The food was good: pizzas were a great size and tasted lovely. The starters were nice, but the textures were a little off - the meatballs and arancini were very soft.
However, the colours made us feel cosy and comfortable and the waitress was attentive, friendly and polite.
2 starters, 2 pizzas and 2 large glasses of wine - very good value for money.
We would come back and try some more starters, but definitely get pizza again!
Something to note is that it is not wheelchair accessible and does not have wheelchair accessible facilities.

UNREAL!!!
What a gem to have stumbled across! Was stopped outside by a staff member handing out 20% off Coupons … so we thought, why not!
This is one of the best pizzas I remember ever having in my life! Even pre vegan!
The fact then had a vegan section on the menu with so much choice was incredible..
We had pizzas, cheesy garlic bread and a dessert!
Can’t recommend highly enough
GO HERE ! It’s a little slice of heaven 🙃
Portion was excellent, service was lovely, and the food was absolutely shockingly amazing
Will be hard not to return when next in Eastbourne!

Brilliant experience. Front of house was friendly and chatty and very welcoming.
Food was excellent. Four of us went and had the complementary dough balls (special offer; free with a main) and they were freshly fried, moreish, and served with a tomato sauce.
Mains were (sorry I can't remember the names of the dishes!) the vegan burger and fries, a pizza with added meatballs, the white fish with green beans and chickpeas, and thick toast with tomato sauce and fried eggs.
- The burger was lovely: stuffed full with a vegan burger patty, cheese, cooked red peppers, lettuce, and tomato on burger buns made out of pizza dough, served with fries.
- The pizza was handmade (of course!) And deliciously fresh and melty.
- The white fish was seasoned just right, and the chickpea sauce had a slight curry-ness to it, while the green beans were almost like fries - we could have had a bowl of just those and been happy!
- Lastly, the toast with tomato and eggs hit the spot as a lunch time dish.
Drinks were sweet iced tea (made from Lady Grey tea 😋), English breakfast tea, black coffee, and still water.
Would absolutely recommend for anyone in need of good Italian food, a welcoming dining experience, and great atmosphere while in Eastbourne!

Wonderful experience! Welcoming server and quick service. We Ordered from the vegan menu which was quite extensive and better than expected. Food was delicious as was wine. Chef came out to speak to customers and was very kind and knowledgeable. We are actually from Kent but just because of the experience we will 100% come again and recommend to friends. Thank you 🌱💚

It was an amazing place. We love the pizzta-tried both the meat and veggie- and the mac cheese. I also ordered the Vanilla milkshake too. The people who opened this business (2 weeks ago) are very friendly and accomodating.

This bistro has changed hands a few times over the period of COVID and had lost its 5* reputation as a result. My wife and I enjoyed visiting Mamma Mia and would regularly eat there for brunch, lunch and dinner a few years ago but were put off by it changing hands a number of times over the past 2 years. However, we visited today encouraged by it returning to its Italian bistro heritage and it didn’t disappoint. An enjoyable brunch / lunch that was genuine Italian food and tasted like it, in an enjoyable environment with a genuine friendly and welcoming Italian owner which makes all the difference. It’s important that we support quality independent restaurants during this very difficult time so if you’re looking to enjoy the tastes / mood / environment of Italy consider this restaurant high on your agenda.

Some of the best Italian food I've eaten in the UK (Lived in London my whole life). Amazing service and fresh, delicious food, especially the tomato sauce on everything. Would highly recommend and would come back just for this. Ordered the arancino, dough balls and scalea pizza. Pizza was also the real deal with amazing crust, leoparding and chewy but light bites. Don't miss out on this gem just near to the station. See my attached picture of empty plates after only ten minutes.

Amazing food and very friendly staff highly recommend this place

I have eaten here several times. The staff are accommodating and friendly and the food is great. The buffet is a bargain and delicious for lunch or supper, mini pizzas are big enough for one to make a meal of. Do not go by this small restaurant or you will be missing the best place in town for true Italian dining at a very reasonable price.

Popped in to try this place out a few weeks ago and have been back quite a few times since. They do a £5 buffet lunch where you can select 4 items from about 10 or more options. It's been very tasty and filling every time so far. The coffee is good with a selection of pastries and cakes to help with fending of those dangerous diet moments.
What sets this place apart is both the staff, who are funny and very friendly and the other customers, again generally very friendly and congenial, in the best of ways. Also I noticed a lot of Italians coming in too, which must say something of its authenticity. Well worth a try, especially if you're near the station, it's about a minute away.

The food is great here and at a very reasonable price, well worth a visit.
Always a warm welcome from the staff, we have made it our favorite coffee shop in Eastbourne !!!

Went there for a lunch with my mum and one of my sisters couple of weeks ago. The food was amazing, fantastic coffee (important stuff for a coffee junkie like me) and tiramisu to die for! From the moment you walk you feel like you're in Italy. Such friendly people and so attentive. Can't recommend enough! Xx
Steve Robinson
Went in today for the first time just for a cappuccino . I had an interview just around the corner and don't know Eastbourne very well but was so happy to find Mamma Mi' !! Very friendly , very comfortable and the food menu , which I haven't tried yet , looked mouth-watering , If I get this job in Eastbourne I will definitely be returning here , and hopefully the Gnocchi will be on the menu :)

Lovely place, as a treasure found in Eastbourne, where, at the end of an exhausting day walking on the cliffs, me and my boyfriend had the chance to eat the specialities of Naples, �south Italy � very recommended! Friendly staff too! We will be there if passing by Eastbourne again! Thank you!

The linguine pescatori is just amazing! Packed with prawns, clams, muscles and all for just £10. Because every meal is cooked to order with fresh ingredients its always slightly different but delicious every time. Staff are friendly and welcoming great place to visit. �

My wife and I stumbled across mamma mi' and were immediately impressed by the warm welcome. The freshly prepared calzone reminded me of holidays in Italy. We will be back to try the buffet and more cappuccino and delicious canoli.
