Was Christel Frenzel at Diella's a mag?
Fancied a lunch out and Diellas does not disappoint for these prices. The pork in Calvados is very good and my melon was just ripe and went well with the parma ham. Service with a smile too View all feedback.
What Ethan Wilkinson dislikes about Diella's:
I have to say I am shocked at all the good reviews. Clearly most of the diners have never experienced proper Italian food. The decor is dated and stuck in a time warp, the menu very uninspiring. The table was sticky....yuk. We left most of...the food as it was bland and tasteless. I can knock up a better meal in my kitchen or even get a better pizza from Morrisons across the road. There are much better choices nearby... View all feedback.
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.
Amazing place for a really heart Italian. A very warm welcome. The food was fabulous. So many vegetarian option. Lovely service. A great place to dine.
Great food , they were very accommodating with all if my food quirks . Very good service we will definately be back
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.
