Al Duomo in Brighton and Hove

Fui a Brighton con mi madre e hija por una noche y, desafortunadamente, leí las reseñas de Al Doumo en Google y pensé que debía estar bien. . . . ¡INCORRECTO! ! Sinceramente, las únicas críticas similares a nuestra experiencia fueron las de hace algunos años. ¡Quedan desconcertados de que las personas animen a otros a asistir a este lugar cuando hay tantos otros establecimientos fantásticos e italianos en Brighton! - Un hombre miserable, alto y de pelo oscuro y rizado (posiblemente un gerente) nos acomodó en una cabina frente al restaurante. Desagradable desde el principio. . - Para empezar, pedimos calamares y Arancini - ambos eran groseros, pero en particular los calamares. Teníamos una tonelada en el plato y estaba pálido, claramente congelado y poco cocinado, casi incomible (¡mira la foto!) Cuando mi madre mencionó al miserable camarero que "los calamares no eran muy agradables", su actitud era "Bueno, ¿qué esperas de 6?". Discutió con nosotros que 'en su país' tendrías que pagar 35 euros por kilo. . . Expliqué que es por eso que usualmente te sirven x 4 piezas de pescado fresco y agradable en lugar de un plato lleno. . . me dijo que "aguantara", se alejó y nos evitó por el resto de la noche. Tuvimos la tentación de irnos en este punto, ya que todo el personal masculino (ninguna mujer trabajaba esta noche) nos miraba toda la noche, pero mi hija de 11 años tenía hambre y no queríamos hacer una escena. - Platos principales - Tuve una pizza, que estaba bien! Una buena pizza italiana estándar. Mi madre tenía Risotto de mariscos, que era normal pero demasiado salada. ¡PERO mis hijas Carbonara (sin carne, ya que es vegetariana) fue el intento más desagradable de una Carbonara que he visto! ! Ella trató de comerlo, ya que es educada. Pero solo MIRA mi foto. . . está dividido, la mantequilla está por todo el plato y los espaguetis no cocinados. Cómo tuvieron la audacia de servirle a ella como italianos, nunca lo sabré. Si fuéramos el tipo de familia para hacer una escena y tal vez si no estuviera con mi hija, me hubiera ido.No se disculparon por nada, nos cobraron en su totalidad, incluyeron su consejo (¡que no quería darles!) Por toda esa horrible comida y no nos dieron las gracias ni nos dijeron nada.Por favor, si estás en Brighton - ¡EVITA ESTE LUGAR! !

When I went to this restaurant tonight the waiter didn't Evan pay attention to me and my mum also when they say mozzarella balls it's just rice and peas. When I got my pizza I started eating it, I then found 2 very long hairs on the pizza. If you like a extra hairy topping for your pizza you should go here but if you don't I recommend DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT . Thanks for the horrible night

Being a huge fan of Italian food, we settled on this place during our recent visit to Brighton.Have to say, the food was really good. From the vast menu, we selected the Arancini and a selection of meats, both of which hit the spot. For the main, I had the Chicken Milanese which was breaded and fried perfectly along with a side of spaghetti, the OH’s Calzone was full to the brim. Portion sizes overall were really generous – you won’t leave hungry – so much so we had to refuse dessert. A good wine list was also reasonably priced.There were one or two hiccups along the way – food not all served together – but nothing major and the staff were apologetic. Considering the size of the venue and the length of the menu, the staff were really on the ball. My only bug-bear was being seated downstairs, we were treated to consecutive blasts of freezing cold air followed by a blast of extremely hot air meaning there was never any ambient temperature.Overall though, really enjoyed our meal and would recommend

Me and my son have just come back from restaurant hungry I’ve got to say it was the worst food I’ve ever tried to eat the Mozzarella balls was just full of rice peas no cheese, my son had a pizza and me Risotto, the pizza had a long hairs in it after my son showed me that was it we where both finished. The waitress from the bar was serving customers then went to food prep area and started cutting pizza no hand washing !! Just unexceptionable. The waitress asked why we had not eaten our food I said because of the hairs in pizza we didn’t ask for any extra toppings she then went off came back and had taken £6 off our bill I said thanks we will grab a burger on way home. I would never recommend this restaurant shocking

Visited before going to a show at The Dome. The food was fantastic and we would definitely love to go back to try something else from their great menu. The staff were efficient & the restaurant had great atmosphere and decor.

We walked in to a very friendly welcome, served immediately and found a lovely quiet corner. We just wanted a drink and this wasnt a problem at all.

Such a pleasant visit and the food is genuinely Italian! Quite central and the venue is quite spacious with 2 levels floors and terrace too. Recommended

Good standard Italian restaurant in a great position near the Museum and Art Gallery and the Dome concert hall (hence the name!). Gets very busy but service is efficient.

Nuestra familia ha comido en este restaurante durante años, primero como excursionistas de un día a Brighton y ahora más como miembro de la familia está estudiando en Brighton.

Visited this as a treat from our about-to-be-ex carers support agency. Pleasant interior and helpful staff. Minestrone soup delicious with lots of veg in it. Brisket also great but felt the accompanying mash and peas (though tasty) were a bit basic and not typically Italian. Puds looked great and the coffee was nice and strong. Would gladly revisit if in Brighton again - probably going for pizza as they looked really tasty.

Went recently for a Pre theatre meal, have never previously received a bad Pizza and glad to report another proper meal. Staff are always attentive.

Pre-booked so that I could use my Tastecard giving 2-4-1 on all courses (not drinks or sides).

We went to Al Duomo Italian Restaurant on Saturday, it was our first visit and wow what a lovely time we had. Plenty of choice on the menu, very friendly and helpful staff. The food was great and plentiful. All reasonably priced too. Next time we are in Brighton we will be eating here again!

We spent about an hour wandering around, didn't fancy greasy spoons or static menus from chains and slightly reluctantly chose Al Duomo- cos it 'looked OK'. Two of my usual first choices were on the menu- white-bait ' Bianchetti' and Mussels--- but without the 'skinny chips'. Mme decided on the fresh pizza- four cheese -- and it was great to watch it being hand rolled and thrown around before it disappeared into the on-view oven. Really cheerful and friendly staff..... "quite by chance"

We originally went to The Opposition, but after staff ignoring us, then not having the things on the menu we wanted, we decided to go to Al Duomo. The food is always lovely, staff are friendly but not overbearing and they even let us bring our dog in. The portions are huge, we shared arancini starter and couldn't manage a dessert.

Had lunch here today with a friend. Her Calamari starter she said was the best ever!! My spag bol was nice enough and she said her Pizzia was good too. I then had the Tiramisu dessert which was lovely. Really nice restaurant. Have been several times and will no doubt go again!

We went lunchtime after coming out of the Pavilion - attracted by 'Home made Soup of the Day and crusty bread' advertised for £4:35

My wife's family is Italian, we went to Brighton for the day and thought we'd try out this Resturant. It's family owned and run and it was a great experience. I love my pasta olio e pepperinchino and I was not disappointed. One of the best I have come across including Italy. My son and wife devoured their wood fired oven Pizza in no time. And I recommend the olives for a starter. Alberto the owner looks after everybody like family. Thank you and we will be back.

I've known this restaurant since the early 80's - one of the original pizza places with a proper pizza oven originally on full view by the front door. It was always a cut-above and smart - overseen by a steely-eyed old Italian who ensured everything ran smoothly. Oh dear - what a come-down now !

I would like to thank al duomo restaurant for a fabulous party, Alberto is very organised and takes great pride on being the best and most affordable in central brighton. We only had 30 so had the top room... which was perfect for friends and family... We had a lovely buffet and a great bar man with a fully stocked bar, Which you were able to pay cash or card as you go. We decorated the room and added light etc... We offered to help clear up but the staff were very attentive from start to finish and were very kind to clean up after us. Thank you so much my mum's 50th party was a huge success to all the staff at al duomo. Thank you... Lauren.

Wondered around on New Years Day and came across this restaurant. We quite liked the menu as they had a wide variety of pizzas, pasta/knocci and starters.

My friend absolutely loves Al Duomo, so I agreed to take her there for a pre-Christmas meal. The atmosphere in the place is quite generic, a little dark and dingy, but the staff were attentive for the first half of the meal, and did what they could to accommodate my elderly friend.

We visit this restaurant a few times a year and it is always friendly and the food is consistently good. There are very few family businesses like this still around and there is always a warm and friendly welcome here.

We visited this Italian for our Anniversary and were squashed in next to another couple. We ordered an appetiser which was basically a deep fried rice and cheese ball with peas in it. It had no flavour at all. We then ordered pizzas for main. I ordered the Fiorentina which has an egg in the middle of it. The egg was raw. It was so raw it was still transparent, not just undercooked. I ate round said egg and left a load of raw egg sludge and uncooked mozerella on my plate. When the waitress came to collect the plates I told her my egg was raw and she said ‘that’s how it’s supposed to be’. I doubt ANYONE other than a body builder would want to eat a raw egg on a pizza! It certainly didn’t advertise it as raw on the menu. To add insult to injury we were then charged 10% service charge automatically on the bill despite us having spent a total of about 2 minutes in total with the waiting staff. They were so inattentive we didn’t bother even trying to order a dessert. Very disappointing and took the edge off of what had been a nice anniversary. Will not be recommending or going again.

Went for our Christmas meal. Persons packed in like sardines. Had three hours parking as disabled on yellow lines. However, not enough time for the three courses and coffee. Very rude staff who kept saying they were doing their best. Kept saying the food was coming. Asked three times for the coffee and tried to explain I had to go but was completely ignored. Tried to speak to the Manager/Owner who did not want to hear me speak, but simply said it was our fault as we were late as was the other big party in. Told him how bad it was and how long we had to wait and that we had to go and all he said was I could have a coffee if I wanted. repeated I had waited an hour between each course and he just shrugged his shoulders. No offer of discount or really any apology. To precis, very rude overworked staff with no apathy for the customer. Probably the worst Christmas meal my whole party had experienced and now wish I hadn't paid but felt quite intimidated by their whole manner..

Me and my boyfriend come here quite regularly and are never disappointed. There’s quite a big selection of food to choose from on the menu, as well as good vegetarian options. The price is great, the location is great, and the staff are fantastic.

Food consistently good quality with friendly even entertaining service. A bit odd to have coffee and choc before the desert course, but not a major issue.

Had yet another lovely lunch here, with our little Cocapoo. Love this restaurant, the food’s great, gluten free pasta, service is brilliant AND we can bring our furbaby. 😊👍🏽

Wonderful night out for friend 60 birthday - great food and service and a wow to #Suspiciously Elvis who made the evening special!

We visited Al Duomo because my father remembered a wonderful night he spent there many years ago. He described a great atmosphere with friends drinking and laughing well into the night. Sadly this visit was far from that.

They managed to fit us in without us booking. Service initially was a little slow but it was incredibly busy. Excellent food. Friendly staff. Well recommended.

Have been here a few times.the staff are very friendly and helpful .the food is always very tasty and well served .from Pasta to Chicken or Steak .never been disappointed .also they have a lovely room for hire downstairs .

Hadn’t been here for 20-odd years and then my son and I called in for an early dinner. All the memories of this food mecca flooded back. It really is an amazing restaurant. My son had the garlic bread with cheese as a starter, while I had bruschetta. We then both had pizzas for our main courses. The meal was rounded off with us both having creme brûlée for dessert. Well worth a visit!

This is my ‘go to’ restaurant in Brighton and I probably eat here once a month. I have been with friends and with children. Staff are friendly and service is relaxed. Food is good Italian and generous portions.

Stopped for a spot of lunch and shared a meat platter. Would have benefitted from some bread with it but otherwise very good. Drinks were lovely too and the table service very welcome. Staff are friendly and very pleasant.

Booked a table for 8 people to celebrate a 60th birthday on a Saturday evening, was disappointed as not even a balloon on the table. Food was OK but service was poor. Would not book again for a special occasion, perhaps a lunch would have been better as I think they were too busy to cope with a large table

Me encontré aquí para tomar un par de copas una noche y fue encantador sentarme afuera con la puesta de sol, fue un ambiente agradable con transeúntes, ¡pero sin tráfico! La comida olía increíble, pero como ya habíamos comido, tomamos unas bebidas que eran encantadoras, sin embargo nos sirvieron con relativa lentitud. Las bebidas estaban muy bien de precio. Definitivamente recomendaría

I try to eat here whenever I go to Brighton. Lovely food, menu and setting. I had Gnocchi this time and wasn't disappointed, family members loved their pasta and pizza just as much. Will return again and again.

Ayer vinimos un grupo de 12 mujeres para una reunión de trabajo. Tan pronto como llegamos, nos dimos cuenta de que el lugar estaba muy ocupado, pero los chicos fueron muy buenos en acomodarnos, esperamos 10 minutos en el bar mientras organizaban una mesa en el primer nivel. Pedimos entrantes y platos principales y algunos de nosotros fuimos para los postres, todo fue absolutamente delicioso, el servicio también fue bueno rápido y profesional, sin duda volveré.

En plus que c’est plus cher que la plupart des restaurant à Brighton c’est pas très bon.

La comida era muy fresca. Estaba desesperado por un poco de comida italiana y me dijeron que este era uno de los pocos lugares que era auténtico por el empleado de mi hotel italiano. .

La comida llegó muy rápido y el personal fue agradable siempre asegurándose de que tuviéramos todo y estuviéramos bien. Mi pizza era encantadora y las patatas fritas también eran encantadoras. Definitivamente recomendaría este restaurante y volveré. Mi comida tenía un precio muy razonable, me encantó!

Had 40 of us at retirement meal. Alberto was excellent ensuring we had what we wanted and the staff looked after us well. Excellent and reasonably priced set menu. Always good food and atmosphere, would definitely recommend for any size party.

Amazing food. Staff go out of their way to ensure you are having the best experience possible. The restaurant is located in a very nice area of Brighton, close to all the nearby attractions. Food and drinks are top quality while being well priced. Highly recommended.

We ate here recently to celebrate a graduation. We had a special menu of three course plus a glass of prosecco on arrival for £19.95. There were 11 in our party and every one of them commented about how good the food was and the level of service. The portions were generous and the quality of food and presentation of a high standard.

Me and my family decided to have a light lunch after a visit to the royal Pavilion on Monday 24 September but after looking at the menu we went for the full meal . The pizzas and pastas were amazing and the service was great. Thanks to all staff, my dad is on wheelchair so we wanted to sit outside to make it easy for the staff but the guys insisted that was no problem for a table inside .Thank you all for a great time.

Went in for lunch at 11.50. We were told that they don't open until 12 so we asked if we could have a drink and wait. The staff were not friendly or welcoming. We ordered a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc with some soda and ice. We were offered the wine to test which was ok but no ice was brought to our table. We had to ask again for ice. My friend added the "soda" to her wine and having taken a mouthful decided it was not pleasant. A check of the mixer identified that it was not soda but tonic. This was raised with a member of bar staff who then brought us a bottle of San Pelligino water as they did not have soda and that we would not have to pay for it. The resulting drink was watered down wine :-( I spoke with the waiter again told him it tasted dreadful and that we didn't want to drink it. he said that the water was on the house but he would not be able to cancel the wine. We told him that we would not pay and had we been told that there was no soda we would not have ordered the drink, we were the told that soda was available from the gun at the bar so he could make us a spritzer but by this time we just wanted to leave due to both the bad service and being made to feel as if we were a nuisance. We left without paying and not surprisingly a bad opinion of this restaurant which we have visited on previous occasion never having been treated in this way

I had family visiting and as I've never been to this restaurant before I thought I'd try it. It's featured on many sites as one of the top Italian restaurants in Brighton ?

Deliziosa cucina siciliana e ottimo anche per celiaci. Bellissima la posizione vicino al Royal Pavilion. Personale molto gentile.

great food. had to come back again. although it is a very hard choice to choose- pasta or pizza?? as both are fabulous. you can feel that all of the ingredients are Italian - proper italian sausage etc.

This was a great restaurant for a group or a couple - food was excellent from a very good menu selection. Staff were very attentive and helpful

As always a lovely meal. Pasta cooked to perfection and fresh, as if this restaurant would do any thing else. Staff are passionate about the food and service. We also had great freshly made pizza, shame they no longer use a wood oven, now gas! Lots of wine by the glass at reasonable prices. Their ice cream is almost out of this world, all flavour no after greasy taste. One small drip, knowing the size of mains we wanted to share a starter our waiter was not at all keen on this! Never had this issue before.

Ottimo ristorante in una posizione strategica di Brighton.

We popped in for a quick lunch and we loved everything, it felt really like proper Italian food. My main, gnocchi with prawns and pesto, was simply delicious. Great value for the price we paid. The waiter and the waitress were very friendly too and made sure we have all what we need. We will come back definitely!

Service and food was good. Had a seafood platter to start between 2 adults and 1 child and was really good and really good portion. For mains I had napolitano pizza my wife penne arrabiato and daughter kids pasta all was really good. Only reason I mark down is because 10% service charge was on bill (let me decide) also was never shown set menu which I would maybe have liked the option of.

Ho cenato il 17 agosto con la mia famiglia e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia per il rapporto qualita' prezzo sia per la freschezza e bontà del cibo.

I stopped here for a cream tea on the 20.8.18, after having to ask twice for a cream tea, the cream tea was eventually brought to my table. Served without any offering of milk!! Again I had to ask twice for some milk and was told that I would have to wait a couple of minutes before I could be given some milk to have with my tea. Which would have been stone cold by the time I would have got the milk. Decided to leave the cream tea on the table and walked away. Do not eat here services is awful.

Have been here once, with my family over lunch. Had the pasta pestox pizza porcini and children's pizza with olives. Just amazing flavours, great pizza base etcetera. The environment has a rustic and organic feel to it; that is: it feels like the restaurant and its design has developed organically over time. Nice and helpful staff.

I chose this restaurant for a meal after my graduation ceremony, but unfortunately experienced many issues. Rather than post a negative review I decided to email them a detailed complaint, to which I received the perfect reply stating their apologies and shock at the issues that I mentioned. They told me they were going to investigate further and will reply within that week, and I’ve heard nothing since. I emailed again asking how their investigation went...no reply! Very disappointing as I stated many issues / constructive criticism for them to work on and discuss with me but they clearly are not interested.

Please do not allow yourself to waste your money eating here. The food is without a doubt the worst I have eaten at any Italian restaurant. The food was so awful that I complained (which I never do) when asked why I had left so much of my lunch on the plate for my main.

Location, Food and Service are all good at Al Duomo. Personally the drink options I found a little limited, but the food options are plenty. Second time I’ve being there and the service and food is consistent.

We went here because it was close to the Theatre Royal. I ordered pasta with smoked salmon, cream, brandy and pepper (Farfalle al salmone). When my dish came the salmon was cooked not smoked and the sauce was pink so probably tomato based. The food was incredibly salty and I couldn't eat it although my partner ordered the gnocchi and his dish was ok. The menu is ridiculously too big and the service was slow considering they weren't that busy when we arrived. The ladies toilets were disgusting and were so bad that I and another lady left without using them. We went to the theatre afterwards and I was feeling ill by the interval. This ruined our evening.

I have grown up in Brighton and been to Al Duomo more times than I can remember. The food is always great, central location and normally the service is good too. So when my friends visited from London, I didn't hesitate in booking a table there for dinner. Ended up being embarrassed at how rude several members of the staff were to us. When we arrived, the waiter didn't give us a drinks menu but then appeared to be somewhat annoyed at the fact that we couldn't decided what to drink. Then when we told him which cocktails we would like, he decided to make it very obvious that he thought we were underage and loudly asked for our ID. (We are all almost 30.) As I obviously hadn't seen my friends in a while, we were chatting lots and deciding what to eat. Someone came up to us literally every 3-4mins asking us to order and when we said we didn't know yet and wanted a little more time they kept rushing us. When our drinks arrived, they were spilt on the table. The food was good, but we didn't feel very comfortable there and felt very rushed although the restaurant did not look that busy (there were lots of empty tables). When we finally wanted to pay and go, the waiters kept avoiding us. Then on the bill we automatically have to pay 10% service charge. In my opinion, the service was rubbish. At this point, we just wanted to leave so paid and enjoyed the rest of our evening.

We came across this busy family run restaurant and even though we hadn’t booked, we were found a great table and were really looked after. Our Server was lovely and made some fantastic suggestions.

Great atmosphere and food. Service friendly but a little slow, which didn’t matter to us as we weren’t in a hurry.

Me and my boyfriend wanted an authentic itlaian experience for our 1 year anniversary. We decided to celebrate at al duomo and we were over the moon with the excellent table service and friendly staff. The food was gorgeous and they had amazing attention to detail. We were even treated to a complimentary glass of Champagne for our anniversary. This attention to detail made for an unforgettable evening and we are so grateful for the phenomenal service and care from the staff. We will definitely be visiting again!

This family run restaurant Never fails to please whatever the occasion. Excellent food and customer service and very reasonable prices. Thanks again Aldoumo

Enjoyed lunch here with a friend, he had a lamb shank and I had veal. Both dishes were great, fantastic flavours. The service from the friendly staff was efficient and speedy. A great place to eat outside when the weather allows

Sat outside on a lovely balmy evening, party of 6 plus toddler. Toddler was entranced by the Waitress taking special attention to him. Vast selection of food to choose from, everyone agreed the food was excellent, it was nice that the toddler had space to stretch his legs and have a little dance to an accordionist who was passing. Thought the bill was reasonable.

We visited this restaurant last Saturday, we had booked a table for 2pm but arrived early they accommodated this very well. The staff are friendly and helpful even though they were extremely busy. We went for the set lunchtime menu (this wasn’t offered to us initially but we asked fo it as had checked restaurant out on line before visiting) which provided excellent choice at very good value. Not keen on the service charge being added to the bill, but don’t normally eat in Brighton so this may be the norm.

Came here for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon as a family 4. Table was booked for 2pm however we were a little early and they still managed to cater us! We all had the set menu which is great value for money and the portions as still of generous size. The food was so so good we will not hesitate in coming to Al Duomo in the future

Booked a table in advance on line for a graduation celebratory meal and asked for graduation menu. We arrived at the restaurant but there was no acknowledgement of the fact that it was a graduation celebration and we had to ask for the gradution menu which was a little disappointing as would have expected the restaurant to make some acknowledgement. The service was slow and the restaurant was not full by any means as it was early evening. However we all agreed the food was very good as were the portion sizes and we thought it was a good price for the set graduation menu this is why we gave it a very good rating had the service been better it would have been excellent. We were happy to pay the 10% based on the fact we enjoyed the food which we felt made up for the poor service. ..

Food was pretty decent, nothing special but deff not bad. Slightly on the expensive side. Service was fine. Would have given four stars if they didnt force us to pay an extra unexpected 10% service costs, which seems a bit of an overkill with the food already being on the slightly expensive side. Did have agood time though ambiance was lovely.

Close to a tourist trap. No love in the food, absolutely no love in the service. Undercooked saltimbocca with too many potatoes, average lasagna, ok risottos. The service is virtually none, they work like machines, don’t ask for another round of drinks etc. For us no option for a second time.

Thanks to Marco and the rest of the staff at this Restuarant . My wife and I had a very enjoyable lunch . With a highly recommended bottle of wine . Excellent service with a smile 😀

Had another superb meal with friends at Al Duomo last night, Superb food, service and drinks. Also had a Tom Jones Tribute act. Must return again soon.

Went here for a meal with friends and the pizza was good. We also shared some starters that were tasty. It has a nice atmosphere and the service was prompt.

Food was delicious and staff were lovely, service is slow though. We had table booked for 7.30 and didn't receive our meals until 9pm (there was only two of us). We did have to ask to move inside as it was getting colder the later it got which they done for us immediately. I would definitely return if I wasn't in a rush and probably book a bit earlier.

Ausgezeichnete Qualität autentisch italienisch. Grosse Speisekarte, Pizzen und Pasta frisch zubereitet und heiss serviert. Zuvorkommene, aufmerksame Bedienung. WC sehr sauber (Damen WC platzverhältnismässig eng)

Went as a group of 12 to celebrate birthdays on a Saturday lunch time. We sat outside which became very hot as the sun came round, so bare in mind if you're going to be there for a few hours. Service and food were excellent, with everyone happy with their choices.

Pleasantly situate next to the pavilion and gardens with a good looking menu we sat outside in the sun and waited and waited and waited. We approached a waiter who came over with menus but we stopped him putting then down on our dirty, wet table. We waited and waited again and were asked if we'd like a drink. Again we waited and waited (we'd ordered fizzy water!) We ate about 40 minutes after arriving and the food was good and the bill very reasonable. Would visit again but ask for speedier service.

We went there yesterday with 15 students - excellent food, great and very friendly service ... highly recommendable.

It was a lovely sunny day which always helps, so we sat outside. The waiters couldn't do enough for us, very helpful and very knowledgeable, which helped as i didn't know what i wanted, and what a menu. I started with the salmon, and main, tuna steak, i couldn't recommended it any higher. The wine list was great and again with the Knowledge of the waiter, i think i choose well. (well he did, cheers). great venue, mix of traditional and modern. Like it, with private rooms. great place i'll be back Thank you.

We had to wait ages for our starter then again for our mains had ask twice for a bottle of wine. Asked for salt and ketchup again didn’t come until I went in to complain. No apologies when wine etc did finally arrive. Had Sword fish steak very dry and pretty tasteless could have done with some seasoning. Would not recommend.

I stopped here for a salad; opting for a large avocado and bacon one. It wasn't large; it was blooming massive! The dish was best described as 'no frills', but tasty and filling at the same time (just what I was looking for) and far cheaper than all the competition, including the chains. They automatically add a 10% service charge here, but even after that it's still amazing value. I'd definitely eat here again.

Reliably good food, especially the blackboard choices. I have eaten here many times. Never seems too full. I think there are several floors though I have only sat at the street level part.

My friend lives in Brighton and took me here when I came to visit. WOW! Being Italian I found this place very authentic and spot on! Wood fired oven so the pizza was amazing, from the starters to the desserts, everything was perfect and I’ve been twice now. Every time I come to Brighton I just remember the “amazing-ness” of this place! Can’t wait to go back.

The Maypole pub in Cambridge serves up an excellent melanzane alla parmigiana that is tasty, unbeatable value and the best I have ever tasted. Why am I telling you this? Because that was then and now is now. The Al Duomo's is better - well-balanced and absolutely delicious. They also serve a decent Long Island Iced Tea (2 for £8.50 Sunday - Friday). The 2 for 1 main course deal through the Gourmet Society was the icing on the cake. The service was excellent and the atmosphere in the early evening on the terrace at the front was relaxed and friendly. Approx £22 per head for two courses plus cocktails

Me and my partner visited Brighton and go (as per usual) to our favourite place. The weather was lovely and We sat outside in the garden bit. Our waiter barely spoke English and it was rude. The table next to us kept shouting to another table behind us in Italian the whole meal plus talking in Italian to the waiter just loudly in Italian too. Now of you think that's bringing more Italy to the UK, that was definitely not the case. We love Italy going there regularly and never have seen something like this. We couldn't hear each other talking. What a shame that waiter carried on with those tables instead of saying that other people sitting right next to them may not enjoy their conversation over the tables. Deeply disappointed about lack of any intervention or apologies from the staff. Perhaps that was the boss of the place since they were just laughing and no one said anything? As I don't understand how this is a good service. We are really sorry and never coming back guys.

We held a large family reunion here on Saturday and had the downstairs room to ourselves. It has a separate bar and music area, and we were so well looked after from the time of booking until the time we left the restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. They made us feel so welcome and everyone enjoyed the night. Thank you so much to Alberto and your team for a memorable evening. Coping with our last minute drop outs and food requirements. I would definitely recommend you.

This is a wonderful restaurant with a great variety of choice and at very reasonable prices . I highly recommend.

stop in for coffee and scones with jam and cream.

Walked in after day in Brighton. Best pizza for years. All food exceptional - highly recommended Staff great and very reasonably priced.

Hi , me and my partner walked in on a busy Saturday night and was given a table instantly. The service Was great and we had several table check backs from friendly professional staff... food came out fast and was delicious, thank you for giving us a lovely start of our evening ... I will return

Yummy food, lovely atmosphere, Affordable prices . Simply one of the best restaurants in Brighton and hove

First time I've been to this restaurant and I will return. There is plenty of seating, nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I had the hot galic mushrooms in butter and they where delicious, just needed a bit of bread to soak up the juice. Main course I had the penne peperonata which was absolutely amazing, so tasty and a good portion. Had tiramisu for dessert Iit was ok but not the best I've had. but that won't stop me from going back as as everything else was brilliant

Great service, lovely Italian girl, she was so funny and pleasant.I’ll go back for sure. I had the seafood spaghetti

Samstag abends bis auf den letzten Platz, etwas laut, aber Super-aufmerksam die Bedienung und sehr gutes Essen, ein bisschen italianita

Abbiamo cenato questa sera io e mio figlio,personale gentile e simpatico,il cibo eccellente,un angolo italiano con tt la cordialità possibile,consigliato veramente anche per il prezzo equo e abbordabilissimo.

Visited again whilst in Brighton first time for 18 months and was not disappointed it has not changed good value for money the quality of food and service will not disappoint.
