We went there for the second time for lunch and Laura has been the perfect host, from her beautiful smile to her passion for her job, while helping us in chosing the best options for our needs! For a saturday lunch the place was surprisingly empty, a place like this should be crowded at all times because of the genuine and excellent food and service! We shared a focaccia with porchetta (traditional roman roasted pork) and cheese for starter and the main was with meat and potatoes. YOu can take anything unfinished back home, including the bottle of wine we had. Anima e Core is definitelly worth your visit if you fancy something truly Italian, cooked by Italians using Italian ingredients. We will go again 😉😊

Wow what a lovely evening we had... food was amazing and really well priced. Service was brilliant. Nice clean place.

The food was outstanding, along with the service from the staff and the wine was exceptional. I had the bruchetta to start and the papadelle mushrooms and Italian sausage. The staff even understood my request to wait between starter and main because of an operation I had which limits what I can eat! Nice little restaurant, a stone's throw from the seafront. A must visit for anyone looking for a traditional, well decorated and pleasant Italian restaurant. Thank you 👍

Such an amazing experience at Trattoria Anema e Core! I’d mentioned it was my friend’s birthday when booking and we arrived to a legit birthday card from the team 😱 they also sang her happy birthday and lit a candle in a mini cannoli so she could blow it out. She was incredibly touched and it was so kind of the team. The food was terrific as well - an excellent charcuterie & cheese board to start (the bread was terrific), and we all had pastas for a main: seafood paccheri, pappardelle bolognese, and ravioli. Our waitress was completely delightful. Lovely atmosphere, and the whole experience will be a wonderful memory. Highly recommend!

My partner and I visited here, we were very disappointed with the whole experience. My partner manages a Michelin Star restaurant and the service, food and attitude was just completely unacceptable. We left the restaurant upset, and feeling sick. We were a walk in booking over the weekend, the restaurant was completely apart from 1 table when we arrived and we were made to feel like we were an inconvenience by the front of owner/chef, he even refused another walk in when we were sat down, stating they had room for pizza only. There was a lovely young Italian waitress who was trying to serve us but the owner/chef kept taking over and was quite frankly being rude to the staff and us. My partner ordered a Negroni for drinks, and I ordered a non-alcoholic beer. The Negroni tasted diluted and pre-made, which is not what you expect for a restaurant of this standard, particularly when the restaurant is quiet. We got a mixture of starters, the bruchetta, parmigiana balls and meat Arincini. The Bruchetta was burnt and dry just some chargrilled bread with some tomatoes the parmigiana balls were flavourless and overcooked. The arincini was actually okay. For mains I have the Risotto Gamberetie E Zucchine, it was tasteless and watery, reminded me of rice pudding. Plus the prawns had no flavour and the whole meal did not taste right. My partner had the the Paccheri Ai Frutti Di Mare, the pasta did not taste home-made and the seafood was frozen and bland, and the dish was overly fishy and did not taste right. The dish had no flavour and was not edible. We both only had a few bites to eat of each main dish. We were made to feel uncomfortable to say much about the dishes as the owner kept speaking about us whilst we were sat down. My partner asked for the dishes to be packed as we felt really uncomfortable in saying. The nice Italian waitress came to us after the dishes were taken away, she spoke to me discreetly about not liking the meals, I told her it was not nice and I felt uncomfortable saying, she apologised and was really lovely about it. She went and spoke to the owner/chef about us but he responded to her quite angrily then came over to us to take payment, making us feel even more uncomfortable. They also charged a service fee which seemed to be more money than necessary. Honestly the whole experience was just really upsetting and would not recommend at all.

This is the best Italian I have been lucky enough to visit in a very long time! Everything was stunning and delicious - the lasagna was outstanding and honestly the best I have ever tasted (I stopped mid mouthful). I am already excited to go back soon!

Booked a hotel just round the corner. Because we took our dog with us ,we decided on a takeaway pizza. The place had a proper pizza oven, which meant the pizzas were authentic Italian pizzas. The toppings were so tasty, Just what you want on a cold evening. If we go back we will sit in next time. The staff were very helpful, and friendly.

We went here last Sunday for lunch and we had one of the best experiences. The staff were so friendly, helpful and the food was so fresh. Best pizza we’ve had in a long time. The pasta was also so fresh. Proper Italian food!
