"An old fashioned Italian restaurant that has obviously been successful for many years with a loyal local clientele. The decor was ok if somewhat tired but, as said, has to be successful so why change? The owner is a great guy, larger than life and...very accommodating and funny. His second is a little less outward going and does not seem to enjoy his job much but could be it was just a bad day for him which after the last number of months is entirely understandable. I had mussels, which were excellent, and herself a caprese salad the quality of the tomato and mozzarella was not the greatest plus it was swimming in too much balsamic dressing (which, he pointed out to us, is how he likes it personally). For mains, herself had a really excellent seared lamb and lamb risotto from the specials and she loved it. I tried a little and have to agree it was excellent. I had Zuppa de pesci which was pleasant enough but the star of the show, large prawns, were somewhat over cooked and slightly powdery to my taste. Having had excellent dinners in two local restaurants, overall it was a disappointing last night’s stay in Seaford softened by some good cooking and watching the host at work. The wine list, incidentally, is good and would recommend the dry house Rose and the Primitivo which was excellent!"

Had a brilliant meal with friends on Christmas Eve. Service was fantastic and the food was faultless, would recommend for any occasion.

Friendly, excellent food, and could not have been better for gluten free options. It was also open for a late lunch when all other places in Seaford were closing.

You need to book ahead such is the well justified reputation of this small restaurant. The welcome and ambience coupled with appropriate Covid precautions encouraged us to relax and peruse the tempting menu. For the main course I chose the lamb from the specials board...which was delicious.

We had an enjoyable evening at Diellas whilst staying in Seaford The waitress was pleasant and friendly and gave good service, the owner also went out of his way to chat and make you feel welcome There is a good choice of dishes on the...menu and the food we chose was very nice as was the bottle of house red that we had to accompany it We would recommend a visit to the restaurant if you are in the area View menu

What a wonderful place. The waiting staff would not be more helpful with trying to entertain small kids but also recommending the best of the area for us to go to on a rainy day. The food was DELICIOUS. We had some glorious seafood and...when we asked for kids meals “ we can make anything smaller or try to make what they want” is a great response. The kids loved it as did we. What a brilliant restaurant.

We visited Diella’s whilst on holiday after it came recommended by another local business. Safe to say, it was an excellent recommendation. The food was superb. We ordered a variety of meals, from steak, to lamb, to pizza; each was of the highest order. The...owner, Stefano, really made the evening. The warm welcome made us feel like one of the locals, and his sense of humour is excellent. If you like Italian, I couldn’t recommend this place any more highly.

We booked for a table of as we travelled down from Weymouth, Dorset. Excellent food and impeccable service. We ate from the set lunch menu, there was an understandable error , ordering one of the mains, this was immediately rectified , with...my husband having two meals served to him. The pavlovas are to die for , totally recommend and the creme brûlée fantastic. Generous portions, would definitely recommend. The owner was very attentive, a lot of restaurants could learn from his amazing customer care/service. Can’t wait to go back ! View menu

Spent a good hour looking for a restaurant around seaford and Newhaven, lucky we found Diellas, the menu is not over priced yet the food is lovely, the owner is great and very knowledgeable and helpful, while Julie was fantastic her ability To know when...people needed her attention was perfectly timed, the owner was always on hand to pass on a story or two from his wealth of knowledge! As for the food Stunning and great value for money, I’m not surprised there was returning customers as everyone is treated with such friendships, I had a strange dessert of mixed berries soup oh I say! Try it you won’t be disappointed, and you wont want to leave as many didn’t while we were there staying for...

I didn't have high expectations as I was just grateful to find an Italian restaurant within walking distance from where we were staying for my Fiancée's birthday. But this place was fantastic. It was a traditional homely unpretentious Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was buzzing at...the right level. The food was cooked to perfection. I had the Gamberoni all' aglio starter and wow! Best succulent prawns I've had in a long time. The service was spot on. The right level of attention but not intrusive. The owner was running his restaurant and being a great Front-of-House host. I was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. The pasta was cooked right, the steak exactly as I asked and the veget...
