Solo Pasta in Eastbourne

0**Review of Rossi's Italian Restaurant in Eastbourne:** Rossi's is a small, charming Italian restaurant in Eastbourne that truly captures the warmth and authenticity of Italy. The atmosphere is cosy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The service is attentive, with staff who make you feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout your visit. The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the mixed fried fish, which is simply delicious. Crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, it is a dish that stands out and is highly recommended. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a special night out, Rossi's delivers a delightful dining experience that is well worth a visit.

Lovely restaurant which accommodated family which had a young baby. Food and service was outstanding. Calves liver, pasta, etc was delicious and they worked so hard to look after us.

Small restaurant with great food, great service and good atmosphere. This is why i am a Tripper - went to Eastbourne for an evening and tripped restaurants and found Rossi’s and it didn’t disappoint

Delicious authentic Italian food, lovely ambiance and 2 lovely friendly waitresses Ravioli was delicious as was the lasagna Highly recommended

This is a lovely little Italian restaurant off the beaten track in Eastbourne. Reasonable service, good knowledge of the menu, nice clear establishment, comfortable seating. The stuffed chicken was lovely (I requested chips rather than mash), would be nicer with the pancetta browned/cooked, it was like eating raw bacon. No mention it comes with parsnips, broccoli and carrots unfortunately, as I don’t like broccoli or parsnips. Carrots were cooked perfectly. The cannelloni 3 carne was good, but the lamb flavour doesn’t really work, the lamb flavour overwhelms the rest of the dish, it would be better with just pork and beef. It was very hot and the pasta was cooked perfectly, lovely sauce too. Service was good, check back in good time. Paying the bill took more time than necessary though. Once a bill is presented staff should return to the table with the card machine, not vanish for 10 minutes.

Excellent Food! The owner of this joint is very nice as well as the server. This is a gem in the Eastbourne area if you are looking for Italian food. We tried the Ravioli and the Genovese Pizza and they are good and tasty. If you happen to be in South of England, give them a try. They are small but very accomodating. Great food!!

Another amaxing meal - despite being short staffed we had a delicious meal up to the usual high srandard - thank you all we will definitely be back 😍

Lovely family run italian restaurant with delicious food.They had run out of seafood so had bolognese which was scrumptious .

Visited on a Saturday evening and had an enjoyable and tasty meal. The restaurant was full and in truth the wait between courses was slower than expected. That said the food was good and the main courses in particular were very tasty. We can recommend the spaghetti marinara and chicken cacciatora. The serving staff were friendly and credit to the owner who apologised for the delay in waiting for the food. Fortunately we were not in a hurry so no big deal. Well worth a visit.

I booked a table online, nice and easy to do. When we arrived we were warmly greeted by Aneta, she really made us feel at home. The restaurant is clean and has some quirky decorative items, lovely lights and a beautiful family photo on the wall, so good to have a family run business, it’s obvious they care about their customers. Hubby ordered the picante pizza, and said it was very tasty, perfect pizza base too. He said it was the best pizza he had eaten in years, and he eats them pretty regularly. I had the stuffed chicken wrapped in ham, I asked for chips instead of the mash. Vegetable to go with it were cooked perfectly. The chips were scrumptious, nice crispy seasoned coating and fluffy inside. Unfortunately, it seemed the chef didn’t actually put stuffing in the chicken as he didn’t have any. I think I will have to check he has it as described on the menu next time and try it again, as it was very nice even without the stuffing. The portions are a perfect size, as I don’t have a big appetite I took what I couldn’t manage to go, so am looking forward to the rest of it for lunch tomorrow. Nice to have proper napkins, and really comfortable quality cutlery to use as well. Small details like this make a difference. The drinks we had were good too, and served at the ideal temperature. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here, and next time we are in Eastbourne we will definitely be back. Just a pity we don’t live closer. Thank you Aneta for being the perfect host.

We went for our first time visiting Eastbourne. The meal was perfect ,and the new waiter only his second night .was so polite and intentive. We had white bait and squid cooked perfect ,pizza again perfect And my friend asked for antipasti for a main dish ,as she a picker,and they done this for her. I had mussels and all very plump So thankyou for a lovely meal Tina Pauline sam

Gorgeous food and lovely staff made for a really lovely evening meal. Everything was just perfect. Went on a Monday evening so it was very quiet with no waiting. The young waiter was so lovely. We had a mains, desserts and soft drinks and were more than happy with what we paid. Such great value for money. The restaurant is so very clean and tidy with lovely decor. If you’re planning to visit you must try the Lotus doughnuts for dessert, recommended by the chef and insanely delicious. Will definitely be eating here again.

My favourite Italian in the south east. Was going to say just in Eastbourne, I live in Hove and I rate it better than those in Hove and Brighton. Service is always impeccable, food is always amazing, not had one dodgy dish, and have frequented many times. The food is freshly made, salads crisp and fresh.. No soggy rocket! And have a very good choice of vegetarian dishes. It's a small place with big taste!.... Its not echoey, so you're not deafened by noisy children. So if you want a superb Italian with a nice quiet chilled ambience totally recommend.. My go to everytime I'm in town 😁

Excellent, service, food, ambience, could not say enough about this wonderful place. Nothing is too much trouble for these wonderful hosts.

Lovely food and atmosphere, loved all the little art decorations dotted about, especially the bird bowl with parmesan cheese. Had meatball starter, melon & prosciutto, carbonara and the vegetarian gnocci, super tasty. Such a shame we were the only people in there on a Saturday night after a larger party left as we were getting our starters. Would definitely go back!

We decided to go due to Trip Advisor reviews so wanted to share !!! The food is out of this world. I had the seafood spaghetti, it was the best pasta I have ever had, and I went to Lake Garda last year and ate lots of pasta! As the pasta was homemade it wasn't stodgy or too heavy. There was loads of seafood and a little twist when it came out. My friends had lasagne's, calves liver, ravioli and all said how amazing it was. The starter of chessy garlic bread was amazing too. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly and the restaurant was set out nicely so you aren't sitting on top of each other. Thank you for a lovely evening and meal. When I next visit Eastbourne you are a must go to!

Lovely little restaurant, very varied menu so something for everyone. Star meal was the Spaghetti Marinara, looked and tasted amazing. Also highly rated the calves liver and the Lamb shank. Great service and good value for money.

Absolutely amazing food and beautiful venue - best lasagne I've ever had. Lovely, attentive staff, fantastic all round for any occasion. 100% recommend! Thank you for a brilliant evening

So four of us popped out for any early Friday evening dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The service was so friendly and, with only about 25 covers, you really feel like you’re a guest at someone’s home. Two of us has the 2 course menu at less that £20 a head and the two wives asked for variations to the menu that they were happy to accommodate! All the food was beautifully presented and delicious, as was the house Montepulciano, it was lush. Looking forward to our next visit!

would highly recommend, fantastic food and lovely waitress. Service was excellent. We got the spaghetti marinara and the calf liver which were both delicious. Look forward to coming back☺️

Very good food, sweet location, friendly staff. I would definitly recommend this. went there several times

We had a lovely mid-week dinner at Rossi's. The restaurant is cosy and intimate, and we received a warm welcome from the owner, especially when we were the first to order the new winter special dish, which was a fish stew cooked under a pastry crust. It contained monkfish, mussels. clams, baby squid and more, and was absolutely delicious. We also had the 3 meat cannelloni, which was full of chunks of meat in a delicious sauce, and very filling. It was nice that the owner was keen to have honest feedback on the meals, especially the new dish, and we could only say good things,, as it was all excellent. We haven't been here for a while, but would go again and would definitely recommend.

We attended for dinner on a Monday night. Food very much towards the low end of average and appeared to be more of a takeaway. Spinach cannelloni was best of the bunch but would not bother ordering any of our other dishes again. Soft drinks expensive considering they are poured from a large plastic bottle, not a can or individual glass bottle. Service was, however good, but not enough to compensate for the rest of the experience. Disappointing and would not return.

Lovely restaurant friendly and welcoming and the cannelloni was the best we’d ever tasted and good value. Really enjoyed our late lunch.

Once again TripAdvisor came thru with a recommendation for an Italian meal. The service was excellent and they were more than happy to add extra items to my wife’s pizza. I had the lasagne with egg and it was perfect. There are other restaurants in the town but why take the chance when this is truly authentic . The reviews speak for themselves and well done to our waitress who was amazing.

I really have to say that we had a really good time, a very welcoming place, very attentive service. It is certainly a place that I recommend. See you again soon.

Another fantastic dinning experience at Rossi’s yesterday evening always something to eat for all the family, quality taste and atmosphere. A wonderful family run business where nothing is to much trouble, thank you Rossi’s for another tasty authentic meal .

Came here with family and friends for a lovely lunch out. The service was welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the marinara and I really enjoyed the fresh sea food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Extremely sorry to have to post a bad report. We have had one of the worst dinners. Firstly, the young lady who served us was delightful but obviously out of her depth. However my husband had liver which he asked for to be rare. As...

We had a wonderful meal here - the seafood was exceptional! A cosy restaurant with delicious food - and the coffee is great as well

Small but great family-run Italian restaurant. Very tasty food and good service. Ican recommend their pan fried liver, their Bolognese, their veal, their... everything I've tried has been first rate. Their chocolate cake is to die for.

Lovely impromptu lunch at this authentic Italian restaurant. My pizza vegetarians was really tasty and my husband particularly enjoyed the impressive spaghetti marinara as recommended by the chef. The tiramisu for dessert was light and delicious. Friendly and attentive service too! Would recommend.

We had a really enjoyable Italian meal and a very nice bottle of wine. The staff were very friendly and offered good service.

What a delicious meal we had here. Tasty, authentic Italian dishes. Can not fault this place. Reasonably priced and super flavours. Excellent friendly service. We are local and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much 😊

Great spot good food. Service was wonderful and they gave us complimentary limoncello. Opened a little early just for us. Would recommend.

Ideal place if you enjoy quality Italian food and a relaxed atmosphere, with service to match. Was on holiday with friends & we were all impressed by our choices and the fresh vegetables accompanying main courses. Tiramisu or panna cotta was the dilemma for the...

The menu has a tasty range of dishes to cater for vegetarian and meat-eaters. I had the spinach and ricotta cannelloni. It was full to bursting with filling, with a balanced amount of sauce. The pasta tasted freshly made too. My husband had a spaghetti...

Just had the most divine meal here. All good from being welcomed and seated to finish. We opted to share a starter of olives and pickles to make sure we had room for dessert. Mains were Pollo Cacciatore and Cannelloni 3 Carne. We finished with...

We just had a lovely lunch for my wife birthday. This restaurant alway deliver a good quality of food. The chef Emiliano and his wife are very friendly with the coustmas.

We were looking for somewhere to eat after the tennis. Managed to get a table for two, even tho it was very busy. Lasagne was really good and the panna cotta was delicious. All the staff were friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere

We ate at Rossi’s last night and i can honestly say it was the nicest Italian i have ever eaten. Located just off the High Street yet still close to beach and Hotels etc. From start to finish the meal was absolutely delicious! The waitresses...

Great small restaurant with small but exciting menu. Order marinara spaghetti for a spectacular treat. Delicious!!!

Absolutely fantastic food - it all tasted incredible, especially the gnocchi! The staff were lovely too, very friendly.

Excellent meal. Plenty of choice on a super menu. Reasonably price. Friendly service. Excellent atmosphere. Rounded off with amaretto shots.

We visited this restaurant because of the good reviews and we wanted an authentic Italian restaurant not a chain. All I can say is we must have visited on an off night. My wife had asparagus to start which was good followed by risotto which...

Great food , fantastic location and absolutely amazing host. Great price for an outstanding food . We will be definitely back !

My husband and I visited Rossi's whilst on a little babymoon in Eastbourne for the weekend. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. We both had pasta dishes which were delicious and the chocolate cake was amazing. Staff were lovely and attentive. Very family...

On the strength of the reviews and the desire to try somewhere new in Eastbourne, we went there to celebrate my birthday. We loved the food, the friendly service and we could not fault a single thing. In particular they turned the simple bruschetta into...

Italian cooking of a high order. Beyond the world of pasta and tomato sauce are serious soups, delicious meat and a careful handling of spicing. No need for that extra tourist pepper offered! Today's lunch - calves liver sliced very thinly, with well judged bacon/ham...

This was our second visit and both times the food has been amazing. If you’re in the area and want authentic Italian food I’m sure you won’t find better. We will be back. Thank you Emiliano for being a wonderful host. Grazie

Booked a table for 8 to celebrate a 50th Birthday. Arrived to see they had decorated with balloons & a birthday banner above our table. Such a lovey touch. We had a mixture of starters all delicious. Mains were a mixture of pastas, pizza &...

Excellent food and very reasonably priced. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. . Highly recommended

Small (so book ahead if a larger party) friendly trattoria serving basic but well executed Italian fare. Very enjoyable

A little gem in middle of town centrer , honestly one of the best lasagna and tiramisu, my other friends the really enjoyed the marinara and gnocchi ,attentive service and limoncello at and .wow Grazie mille

Rossi’s run by Emiliano, Chef Patron & his wife Aneta (front of house) is a great find.

Cooking great quality, authentic Italian cuisine, we’ve never been disappointed with a meal we’ve had there.

 If you've never been you're missing out on a great Italian restaurant....

Such a nice dinner with friends at Rossi’s. Warm welcome, great atmosphere and service and delicious food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended 👍

Great place to go after the Seven Sisters hike. Very tasty pizza and good wine :) the owners are very friendly

We've been there with friends We Ask somebody on the street where is the best local restaurant And he told US 👉go to Rossis The best Italian food I"ve ever eated Servis was Perfect very polite Eastbourne should be proud of such a lovely restaurant...

I had sea bass in saffron sauce and my friend had veal stuffed with asparagus and Gorgonzola. Both served with perfectly cooked vegetables. Absolutely delicious. Excellent service.

Disappointed that although they advertised they were open when we arrived the place was shut. Went to a great place down the road called Dem Shish instead.

Just returned from a surprisingly delicious meal at Rossi’s. We were delighted by the food, service and atmosphere. Real care was taken with every stage of the meal, from taking orders to the presentation. Looking forward to returning and trying out the other plates.

One of a large number of Italian restaurants in Eastbourne but not one we have been to before. A lovely large salad shared between the two of us and then Pizza and Pasta. The four cheese Pizza although nice was probably not the best I...

Had a really lovely meal here today. We were in Eastbourne for the airshow and found Rossi’s by chance. At 5pm, although they were fully booked, they managed to find us a table for 2 and we were so delighted! Calves liver was so tender...

A friendly, intimate restaurant that served excellent food and some good Italian wines. We had a lovely (Polish) waitress for whom nothing was too much trouble; she really looked after our group of five. We will definitely return the next time we are in Eastbourne.

The staff are as delightful as the food. Very welcoming warm and friendly. The decode is simple and has a relaxed café style feel. We had a risotto and a goats cheese salad both were exceptional and I do not say that lightly. The risotto...

The food is exceptional! Very tasty and well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff was very nice. Our waitress was awesome, the staff also worked as a...

In short, wonderful. I used to come here for years when it was Solo Pasta and it was always great staff and great food - authentic Italian. Now, even better. Seriously good and worth the effort to travel from Bexhill. I had the tuna ravioli...

Slow service. Huge pizzas but mine was SO salty and had way too much cheese. I couldn’t eat it. My husband said his Quattro formagio was less salty and less cheesy! Nobody asked if we were happy with our meal, even though there was so...

From the starter to the dessert, it was excellent. We enjoyed the food in this lovely Italian restaurant. We thought it was really good. Next time in Eastbourne, we’ll come back for sure.

Lovely to be back again after three years. Change of name and new decor but the same friendly welcome and the most deliciously authentic Italian food and wine. Congratulations on being No. 3 restaurant in Eastbourne.

This beautiful restaurant is the best Italian around. We have tried many but Rosie's is special. The setting is perfect, clean, modern and spacious. The staff are so kind and welcoming. The food is unbelievable! Fresh authentic Italian cuisine. We will be returning for sure....

Was great to be back after what seems like an age (well it has been 3yrs thanks to the pandemic etc) and it was good to catch up with Emiliano once more who hasn’t been resting on his laurels during the various lockdowns.

 Not just...

Authentic and delicious Italian food. I ordered the Spaghetti Marinara, and was not disappointed. Great service from the staff, and would come back again, and again. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Eastbourne. 10/10.

A group of us came after walking the seven sisters track so were very hungry and this restaurant delivered. Amazing Italian food, the starter prawns with garlic bread, and the carbonara were particular highlights, and try the light bodied merlot

Highly recommended. Amazing authentic Italian food! We had the carbonara and bolognese which we rate up there with the best of them. And the service was also great.

I went last night with my friends it was very busy.the place looked very elegant. I ordered a risotto with saffron and dover sole and my friend took the chicken . It was fantastic but we had to wait a long time but guarantee it’s...

Top Italian restaurant with super friendly service. The place looks small but the food they serve is simply exceptional. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

This was our first visit to Rossi's, a Tuesday lunchtime. The food quality was as excellent as the service. Far more authentic than elsewhere. We shall definitely return.

Excellent service & fabulous homemade Italian food. I had the homemade ravioli with ricotta and spinach in a Gorgonzola and walnut sauce, finished off with a homemade Tiramisu to share. My first time and won’t be the last.

Me and my boyfriend had a lovely meal in Rossi's restaurant (the only one in Eastbourne, since we're from London). We first checked the menu on Google and it was already appealing, but once in the restaurant we had no doubt! Amazing dishes, staff extremely...

Fantastic restaurant. Been here many times when it was Solo pasta and was slightly concerned it wouldn’t be as good but oh boy no need to be concerned. The food is out of this world. As Italian as it gets. The seafood is sooooo fresh....

Absolutely recommend this place to anyone the food is Absolutely wonderful the staff are very friendly and helpful in fact don't take my word for it go try it I will definitely be going back great night thank you Rossi's

Visited after a matinee at the theatre and was delighted we choose Rossi’s. Both has special’s and mine was an Italian Fish stew. Best meals in a long time. So helpful and friendly staff. If in Eastbourne a must.

Fabulous food- great choice. The best calzone I’ve ever had. Staff friends and very quick service- it’s our first visit and we will definitely go again

We were regular visitors but for personal reasons were prevented from coming for some while but now able to revisit and are pleased to see that it’s still the best in town. The restaurant has had a rebranding and a facelift. There’s a new menu,...

Our first visit to Eastbourne and we relied on reviews for evening meal decisions. There are lots of Italians in Eastbourne, some with good reviews , some with less glowing reviews. We chose one of the former and were not disappointed. From outside it looks...

We love this restaurant and their food and service never disappoint. Their Prawn Tagliatelle which we had on this visit was delicious. We shall be returning soon.

Rossi's is simply superb and an absolute must visit for wonderful homecooked food and charming staff. This is our 3rd visit having first discovered it as Solo Pasta before the excellent rebranding to Rossi's ( so much better!). We had the marinara which was absolutely...

Really enjoyed our meal at Rossi's. Charming waitress, delicious food. Really enjoyed the home made pasta. Not many diners on a Monday night but I'm sure it gets busier on more popular nights. Not that many tables so probably good to book. We love to...

We fancied Italian today … checked out the best ones in East Sussex and Rossi appealed to us … bonus it being not too far away … wow we sure were in for a treat … each plate of food was delicious and balanced perfectly...

What a wonderful find. We have just moved to Eastbourne and found this GEM. The staff were absolutely delightful, they could not help enough, explaining all dishes when asked. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was as in the title "orgasmic" I had the...

The food was good when this restaurant was Solo Pasta but now as Rossi's, it has got even better. The menu is wide enough to suit everyone but each dish is cooked with real care and passion. The atmosphere is smart but still relaxed.

Without a doubt THE BEST place in Eastbourne for fantastic food. We had pasta dishes, pizza, fish all washed down with wonderful cocktails & excellent wine. I have an unusual allergy & the lovely ladies looking after us could not have been more friendly &...
