This is the best Italian I have been lucky enough to visit in a very long time!
Everything was stunning and delicious - the lasagna was outstanding and honestly the best I have ever tasted (I stopped mid mouthful).
I am already excited to go back soon!

Booked a hotel just round the corner. Because we took our dog with us ,we decided on a takeaway pizza. The place had a proper pizza oven, which meant the pizzas were authentic Italian pizzas. The toppings were so tasty, Just what you want on a cold evening. If we go back we will sit in next time. The staff were very helpful, and friendly.

We went there for the second time for lunch and Laura has been the perfect host, from her beautiful smile to her passion for her job, while helping us in chosing the best options for our needs! For a saturday lunch the place was surprisingly empty, a place like this should be crowded at all times because of the genuine and excellent food and service! We shared a focaccia with porchetta (traditional roman roasted pork) and cheese for starter and the main was with meat and potatoes.
YOu can take anything unfinished back home, including the bottle of wine we had.
Anima e Core is definitelly worth your visit if you fancy something truly Italian, cooked by Italians using Italian ingredients.
We will go again 😉😊

We went here last Sunday for lunch and we had one of the best experiences. The staff were so friendly, helpful and the food was so fresh.
Best pizza we’ve had in a long time. The pasta was also so fresh.
Proper Italian food!

Wow what a perfectly lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The dishes we had were perfect from start to finish and so wish there was a restaurant like this near where we live.
We found this little gem by accident as we were planning to go to a different restaurant but I'm so very glad we ended up at Anema e Core. By far the best Italian food we've had yet. Can't wait to get back to Eastbourne and book a table here again! Would recommend to anyone. Thank you to the staff and Chefs for making us feel so welcome and producing such delicious meals.

WOW! Came with a friend after many recommendations and this place did not disappoint. The pasta is freshly made and the food is so authentic. Could not fault a single thing. Delicious food, friendly service, fabulous wine and a lovely quaint atmosphere. I cannot wait to go back!

quite possible one of the best meals I've ever had ! the picture is of the starter myself and my 2 friends had, as you can see the portions are not small ! although fried, my starter was very light and tasty. for mains I had the mushroom risotto, it was incredible, very rich and creamy but not too heavy. my friends had the lasagne, they said it was the best they'd ever had, I had a taste and it was delicious, again full of meat but not too heavy, and again large portions ! the staff were brilliant too. I will definitely be coming back here again

Recently been to Bologna but the food I have had here is by far some of the best Italian food I have ever eaten. Strongly recommend their homemade wild boar ravioli, amazing. Very friendly and attentive staff, if you love Italian food and you live in Eastbourne, you must eat here, strong recommendation.

Authentic Italian food with lovely staff! Tiramisu is a must!

We had a wonderful experience.
The authentic carbonara and sausage and mushroom paperdelle were delicious.
The gelato for dessert was smooth and tasty and paired with their wonderful espresso was perfection.
The staff were fantastic, everything was taken care of with a smile.
The one and only issue we had was that the centre of the arancino ball that we had for our starter was slightly below temperature, not cold but not hot.
Other then that it was a perfect meal.

My husband and I happened upon this place for lunch with our 8 year old son and were so pleased to have discovered it! Knowing Italian food v well (used to live there and visit often), Italian restaurants are invariably disappointing in the UK unless you go high end, but this place is an absolute gem with authentic Italian food and drinks. Carbonara is sadly generally made with cream and ham in this country, but a mark of how good this place is, is that it's actually made with eggs and guanciale! I had pizza which gave the ones I had in Naples a run for their money. Great drinks menu with lots of different spritz's - even a trendy Cynar spritz. Looks like any other bog standard Italian place from the outside but don't be fooled.

First visit - superb, genuine Italian restaurant. Excellent antipasta, enormous pizzas, and tasty bottle of Fiano to wash it all down. We will definitely return!

Best restaurant in town by far! Staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Being half Italian I am fussy with Italian restaurants in the UK. But this one beats most restaurants in Italy. The food is out of this world. Would highly highly recommend.

I went there for my Silver wedding anniversary meal and thoroughly enjoyed it . The food was delicious, real authentic Italian , great service and friendly staff . I was so impressed I went back there 4 days later with a group of friends for my Birthday. They loved it too !

It's been a while since I've had great Italian food in the UK but it finally happened and in my home town. It has a very warm friendly atmosphere and the staff were all excellent. The food is amazing with great quality produce being used. Traditionally Italian and all the better for it.
