The best restaurants serving Italian food in Lewes South East

A small gem just found by accident today. The most warm lovely service from Stephania with delicious food and a Mediterranean holiday feel. Would highly recommend.

Really great service and value for money. Pasta dishes were perfectly cooked and full of great flavours, staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout - would revisit and recommend.

Me and my Dad stopped here for some lunch yesterday and we are so pleased we did. First of all the restaurant is so cute / beautiful, we sat outside as was a lovely sunny day. They had a lunchtime deal, any pizza / pasta and a drink for £12.99 and we both opted for that, and a bruschetta to share (highly recommend the bruschetta). The food was UNREAL, real authentic Italian food, cooked perfectly. And to top it off the service was absolutely wonderful, the waitress and waiter were both super polite and efficient and gave service with a smile. But the (I’m guessing) manager/chef went above and beyond, he made us feel super welcome, checked on us and was simply a delight. We will definitely be returning and recommending to others.

Yet another gorgeous meal at Padellas. I have eaten here several times over the years and have always had a fantastic meal. The food is always cooked to perfection and the specials board always offers seasonal dishes that are outstanding. The Staff are polite and friendly and make you feel welcome.

Visited the bar in Chichester at the Ghost at the Feast. The Aperol and Limoncello spritz both tasted of sea water and where totally undrinkable. When brought to the attention of the staff they replied that's the recipe and refused to remake the drinks.

Fantastic pizza and friendly great service! Great to see fantastic vegan options, we loved the tapenade topped pizzas

On the off chance we popped on on a busy Saturday on bank holiday weekend . We’re lucky to get a table as the weather had been bad and it was quieter than expected. Owner was chatty and friendly, as were the staff. Food all delicious. Loved that I had a jug of lime to pour in my soda!

Great food, good value and should be busier for the quality. I was the only person dining on a Thursday evening. House wines were a bit average.

Thought I would try their pizzas since i like a pizza closed and was impressed. The pizza was hot and had plenty of topping, was delivered quickly and price was comparable with previous place. Desserts sound interesting and a cut above some on offer elsewhere.

Excellent quality food and great service in combination. I've been to two other Italians in town in the reasonably short time that I've lived in the area. One was part of a chain and was disappointing at best, the other which is an independent, was absolutely abysmal! Gino's is it the absolute polar opposite of these two. A beautifully presented dining room and great, attentive staff compliment and authentic Italian menu. I came with my partner and her mum and all three of us were served perfectly cooked and delicious Italian food. What more could you want! I'm currently booking a table for valentine's Day for myself and my partner. I think that's enough of a recommendation right there! Thank you so much guys and see you soon.

I recommend the spicy tagliatelle
