Had a brilliant lunch here to celebrate my husband “Mr Robert’s” special birthday - the food was brilliant and the service second to none - the staff couldn’t do enough for us and I cannot sing their praises highly enough- thank you La Locanda for making a memorable celebration lunch!

This takes Italian cooking to a new level. Every time we visit it just gets better and better. Five types of bread and olives served on arrival, all complimentry. Scallops are just superb, very fresh cooked to perfection. White bait w as crispy and the flavour was in every mouth full. We can never resist the liver which is so thinly sliced as to explode with flavour. This takes liver to an all new level. Great puds and a good wine list. Staff are charming. We look forward to our next visit.

Exquisite food (had sea bass with saffron sauce and zuchitti fritti), wonderful, attentive service and lovely atmosphere. And even arranged a pizza for our boy from restaurant next door. Would easily go back and eat every day if both my wallet and waist line were in good shape. Thank you!

Bediening was om voor terug te komen, wat we ook hebben gedaan. Het eten was wat je mag verwachten van een Italiaanse chef. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding is mooi in balans.<br>Speciale complimenten voor de bediening door Acacio en collega's!

Went for dinner with a group of friends. The meals were excellent and very well presented. They have a good wine list and we can recommend the Gavi de Gavi. Service was attentive without being obsessive and well appreciated. The only slight downside was the volume of the music. They had a cabaret musician who was very good but a little loud. In fairness we were told when booking that the musician was on. We will definitely go again but perhaps dine a little earlier so we finish eating before the set starts.<br><br>Top tip: try the "top end" of the wine list as the selection is very good.

Our first time here and we loved it.
A big menu makes choosing difficult. A nice selection of breads to munch on while you make your mind up.Home made Ravioli was very good followed by an excellent Halibut steak. All mains come with a great selection of vegetables and more are available at no extra charge. The cassata desert is Devine.
A very pleasing feature is that everything comes to your table piping hot.....unlike at many places these days.We were just thinking a complimentary Limoncello would finish things of nicely and Bingo a gorgeous Limoncello sorbet arrived.....So good!
Don’t miss this gem and do make a reservation!

The restaurant is tastefully furnished and the service impeccable. The menu and wine list are extensive. A real Italian flavour. Overall a great dining experience.

I don’t really know what to make of this restaurant. It has a sister restaurant directly next door which serves classic “British” Italian food, so to an ok standard that is reflected in the prices....not the kind of Italian food you would have in a decent trattoria for example. They seem to share a kitchen but in La Locanda the prices are quite a bit higher.
Lo Locanda feels like going on an all inclusive holiday and visiting that “fine dining” Italian restaurant in a resort in Turkey. The place has no character or soul. The food is pretty average and tasteless. All compounded by an over exuberant waitress who started to count the till loudly while we and another table were still seated.Strange place but highly regarded in Eastbourne for some reason.

Food delicious, service excellent with friendly staff. Ambience good. Reasonably quiet which I prefer

We came for lunch here last Sunday and everything was excellent, from the greeting at the door, to the leisurely, efficient service to the perfectly cooked and presented food. My husband and I agreed that the beef was the most tender we had ever experienced, and the tirimasu was second to none. There were also the additional delicacies of the strawberry ice, the limoncello and the mints. All in all, a wonderful occasion!

Delicious. Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and tasty food. We shared the goats cheese to start - it was so nice of them to spilt it onto two plates for us without us asking! He had the steak (slightly overcooked, he enjoyed it nonetheless). Side veggies were lovely, only the potatoes were overboiled - everything else great. I had the grilled monkfish - yummy. Shared the chocolate fudge dessert with homemade ice cream... perfect! Enjoyed every bit of our meal. Nice touch for the owner/manager to come out and ask how we were too.

Whilst staying in an Eastbourne seafront hotel, we came across this fine establishment. Fish (sole and bream) was excellent - and we shall be returning soon. Relatively inexpensive, with friendly and knowledgeable staff - and great wine.

We visited this restaurant the previous year when we were staying in Eastbourne & the food & service was so good we decided to return this year. There was live music on the Sunday we went & it was a great night. The atmosphere in the restaurant was buzzing. The food & service was excellent. I only wish this restaurant was local to us. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

Having lived in the town for 6 years we are firm fans of Locanda . This is where we always bring visitors and family as the ambience, quality of food and service are exemplary

Another selection based on trip advisor reviews and it didn't disappoint. The service was fabulous, the owner came out and welcomed us. I had some lovely scallops for starters and the stuffed chicken for main. Minor point but worth it, the toilets were sparkling.

We had an excellent meal here on Wednesday evening and when I said I needed Gluten Free food, I was told they could work around it and I could have anything on the menu.
So I did! Even Spaghetti alla Vongole. Excellent

What a find this is I have visited twice since my first Lunch here in March. Once with a group of 11 Men for a dining club dinner and once with two friends. The set menu is terrific value for money:between us we have tried most of the items on this menu and all were great tasting freshly prepared and with very generous portions. This is a real Italian Family restaurant with a very friendly well trained staff and superb food. I do not hesitate to give it a very strong recommendation. If you like good food and wine that is value for money give it a try. There is also an extensive A La Carte menu with interesting looking dishes and a fabulous choice of fresh pasta. Will be a regular visitor here.

First visit to Eastbourne and asked advice from a local. What a find. This restaurant ticked all the boxes for us and obviously has a loyal local following and deservedly so.
Typical friendly,but professional,Italian hospitality. A wide menu with lots of fresh seasonal options and as tasty and tender as you’ll find . Generous portions too. Good wine list with a wide range of prices.Wish we lived closer.
