Simply Italian

If you are gluten free I would avoid. Partner and I came for dinner (Italian so used to cooking with various gluten free pastas and eating in Italy both north and south). Thought we would try it as it was run by a Napoli family. They charge extra for gluten free bases and gluten free pasta but they just buy it in not freshly made. All of the pasta dishes are generally spaghetti based but the gluten free pasta is just shop bought penne. Really disappointing. We ordered the squid ink special with seafood, supposed to be squid ink dyed spaghetti with the additional charge it came to £20 for that one dish. The gluten free penne arrived with no squid ink. Was super basic and the waiter didn’t explain that the special would arrive made without the main ingredients. Total came to nearly £50 for shop bought penne. We then waited nearly 40mins for the bill. If they could buy in gluten free spaghetti to compliment the dishes they have on the menu I think this would help massively.

Fantastic. My wife and I have recently moved to Rye and we love eating out. We’re trying all the pubs and restaurants and Simply Italian hit the spot. Warm welcome, attentive service and the food was beautiful. I’m Gluten intolerant and they catered for my needs with a verity of GF foods on their menu. Simply Italian is the place to go if you want authentic italian food and atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back this weekend.
