My husband, 4 yo and I spent a lovely evening at this traditional Italian restaurant. The service was excellent and their attention to detail was second to none. I wish I'd taken a photo of my mixed salad that I ordered for my starter - it was like a picture. Frequented by regulars, I would recommend booking in advance. We really enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to go back if we visit Eastbourne again.

We haven't been here for a year or so. Why ? I just do not know. We were once again made most welcome by the staff. Food - variety, presentation & taste excellent. Prices reasonable. We won't leave it so long next time.

The food and service were both very good. We had an excellent pizza and a carbonara meals both were very tasty, we finished off with a lovely tiramisu.

A lovely dining experience with very professional staff and authentic Italian cuisine. There was also relaxing beautiful live music while we were eating which added to a fantastic evening.

On arrival people were being turned away without bookings and the place was packed. However, we were taken to our table quickly. Had to wait a little while to get the first drink ordered and have it delivered to the table. However, the rest of the service was very good, and the food was really exceptional - could see why you would need a reservation - well worth a try if in the area - but do remember to book first.

We had a lovely, charming waitress who was great with the children at our dinner sitting on Saturday at 6pm. Food was nice and prices reasonable. We would go again if visiting Eastbourne. We only tried the restaurant due to the reviews we had read on TripAdvisor! Make sure you phone and book in advance as it was very busy when we went.

Although the restaurant was quite busy the service was excellent and friendly. Four different options ordered, all arrived together hot and fresh. Menu offers good options for all and is extensive. Party all agreed it was a very good experience. Would recommend to friends and family.

Stayed in Eastbourne and booked this restaurant based on its reviews. Very high standard and well priced with a good range of choice, from pasta to fish. Happy to recommend. Staff helpful and have good knowledge of menu.

Group of 4 of us had dinner there. 2 really enjoyed it but 2 thought it was ok. Benefit of the doubt so 4 out of 5.
Starters good but my main dish of veal was a bit tasteless. However my wife loved her fish. Garlic bread overdone. Nice apple strudel though. Will give it another bash if we are around that way again.

The restaurant was a wonderful place for a romantic meal. Although busy, they had taken care to create a fantastic atmosphere.
The service was fantastic, with staff very quick and on the ball at all times.The food was very good although perhaps a little unadventurous.

Lunch for 3 at this delightful Italian. Decor is very nice, service top level and ambiance perfect for me. Very extensive menu, everything we had was just as expected. Will definitely come back

Visited this Italian restaurant last evening. The place was buzzing with a lively friendly atmosphere. The menu is pretty extensive and you are spoilt for choice. However my friend and I decided to choose from the excellent set menu. Plenty of options here and what we chose was well cooked and nicely presented. We could only manage two courses each followed by coffee. Overall a lovely evening in convivial surroundings. Would definately recommend.

Some friends invited us to a meal here as a treat for our birthdays and what a fantastic evening we had.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. They seemed genuinely interested in all of us and wanted to ensure we had a good time.There is a large choice on the menu, catering to all tastes, and so it took us a while to make our selection. My husband had the white bait, I had parma ham with mango, and then for main my husband had the fish skewers whilst I had the prawn linguine with saffron sauce. Absolutely delicious.
Our one complaint is that the portions were so generous that we couldn't manage any pudding! Perhaps next time we'll forego the starter and then have room for a pudding as everything looked tempting.It's not cheap but considering the service and quality of food it's not that expensive and definitely worth it.
As well as the a la carte, there is a set menu which seemed very reasonable with a good selection to choose from.We will be back!

A wonderful Italian restaurant which reminds one of Italy with its authenticity. Ample choices for every one on the Menu. The Staff are very much an essential contribution for the success of La Laconia. Just love it.

Beautiful food and excellent service! We visited for our daughter's 18th birthday and had a wonderful time! 16 people served quickly and with first class food! 😊

My wife and I visited this restaurant on a day-trip to Eastbourne. I fancied Italian and Trip Advisor rated the 'meeting place of the dukes' scored 4.5 stars - so we booked ahead and had a wonderful meal there.
The waitress told us that the restaurant was a family business (she was actually Portuguese but had married into the family) and had been open for about 14 years. We liked everything about the place - it was neat without being over-fussy. The waiters/waitresses were efficient and friendly, the food was delicious. It is not cheap but the quality justified the price.
My wife had Fileto di manzo griglia (a lovely piece of steak which she said was the best she had ever had); I had petto di polo - fillet of chicken with mushrooms. Both were amazing!We didn't have room for desert and in any case I've given up puddings for Lent.
The coffee was also first class.All in all, a very memorable experience.

We found restaurant by chance and it was nearly full, but they found us a nice table. Service was perfect, we were offered drinks while we made our choice from the menu and service was attentive but not rushed. Everything was freshly cooked and excellent. After our starters we were brought a mouth freshening raspberry sorbet before the main course and at the end of the meal we were offered a limoncello on the house. One of the best Italian restaurants we have visited in this country. Thanks for a great meal, we'll certainly be back next time we visit Eastborne.

For our annual visit to Eastbourne we ate at this restaurant for the whole 4 days. The staff are very pleasant and professional and the atmosphere is fantastic. There is a very wide menu selection and was difficult to chose as we liked everything. For Friday and Saturday you must book as the restaurant gets very busy
