Small, cozy restaurant serving tasty and authentic Sardinian cuisine. We had Sardinian starters which were wonderful, followed by their Sunday roasts (we sampled the lamb, chicken and pork). Great service and friendly staff.

cosy and intimate atmosphere, excellent service and the most delicious food. the flavours were rich, deep and aromatic and unusually loads of amazing choices for those who don't eat meat. i didnt know Sardinian comfort food was my favourite food until this weekend and now i cant wait to go back and eat it ALL!

My wife and I booked Sunday Lunch. We ordered the lamb and porchetta, Both were delicious, the meat and vegetables were great, nice to have a roast with a Sardinian influence. We have been to the restaurant on a few occasions now and love the menu as it differs from your standard Italian fare.

We went last Saturday for the set lunch to see what it’s like. Lovely restaurant with comfortable ambiance. Excellent food, fresh and very tasty. So good to try something different that’s quality. Looking forward to going back!

First time on Friday night. Lovely atmosphere, surroundings & menu. My partner ate 2 starters and I opted for a ravioli stuffed with ricotta, pecorino & saffron, served with the boar ragu. Beautifully light with the rich sauce. Desert was the ricotta/orange cheesecake with homemade vanilla ice cream. The service and food delightful.

Perfection! First visit to this restaurant and won’t be the last. Beautifully decorated and quirky. Had a wonderful evening on Saturday: first class service and the food was truly amazing! I shall be telling my friends.

Visited on a friend's recommendation and we weren't disappointed. Lovely restaurant in meads although it was quiet on a Thursday evening. Service was first class and we had a great table in the window. The food was amazing and the seafood stew was one of the best and freshest I've ever tasted. Wine was excellent and very reasonably priced. We would certainly recommend it and if you are planning a visit its well worth looking at the "pre- order" menu before in order to get the speciality dishes. High quality all round! Thank you!

Absolutely fabulous dining experience. Lovely atmosphere with great staff, polite and attentive. Now the food. Some of the tastiest and best presented dishes I’ve ever encountered, all cooked to perfection. Not sure there’s a better, more authentic Italian restaurant in Sussex.
