Wonderful place, settled in the town centre, not far from everywhere you want to see in Eastbourne. I'll been there with my wife for a romantic sunday lunch, but we couldn't aspect it'd be so perfect!
I've been in Italy a couple of time, and i found in that restaurant the same lovely smell and the same tastes i discovered in the south of the country. We started with two tipical italian street food, called Supplì and Arancino (i had to wrote it down for remember that names). The rice was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was really tasty. The italian beer i drunk was without any doubt one of the best i ever taste. Then we tried two kind of pizza. I would test the pizza maker and see how good he was. Ok, i lost. The pizza were so soft, and the ingredient were so fresh and tasty that i finished my wife's too!
A tipical italian espresso for an happy ending. The waitress was kind and joyful, and the manager make us feel part of this big italian family.
We'll be back in Anema e Core every time we'll return in Eastbourne, that's sure!

What a lovely restaurant. Friendly owners, attentive service and beautiful food. I had the pizza which was authentic Italian style. My cousin had fresh pesto pasta . Everything was delicious. You could tell everything was so fresh. We finished with cheese plate. The wine was great too. Reasonably priced great food. Can't wait to return.

Fantastic service (friendly, knowledgeable, quickly brought any requests, drinks). Food was authentic as this was the best Italian meal outside of Italy I've ever had. Can't wait to go again.

Lovely staff - Great food. Traditional Italian cuisine served by a family from the Amalfi coast. Authentic as it possibly can be.

Six of us meet regularly as ".the ethnic dining cub". we had an excellent dinner served by the close knit family who own the restaurant. Very good Italian food served by caring and dedicated people. Restaurant full with a lively young clientele but we older people were looked after beautifully.

While visiting Eastbourne, we were looking for somewhere to eat that welcomed dogs as we didn't want to leave our Labrador behind at the hotel alone for too long. We were made very welcome and the food and service was outstanding. Thank you for a pleasant evening. Louise Elcock, Andrew Harrold & Bonnie.

Visiting Eastbourne from the Midlands for a family funeral we were lucky to happen upon and get a table at this lovely popular restaurant. The food and wine were excellent and the friendliness of the staff was exceptional. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Stopped over for lunch following a visit to the seven sisters - a local chalky cliff, another worthwhile place to visit.
Enjoyed the bruschetta, tagliatelle bolognese followed by tiramisu. Partner had the mushrooms, Neapolitan pizza (with mozzarella added on our request), and chocolate and almond cake with his cappuccino. All for under 30 pounds. We felt very welcomed and very much at home (including our dog) by the friendly Lia and her husband.Next time, instead of the lunch menu, I will try the seafood pasta.

Top of my list of memorable visits to small family run Italian restaurants in the UK was a lunch at Osteria Antica Bologna, Clapham in May 1990. The restaurant had only been open a month and still exists today but is no longer family run and is only a shadow of its former self.
My first visit to Anema e core in Eastbourne reminded me of that lunch. My wife and I shared an Antipasto del contadino which was better than some I have had in Italy. Grilled thin cut slices of peppers, courgettes, pumpkin, aubergine and polenta together with smoked cheese and an artichoke heart. The olive oil based dressing was just perfect and the presentation was so good I regret not having taken a photograph.
My wife had the Gnocchi funghi e salsiccia which she declared outstanding, and after I had tried some I had to agree. I had the Ravioli al ragu di cinghiale which was made with the kind of beautiful egg pasta that only the Italians can make and combined with the wild boar filling made a simply outstanding dish.
There is nothing complicated about this terrific family run restaurant, just good ingredients and traditional Italian cooking at its best.
Together with a large glass of wine and a beer the bill came to £40.90 - worth every penny!
The only problem is that I live over an hour's drive away.

A quick scan down the reviews told us that this was the place to be for lunch. An hour and a half later, we were not disappointed. Family run and recently relocated from just around the corner, Anema e Core shows just what can be done by sticking to one's guns and serving fresh, home-cooked style food. The funghi were fresh and tasty, the pizzas authentic and delicious and the tiramisu mouthwatering, which was handy after all that had gone before. We opted for the Nero d'Avola with the mains and at £17.50, it's one of the stars of this year for me. Until next time!

Visited this last year in its previous addresswhich was cramped but still very good. Now in new premises same high standards and welcome are maintained but the space is greatly improved with a light and airy extension to the rear

I went here with my Mum and Dad, as they had been raving about it for weeks, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! This is a family-run business, with the mother and father in the kitchen, and their daughter and her fiance as the mainfloor staff. They welcome you in as if you are part of their family, make personal recommendations and have an intelligent understanding of wine and ingredients. They want to accurately represent the part of Italy that they come from, so everything from food to decor is chosen carefully for this purpose. We went on Easter Sunday and the bill was served to us inside a chocoalte bunny, which was such a lovely touch. The food iteself was absolutely flawless, the most delicious calamari and spaghetti I've tasted in a long time. Please visit this restaurant, you will not regret it!
