Calvers Italian Bar & Kitchen

Looks nice fairly priced. Staff friendly and polite. Four of us visited one had pizza that was good. My daughter and Myself both had the spaghetti carbonara it was home-made Spaghetti. But sadly, it was very heavy and thick not great. They did forget the rocket salad I ordered. Would like to see more comfort choices on the menu. I’m sure I will visit again.

This place is a not so hidden gem in the centre of Hastings. Service is absolutely amazing. Mollie went above and beyond to provide what can only be described as the best hospitality and customer care I have ever encountered. And the icing on the cake to this wonderful experience was the king prawn linguine and garlic flatbread that was cooked by Joel Cruz. Simply the most delectable balance of flavours of chilli and seafood I have ever tasted. If there were medals for cooking and hospitality, these people would win Gold every time.

Staff and service were awesome! Beach view is pretty on a good weather. Food is okay. The sea brass is expensive but salty for my taste. Pizza is tasty but dont put too much cheese or else it will be too salty. The garlic bread was a bomb served it hot! Yum yum! Overall it was good but probably it will be better to request to cook the food with lesser salt on it and just use the salt shakers ready on the table.

Nicely decorated restaurant. Makes a difference to how it was before. Great menu with diverse GF, VEGAN & alcohol free tiramisu. Highly recommend the Salmon Papadelle. Only criticisms are; that they don’t have alcohol free cocktails / mocktails. The prawn skewer(s) was actually just ONE skewer- very tightly rationed starter & desert portions - as well as the tiramisu being all of 3 mouthfuls. Too Highly priced for local folk in my opinion but would go back for the pasta alone.

Last night my friends and I came for dinner and not one of us walked away happy with our meal or service. When we have been previously the food was Italian and we were spoilt for choice with food and drinks leaving us all highly recommending the restaurant. My partner's Guinness came out unsettled and with a huge head on it, the menu has become small and 'authentic' which isn't shown online as my friend looked it up before hand looking forward to Italian dishes etc. I opted for the beef ragu and if that was made with a lovely tomato sauce it would taste 100% better rather then how it was served looking bland and tasteless with the only good thing about it being the pulled beef. The garlic bread was basically bread with 1/4 of it having garlic oil on it having to ask for oil to dunk the (bread) in. We also ordered the sharing platter which for the money was also disappointing, all the while having the kill fruit flies throughout our whole meal. Sadly I wouldn't recommend this restaurant again and felt robbed of £165.
