1. My reviews ★☆☆☆☆

   This place definitely needs Gordon Ramsay! The manager is in denial and needs to take on feedback and improve. Bella Italia was full, so we ended up eating at this restaurant. The lady was extremely pleasant and probably saves the business. We got the wrong drink and when we asked for the right drink, we were told we'd have to pay for it. My prawns were not cooked and my food was cold. The pizza was undercooked and when I said I did not want to pay service charge, the manager did not accept that I felt the service was not great. He took it off and was very cold. If you are visiting Brighton, I would try somewhere else so you can enjoy your stay.

   Good restaurant, fantastic service. We wanted to order penne with a Carbonara sauce without bacon, and the waiter offered to exchange the bacon with mushrooms for free. Also, he proposed that if we didn’t like the spicy pepper too much, he could leave it out and bring us chillies, also for free. The prices are totally acceptable, we paid less than £15 for a good meal.

   Not good. The staff were friendly, but the food was undercooked. My friend said her pasta was good, but my calamari were like plastic and the pizza was not cooked. The calamari, I would say, were frozen and not cooked enough. I would not recommend this place as the food was expensive for the quality: Coke/sprite £3 Calamari £8,75 (even though the manu said £7,75) Pizza £8 Pasta £11,95 We were brought in by a guy outside giving pamphlets, he told us everything was £5,95, but once you read the paper it only refers to 6 items. The place looks clean.

   Very good food, staff are very friendly, shared a starter then had a main each, both of us were full after, I’ve seen other reviews regarding the price, it may be above some other restaurants but it is an individual business which offers a good meal and friendly service from staff, would definitely recommend it.

   We visited a few nights ago after walking past and thinking it looked very cosy and traditional. The mojito was the best I've had in a long time and I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom pizza and chips. Was surprised to see the bad reviews when coming to post this as my experience was the opposite, staff were friendly, we were served quickly and the food came out quickly and was very warm and fresh. The waitress I think was new, but she was lovely and did a great job, there was a mix up with a drink we ordered but it was rectified immediately and with no fuss. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely return based on our experience!

   Staff very friendly, nice location, but ruined by the food. I did like the South African cider though. The tricolore salad was so over priced. I got one tomato sliced into 4, a quarter of a over ripe avocado that had more brown than green, and 3 slices of mozzarella with a teaspoon of olive oil for £12. I thought they got the wrong dish and this was a starter! My wife’s seafood linguini had 2 pea sized pieces of salmon, and tasted of nothing. I will never go there again, please review chefs.

   My go-to restaurant in Brighton - always find the staff friendly and helpful. Yes, it's not 'cheap' but then a pizza or pasta in a big chain is also not cheap. Love the fact that there's always a shady corner to sit in, enjoy SEVERAL espresso and one or two small cigars. Love it here.
