Trattoria Italiana in Rother

This authentic Italian restaurant has a very impressive choice of dishes. We loved the mussels and fish, The staff were very friendly and attentive to my elderly parents. One of the best restaurants in Bexhill. Grazie mille!

Very Disappointing Service . Not usually totally ignored . Asked for water 3 times ..then we had our main course .plates removed then waited for desert menu . Half an hour later got up from table and requested desert menu .Not as if it was busy as by now it 3 pm and we got there at one !! Same again went and asked for coffee then our bill . Left at 4.40 ...in the end went to the bar to pay . Been many times but never ever had such terrible service 😨

Now let’s say words about the waiting staff there babi , wa hey hey!! #itssandrotime #iseverythingalrightwithyourfood?

Enjoyed the tasty food and good choices on the menu. Well presented food. The fish was delicious in a creamy prawn sauce. Lemon syllabub delicious. Did a lovely candle in tiramisu dessert for the birthday girl. Service was good , it’s just echoes a bit too much in there - maybe some curtains and /or plants would help dampen the sound, would return.

My husband and I booked here for the first time and what a wonderful evening we had. The food, service and hospitality were excellent. Definitely will be going back as we live locally.

Overpriced wine.. £32.50 for a white New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.. currently being sold by Tesco for £7 Club Card price Was nothing special.. Food was lovely… reasonably priced, and staff were very attentive Would have eaten more if the wine had not been so expensive.. sorry we love it here, but don’t think we will return…

1066 has a problem with great food and great service, but that problem stops at the doorway of this place. I live in the area, and the Trattoria is a very regular visit for me and my wife. At least once a month. It's family friendly, the staff are very attentive and know everything about the menu. It is a go-to for many when it comes to family celebrations and special events. Booking is highly recommended Friday eves and weekends. Prices are fair and portions generous.

We ahve been eating here sinc eit opened and never been disappointed-well not compleltey. I wasn't mad about them adopting the French bouillabaisse and dropping the traditional Italian fish soup a few yeras ago. SInc ehtne the fish sup disappeared from the menu by it now is back -with a difference. No longer the traditioanl tomatoe/chili stock but in a creamy, an dI mean creamy chowder like stock. Equally as fantastic a taste and as all things, up a little in price. My only critism is thta when palting up, any langoustines should be shown on top as previusly done and not buried in the soup. A change of staff but still beng run by the owner in the efficient mannen it has always been done. Always friendly and a great place to eat.

Great quality food and service. The French waiter made our family occasion special, a top world class waiter. Food was delicious

Booked a table for me and my daughter a special treat, when I called them to book I wanted a window seat on the ground floor and they told me it was fine, when we arrived they told us we were upstairs, the man on the front desk was rude and could not give us any seat so we said we would not stay and went next door to Calvers they were so nice and found us a perfect seat and had a lovely time, The man at Trattoria could not care a less , so they only look after the regulars who spend a lot of money. Will not be returning. Dee.

Being in Bexhill on a Sunday, we were struck by the disappointing choice of restaurants offering food in the evening. We then found this gem. A super choice of dishes, as well as the standard pizza & pasta. The staff were friendly and we had an amazing meal. Pasta is homemade as were all their desserts. It was lovely to find saltimbocca and fish choices on the menu.

Booked this for a bite to eat before going to The De La Warre for a concert this week. Good choice. Very much at the authentic end of Italian cuisine - tasty and distinctive. Service was courteous and efficient with no irritatingly long waits between courses, so we had plenty of time to get to the concert. It’s also worth noting that prices were very reasonable. Recommended.

Lunch 27th May 2024. In my experience the best Italian Restaurant in Sussex. From the Antipasti Mixed Olives, Bruschetta Pomodoro, Calamari Fritti con aioli, Mozzarella in Carrozza to the Gamberoni all'italiana con linguine, Capricciosa, Spaghetti allo Scoglio, Gnocchi and desserts, the consensus on the food for our party of five was "absolutely delicious!" The succulent Seafood, was par excellence, certainly THE best in Bexhill-on-Sea; chef has an excellent touch. I prefer the salad garnish a little more fresh. Portions were ample. Service was attentive but unobtrusive. Prices were reasonable.

Authentic Italian restaurant with seating outside so when the weather is good you can watch the world go by - friendly staff & great service - food lovely too!

These days I think it’s hard to find a good and reasonably priced Italian restaurant; this happens to be one of them. This was a pre gig dinner just opposite the De La Warr Pavilion. We arrived @ 1730 and the place was humming. I had a fantastic hot baked avocado starter followed by squid ink seafood pasta, both of which were specials of the day. My friend started with whitebait followed by the same main course. Then ice cream for me, chocolate torte for him. I think this is a family run business and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. When I got back, I shared the above review with my wife. We live in Tunbridge Wells, but we will make a special excursion to Bexhill in the near future to sample the delights of this super restaurant. In summary, if you are of a certain age this type of Italian trattoria was fairly ubiquitous in the seventies and early eighties, not so today. Hence my delight at this discovery.

Very friendly and attentive staff, good selection of traditional Italian dishes. Our food was excellent and served quickly. Will definitely be going back again

An excellent lunch at Trattoria Italiana served by very friendly, helpful staff. I had a Calzone pizza and my wife had pasta with bolognaise sauce. Both were well presented and very tasty. My wife is Gluten Free but this did not cause any problems as there is a separate Gluten Free menu. Can certainly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere good to eat in Bexhill. However, it was very busy on the day we went so it may be advisable to book a table in advance.

We have been visiting this restaurant on and off for close to 20 years. We are treated like family, even if its been a couple of years since our last visit. The food was as excellent, as always. The staff are friendly, attentive, thoughtful and helped us have a truly memorable evening, whilst never being intrusive- an impressive feat. Stand out plates , from all round superb dishes,were the zucchini- always a winner and some insanely tender and delicious lamb. We really could not have had a lovelier night. Thank you to all!!

There were 16 of us on Easter Sunday and the staff and food were all brilliant. They even had a gluten free menu which was a nice surprise. My homemade ravioli was really delicious and perfectly comforting and creamy. Everyone else liked their food including some really fussy people! The service was brilliant, thank you for looking after us so well!

Fantastic food, extremely efficient and friendly despite being really busy, fabulous atmosphere. Excellent all round!

We first visited this restaurant back on New Year’s Day. Which left us utterly disappointed and questioning our decision to return. Despite our anticipation for a delightful New Year’s Day meal out, our experience was unprofessional from the start. Upon arrival, we were greeted with dirty glasses and cutlery—a foreboding sign of what was to come. Despite reporting this to the owner, our concerns were dismissed and blatantly ignored, leaving us feeling disrespected and undervalued as customers. Against our better judgment, we decided to give the restaurant another chance, hoping our initial experience was just an unfortunate anomaly. However, our optimism was quickly shattered when my partner discovered a metal staple in his main course. This unacceptable oversight not only compromised the quality and safety of the dish but also left us deeply concerned about the restaurant's hygiene standards. To add insult to injury, the response from the staff was lackluster at best. Instead of offering any meaningful apology or complimentary drink for the appalling experience, we were met with a "sorry about that." Before we even had the chance to take photos to report to environmental health, the waiter quickly took the staple off us! This token gesture did little to rectify the situation or restore our trust in the establishment. Regrettably, we have concluded that Trattoria Italiana does not prioritize customer satisfaction or basic hygiene standards. Despite the recommendations of friends, we have decided not to give this establishment another chance. Our dining experiences should be enjoyable and memorable for the right reasons, and unfortunately, this restaurant failed to meet even the most basic expectations. In conclusion, we cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to others, and we will not be returning.

Had been recommended this restaurant by our Air bnb host. From the outside we weren’t too sure but decided still to try it. Thank goodness we did, what a lovely evening meal we had, serviced by such friendly and efficient staff. I love veal in lemon sauce which isn’t on the menu but was told we have veal and lemons so of course you can have it. Definitely eat here.

My friend and I had the two course set lunch We felt it was terrific value, and really enjoyed our food. All nice and hot, with good portion sizes Our wine and coffees were lovely too Staff very attentive and friendly We will be back soon, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, thank you

We come from Eastbourne regularly to have lunch here. The food is always good, I had the special blackboard King prawns with garlic Mayo, they were gorgeous...hubby had asparagus, the Penne Amatriciana is my usual go to favourite, and ravioli with spinach and ricotta was husbands dish. All lovely food, and the staff always friendly and welcoming, we enjoy everything this restaurant has to offer. That's why we're regulars. We love it.

4 family members for a birthday dinner. Amazing service, food and drinks. Started with a lovely welcome and shown to a table. Drinks ordered and brought straight over. Shared starters on their 3 for £13.50 followed by 4 superb mains. You can tell as soon as they arrived that everything was fresh and lovingly home made, the smell appearance and taste was out of this world. Finished with desserts and coffees and as we left several staff shook hands, asked about the evening and wished us well. Will definitely be back (soon)

Such a lovely friendly restaurant, we went in for our granddaughter’s birthday on Saturday and they made her day special. Food was good and service excellent

Never have I had a bad meal here. The staff are incredible, they are so wonderful and truly hands on with their elderly infirm customers. It was quite emotional observing their care. Perfect service, always a full, but relaxed and truly welcoming restaurant.

I couldn’t fault this place. 1st time here and definitely worth the visit. The staff were attentive but not over the top, and the food was great.

Good location, great atmosphere, really excellent food and friendly helpful staff. I'd advise taking some cash along as you can't put a service charge on the bill when paying by card. The staff definitely earn it and I was disappointed that I had no cash with me, the waitress who served us was very understanding and told us not to worry, which almost made it worse!

We tried the veal saltimbocca, but both the veal and prosciutto were tough... hard to cut with a knife. It should have been more tender. We had trouble getting waitstaff's attention to pay our bill at the end of the meal... had to sit and wait quite awhile.

My friend has just bought an apartment directly opposite this restaurant so, with a group of friends descending upon her, she thought she'd book one of their music events which included a three course meal and cabaret (Tina Turner tribute). She was assured that, although our table would be upstairs, we'd have a bird's eye view of the cabaret on the ground floor. Sadly this wasn't the case, we were seated at the very back of the restaurant and couldn't see anything of the cabaret. Once we had finished eating we moved to the balcony area to see but, by now, "Tina" was more than halfway through her act. We were then also in the way of staff working. So very disappointing as there was a great vibe going on downstairs. Unfortunately, the food was also a let down. It makes complete sense to offer a set price menu for this sort of evening but it was very uninspiring and didn't really seem to be particularly Italian. I will say that my steak and chips main was very good but others in our party of 9 were unimpressed. One steak had to be returned as it was impossible to cut and two were not cooked as requested. We did speak to the management team who didn't offer any explanation as to what went wrong. On the plus side, we had a lovely waitress who worked so hard to make our evening better. She even took it upon herself to offer us some complimentary drinks as she realised how disappointed we were. This restaurant has some very good reviews so perhaps we were unlucky with the food that evening, however, there was no excuse for placing a table as far away as possible from the action. It had the potential of being a go to place to eat but, unfortunately, I don't think we'll be visiting again for a while.

It was a Saturday night when we visited Trattoria Italiana and the place was buzzing. This said, the service was fast as there were an abundance of waiters/waitresses, who all appeared to be Italian. I went for the 'Spaghetti a la Scoglio' (fish and shellfish with tomato and basil). It was a picture, generously filled with mussels, clam, prawns and langoustine, the sauce full of flavour. My wife had the 'Ravioli Aurora' (handmade ricotta and spinach ravioli with a classic Bolognese sauce), also fantastic. All in all, a memorable meal and highly recommended.

we had been here a couple of times and the food was ok , however my partner had a pasta dish with salmon and said it had no taste or seasoning and it was very bland and uneatable. i had the calf's liver wish was fine it was expensive and very disappointed

A great dining experience. We arrived in a downpour and the staff were friendly and accommodating despite the fact we looked like drowned rats! The food was all lovely, pleasant bruschetta to start, delicious mains, one said it was the best ravioli she had ever had, puds to die for, the lemon tart got particular praise, and good house wine. It was busy but we never felt rushed.

We have been coming here for over twenty years, and can honestly say we've never had a bad experience. Whatever time, we are greeted like old friends, and the food is consistently excellent. Please remember to tip in cash though,as apparently the staff don't receive gratuities added to the card payment ☹️

We visited recently with family as we were celebrating a birthday. We were greeted by the owner and taken to our table, the staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The food was superb as always, lots of choice and very tasty. I would certainly recommend this restaurant.

My wife and I had an impromptu lunch, eating a shared antipasto misto. This was very good indeed, with a fine mixture of meats, cheese and vegetables accompanied by some excellent focaccia. Also, our americano coffees were first class. The service was high quality.

lovley staff, nice venue and great staff, me and my wife had an amazing meal here and would defiantly come back! :)

We were well looked after and the meal was very good. One of our party was easily able to access the restaurant in a wheelchair.

Our usual dinner choice when upon Bexhill, luckily we were given a table having not booked in advance. Chose our meals from a good choice of dishes and then remembered how large the portions are! My chicken Milanese was great, nice spaghetti in a rich...

perfect! food was tasty the staff are attentive! lovelt little gem in bexhill town center will re visit when in the area

This used to be a really authentic and quality restaurant. The pizza tasted like it was a frozen and not homemade base and the toppings looked like they had placed on after it was warmed up. Really disappointed.

We visited this restaurant after about a 2 year gap since our last visit. I have to say that the standard of food and service is as excellent as I remember, although obviously prices have increased, but it is still good value for money. I...

After the waitress threw the drinks menu at us after asking for juice, my pasta came hard enough to break my teeth on. Waiter then argued it was fine so went and ate at Bentleys

Visiting some friends who recently moved to Bexhill, we were taken to this utterly incredible restaurant for lunch. Honestly..... It starts with a warm welcome & an engaging atmosphere. The service throughout was perfect - Efficient, attentive and very personable indeed. OMG the food is...

Very overpriced food and not much of it. Found the restaurant very noisy and staff going through the motions rather than loving their jobs. Will not be rushing back.

Wow. Had a delicious lunch. Was originally given an upstairs table but as not good with stairs they managed to give us a downstairs table. Staff we great and really friendly. Second time we have been and first time my daughter and her husband had....

Bright lights below average food rather bland and tasteless Could of done better myself won’t be rushing back anytime soon

Been there a few time. Must be one of the best italian restaurants I have visited. The place is clean, great food and great service.

Since moving down here we have eaten here on a number.ber of occasions and the food is always delicious! The service is great.and the food to die for, We love it!!

Situated conveniently for pre concert dinner, this Italian restaurant provides excellent food and service, just 100 metres from the de la Warr. My only slight gripe is the limited wine by the glass selection.

We were in Bexhill last week and ate here 4 times, so it’s clear how much we liked it. There really is nothing to fault here. The food is excellent, a very varied menu, lovely comfortable surroundings, good atmosphere and the most fantastic team of...

Very good tasting food, friendly, helpful staff and very good value for money. What more could you ask for? My wife is Gluten Free and she had her own menu with a very good choice of dishes. Can certainly recommend.

Actually I don’t recognise the restaurant from the recent bad reviews…we had a totally different experience. We were passing through Bexhill at lunchtime and decided to go in the Trattoria from the menu and the fact it looked a traditional family run Italian place. This...

We have used this restaurant regularly since moving to the area. My wife booked a table for 4 on 28th August and specifically requested a down stairs table. On arrival the front of desk was abrupt and tried to send us upstairs. We asked to...

Poor quality food and arrogant staff resulted in a very expensive and disappointing visit. This restaurant continues to detriate with the owner only interested in cramming in as many customers as possible iand take their money without offering a half decent experience. Will never return...

Wonderful food, wonderful friendly service. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Seriously. Seek it out!

We went to this restaurant after our other booking fell through - thank goodness we ended up here! We had a wonderful meal, great home cooked food and fabulous, attentive service from all the staff. We will definitely be going back here. Thanks for a...

All the staff were very attentive and very friendly. They had no problem accommodating my daughter’s ‘fussy’ eating - everything separate from each other. This can cause problems so we don’t eat out often but not here. They were very understanding and her food was...

We were staying at the Haven holiday park and the food there was awful so looked for a local restaurant to eat in and this one caught our eye so we booked up. On the Monday the six of us arrived at 7 and were...

Unfriendly service, good wine, the worst bruschetta we’ve even eaten. Shame on you! We payed a lot for 2 slices of bad bread with some tomatoes, no olive oil.

Food tasty, good menu but predictable. Service was friendly but lacked attention…no offer of oils, black pepper, or ‘how was your meal?’ Good location but based on this experience unlikely to try again.

Been going here for years, love all the people there, always happy and food very good, and authentic. We have been there for lunch and evening meals and entertainment Sunday nights. You cannot fault the place

We have just had the most amazing Italian meal. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent even though the restaurant was extremely busy. As always, it's a case of simple ingredients beautifully cooked and well presented. We enjoyed it so much that we...
