We were visiting Eastbourne and found this place on Google maps. We ordered a Roasted Veg Pizza, it was well presented and very nice. The service was good and much better value than the central restaurants. I recommend this place.

Nice venue. Cute. We had a margherita and a Calzone Spanapoli with two beers together with a children's menu consisting of a small margherita and a juice. For dessert, a tiramisu. The margherita didn't particularly impress us while we really liked the calzone. The tiramisu is also good.

We have been to all of Rusticos restaurants as we love their pizzas! Authentic Italian food. Friendly staff that let our daughter test the pepperoni before we ordered to see how spicy it was. Lovely fresh ingredients, cold drinks AND cold glasses! Only marked down on atmosphere as sadly we were the only people at midday lunch, this place should be packed as great food from an independent business. We went back a few days later as we liked it so much! And wanted to try different dishes. Garlic pizza bread starter was great to share as a family. My son tried the carbonara too and loved it. Tiramisu cocktail was delicious and puddings all delicious too. Sadly too far from our home for us to go more often!

We pushed the boat out for a lunch time including drinks and getting the bill still left me smiling. We will be going again. Thanks to all at Rustica

Had been meaning to eat here for some time and it was totally worth it. We went on a quiet day (Monday) so the service was prompt and friendly throughout. Ordered two Aperol Spritz's which were a bit weak but this was happily remedied on request. The pizzas were absolutely fabulous (the Ortolana deserves special mention) and the pistachio cannoli was crisp and generously filled really hitting the sweet spot washed down with an espresso. Would happily recommend and will be back to try more items on the menu.

I love eating here. A friend recommended Rustico to us and it was such a nice restaurant, that it has encouraged us to come out to eat more often and ditch the mass produced pizza deliveries. We tried the new menu carbonara this week and it was the best pasta, I have ever eaten. The pizzas are also great and made with delicious bases.

Popped in for quick lunch on a Saturday. I ordered a pizza with extra topping. Hubby ordered a calzone type pizza. Both tasty, hot and didn’t take long. Coke was delivered in cans which I prefer as properly fizzy. Atmosphere is fun , warm, with character. Would be perfect as a group drinking and laughing on an evening.

Having been to the one in Bexhill and having ordered many times from the Eastbourne branch, they haven't missed so far, good quality Italian cuisine, with a lot more variety with their traditional Italian dishes, compared to many larger chains I've been to and is quite decently priced. ps. If you have a sweet tooth, you've got to try their Nutella Tiramisu, it's to die for, and please never remove this item from the menu

Stopped here for a late meal last night, very friendly place with a good selection of items on the menu. Service was quick and the food tasted great. Dog friendly which is a plus. One note though, it would be nice to finish off the pasta dishes in the pizza oven, just to crisp up the top a bit, for more texture. Other than that, all good. Thanks.

The pizza was exactly what I expected an Italian pizza to be. Having had authentic Italian pizza for 2 years before moving to the UK this is exactly what I expected from an Italian place. Took me right back to where I was before I moved. Definitely would return (I’ve returned already). I recommend. I’ve never eaten in yet only just take out but I definitely plan on eating in.

Being Italian I’m very fussy about my pizzas . Looking on line the photos of pizzas look good but I’m afraid taste is more important and this place is a bit of a let down. Pizza base not crispy, it’s too doughy , tomato sauce is very bland and so are the toppings. Looks good but taste is very bland . Shame as I really wanted to like it but just can’t. Unfortunately the Tiramisu was just as bland . It’s not just a case of having a proper wood fired oven, you need top ingredients to make the perfect pizzas

We went to Rustico Eastbourne, yesterday, with friends; total 2 adults, 3 children. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Lovely vegan salad as I have food intolerances, but they did also have other options I could choose from. Rustico do lovely gluten free pizza bases, from previous visits to Hastings and Ore sites. Our server in Eastbourne Rustico was Imogen. She was genuinely warm towards us on our arrival and throughout and was very happy to help us with any questions or requests we had, without imposing. The food was hot and didn't take long at all. We loved that we could see the pizzas cooking in the pizza oven, that went down very well with the kids. Based on this visit we will return again when we're next in Eastbourne.

The pizza was very good, one of the best pizzas in the UK for me so far. Pizza Regina was a bit better than pizza Cannibale. The Aperol and limoncello spritz were average, it seemed like they poured some cheap alternatives instead of real Prosecco. The staff created mixed feelings for me - some members were polite and friendly while the rest were neutral. The hygiene deserved some improvement - the tables were absolutely sticky. Overall I would come there for pizza but would refrain from ordering anything else

Went on a rare occasion for my wife and I - a lunch out, without the kids. It was a bright sunny day, the front of the restaurant was open and we enjoyed a pizza and some light bites between us. We really enjoyed the platter of stuffed olives, cheese bites and croquettes, plus a small pizza from the lunch menu. The portions were good and it was plenty for lunch. The £4.95 tasty little caramelised onion pizza was especially good value. I'd recommend this place to anyone for a reasonably priced lunch, and the staff were very welcoming. It was so good I ordered takeaway pizza a couple of days later for the family, and my fussy kids ate their Margherita - high praise indeed!

This was a takeaway and to be honest it was nearly inedible. The food was stone cold , the pizza was burnt around the edges and the base wet and soggy in the middle, the puttanesca pasta tasted like it had been thrown into a supermarket tomato sauce (no olives or capers as detailed). The desserts were awful! Will never ever order from this restaurant again!

We love the Rustico restaurants - my husband is part-Italian so he has very high standards when it comes to food, and especially Italian food. When I rang to book, I explained that our sons have fairly significant Autism. They were really wonderful. They not only accommodated our son's request for a topping not on the menu, but they asked if we wanted a table in the quieter area of the restaurant (which we did). The food is amazing - the pizzas are massive, but everything else was at appropriately-sized portions, (but there is cost of living crisis and a war on, you know). We came away really full, and the value for money was exceptional. The staff took time to talk to the birthday boy so he felt really special as well. If I could give them a 10/10 it would still be 10. Also - we worked out that we'd probably would have paid far more for fewer items had we gone to a (mentioning no name) national chain pizzeria.

The food was amazing no doubt but the service was awful! The waitress took the drinks order and came back twice and still needed to check. I waited a further 15 minutes for my drink. We then waited almost 30 minutes for the staff to come back and take our order. We were told that there was no pita bread, my frown ordered a diet lemonade only to be told later it wasn’t diet after drinking. The margarita had something fizzy in and didn’t taste like a margarita, but having waited ages for. Like I said the food was lovely. We were still eating our starters when they bright the mains out but the table hadn’t been cleared so had to fumble around to make room. Then had to wait for new cutlery. We wanted to order coffees at the end it to be told that there was none. The waiter brought over Tequila shots as an apology for the coffee but there was no lime or salt to go with the shots. Again the food in general was amazing but there was a huge lack of organisation.No loo roll in the loo and it wasn’t busy so we didn’t really get why the service was long it was.
