Superb sea view room , combined with great service , make this an excellent location. The room was fantastic with great attention to detail. A fine breakfast, it's a pity we didn't manage to have an evening meal here , because I'm sure it would have been top class! Will definitely be back.

We decided to be a bit spontaneous on a Friday night and we weren't disappointed. We made it in time for their early evening special and the place was busy with diners taking advantage of the cheaper menu. The staff are attentive and the food was delicious. We will definite be going back again.

Very good value,For lunch we had 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 puddings and 2 childrens meals which consisted of drink, breadsticks, mains and ice cream (4.99each) came to about £35.Will go again. Also coffee / teas were reasonably priced.

I live in Seaham and had hopes for a nice Italian to open. There is another Italian in Seaham but the staff have been rude a d the food bland. So when it opened we were over the moon! It's not cheap, unless you aim for happy hour, but you get what you pay for. Pizza or pasta is still... More

Delicious food, great service and a great atmosphere, Massimo's is a must visit! We have tried a lot of different Italian restaurants over the years but this is by far the best, you will not be disappointed. The friendly staff are always happy to help and are very knowledgeable on the dishes and wines served.
