Latest Reviews
Very popular, and for very good reason. This place is the tops for Italian cuisine. You could take anyone here - business associate / customer, your "date", family, anyone, and they would be impressed, without doubt.
The comprehensive menu is mouth wateringly tempting - knowing what to choose is the only problem. (that is the one and only criticism I can think of)Spotless, clean décor, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff - nothing is too much trouble for them.
You gotta go!

Ate here again as was visiting a play at the theatre.Given a warm welcome and once again complimentary bread and olives on the table.Ordered from the set menu food arrived quickly even though they were very busy,starters and mains were again high quality all staff smartly dressed and polite and friendly and again were given complimentary Limoncello.Toilets were spotlessly clean and again a 10% discount as we were visiting theatre.If you are visiting the theatre You have to go here.

A very traditional italian atmosphere with loads of tables close to each other but pleasant. Fully booked and we walked in and the manager very kindly set up a table for two from nowhere :)
Food was good but I think it was too expensive. I would go again but there are few more places where you can eat that good for much less... It worth to try thou

We were holidaying for the weekend and a friend in the area recommended this restaurant. We had excellent service considering the restaurant was 95% full.
The food was also well presented and excellent. We would go again.

plenty of restaurants of this type in Eastbourne - this is worth a try. I was in a group of friends who liked it so much we booked for the following night. an extensive menu - my pasta dishes were very tasty and everyone enjoyed their meals. there is a set lunch / dinner menu option for around £23 for 3 courses excluding drinks. very enjoyable

A superb, extensive menu with a strong Italian bias as the name implies. There is only excellent quality food., I have never had a poor meal here.
Great staff and great service. Fresh fish daily and the best fillet steaks in Sussex and beyond.
I can't recommend this restaurant too highly.

We booked a table for 8pm still standing at the door at 20 past.waiter got us a complimentary drink.then we got seated great,we ordered our starters my partner had prawn cocktail I ordered prawns in batter,I took a bite and realised the prawn was cold.i told the same waiter who was very sorry and took them away,my next lot was fine,we had steak it was ok,I just find the restaurant is getting too popular,so the customer suffers from greedy management.

Had a fantastic evening here. Brilliant service from the word go - on arrival we asked about gluten free options and were told gf pasta was available. When my husband half jokingly said 'no chance of pizza' the lady immediately said "yes of course - we can just get it from next door for you". The 2 restaurants are jointly owned. Anyway we had the best waiter who was delightful and attentive but also knew his stuff about gluten free. He explained how careful they would be not to contaminate the pizza (important reassurance for coeliacs) so it might take a big longer to come out - no problem for us. My garlic bread was delicious and my spinach and ricotta pasta dish was lovely and fresh, husband had a truly, truly delicious monkfish with garlic butter. We also managed to get through 2 bottles of a lovely well priced white wine that night. My son said his pizza was the best he's had. More delight followed when we found out the chocolate fudge cake was also gluten free - my son was over the moon. I also had it and it was to die for. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will go back in a heartbeat next time we are ever in Eastbourne. No wonder they are so busy - they clearly know what they are doing. Well done to the team there.

Despite being very busy at a time when they may not have expected it (5.30 ish) the food was excellent, the service was excellent, the menu was good. Not very cheap, but what else can one expect?

Took some friends to sample the cuisine on a Sunday evening. From the moment we entered to the time we left we felt special. The service was excellent and the staff helpful and friendly. The food was excellent, good range of choices and beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Have already booked for next weekend.

This restaurant was very busy when we arrived. We hadn't booked but they very kindly fitted us in. Service was good considering how busy is was. We ate from a set menu which had a good range of choices for each course.

Visited this restaurant on a busy Saturday night for my husband's birthday. The food was amazing, it was fresh, tasty and was presented lovely. The staff were attentive and although rushed off their feet they made sure to look after us. Absolutely beautiful place to eat, will come back to Eastbourne to eat here again!

Took two out of town friends here and we all loved it. Firstly the service is excellent, friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We were shown to our table and served very promptly, the waiting staff were quick, efficient and polite. They were excellent throughout the evening and even overheard the fact that one of our party was celebrating a her birthday. They served her desert with a candle, gave her a card and sang happy birthday.
The food was excellent too; there was a good selection and all the starter dishes were served quickly. The mains were also lovely as were the deserts.
Very enjoyable meal, we'll be back.

Had a delicious scallop and bacon starter followed by saffron flavoured brown rice risotto with sea food which inspired ideas for what to try and cook at home. Both courses rated at 5 out of 5. The only weak points in the food were the bread (supermarket quality) and flatbread (stale) and olives (2 out of 5).

Lovely food, wonderful service faultless, nothing to much trouble quick and attentive.
Judging by the number of what were obviously regulars a very popular restaurant. Spoilt for choice on the menu but had Gamberi con salsa piccante and then calves liver lovely. My son had Melanzane alla parmigiana stunning, followed by Ravioli di carne alla crema di porcini beautiful

Whenever we are in Eastbourne we book a table at La Locanda Del Duca. This restaurant is run by Italians who obviously know how to provide tasty beautifully-cooked, well-presented food. In addition, the prices are very reasonable indeed.
Their well-trained, cheerful and efficient staff make the whole dining experience a joy.
If you are visiting Eastbourne and love Italian food then this is the restaurant for you. Enjoy!

Excellent food, great service. Classic food (not too modern), pretty heavy but really tasty. Maybe for a couple or older families not sure my daughter would enjoy it here as much.
