La Strega

Went during a fleeting visit to Brighton for a couple of days. Really lovely authentic Italian restaurant, reasonably priced- food is excellent and true to Italian flavours, portions are generous, the service is fast and friendly, we went on a Tuesday evening and it was nicely busy but not noisy and we could hold a conversation without any issue. Not in the most characteristic part of Brighton but it’s reflected in the prices, ie they are reasonable and not over the top like in The Lanes. Very recommended and worth going if you are visiting Brighton.

I had a lovely night at Casalingo the staff are friendly. A great plus is you are greeted in Italian and are great hosts!!! Myself and my partner went out for a meal this evening and had 3 courses and to say it was good is an understatement (it is amazing!!) The snails were awesome and are something I haven't had In a while so I really enjoyed sharing them with my partner and showing him something I love to eat :)) For mains, I had the lasagne and my partner had the chef's special ravioli!! Both dishes were finished without a crumb to spare!! They are generous portions which is awesome but you should come here if you're hungry and have a large appetite so you can try as much as possible :)) For deserts, I had the sorbet which is a trio of flavours that work together seamlessly. My partner had the cheese board which was awesome as well The atmosphere is lovely as-well with a calm/ romantic atmosphere !!! I hope to come back again soon!!! Thank you for having me and my partner tonight :))

Staff are super friendly and nice, they chat with us and help us take pictures. The restaurant is near Waitrose bus stop which is very convenient to get to by bus 49. Will definitely recommend the sea food dishes they server, ingredients are fresh and the seasoning are authentic. I order mussels and seafood risotto. Was great, but the risotto is slightly salty. The portion of each dishes is huge. So is good to share with friends. Didn’t get to try their dessert in the end since we are too full, will definitely try next time.

An absolutely stupendous restaurant. The starters (bruschetta, insalata tricolore) were stunning, while the pasta main courses were wonderful - pasta cooked perfectly al dente with rich sauce. No real room for desserts - but had to try the cheese cake, crème brûlée and the tiramisu: all sublime. Throw in wonderful drinks, friendly service and a reasonable prices and you are in for a treat!

Fresh and delicious Italian dishes. All staff were friendly and welcoming. You could tell everyone cared about making sure customers had a great experience. Make sure to check out their ticket communication system with the kitchen! Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some great Italian pasta (and Tiramisu)!
