Exceptional - service, food and atmosphere. Came into Saltdean hungry and tired, out b&b host recommended VIP. So happy we followed his recommendation. The best meal we have enjoyed in the UK the 3 weeks we have been here.
What a place!
What great Food!!!
And not over expensive.
And so, to VIP in Brighton. A lovely 'holiday' like atmosphere!
We reserved a table, which was conveniently by the door, but the heaters were on to keep us nice and toasty. Although we pre booked, we were initially given a table to seat 5....a bit of a tight squeeze, but after a bit of jiggling about, and moving other customers we were made more comfortable.
Amazingly though, as an aside, a group of 18 people bowled up without a booking and were found a table immediately, down stairs!!
Anyway, that aside the pizzas were proper good old fashioned VERY tasty, the garlic bread with cheese was top drawer stuff.
We couldn't fault the service, even if one server looked as though she was under a bit/lot of stress!
Everything we were served up got consumed, with no left overs from anyone...always a good sign!
Oh, and it was very reasonably priced too.
We'd definitely visit again.
Nice place, nice staff. Toilets were clean. Gave us a choice of tables (we had booked). Table for two is a bit small. Had to ask for more cutlery, as the table was not set for two. Would we go back again ? Yes.
It has been awhile since we have eaten in the restaurant and I must say that VIP are back to their original quality of food. There was a small period where the quality seemed to dip, but my confidence has been restored. I tried the calamari which was a little chewy but it had a great flavour. The kids pepperoni pizza is very nice and has good sized portions.
My wife and I split the VIP salad with a beef pasta dish (name escapes me). Both had great depth of taste and filling.
Great to see VIP is back to there original quality and look forward to my next visit
Found this excellent place by accident, and what a find it was! It was buzzing in there on a busy Friday night, the atmosphere was great. The choice of pizza was extensive - it was a little difficult to choose! I had a calzone and my wife had a traditional style pizza. The portions were huge, but we managed to squeeze it all in! Drinks choice was good and reasonably priced. As well as serving food, it's possible to buy all sorts of Italian themed produce. Outside of Italy itself, I'd say this is the most authentic feeling of Italian food I've been to. Loved it.
My daughter got a meal from here and raved about it so I thought I’d give it a try. I’m so glad I did. I’ve found a new place to get my pizzas etc. from. Fantastic choice, great value. You pay a little more but it’s so worth it to get an authentic Italian pizza not some mass produced, stodgy, no care pizza. I really enjoyed choosing from a menu that didn’t just have the usual tired old flavours. The classics are still there but so many others to choose from. I will definitely be getting my pizzas from there ( and other dishes available ) from now on when I decide I deserve a little treat 😁
Lovely food but unfriendly service. The server couldn't have cared less to make us feel welcome and comfortable and we had a toddler with us. Two adults of the party and the toddler have visited the restaurant in various occasions but weren't welcomed as regulars.
Having been to the Brighton restaurant, decided to treat the parents to a meal in saltdean. What a lovely place. Food was fabulous and staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back
Seafood pasta 🍝 and vegan Florentina pizza 🍕 delicious
Very nice place and good pizza, service was good too. Music too loud but, in fairness I didn't ask them to turn it down. I'd definitely go back
