The service and welcome are really wonderful. It's a very cosy and friendly environment. However, the pizza was really disappointing. You can now get really fantastic pizza in the uk, and this is a recipe from the 1980s, which seemed to use ordinary flour rather than bread flour because it was like a biscuit underneath and cakey and soggy under the topping rather than a chewy, crusty pizza base. It would make me wary of having the pasta. Others have also reviewed and complained about the pizza, so might be worth considering. The main course my partner had was is very nice but I only ate half, and I never leave my food! I couldn't bear to send it back because it was such a friendly place and I didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings and it was a special occasion. We really appreciate local restaurants and we really love to support them. The decor is rather dated as folks have said, but I liked it, Old Skool.

I've recently discovered Diellas after more than ten years in Newhaven. Good food, some dishes even excellent. Genial host, like Luca at Locanda del Duca, Eastbourne's premier Italian restaurant.
