Well where do I start.Everything apart from service was very disappointing.The food was tasteless. Literally no flavours whatsoever…I have never had such a bland food…This has to be addressed….Service was very good and welcoming but food spoiled entire experience ….That’s a huge shame….Please - owners - speak with your chefs….

We used to visit The Italian Way regularly - but this time things had changed. The menu is less interesting and the food was very poor - tough pasta and rubbery cheese - everything was tasteless - no flavour - herbs or garlic.... Maybe the chef has changed but we were really disappointed with the food!

Really pleased with the service and food! As always! Best reasonably priced Italian restaurant in Hastings. The restaurant is well decorated and clean as well. Myself and my family love it!

Quite possibly one of the worst experience of food we have ever had. Ordered lasagna and my wife some chickens dish (not sure what is was suppose to be) off the Xmas menu. I can only describe the lasagne as a bad ready meal. Was mushy, had little or no meat inside, but for some strange reason had loads of ham in! Was also not very warm in the middle so obviously found it’s way out of the microwave. It also has this strange tomato sauce swimming on the plate.My wife had two bits of tough grilled chicken, bizarrely swimming in the same tomato sauce and with that same ham on top. When the waitress asked about the food we told her. She explained that before they was cooking the lasagne in the ceramic dishes, now they stopped as they was too hot and the kitchen was now cooking lasagne differently and it’s not working! How do cooks not know how to cook lasagne??? Bizarre again we got a 10% discount. £3! After admitting they can’t cook lasagne. It’s was all very strange, the sauce and the strange ham that both appeared in our meals. Wierd experience

After a windy day of exploring Hastings we wanted somewhere to enjoy a nice hot meal and we were so pleased when we found The Italian Way. The staff were so friendly and efficient at serving, and the food was absolutely fantastic. They were good at ensuring they got everyone’s details when entering and felt the restaurant had been spaced really well for social distancing. We would definitely recommend.

I popped in about a month ago for early supper and was pleased to find this restaurant open given the current covid situation. Situated on a corner facing the sea front with its all glass exterior. Covid precautions were followed by the friendly serving staff. My starter of minestrone soup , tasty as it was, didn’t appear to be home made; all pieces of veg exactly the same size! Likewise my side salad which arrived with my main course of a pizza, seemed to have just come out of a bag. I was not offered any type of dressing so used a couple of sachets from the holder on the table. No problems with my pizza which was crispy and delicious. So all in all I enjoyed my meal and would be improved with a bit more effort.

Food was excellent, please invest in a face shield if your not going to wear a mask correctly, one server had her nose exposed, I know they are uncomfortable so get some face shields. Apart from that niggle, it was clean, the staff took care and the food was excellent!

The starter was the only decent we ate. Lasagne had hardly any beef in it and was like eating soggy cardboard in tomato watery sauce. Over cook Calamari was like chewing rubber. Never again..worst Italian in the town

They did not applying the Eat Out to Help Out discount correctly for us. Our meals (including drinks - no alcohol) were all well under £20 including drinks yet the discount was considerably less than half the bill. I couldn’t be bothered quibbling over it but it has put me off returning. The first bill we received didn’t have the discount at all so we had to ask.Service from staff was slow (hard to get their attention) though food arrived quickly after ordering. Food quality was reasonable.This place does big group events upstairs. On the ground floor there’s a view of the roundabout and the room is fairly loud - this is a place to visit whilst shopping - get fed then leave - not a romantic or relaxing place.

Yesterday, an old schoolfriend came to visit me. We went for a lovely walk along the seafront as I was nervous about going into a café as I've been having chemo. But after a while we got cold on the seafront. I remembered that the Italian Way is warm and very clean, so we went there. The staff were absolutely lovely, and they didn't mind that we only wanted hot drinks. While my friend and I were getting lovely and warm and catching up on each other's news, I noticed how unobtrusively and quietly the staff thoroughly cleaned each table and the place settings after customers left. They are as keen on hygiene as the wonderful staff in the chemo unit at the hospital. And the loos are super clean too. I remembered previous visits to the Italian Way, before my diagnosis. The food was always really delicious. My favourite was always the soup and garlic bread before the meal, but the main courses were great too.Now that I've had the courage to go into a café again, I'm planning to go to the Italian Way for a lovely meal soon.

Our daughter and son in law wanted to have an anniversary lunch in hastings as we were local. They booked a table for 6 and we arrived at 4 on the dot. We were met by a wonderful smiling waitress who showed us to our table and made us feel very at home. They took our orders and we sat with our drinks. When our orders arrived the portions were fantastic. My grandson 6 tried his hand at Italian they replied in Italian and made such a fuss of him. We have travelled over italy and this is the welcome you would receive in any italian restaurant. I would reccomend that you book your table and loosen ou waistband as you may put a few inches on. Thank you so much for the great service and fantastic food xx

After reading so many good reviews, we went for our anniversary dinner and we were so disappointed! The pizza was awful, no flavour except tomato sauce, the sea food was chewy and bland. The service was appalling, it was quiet and the staff just stood around. Never asked about our meal or if we wanted another drink! We had to summon one over and when they finally brought our drinks to wash down the tasteless pizza, they brought my wife the wrong drink which was a simple vodka and soda water but yes, they got it wrong! Overall a terrible experience and we will avoid going back and dissuade others from going too!

We are visiting for the weekend and of the local restaurants this one seemed the best. Its a small size but feels very cozy with nice decor, huge windows and some friendly staff. There was lots of great vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options which is always great to find. I had the seafood risotto which was really tasty and felt like the fish was sourced locally and recently. Would definitely recommend and will be sure to visit again if we come back.

We drove down from Nottingham to spend New Year’s Eve with my husband, who works in Hastings, and we found just what we were looking for to wave 2019 goodbye: actual Italian food, delicious, well cooked, with best ingredients. To add up, a pleasantly calm-feel-at-home atmosphere and perfectly measured service.What else to expect? Well, besides all that: prompt and accurate email responses..., definitely recommend this restaurant!

We first went here 2 years ago and were not disappointed and once again they have come up trumps. The food is superb and the staff are very friendly, a compliment to the manager. The only disappointment is that we come from Southampton and there is not an Italian Way there, they would make a bomb. The price of the meals are also very good value.

what can i say what a load of rubbish i had a mushroom and tomato starter .well it was a few small mushrooms in a source out of a tin of tomatoes with cheese on tasteless and well pretty disgusting .Then we get to the main i had a vegetarian pizza it was dripping in grease and not much veg on it just cheese and oil was so gross and sloppy i could not eat it my wife was no better added to that the service charge it was a massive wast of money . I went out hungry and come home hungry but £50 lighter i should have refused to pay but as it was a birthday party i did not want to spoil it for the others . I will not be going back there any time soon .

Popped in here without a booking we were seated quite quickly. We had been to Rome earlier in the year and ordered exactly the same dishes we had one evening in Rome and I can honestly say that with the exception of the dessert tiramisu everything else was as good as we had had in Italy. But the tiramisu was a real let down a present enough desert but tiramisu it was not. But I would certainly eat here again.

A lovely independent Italian with a nice atmosphere and sea views. The staff were friendly without being overly familiar and service was quick. The food is good value considering the portion sizes. My only grumble is they charge the same per volume for alcoholic and non-alcoholic lager. £3.50 for a 330ml Becks Blue (that costs me 50p in a supermarket so goodness knows what they pay wholesale) is a massive mark-up. Other than that a very good first time experience and we’ll definitely be back.

We dont live locally but visit Hastings three or four times a year and will always go to the Italian Way for lunch. Why? Very simply because it is a traditional family run restaurant providing great quality sensibly priced meals. I visited with my partner and daughter and we had pasta carbonara .... excellent, pasta vongole...my partner's favourite, and I had spaghetti with meatballs. The meatballs were minced beef and pork and were superb. With wine and two soft drinks plus calamari and garlic bread to start and affogato as my.dessert. the bill was around £65. Good service and very busy too. Much recommended

My wife and I decided at the last minute to go out for a meal for New Year's Eve. Late in the afternoon I telephoned and booked a table for two without any issues. We arrived on time to a fairly empty restaurant and were greeted and shown to a table upstairs overlooking the beach and given menus. A drinks order was taken and our drinks arrived almost immediately, when our food order was taken. I ordered Minestrone soup to start and Susan ordered a salmon and prawn cocktail. Both came swiftly and both were absolutely delicious. For main course, I ordered Spaghetti Amatriciana, which I had never had before, and Susan ordered Spigola Mediterranean, a dish containing her favourite fish, sea bass, along with a side order of roasted seasonal vegetables. Again both came in a short time after we had finished starters and both were of top quality and delicious. We didn't have room for dessert!

From the outside it looked like a cafe rather than a restaurant so we decided to pop inside for lunch. The staff were friendly and took our order quickly. The food came pretty sharpish, big portions and looked amazing. However, my spaghetti carbonara had fatty lumps of bacon chopped up so I had to pick the fat out and was left eating spaghetti in a white sauce for £8.50. My partner ordered pasta al forno, the sauce had no taste to it at all, very bland. He left most of it (basically ate coz he was hungry) so again at the price of £9.95 it was an expensive lunch. The kitchen is open plan which caused a mist over the tables and condensation on the windows so you couldn't see the sea views. They took the plates, but never asked why my partner hadn't eaten his or comment on all the fat left on mine? They then took ages to bring the bill. By the time we left our clothes smelled of cooking due to the lack of ventalation. Im not sure if this was a one off but we certainly didnt enjoy our food. Shame because they could make this place a little gem.

I had the Carbonara, my partner ordered the steak. The food arrived quite quickly and the waitress was attentive. The Carbonara was extremely nice with a rich sauce and a generous portion size. The medium steak was cooked exactly as ordered and also a good size. The deserts - well presented and lovely tasting BUT the portion sizes were miniscule. Think clock face, about 2.5 minutes of angle: I would estimate they managed to cut 24 portions from one round cheesecake! So, in summary, excellent service, excellent food, good value dinners. Nice puddings; but extremely poor value. Would happily visit again, but won't be getting a dessert.

My sister & I ate here this evening and were treated wonderfully. My wheelchair was accepted v happily and they made space for it, were so friendly and the service was just right. Not hurried along but not left waiting. Definitely recommend for all occasions and the smoked salmon dish I had was really delicious at very reasonable prices.

We were looking for somewhere vegetarian friendly to go for lunch as myself and my 8 year old are vegetarian (my husband isn’t). We all loved our meals, we had homemade garlic bread with mozzarella which was very tasty, and our main meals were beautiful, the staff were lovely and I thought the service time was good. Vegetarian friendly (LOTS of options). We were also impressed with the value.

Situated on the seafront, the view from this restaurant looks right out to sea. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated and the staff are friendly . Food was also of a good quality , but was very slow . We waited an hour for our main course and that only arrived after I had got up and found a waiter and asked where our meal was. We received no apology for this at all .Meal price was reasonable ( but charging £5 for a pint of lager is excessive.) Nice food but I would not go back as I prefer more prompt service

It is often said that you can find the best places by how busy they are or get. This is really true of this restaurant. Have popped in several times and always wowed by the quality of the food with portion sizes that are just right. Had the lasagna this visit and it was still bubbling when served. The prices are on point and experience is great. Recommended.

Whilst visiting family in Hastings we had booked in to the Italian Way. I enjoyed a nice pizza, nice taste and flavours but base a little heavy. The Spag Bowl was ordered by one of the group, not much mince was in this one so most was left, not great. When the waitress attended our table ( after we had eaten but Not during ) we commented as to the quality of the Spag Bowl, without hesitation she apologised and said it would be removed from our bill, so Great Customer Service here, but pity we needed to make the complaint. Service was good, restaurant quite nice to sit in. Average review here but would come again if wanted Italian food. Thanks guys.

In Hastings for a day trip and needed somewhere to eat early evening on a Saturday c5pm. Having strolled around town we opted for The Italian Way. Not long after we sat down the place was full and tables were being reserved once vacated and so bookings early evening may be in order.

Visited this restaurant on our last night. We were in Hastings for 5 days but could not get in on previous days because it was packed out. Managed to get a table for 2 when we arrived (after a few minutes wait) at 6.30 pm but just after us people were asked to return a little later (which if they agreed to the waiters put "reserved" on the next table that became free). Despite us both liking Italian food we were not overly hungry so we ordered the house burger. It was very thick and cooked to perfection as were the chips. A very enjoyable meal.

We popped into the Italian way for a lunchtime meal, the service was good, we weren't waiting long for our food. I had a pizza, it was slightly bigger than the plate which made it quite difficult to cut but it was very tasty. I was with two others who had pastas and they found it delicious too. The overall price was very good between the three of us, but we did not stay for dessert as we were full up from the mains which were a good size. Overall, a good meal.

Decided to eat here after a day out in Camber Sands no booking, on the off chance 4 adults and two children. They accommodated straight away. It was a Monday and they were busy so a good sign. Staff were great, putting two tables together. Food was lovely and staff were very efficient and helpful. Can't complain nice unhurried meal and well priced. Van recommend.

Me and my girlfriend went here on Saturday afternoon/evening and had a lovely time. We did not have a reservation but they happily and quickly seated us. The food was delicious, we both had 3 courses and the mains were particularly nice, I got the sea bass and my girlfriend got the sea food risotto. We will go back and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others to go here.

We visited around 7.30pm Thursday 5th July. Restaurant was quiet, the food was amazing, hot, decent sized portions and it arrived quickly. Staff were very friendly and polite. Don’t know why some people are writing bad reviews. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Hastings. Prices were reasonable as well, and we were all stuffed after 1 main and 1 dessert.

Visited here on a night during half term in a party of 8, 4 adults, 4 children. The staff put 2 tables together so we all could sit together. The menu offered a varied range of Italian food all reasonably priced. The children's menu was extremely good value. The food was fresh and tasty and everybody enjoyed their meal. I had the calzone which was delicious. The desserts were also very good and were big portions. Overall very good and would definitely eat here again.

Pre theatre meal. Food good and service very attentive staff, in particular Laura, who was efficient, friendly and bubbly. Booked for 6pm and out in plenty of time to get to the White Rock, which is a gentle 5 minute walk away.

We dined at Pizza Express as we get 25% off our pizza bill by being Odeon Cinema Limitless Members. So, not only did we get an encouraging discount, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience, the food and wine were delicious and with warm service. Thank you.
