesados en obtener la mayor ganancia posible ahora debido al bloqueo y la pérdida de ingresos. Pero esto no excusa el mal comportamiento. Rechazó a un cliente que pagaba cuando su restaurante estaba casi VACÍO. Soy italiano y este no es el tipo de comportamiento que jamás recibirías en Italia. Para un restaurante que se enorgullece de su actitud amistosa, según su página de Facebook, es una broma. No volveré a visitarlo nunca más y ustedes tendrán muchos negocios futuros porque iba a recomendar este lugar a amigos y colegas. Ahora les advertiré que se mantengan alejados. No mereces ser personalizado cuando tratas a la gente así.

Mamma mi era un encantador restaurante italiano auténtico que sirve excelentes pizzas a precios muy razonables.El personal fue brillante y nada fue un problema.Si puede conseguir una mesa en agosto, se beneficiará del plan de salir a comer para ayudar, ¡así que ordene los 3 platos! !¿Volverá definitivamente?PDAcabo de leer el último crítico que dijo que no valía 1 estrellaFui testigo de esa conversación y el propietario fue extremadamente educado y dijo que todas sus mesas habían sido reservadas debido a comer fuera para ayudar.Sí, él ofreció una mesa afuera para las personas sin cita previa, ella era exactamente eso, una caminata endiscos compactos

Very very good and run by the owner, thats why its so good, the buck stops there..great food, great relaxed chilled atmosphere, will be back,

We stumbled across Mamma Mi around 5 years ago. It's certainly a hidden gem in Eastbourne and our firm favourite Italian. We are never disappointed by the wonderful authentic dishes and the variety on offer. The relaxed atmosphere amd decor gives you a real sense of being in Italy and the friendly welcoming staff make you feel at home. We wouldn't go to any other italian in Eastbourne now, just beautiful food.

Wonderful food, service and prices. Langoustine and seafood pasta was superb. Transports you straight to Italy. Very friendly and attentive service. We've been coming here for over your years and it's never failed to impress us. Grazie! .Grazie

GianPaulo was amazing, truly enjoyed, especially bruschetta, very authentic place!!! Highly recommend!

Great food, very good service, clean and friendly - will come again. Highly recommended Popped I. Fir a quick lunch and was not disappointed

The best kitchen from Italy and the staff is very hospitality, the pizza is reminiscent of Naples and they satisfy your desires. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Estábamos buscando un restaurante italiano en Eastbourne y el primer lugar al que llamamos estaba lleno. Me alegro mucho porque Mamma Mi resultó ser una delicia absoluta. Deliciosa pizza (allí con lo mejor que hemos probado, incluso en Italia) y el camarero más amable para quien nada era demasiado problema. ¡Y a un precio muy razonable! Volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Eastbourne.

Just a very short walk for me is my favourite little Italian restaurant in Eastbourne. Good food, very reasonably priced with a friendly owner and staff.

Le panini (véritable recette napolitaine avec pâte à pizza) est excellent, tout comme les pizzas ! La "simple" margarita est délicieuse ! Très bonne adresse et service sympathique.

I visited this restaurant with my partner. Its' location is close to the Eastbourne train station. The food tasted great, the portions were fair and the cost about £8-10 per main dish. This restaurant has also some good lunch deals including a main course and a fizzy drink for £7 or a main course and an alcohol drink (wine or beer) for £8. The staff is polite and very friendly Italians. Definitely recommend it.

Very cosy and intimate restaurant. Quality of food, choice and value is excellent. Would highly recommend.

We have been here a couple of times and will be back as soon as we can. The service is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, the food is excellent with a good choice especially of delicious deserts. Very reasonably priced and can’t wait to return!

Nothing to complain about cosy restaurant good food very good helpful staff will be back and lots of choice anything is no trouble

We had looked forward to the buffet as customers on TripAdvisor had rated it well. It was weird it being a buffet yet we were not allowed to serve ourselves. It was like a supermarket salad bar where you were handed out your small portion of 6 choices dished out with what looked like a teaspoon. The resulting plate was then put in a microwave which resulted in different degrees of 'hotness'. In addition, some of my cauliflower was inedible. So, overall disappointing.

Whilst there are several Italian Restaurants in Eastbourne of which we have tried them all this one is by far the best . Traditional Italian cafe with amazing homemade food and so reasonable. This time we had the delicious croquettes followed by Calzone . So tasty . Service friendly and good . Can't wait to go back again .

We have been to this restaurant last weekend and absolutely loved it. I had the calzone and my mother in law the vegetarian pizza and it's been the best pizza we have had in a long time. The chairs are a bit uncomfortable but the atmosphere was cosy and the waiters very attentive.

We found Mamma Mi by accident, while looking for somewhere else, but it was an accident that was meant to be. We had lunch, my wife had canneloni and I had the seafood linguine. Both were as good if not better than anything we've eaten in Italy. Service was friendly and prices were not bad at all. We will be back for more and can happily recommend it.

we had dinner with two friends on Saturday, good polite and friendly service, the pizza was amazing, and the pasta alla pescatora exceptional, surely we will return often

Amazing food. The service was very fast. One of the best Calzone’s I’ve had! Would definitely recommend for food at more than a reasonable price 🍕

First time I’ve visited this little gem and was amazed how the food was. I ordered carbonara and it was the best carbonara I’ve tried in Eastbourne. I highly recommend here and I look forward to coming back again very soon.

Mamma Mi is a down-to-earth restaurant with authentic Italian good food and lovely staff. When we visit family in Eastbourne, we go there regularly during the day, sometimes just for coffees, other times for pizza, buffet dishes or pasta and we will come back again and again. So, I really can recommend it.

Had a great evening in this restaurant last night ,great choice on the menu.The meals were super,good atmosphere,Can’t wait to return.

This location has been a number of different eateries over the last few years. Now, the current incarnation of Mamma Mia is serving very good simple Italian food at reasonable priices. Open at lunchtime and late week into weekend evenings. All in all, excellent food in tidy surroundings with friendly staff.

This restaurant is a little gem with excellent, friendly service, great food and with very reasonable prices too. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks to all the staff!

Can not get more authentic Italian than this place The pizza is really good The base is just unbelievable The perfect place for one !!!

We went there for my birthday with my partner and our two children. We were a bit disappointed to be put in the back room, between the stairs and the fridge.

A good place to drop in for coffee or lunch, or even breakfast or dinner. The range of A La Carte and pre-prepared cold counter are highly recommended

We like the food here and keep hoping the place will get better. We visited and my wife had the garlic bread with cheese, which was fresh and tasty. I had the dried ham and salami, which came with stale supermarket bread!

Delicious Italian food at a more than reasonable price. It wasn’t busy when we went but regardless it was a great meal and we couldn’t fault anything. Will certainly be back.

From the outside it looks a little shabby, but that’s exactly what the best Italian restaurants look like, and this is the best Italian restaurant for miles around. Absolute first class food and such delightful service.

Great Italian with fab menu, never disappoints in atmosphere or food The wine flows, the pizzas are incredible and very well priced Will certainly be visiting again soon

I have eaten here twice now in the past month. I could not have been more impressed with my first visit. The Aperol Spritz was like I make them at home, strong and fizzy, YUM. A fabulous welcome from the owner, from Naples, and this place does feel like a bit of Italy in Grove Road. I asked for my favourite Italian dish which wasn't on the menu, hey presto, he said no problem, the chef can do that. And my goodness it was amazing.

Very rude, waiting on deserts and drinks for quite some time.

We found this place on a day trip to Eastbourne thanks to Trip Advisor.

First time here and we were very impressed. The starters prevented a 5 start rating as the bruschetta was a bit dry and burnt. However, the mains very much redeemed this. The linguine pescatore was incredible, amazing flavours with loads of fresh shellfish.

Very rarely write reviews but had to for this place. So nice to eat at a genuine Italian and not one of the usual dull and predictable chain restaurants. Not much to look at from the outside but the food is absolutely delicious - pasta was a hit for all of the family and the desserts were outstanding. Definitely with a visit if you're in the area.

My wife & I were looking at the menu in the window of Mamma Mi when our GP rushed out to say that it was first class and we really should try it. We didn't have the time that day but the following week we went in for brunch and have subsequently taken friends there for dinner. Our GP was not wrong!

For the price of a MacDonald's value meal I sampled some of the best of Naples' culinary heritage. I sampled four dishes for only 5 pounds. I heartily recommend.

The restaurant fells proper italian, EXELENT service, and the best Lingiuni Pescadore i ever tasted - big portion also (my husband couldn't finish his) And the owner even gave us a discount on a italian wine he recomended us.

As you walk into this place you immediately get a feel of Italy - italian Owner - absolutely lovely and open minded regarding your desires in regards to food.

What a lovely piece of Italy this restaurant is. With Dulio and his staff making you the most welcome, as you would expect from Italy. The food is superb from starters to sweets and all in between. If you are ever in this area this is one Italian restaurant not to miss.

Very good food, giving that truly "Home Cooked" authentic taste. All the food is cooked fresh to order and while not fancy is very tasty and excellent value for money. Whilst my wife was having regular hospital visits this was our go to restaurant before she went in and (don't tell the hospital) but we had takeaways to help make her stay more bearable - Thank-you very much for that.

Delicious hot chocolate today in lovely, friendly atmosphere. Louisa is a star. Recommend the Aperol too for a different mood!

We love going here we live in oxfordshire and when we come to eastbourne we always go here .The food is great never have had a complaint .

Lovely coffee, weenie pastries and the best most engaging service and friendliness you will find anywhere. The take away buffet is good value with nice authentic dishes - a mixed platter for £5. Italian family run, proper authentic tastes and ambiance.

Superb food and family Italian service Def pop in good value fresh food The atmosphere is typical Italian and the pizza are home made with great wine Coffee was tasty and food was quick

We drove from Hailsham to have something substantial to eat. We left at 16.15. Arrived before 16.45, their opening hours 8am - 18.00. Sat down, asked for menu was told kitchen closes an hour before ie 17.00..husband not amused to be told that at 16.45. So now in Morgan's and will not return to Mamma Mia.

This place is easy to walk past without noticing it (as I have many times!), but it's really rather special inside. It feels very authentically Italian, and the staff are all Italian. The décor is attractive and classy, the music is played at the perfect volume, and the staff are very friendly. We had the lunch buffet, which offered a large choice of tasty and healthy dishes (mostly vegetarian). The desserts looked delicious, but we were too full after the buffet, so we'll have to try them another time. Well worth visiting this little corner of Italy...

With really lovely food served with a smile. Mamma Mia is our favourite italian restsurant. Also a great place to have coffee and pastries, it's our go to cafe/restaurant. The staff are really fun and love a bit of banter with their customers. We go there often and have never been disappointed.

Visited on a rainy Sunday and the restaurant was not too busy. We just had a snack of coffee and garlic bread. The food and drink was good, however bit disappointed to see so many tables in cleared, and for a while. We were a little unsure of what to expect initially given the untidy tables and that whilst not unwelcomed, felt that the one member of staff was a little busy. We would go back, as the coffee was good.

Came here as my partner had always wanted to! We were not disappointed! Pizza’s were lovely! Only thing I wish we had done was got one to share as our eyes were bigger than our bellies! But that’s not a bad thing on portion size! Also had an iced coffee which was so good I got one to take away with me when I left! Will be going again :)

I keep coming back to this wonderful Italian restaurant for their great buffet and good house wine. As soon as you walk through the door one of the waiter's or owner takes your order and if you decide to choose from the buffet you are given 4 choices of delicious rations razionis.

Went for the first time today, the restaurant is small and cozy, only a couple of indoor tables. Decor is dated but not taccy as it brings character due to it all being related to Italy.

Tutto molto buono... le persone al servizio sono molto disponibili e simpatiche... finalmente un po’ di vera Italia in Inghilterra

All really good, mamma mi is a very good italian restaurant, gli cancellare order pizza and pasta and other italian meals. I suggest it

This restaurant is one of the best in eastbourne, food very good, mostly pizza and and pasta. I advice also to try breakfast because is really good, The prices are good and the service is excellent.

The restourant is very cool and the foods is really really good. I advice everyone to go there , if you want eat the real italian food.

Have been coming to this fabulous place for best part of a year now.Coffee is superb along with a variety of other drinks on offer.The food lunchtime is a buffet style extremly reasonable with plenty of choice.Dinner is like any great Italian resturant again plenty of choice.I recomnend linguine pescatoria (fish linguine).Plenty to get excited about which is rounded off by the fantastic service.The two best personalities that stand out so warming friendly welcoming are Genaro and the lovely louisa...nothing is too much trouble.Excelkent service.Very happy customers...always.

Excellent food served with a smile by the amazing team. Real pizza from Naples,excellent desserts too Strongly recommended

Excellent food, friendly environment, an original Italian restaurant Pizza is excellent as the dessert and coffee Reasonable prices

The buffet was 10/10 and the staff were great. Will be a regular from now on. Great value too! Calzone was very nice as well.

Sono andato a mangiare qualche giorno fa, la pizza era veramente buona,anche se cotta con forno elettrico, però la qualità della salsa e della mozzarella è veramente buona. Lo consiglio a tutti gli italiani che hanno nostalgia di casa. Il proprietario è molto simpatico e disponibile

The first time I came I was really scared it was not going to be good but I looked at the reviews and comments I was confident it was going to be good it was so good nothing like I have ever had really good great service and worth the wait the wait is not even long I personally say best but it’s my perspective you sure should try the pizza

Called in here on the way to watch cricket, what a good find it was! Good choice of breakfast and coffees . Food ordered and after a short wait the breakfasts were served. The food was outstanding and ample sized portions, all cooked fresh. The waitress was very friendly. Selection of teas and coffees available . Very good value for money.

Called in early Sunday morning after travelling from Essex to visit Saffrons for a cricket match. Coffee and teas just fine and excellent freshly cooked breakfast.

Such a positive environment, service with a smile and home cooked italian food that leaves you feeling healthy and refreshed. Such a hidden gem in eastbourne it quickly became my favourite place to visit. Been here loads of times and everytime it's great!

Very cause Italian restaurant with great food and even nicer service! Attentive staff can prepare not only dishes out of menu but your favorite once. Great coffee and selection of puddings available.

Don't be deterred by the slightly tacky exterior.

Been past a million times and finally went in this evening to eat with my other half. Food was brilliant very fresh and tasty, the best Italian I have eaten in a long time. Very friendly and welcoming staff in a relaxed setting. We will definitely be coming back. My new favourite pizza place in Eastbourne. Thank you very much.

Went on a freezing April evening and despite there being only a handful of customers the atmosphere was very pleasant and the staff friendly and extremely helpful including providing a takeaway container for our left over olives. Good thin crust pizza and a nice touch is that you can order extra chillies at no cost. A laid back no nonsense family restaurant. The complimentary drinks with coffee also was a good warming touch on a cold night !

Food is still good and excellent coffee, but the place has become dirty. A visit to the toilet brings back the smells of Naples. There are trays of pizza dough stacked on the floor, the kitchen is 2metres from the toilets and the food mixer is working on the floor. The toilet was dirty and smelly and had not been cleaned for a while. It has made us think twice about returning.

Sono stata con la famiglia a Eastbourne il lunedì di Pasqua....avevo prenotato qs ristorante e ho trovato proprio un posto molto carino.I proprietari gentilissimi ci hanno trattati proprio con riguardo....il pranzo molto buono....linguine con pesce ottime e dolci pure.Davvero speso il giusto e....soddisfatti....saluti ai proprietari....noi siamo quelli di Firenze e lo consigliamo a tutti quelli che vanno a visitare le scogliere di eastbourne

Super Italiener mitten in Eastbourne ... netter Chef, leckere Pizza, angenehme Preise Einfaches, aber sehr ansprechendes Ambiente

We visited this place at lunchtime and it was straight out of any town or city backstreet local restaurant/cafe in Italy staff were funny friendly attentive and very helpful there was a small wait for our order that when the pizza came it was traditionally Italian wonderful base quality tomato and mozzarella with hundred cent first grade toppings we couldn't manage a desert but we had a coffee which was amazing and we ended up buying a bag of beans to take home with us you must visit the place even if it's just for the coffee

Simple italian food well-cooked & reasonably priced. Very friendly staff (and owner I think). Not very large, so best to book.

I got there early and had a drink whilst completing some work with no stress. Once my sister arrived we had a drink and space to chat. When we got around to ordering food it was lovely.

Went here on Saturday with some friends as we were heading off to the theatre for a a 50th birthday. First time here, this was based on good reviews on TripAdvisor.

We booked early thank goodness as it is a very busy restaurant. The staff are hilariously funny and welcoming with wit and charming banter. We went for the buffet meal which was tasty and generous. It was amazing we arrived at 1pm and left at 3:15, we had a lovely time. Oh, the coffee is quite delicious. We will be back soon...highly recommended...

Genuine Neapolitan restaurant. Good, simple food. Simple decor. Central location round the corner from the Station. Friendly and helpful staff.

My wife and I eat there when visiting the town, and recently took a friend along. There is a chilled buffet bar, a la carte, and daily specials. Most of the buffet selection is available daily. Food is then heated. The a la carte and daily are cooked from scratch. The owner is the chef and creates a welcoming atmosphere. Food is mainly Italian but with some Spanish and British choices also. All very tasty.

Excellent fresh and homemade cakes and great coffee. You can also buy the freshly ground coffee to take home. Very tasty pizzas and good value lunch buffet

A friendly café-restaurant with an outstanding and reasonably-priced lunch buffet plus a number of Italian specialities, sometimes with a concession to Uk taste. One of the few places in Eastbourne where you can get a good expresso and where they understand the meaning of a "caffè lungo".

The restaurant was nice and cozy, with great selection of dishes at a very good price. I did enjoy my meal and coffee, so did my mother! I was so tempted to try the dessert, however the portion was so filling that made my pudding stomach go away. I strongly recommend this place.

I've been something of a regular over the past two years. Popping in for a plate of Seafood Linguine and a glass of red at lunchtime before the school run. Even if the Seafood Lingine is not on the specials board the chef will always freshly prepare it. I've had this dish all over Italy but never as good as at Mamma Mi in humble East bourne. Gennaro always greets with a big, cheery Ciao making sure everyone who comes through Mamma Mi' s doors feels incredibly welcome. It is, quite simply the nicest cafe in Eastbourne serving the very best, freshly prepared and authentic Italian food.

Great fun. I went twice on consecutive days. Pizzas were very nice and so was the pasta. Very nice service and affordable prices.

Was lovely food and desserts especially for kids! Lovey location and staff very friendly and helpful. Will be back!

We have just had the most fantastic pizza party at Mamma Mi where 12 children from 3-6 years old made their own dough (with help from parents), prepared their pizza and helped to put it in the oven. A truely authentic and memorable experience for all. Best of all, they tasted AMAZING too and were well and truely devoured as party food (never seen little people eat so much!). It was the first children's party they had held and Louisa (beautiful 'front of house' lady) and Davido (pizza chef extraordinnaire) really did an amazing job at managing the logistics and making everyone feel so welcome. It was an excellent, value for money, delicious experience. Thank you all so much!!!

The service and staff at this restaurant made our visit a brilliant experience. Huge amount of character and really good food. We had just made a 9 hour drive from south west Cornwall and felt totally re-energised within minutes of being seated.

I return to this restaurant on a regular basis, purely because of friedly feel . The staff work so hard to make every visit memorable. The food and coffee are always of an excellent standard.

There isn't another place for loads of miles where to eat authentic Napolitan/Italian food and the prices are incredibly fair
