Diella's - Lewes

Had a brilliant meal with friends on Christmas Eve. Service was fantastic and the food was faultless, would recommend for any occasion.

We booked for a table of as we travelled down from Weymouth, Dorset. Excellent food and impeccable service. We ate from the set lunch menu, there was an understandable error , ordering one of the mains, this was immediately rectified , with...my husband having two meals served to him. The pavlovas are to die for , totally recommend and the creme brûlée fantastic. Generous portions, would definitely recommend. The owner was very attentive, a lot of restaurants could learn from his amazing customer care/service. Can’t wait to go back !

I didn't have high expectations as I was just grateful to find an Italian restaurant within walking distance from where we were staying for my Fiancée's birthday. But this place was fantastic. It was a traditional homely unpretentious Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was buzzing at...the right level. The food was cooked to perfection. I had the Gamberoni all' aglio starter and wow! Best succulent prawns I've had in a long time. The service was spot on. The right level of attention but not intrusive. The owner was running his restaurant and being a great Front-of-House host. I was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. The pasta was cooked right, the steak exactly as I asked and the vegetables and roasted potatoes were awesome! A fantastic experience from start to finish! Thank you!

Spent a good hour looking for a restaurant around seaford and Newhaven, lucky we found Diellas, the menu is not over priced yet the food is lovely, the owner is great and very knowledgeable and helpful, while Julie was fantastic her ability To know when...people needed her attention was perfectly timed, the owner was always on hand to pass on a story or two from his wealth of knowledge! As for the food Stunning and great value for money, I’m not surprised there was returning customers as everyone is treated with such friendships, I had a strange dessert of mixed berries soup oh I say! Try it you won’t be disappointed, and you wont want to leave as many didn’t while we were there staying for a second coffee or a brandy, this was not a posh nosh, was good food served by nice people

What a wonderful place. The waiting staff would not be more helpful with trying to entertain small kids but also recommending the best of the area for us to go to on a rainy day. The food was DELICIOUS. We had some glorious seafood and...when we asked for kids meals “ we can make anything smaller or try to make what they want” is a great response. The kids loved it as did we. What a brilliant restaurant.
