Lovely food and staff. Noise levels so high we could not hear each other. Needs music down and some sort of cushioning against noise.

Even though they forgot one of our dishes, when they brought it to us, they provided it free and gave us an additional free dish too. Excellent customer service

Food was mostly good. The fritto misto tasted slightly under seasoned compared to previous visits. Gnocchi duck was lacking in duck and mostly tasted of the tomato sauce it was served in. However, the mint arancinis and the squid ink pasta were delicious. Music was too ‘clubby’ and loud for our tastes. Service was lovely.

Really tasty food, we shared the pea mint arancini, the crab linguine, and two of the specials (wild mushroom risotto and pizetta with figs, gorgonzola and prosciutto). All delicious. Really like the thin flaky base of the pizetta, never had a pizza base like it before. Cool and cozy atmosphere at the back. Nothing bad to say. Not cheap particularly but would rather pay a bit more for quality dishes than standard Italian fare. Definitely will return.

Delicious food, great service. Would have eaten there again if we’d been staying longer. Kids loved the pizzettte (savoury and sweet) whilst adults able to eat more interesting food than you get in the usual Italian chains. Location in Brighton is great, as near to pavilion gardens.

Great place, great food excellent service. Noice level you can't really blame the restaurant. It is what is is, small room with brick walls and busy Friday afternoon you can't do much about the noise level. Great place to go for very good food and service.

Been before. Like it a lot. It’s quite pricey for the portion sizes and for drinks but the quality is high. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Noise levels are an issue - don’t know if it’s just the acoustics in this restaurant but it’s definitely not somewhere you’d go for a quiet meal.
