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.
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 co
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
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 h
A unique dining experience - mixed unspecified antipasti ordered and followed by a choice of 2 or 3 verbally described pasta dishes. I think there may be a third meat/fish course available, but there was no printed menu or proper explanation from staff.
The dishes comes to the table in quick success
I’m so delighted this authentic (and I mean authentic) Italian restaurant made it through covid. Franco’s food is fresh, really the tastes from Bari, and, well my mum and aunt who are from Bari, love it. And let me tell you that is a very rare thing. It’s also a delicatessen with divine food.
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!!
Very authentic Italian restaurant with high quality food. Price is great as well! Highly recommended.
Word has got round about Franco's on Hove seafront near the old King Alfred's Leisure Centre, so it's essential to book of an evening or you'll be turned away - it doesn't take many to fill the place,.which has a buzzy, funky, down-home vibe without the need for the usual overbearing pop music to at
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
Best meal I’ve had in a long time!! We were visiting from London this weekend and absolutely loved our dinner here.
Unpretentious outstanding small plates and pasta, great house wine and the best tiramisu I’ve ever had, apparently made by a 73 year old local.
Great service, especially grateful for
Not best Italian food but best food in Brighton! Also beautiful and cozy place that really travels you! Highly recommend
We had booked an Igloo during lockdown and this was the first time we could re-book. They were so flexible with booking. Friendly welcome. Excellent service. Igloo is very good idea even in the sun as so private. Also dog friendly. Drink menu outstanding and excellent choice. Food choice was
Excellent brunch, kind of English-italian fusion with baked eggs, grilled veggies and delicious tomato sauce, served with fresh focaccia. Amazing value - food and coffee for just £8. Main menu also excellent and extremely authentic - I lived in Italy for eight years and this place feels like home ;)
The food was amazing! The dishes kept on coming and it was just pure heaven for each ones! The owner is super nice! Best Italian restaurant in the UK! Will definitely get back and tell my friends to go there too! I would recommend it over and over! You must try it! Thank you guys!
Original Italian restaurant, everything fresh, different concept.. excepcional service.. I love it!!
I will back 100%
Very nice and cosy place, good home made pasta but very pricey for this type of food!
A thoroughly lovely evening at Franco’s last night. He has changed the Osteria concept to a classic menu and you order small plates. Everything we ate was delicious, fresh and interesting accompanied by the house red which was also delicious. The ravioli with sage and butter and the nduja baby gem w
