Best KPortal Reviews

One of the best meals I have ever had, absolutely fantastic,perfectly cooked food matched with a lovely wine, can't wait to go back. Service was excellent, very friendly and efficient.
Lovely Italian with unique dishes and fair prices. The service was good and the atmosphere was great.
Had a very great evening, relaxed environment and we were well looked after. The food is freshly made and very authentic with some brave fusions. Reading some reviews in here complaining that is over priced; Perhaps it is as the final bill was a bit higher than expected but you get what you pay in here: excellent Aperitivo drinks (we had so many, amazing Martini drink!), fresh and tasty dishes (that Ragú it is just like mamma makes it!) serviced with courtesy without invading the guests chats (thank you the the girl she was amazing!) very accommodating too as we had a preliminary drink on the outside area... Highly recommended for special small gathering occasions, definetly will be back again!
When I booked and I was told no menu, they serve what's part of the deli that day, I was worried I had made a bad decision, especially that my husband wanted to carb load ready for Brighton marathon ????‍♀️
Complete opposite, what a diamond find, an absolute must try., fantastic food and service, we will return.
I've seen a few negative posts, they are not in context and unfair. If you are looking gor a fab Italian, this is the place for you ????
If one expects a friendly welcome forget it. The owner doesn't care about being friendly or good manners. Waitress was caring and kind and professional. All the courses were good. We were four and for what you see in the pictures plus a 1\2 carafe of red we spent 25 each.
The food was amazing. Best Italian meal I have had in years!! If you are wanting a massive bowl of mediocre pasta go to a chain, if you want loads of delicious dishes come here!! Also tiramisu and pistachio gelato were fabulous!!
We found this place by accident and were so pleased with it! The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming, the food is freshly cooked, tasty and original. The chef has a light touch with the food so the little plates (tapas) weren’t too solid or filling, the fish cakes - flaked fish with chopped courgette - were delicious. Would definitely recommend it for anyone in the Hove area.
The best and most authentic Italian restaurant in Brighton.
In the area you cannot find a place as friendly, as good quality and as rustic as this one, even if you spend more.
Normal priced, but the quality is far superior than all the ones with the same prices (I can guarantee after trying all of them) and it is the only one with the nice "osteria" feeling.
It has a SIMPLE menu, which means good quality, fresh products!
It is very pleasant to stay in, despite it is small and not luxurious, because everything is made of real WOOD, with stone walls. This gives a very good energy, and a rustic and natural feeling.
The music is very pleasant and quiet, which is a very good point for a restaurant, as most of them play annoying and quite loud music, it is very rare to find a quiet place where to sit and eat.
The kitchen is open so you can actually see how the food that you get is processed, which is another really good point, not common at all in restaurants.
I can feel the people working in the kitchen are very dedicated to what they do, this enhances the good energy of the place.
They make EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH, no readymade sauces, desserts or doughs, which is another thing I really appreciated, as I never found restaurants the area that make desserts from scratch, it was a big relief for me.
The tiramisù was very authentic (I can confirm, as Italian) and very light, I am really impressed that I didn't feel bad at all after eating it.
Also loved the terracotta dishes.
With love and sincerity,
Enrico
