Review of Solo Pasta
30 May 08, 12:33
Only if you're hungry! 
The food here is to die for - some of the best pasta I've had in a long time. A great place to go to for a romantic meal, as the atmosphere is lovely. I've eaten here a few times and never had a bad meal - the food is all fresh and cooked to order. Also, being close to the town centre it's a great location too.

Review of Alfresco
27 May 08, 16:35
A great spot 
Always busy, this is a great stop off point if you're wandering into Brighton via the seafront. There are plenty of tables, all with a view facing the sea. I've never eaten lunch here, but have been to a few parties. It's a great venue for a private function, you can hire a whole floor with plenty of space for a DJ etc. The food and drink is all lovely too, despite the drinks being a little on the costly side.

Review of Caruso Restaurant
08 May 08, 14:52
Looks can be deceiving!
Looking a little tatty from the outside, it would be easy to walk straight past here. Situated right in the middle of Portslade High Street, it's a great place to stop off for some lunch. They offer a briliant deal of any pizza or pasta, plus a drink for just over a fiver. Everything is served fresh and if you're feeling extra hungry I recommend the Calzone pizza - it's huge and great value. The staff here are all extremely friendly and the service is good. Not the best place for a romantic meal though as the tables are extremely close together!

Review of Prezzo Restaurants

Brilliant
I ate here last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite being a large restaurant and being extremely busy the service was great. They were extremely helpful and attentive (particularly the wine waiter!) The menu was good, with a wide choice of pizzas, pastas and lots more besides. My Fiorentina pizza was actually...dare I say it....better than Pizza Express'! Highly recommend a visit.

Review of Topolino's Duo
03 May 08, 10:23
A little disappointing...
Well, having heard brilliant things about Topolino I tried here last night. The food was really really good, not a huge menu but all the dishes were served fresh and hot. The outside area has been set up so you can dine without feeling cold, most people tend to eat out there as you can enjoy a cigarette after your meal. However, as we didn't get here til after 9, the place cleared quite quickly and I was extremely uncomfortable as the waiters were clearing all the tables around us whilst we ate. What was a warm, buzzing atmosphere quickly became unwelcoming and empty. At one point, all 4 waiters were watching us eat. Not fun and a little disappointing.

Review of Peppino's Restaurant
25 Apr 08, 16:54
One of the better ones
This is a real gem tucked away in Charminster. There's a really nice atmosphere in here and the staff are friendly and helpful. Their risotto's are delicious and well recommended, plus the bonus is that you don't have to trek all the way into town!

Review of Fratelli
24 Apr 08, 14:18
Slightly disappointing
I really like the feel of this place - the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is good. I was a little disappointed with the food - the menu is Italian 'with a twist' but it can be a bit hit & miss. Great olives though.
