We had a great evening. There was a good menu. A great atmospheres. Everything is cooked to order. The food was delicious. The pasta dishes were huge. We did think that the Sea Bass at £29.95 was overpriced but it was cooked to perfection and well presented.
My husband and I had a wonderful meal at La Tana to celebrate our anniversary! It’s beautifully decorated and has a lovely atmosphere, with a very friendly welcome and service throughout our visit. The meal was incredible! We had delicious specials starters, and of course their amazing Mozzarella dough balls! And we shared a veggie Calzone which was huge and so tasty! We also had yummy ice cream and a slice of banoffee pie. Excellent choice of drinks as well were on offer. The team were super helpful in creating a veggie calzone, and assured us that many of the dishes offered can be made vegetarian as everything is cooked fresh to order. This is brilliant news for us and we will certainly be back! Other reviews have commented that it is overly expensive, but the quality of food and portions would suggest otherwise. If you want a cheap Italian meal there are lots of options in town, but for an incredible meal this is the place! And we absolutely could have scaled back our order to be more affordable if it wasn’t a special occasion, and we will do so that we can visit often! Thanks to the brilliant team and huge complements to the chef!
Such a pretty restaurant honestly, atmosphere is so nice & the food was amazing not gona lie. I never finish my meals EVER and polished my food off completely. Go here.
La Tana is truly the best Italian restaurant in Brighton! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The food is absolutely delicious—each dish is bursting with authentic flavors that transport you straight to Italy. Since our first visit, we've returned three times because we just can't get enough! The service is impeccable; the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about providing a great dining experience. What makes La Tana stand out even more is that the entire kitchen team is Italian, which really shines through in the quality and authenticity of the food. You can tell every dish is cooked with love and dedication. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine in Brighton. We’ll definitely be back again soon!
This place was quite packed on a Sunday evening around 7:30 PM when we arrived. Everything around us looked delicious. We ordered the bread basket, House , salads, and lasagna. For Italian restaurant, the bread basket was disappointing as it seemed like a loaf of Italian bread you would buy frozen at the grocery store.
Popped in on a Wednesday evening and the restaurant was already half full. Lovely, friendly service and delicious food. The steak on a stone was fantastic with the meat being very tender. Will definitely go back.
We wanted to sit in the Igloos outside, but they do get booked up in advance. We had a walk-in and found it easy to get a table and didn't have to wait. As soon as we sat down someone came over to take our order, although we hadn't had a chance to check the menu yet. However, once we were ready to order the restaurant staff are friendly and attentive. They didn't have a lot of the syrups in stock so drinks menu was limited, but they offered to make me a strawberry mojito which isn't on their menu so I really appreciated the service to try and cater for me. We had the Crispy Fried Squid and Seared King Prawns for starter, both of which were really nice and I would recommend. For mains, I had the Devon Crab Linguine which was really nice, you get a good amount of pasta although I couldn't finish it all! My partner ordered the British Flash Steak which he found a bit tough, but the fries it came with were delicious!
We had dinner here on a Tuesday night - very nice and quiet setting. Free street car parking available. Waiter and owner were very attentive and kind. Owner is from Naples - Italy. Nice Italian music was playing. Comfortable chairs. A lot of space and tables. Very romantic and family friendly atmosphere.
We had a really nice dinner here. The staff were friendly and we all enjoyed the food. Portions were large. My wife says it is a a good family restaurant.
