Lewes is so lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious, wonderful flavours, textures and locally sourced. The atmosphere is comfortable, stylish and the open kitchen adds a bit of theatre. We’re always welcomed so warmly but the lovely staff. The menu is well priced for the quality of food served and the daily set menu is exceptional value. Kids are well catered for too, it is a great spot for family, friends or even to dine solo.

We visited on a special night in November (I’d just left a toxic job). The food was delicious and the staff were delightful. It was a little on the higher budget end than we’d usually go for but I’m so glad we went. We still talk about it four months later, I couldn’t recommend it more.

Absolutely delicious Italian food. One large raviola with lobster and crab. Seasonal veg and perfect focaccia with the best dipping oil. Lovely staff. I have bad back and cushion was found! No room for pudding but looked lovely. Will return.

An amazing evening and dinner service at this great little gem in Lewes.
The team were attentive, the food was stunning and we had a lovely time post meal in the bar too, following a chat with the head chef who was clearly passionate about creating a fabulous experience.
We can’t wait until our next visit and we will be dreaming about the gnocchi!

We went to squisito on a scorching summer evening. The atmosphere in the restaurant was electric but not overwhelming, as the charming restaurant manager swiftly took our order for drinks and talked us through the menu. The evening was perfectly paced, with delicious dishes like the best salami this side of Milan dressed with capers, to the rich beef shin ragu that was to die for! All of the pasta is made freshly on the day, and is served perfectly Al Dente. You could be mistaken for thinking you are overlooking a Tuscan vineyard as you tuck into the tasty treats on offer.
I cannot wait to go back, and nor should you!

We wanted to love it as we had been past before and read all the great reviews but we waited 90 mins for our mains, of which two were average, one was nice, and one was actively horrible which was the truffle pasta. It had no taste of truffle, it was served in a sauce that smelled and tasted a bit like the water from a pot noodle and the pasta was barely filled and rock hard. They did offer to make something else but after having already waited 90 mins (whilst entertaining young children) I declined. The foccacia and Chianti were both great. Service was hit and miss. At one point my child dropped their colouring sheet on the floor and a member of staff took it and binned it instead of handing it back which I thought was a bit harsh. Overall a strange, disappointing, and reasonably expensive, experience I’m afraid. The location is so pretty though and there’s no doubt it’s popular so we may have just got unlucky this time.

The wife and me went for dinner yesterday. Really lovely place. Cosy, charming, unpretentious. A good age range of people from 20’s upwards. The staff were all really nice and helpful. Service was attentive without rushing you. Food was thoughtfully prepared and fresh. Servings were a decent size for a chubby lad like myself. With a fair few cocktails, glasses of wine, 2 starters, mains and puds, bill was a smidge over a hundred quid including service which felt like money well spent. There’s a nice little bar next door and the staff buzz back and forth carrying fun little negronis for a fiver. They’re small but potent I realised as I tripped over the door on the way out. There’s a fun little courtyard too. Everyone seemed happy and we’ll definitely be back, so a big thanks to the cooks and staff!
