Alduomo Italian Restaurant in Brighton and Hove

Fantastic staff and great food.

Amazing food and staff. We came here for New Year’s Eve and the food was fantastic. Thank you for a lovely night.

Zero stars. I cannot believe you have sent me an email thanking me for joining you yesterday. I couldn't join you yesterday despite turning up on time with my friends. You claimed that my booking didn't exist, despite the fact that I showed you your confirmation email from 2nd Dec and the email you sent a couple of days ago, asking me to confirm that my party and I were coming. I could not have done anything more to ensure my booking was safe. We were treated appallingly on arrival, basically insinuating that I had done something wrong. In 40 years of eating out in Brighton I have never been spoken to so rudely or treated so badly. We will not be dining with you again and I will be warning everyone I know about your booking system which obviously isn't fit for purpose.

It’s been a few years since we had been,this time we were a large table of 12 and although there was a mix up at the time of booking Francesco went of his way to sort it and we all had lovely food,in time for the theatre,will go again

Excellent family run restaurant, everyone is made to feel welcome and special. Thank you

Took my wife here for her birthday, honestly best restaurant experience we've ever had, please can you move closer to me

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious pizza

Food wax average. Garlic bread did not taste of garlic and we hadn’t even finished that as a starter when our mains arrived so felt very rushed.

Went here with a big group of friends - 3 of us vegan, 2 vegetarians & serval omnivores, and everyone found something nice to eat. The fried courgettes & vegan macaroni bake with aubergine were super delicious, the vegan capricciosa pizza was amazing too and had a lot of actually good vegan cheese on it. The spaghetti with aglio, olio & peppericoni didn't blow me away, we've had more flavourful ones in other places, but considering the tastiness and generous sizes of all meals, it's not a big thing. Tasty meals and good options 😊

We booked a table for 6 as we have done many times before . We were all disappointed with the standard of the food - my husbands comment was that we had had much better on previous visits . The food was luke warm and at almost £60 a head we expected a much better experience , it’s such a shame .

Not sure what happened and when, but went last year and everything was a lot better, food was bland, was a bit chilly and just not like it used to be, didn't recognised any of the staff so maybe new ownership

Great, think of the above as 4.8 stars each. 5 should be only rarely given

Great family run restaurant, brilliantly tasty food from the chef! Lovely atmosphere and accommodating 16 of us with true Italian hospitality. Will 100% be back.

Lovely food. Seafood risotto particularly delicious and gluten free.

Strangely enough, we had a steak in an Italian restaurant, and it was just lush... yummy, yummy 😋

Food was delicious, certainly plenty to go around! The staff were super friendly and so accommodating. A truly wonderful evening.

We had dinner last Sunday and everything was absolutely perfect. Attentive service and the food was really great (I am Italian) and pretty much everything was handmade from the bread to the pasta and dessert. Generous portions too, we couldn't finish everything. We will definitely come back. Recommended if you are looking for authentic and good quality Italian food in Brighton.

Second visit and once again Great food and service was efficient and friendly Will definitely come back again

Poor quality food and expensive for what you get.

Lovely food and wine and great service and lovely atmosphere as always. Recommended.u

We had Riana she was amazing the best service made us feel so welcome

Following a visit to a local theatre a group amounting to 47 attended for afternoon tea on 11/12/24. We had our own separate area on the first floor. Our tea was ready to be eaten from the moment we arrived and the quality of the food and service were excellent.

Service a bit hit or miss but they were clearly understaffed. Food acceptable but nothing special.

We had a super event at Al Duomo, wonderful food and service, thanks so much.

Fabulous food, great ingredients, imaginative presentation.

Excellent evening all round. Great food and huge portions!Thank you!

Food was amazing and Laoise was fantastic! Great service by her

The staff are very friendly and helpful; the ice cream desert was disappointing although all the other dishes were very good. The booking system is arduous! Repeated emails about providing credit card details and having to confirm the booking about three times were not conducive to making the process easy. Something needs to be done about this because custom may otherwise be lost.

We booked a table last minute after some back and forward on where to go. Glad we came to Al Duomo. Food was excellent, service even better!

Very nice meal and good service. It was a shame the restaurant was mostly empty on the day we visited. We will visit again when we are in Brighton

Fantastic food, great variety and excellent customer services...what more could you ask for. Thank you.

Very nice Italian restaurant with a good choice of food. We really enjoyed our pasta and risotto. Tiramisu was delicious too. It is a nice place to come for food and wine. The service was very nice so was the food which was freshly made. Would highly recommend this place

Food was great, service was great, atmosphere was affected by overhead air conditioning blowing cool air on our heads on a cold day

Brilliant restaurant, just had my 50th there with a table of 28 and they couldn't have been more helpful, fun staff, super food and amazing service. Thanks David and team.

I meet friends here a few times a year. I always enjoy the food. The risotto with prawns & asparagus was excellent. Highly recommend it.

Excellent old school Italian nosh with some unusual options. Several rooms creates a cosier feel than expected for such a large place.

Exceptional food, value, location and above all service. Lovely genuine people. Your lady near the bar heard my knife drop and simply brought me a clean one. I was three tables away. We will return. Thank you. Stan and Clare

Delicious lunch, friendly staff & spotlessly clean. Really enjoyed the Sardinian pasta dish followed by the best panna cotta ever!

This was honestly the nicest Italian restaurant we have ever eaten in. The food is absolutely delicious, possibly the nicest food we have ever eaten. The service is extremely fast and the food arrives freshly cooked and piping hot. The man (I think he is called David) is very nice and very funny. He actually made our evening with his exceptional customer service. We were only in Brighton for two night and planned to eat different cuisine on night 2. However, our food and the whole experience was so good that we rebooked again for Night 2. Our only complaint is that today we have to go home and we can’t eat there again tonight! Thank you Al Duomo for making our trip to Brighton amazing.

We shared a starter of fried courgettes were delicious. We then both had the butternut squash stuffed Ravioli with a pecan cream sauce which again was delicious but very filling. It was a Tuesday lunchtime so a bit quiet to have much atmosphere, but the service was excellent.

Lovely staff, delicious Italian food, not too expensive

Wonderful authentic Italian dining experience. To say the waiting team and friendly wouldn’t be understating them (I wish I knew our guy’s name. For the purposes of this review, I’ll call him A). During our lunch here, A’s attentiveness was second to none; he was passionate, chatty (but not too chatty), welcoming and joyful. A very clearly enjoys working here and takes pride in his job. The atmosphere was comforting, bustling and spacious with a perfect little space for our pushchair at the front by an unused door. We didn’t book but they were delighted to receive us then seated and served us quickly. The menu is concise yet varied- anyone can enjoy a great meal here. Service, quality and care all top notch. Would LOVE to return again.

Another brilliant visit to one of our favourite restaurants

The food was delicious and the service superior; Lucia answered all the questions I had of the menu (as I'm pregnant) with warmth and care. We'll definitely repeat!

Francesco and his team made our evening really special. The food was delicious and we really appreciated that they took the time to arrange details beforehand for our birthday celebration. Thank you, we will be back!

dog friendly, polite staff and food was great

Great food, nice people , well priced, we have been coming here for 48 years , here’s to another 40

Whenever I visit family we go to Al Duomo, best Italian restaurant in Brighton so far. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, yummy food, I’ve had so many things from the menu and enjoyed it all. Vongole superb, Marinara delicious, monkfish amazing, carbonara as it should be. I’ve tried two vegan options and they were both so tasty. Will always come back without hesitation 👍👍👍👍

Excellent lunch here today. Seafood risotto packed with clams, mussels and king prawns and set off with samphire. Management and staff run off their feet, but it’s not surprising it’s busy with great food and drink at a good price.

I’ve been coming here for 43 years and still love it!

Wonderful lunch. Some of the best pizzas outside of Italy and generous portions of pasta.

Food was great and the staff were excellent. There was no record of our booking when we arrived but it wasn’t a problem. They seated us immediately. Food was delivered quickly and the prices were very reasonable. Would highly recommend

Authentic Italian served by lovely people. A beautiful venue also. Good meal thanks!

A delightful venue serving fabulous food by gorgeous people 😘

Was great. Good food great service and staff were friendly.

Unfortunately my wife had the chicken and found some grisly bits which we highlighted to the waiter . He said we should have sent it back which would have resulted in both of us eating alone but the waiter became very defensive and we found it hard to get a word in let alone explain our reasons for not sending it back. As chicken is one of the most expensive items on the menu you expect a perfect meal. If anything it's over priced

Had a lovely meal. All staff were very courteous & friendly. Perfect pre theatre start to the evening. Shall definitely return on next visit to Brighton.

Great late night dinner and made Lexi ,our dog, very welcome.b

Excellent food and service. Huge menu choice of food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Will certainly visit again.

Had a quick meal before theatre, excellent service & great food

Fabulous authentic food and the service you would expect from an Italian restaurant. The cocktails were Bellissimo!

Seafood was excellent and Francesco provided wonderful service.

Just stopped off for a dessert 🍨 and coffee ☕️ before going to a show at the Dome Brighton and got food and service 😎

Francesco recommended us some beautiful dishes. We’ll be back!

Really friendly restaurant with great waiting staff. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I only wanted soup which wasn't on the menu but the waiter checked and was able to bring me soup from the lunchtime menu... really happy with the positive attitude.

Lovely evening and very friendly service. Started a little slow but picked up rapidly, with nice touches like recognising my daughters birthday. Food is fine, but priced at the upper end of what would be considered acceptable for high Street italian dishes.

I took my first date to this restaurant and they treated us so well and the food and service was just exquisite thank you

One of our regular restaurants when we are on Brighton and glad it reopened. Still going strong and enjoyed the evening

Great restaurant! We chose it against others, as it allowed our well-behaved dogs. Lots of space around tables for them to settle. We had a great meal. Fresh ingredients. Tasty dishes. I chose the aubergine with tomato and cheese sauce for starter and its flavours were delicious. My son had meatballs, which I tried. They were flavoursome and meaty. Other son enjoyed the mussels. The main courses we chose of pizzas and pasta in beef ragu sauce were again excellent. Maybe a touch more expensive overall than other places but so much fresher and more authentic than the chain Italian restaurants. A spacious and beautiful restaurant with friendly and professional staff too. Would definitely revisit when I'm in Brighton again.

Excellent seafood starting with plump garlic prawns and quantiful crispy squid - with the best bit crispy legs and all. Followed by a steaming trough delivered to the table - foil top slit open for you - of generous monkfish steak, clams and mussels. Pizza’s are proper crispy, no soggy bottoms. Well priced, great choice and very tasty house rosé was a Pinot Grigio. Great, friendly service from everyone - not just dedicated waiters with the others neglecting you like in many places. Appreciated! Dog friendly too yay!

A real 5-star experienced. A large group from the Brighton SEO Conference took over their upstairs bar and were treated to some exceptional Italian food and experience. Even folks like me who are mostly vegan had a large selection to choose from and the food I had was delicious! Grazie!

An excellent evening of great food, friendly, professional service in a much loved restaurant.

Yummy food, good value and dog friendly!

Not enough stars to give a decent score! 10 out of 5!

Friendly staff, food was lovely & portions a very good size! No room for a pudding but they did look nice!

Excellent food. Great service and good value for money. We have been coming here for years.

Beautiful food, lovely atmosphere. Great staff and service. Especially Francesco!

An outstanding lunch for my father’s birthday. Our first time going to Al Duomo, with the family (and dogs!) and it was great. The manager was friendly and the staff were attentive. The food was delicious, it felt like we were back in Italy! 100% recommend going here. Thank you for making my Father’s birthday that extra bit more special.

Lovely food , lovely restaurant Lovely staff.. dogs allowed too! Just a really nice place to visit.. good drinks selection and great menu choice. .

Really great range of vegetarian food and things I had not tried before. Really delicious too. Loved that it was very welcoming and unpretentious.

Great place, great service and great food!!

Really good food, and lovely waiting staff.

Lovely early pre concert dinner delightful waitresses abd excellent service . Beautiful food really enjoyed

Good food, good service and good location. Food menu, reasonably priced food, drinks a little expensive but it is Prime Brighton area. Service charge is added to the bill.

Rather a delay in waiting for food and drinks

Had the most wonderful time coming for a hen party dinner, the service was impeccable and had honestly the most lovely time. Thank you for looking after us.

Lovely and attentive staff and yummy Pizza!

Great food, and putting us in a private dining area was an added bonus. Thank you!

Very tasty food, excellent quality. Great service

Excellent meal good choice of food

Great food, friendly service. Expensive but worth it. Our go-to place òn football weekends

Absolutely delicious food. We had the pre-theatre menu which had a range of choices and excellent value. Our server Riana couldn’t be more helpful from selecting wine and choices of food. Worth a visit

The atmosphere is beautiful. I had the risotto, which unfortunately tasted exactly the same as the cheap packet yellow rice with peas. Disappointing. Expensive and the waiter couldn't understand us, I'm not sure he could speak English.

Great menu and the foods lovely . Huge portions so good value

Visited after my partner took part in the London to Brighton bike ride.needed something before driving back , so I'm glad we did as due to traffic congestion took longer than it should. Anyway, the Restaurant Review : The food was delicious, I have a dairy intolerance and the waited checked what I'd asked for was safe , the staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Really, it is worth a visit if you like good food , a lovely atmosphere and great service !!! 10/10.

Excellent service and friendly staff fantastic food

Poor waiter. Not attentive. Dont think he really wanted to be working.

Excellent Italian restaurant! The pizzas were delicious and authentic. The servers, with their charming Italian accents, were adorable while still maintaining great professionalism. Their kindness and attention made the experience even more enjoyable. Grazie!

Great restaurant, luv the food n drinks, nice service, had fun

Amazing carbonara and a really great service from my server Francesco . Highly recommended
