we went mid week and the area was not very busy, until we went in here. it was very busy but also congested. we ordered fish and chips but found that wherever we stood we seemed to be in peoples way. there was a huge queue of people waiting for ice cream, which looked fab, but we werent around long enough to sample any. was very excited to try the fish and chips after reading all the cuttings on the wall about this family business. the fish and chips were lovely but i felt they could have been a bit more generous with the portions. it was £11 for one fish and chips, which isnt cheap, and didnt think it was the greatest portion, they could have at least popped a few chips in the box.

Cycled here for a late lunch while waiting for car to be serviced. Service was amazing. This place only serves pizza, which are amazing. If you want pasta or anything more the staff can recommend places nearby. So pleased we stopped here, best pizza I had for ages. Lovely side salad. Staff were so lovely. Thanks guys for making our visit to your restaurant so good. Prices very reasonable for Hove. £2 for a lovely strong coffee after our meal. Loved the pizza oven. Thank you Karin, this is such nice feedback :)

Great little wine cafe in downtown Brighton. As an Italian wine freak I'm usually disappointed in the selection and expected the same from a wine cafe in England. I mean beer is really the focus for the country after all. Was I in for a surprise. Luca and Megan were so helpful and friendly and their choice was spot on. Not expensive to break the bank AND good enough in flavor and body to make even me happy!! Tapas were also great. Friendly place and I'd go again if I'm ever in Brighton again!! Cheers!!

We dined at Seasons for the second time recently; the service as ever was good and prices affordable. This restaurant is about a five minute walk from our home so very convenient. We will most likely return.

Me and the girlfriend visited Six on our first trip to Brighton (I have been previously) and we visited Six. I had the lobster and crab starter which was unreal, and the fillet Mignon which was amazing. My girlfriend who is vegetarian had the plant based burger and all meals are 10/10. The beer and cocktails to support are perfect. Definitely recommend. We visited on a busy Saturday night with no reservation and had the best service and fast food. Much love for the staff at Six â¤ï¸ Paula was amazing too.

Reviewed By RobstaLewes
Word has got round about Franco's on Hove seafront near the old King Alfred's Leisure Centre, so it's essential to book of an evening or you'll be turned away - it doesn't take many to fill the place,.which has a buzzy, funky, down-home vibe without the need for the usual overbearing pop music to attempt "atmosphere". Franco himself is in the thick of things and is dead serious about what he does - and some have found his attitude arrogant and dictatorial. That's possibly because he's proud of his standards, and the format is what it is - and he has little patience with those who don't "get it". It's an Osteria, not a restaurant... The format, then, is quite rigid: you have antipasti, pasta and mains (with a specials board) More than two people have to take a sharing menu - two sizes, two prices. The bigger option at £28.50 brings you all the antipasti on the board, a couple of pasta dishes and a main of either fish or meat, a delicious array of dishes arriving one after the other, whatever it is they're preparing that night.. In a sense, you put yourself in their hands - you'll probably have to ask if you want to know what the meat or the fish are, but unless you eat like a horse you won't go hungry. And the flavours! The produce is clearly of the highest quality and everything has a depth of flavour that is quite stunning, on top of which lovely notes of lemon, mint and herbs dance across the palate. On this recent occasion, with four of us opting for the meat, an odd note was struck by a plate containing four pieces of steak, four pieces of sausage, yet three lamb chops - so someone went short. The steak was rump, which if you don't mind chewy meat, was flavoursome, but I find it too much like hard work. .Another criticism would be that a bottle of Puglian red wine (a Primitivo - also known as Zinfandel elsewhere) was of distinctly average quality, and at £33, overpriced, when for example, there is an excellent Primitivio di Manduria at Waitrose, with balance, structure, complexity and length for about £11.They could buy something like this in and sell it on at £33 a bottle, for a better food pairing.and a handsome mark-up. Having said this, it was great evening, in what felt like an authentic atmosphere, the busy kitchen in plain view producing a cornucopia of wonderfully vibrant dishes of an altogether different standard than the usual high street Italian restaurants.good afternoon.thank you for taking your time to leave us your comment as we always value all constructive comments.i would like to take this opportunity to clear few points that you kindly mention.1 i am sorry if you and others may have the feeling that i come across a bit rude but honestly this is me as black and white as you can get.2 yes we are an Osteria and not a restaurant or Brighton trending restaurants. My philosophy is very simple good quality, healthy rustic food.3 Wine . i understand that you can find primitivo wine in Tesco or any others superstore.All my wine are from a small supplier in London who served only top end restaurants in London and unfortunately its not cheap as its wine are the best of the best in my opinion to the point that they got the power to decide who to serve.On the web now days there is and app call vi vino where you can check the quality of the wine and the retail price and please i would like to invite you to have a look it as it will help you to understand a lot of about quality and cost.In restaurants, osteria , bistro or and hospitality business the formula of pricing its simply one : supplier cost time 3.5 of 4 and unfortunately i must follow so other wise i will have no business and i really hope you can understand and appreciate.again you will see that i am undercharging.thank you so much and i really hope to see you soon.

This little restaurant was close to our hotel in Brighton and we booked online which was easy. We ordered the garlic bread which was delicious, and for mains we ordered the lasagna and the salami pasta. Both were excellent and pretty authentic Italian. We ordered a bottle of wine. The service was also excellent. Well worth a try.

We visited last week for lunch. It's not in the greatest location in Hove, but a high google rating led us there! Rustic decor, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food. Guiseppe looked after us well and we enjoyed the set menu. Excellent value for money, cosy atmosphere, great service and really good food means that we will definitely visit again!

Popped in on the off chance on a rainy Saturday night having heard mixed reviews. Were welcomed immediately and given a great not too noisy table in the window. Lovely atmosphere - casual but smart type bistro feel, modern and clean. Extensive authentic pasta menu which lived up to expectations and we are hard to please! - really appreciated the extra touches - big bowl of olives at no charge came with the drinks, water served in individual jugs with slice of lemon. Generous side salad (not the usual mean variety other restaurants serve). Crispy generous portion of garlic bread. Very reasonably priced too. We will return!
