Old fashioned Italian restaurant with a touch of class. Shame there is little parking space on the sea front. All the waiters were very friendly. The food was very very tasty. The perfect way to end the day

We visited the Mediteraraneo without booking on a Thursday & were lucky to get a table. The staff worked hard to fit us in. We enjoyed scallops as a starter along with calamari, main coures incoude veal & lobster. All were hot & tasty. A reasonable bottle of wine accompanied it - ewe'll visit again.

Went on a Friday evening and basically they simply booked too many in and not enough staff, so service was dreadful. Waited 30 minutes to be seated then another 20 minutes just for drinks, went to the bar myself in the end. No vegtables were brought with main coarse untill the meat had gone cold. This was a similar story... More

The restaurant was in a state refurbishment and very plain with unfinished wiring all around! The service was helpful but the food was poor. My partner and I had bruschetta to start with mozzarella... More

Please note this resturant has now closed and reopened as Romeo's by the Sea. It has had some refurbishment and now specialises in Italian food also serving coffee and cake from 10am each day.
