Amici in Brighton and Hove

A little gem on tired old Blatchington Rd.

Amazing food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere.

Grate little place in Hove. Have been many times now with my parents and always have the calzone and Tiramsu. Girls and guys are fantastic in there would highly recommend a visit

Had a really nice meal here - calamari starter and Gorgonzola gnocchi. Very happy to support a good local business like this.

Great food from a great offering on the menu .. the prices were fair and the staff was friendly and attentive. Was my neighborhood « go to » during my visit to lovely Brighton

Had the best gluten free pizza. Was thin based , with crispy outside and super soft and fluffy edges inside. Tasted just like normal Italian pizza . Not eaten one this good in years 🙌🏼 They also do gluten free pasta and vegan options! Staff super friendly and lovely cosy and environment . Thank you 🫶

A little bit of Italy in Brighton and Hove. All round lovely Italian restaurant serving great food.

Visited last night for the first time and had a fab time. A really friendly and attentive waitress and the food was delicious, tasted very fresh. They were very welcoming with my two young boys as well. Defo recommend a visit.

Went here based on great reviews. Was disappointed. Starter portions were small and expensive. £9.50 for 3 small meatballs? Seafood pasta was OK. Nduja pasta dish OK. Nothing great. Hardly anyone in there. So lacked atmosphere.

Visited on Thursday - we live on the far end of Brighton from here, but it's worth the trip over, this place is fantastic. The decor is relaxed, the food is consistently amazing - starters and mains - and my daughter was a bit in awe of our waitress who she found wonderful.

Amici is still one of my absolute favourite restaurants, and the food is still amazing from my first visit here in 2021

Staff could not be more helpful and accommodating of our gluten free requirements. Food was amazing

The best Italian restaurant in Brighton and Hove, highly recommended. Thanks to the excellent waitress Eva.

Went there for dinner which was fine at the end I pointed out my Caesar salad had no anchovies on it.the waitress came with the bill and said the chef had looked at the remains on the plate that were left and declared that there were remains of anchovies on it.he was wrong there were no anchovies.i don’t think anyone could eat anchovies and not know it.i didn’t like to be made out to be a liar. won’t return

Our first visit here, been talking about coming here for awhile, is was amazing, food and flavours were excellent, staff were attentive, professional and welcoming. We definitely recommend. Will be back.

True and real Italian experience in the centre of beautiful Hove. Authentic food and drinks in an Italian taverna.

Really great food, particularly the pizza. Fantastic service too - warm, friendly and we felt looked after. Thank you.

We wanted to like this place very much but it wasn't meant to be. Our usual Italian "hole in the wall" was closed so we gave this place a try. It's Italian owned which we loved about it and we wanted to give it a try. We were welcomed in nicely and service throughout was great. However the food was very bland. Garlic bread tasted like a freezer brand and the pizza was very very thin. Due to the thickness it was very soupy. The sauce didn't have much flavour aside from tomatoes. I think the restaurant had a very authentic feel to it but sadly we will have to stick to our usual place round the corner. 😕

We watched the Italy v Spain game in the secret garden! Great food and amazing service! Definitely going back!

Lovely Italian! Very nice setting , the food was really tasty and reasonably priced, the staff were very nice. There’s a lovely little outside space at the back too. Will definitely be coming back!

On Thursday, my partner and I visited, and the service from Nimo and the food you make are incredible. I will return to eat there whenever I can! Congratulations on your amazing and pleasant restaurant!

The Bruschetta was tasteless, the house white wine was pretty bad. Calzone was great, really liked the filling and dough. Kids liked their Hawaiian pizza and the other pizza was a simple one with anchovies - rich in flavour. The waitress was pleasant but the chef was whinging about something or another - not ideal in front of customers.

Food is great and not expensive for casual dining, and the staff are friendly. The only downside was it was quite noisy with lots of kids running. But hopefully that was a rarity due to customers at that time. Will be going back

Delicious food, quick service, laid back atmosphere. A nice chill night :)

We had such a lovely time! The food was incredibly delicious, and the chef was happy to make my fussy self an item off the menu. What a true chef! Our server was lovely, food tasted amazing and authentic, italian music playing, the decorations and atmosphere made us feel like we were in Italy! Affordable too! Thank you for the wonderful experience! 😊🫶

What a hidden gem. Quite frankly one of the best dining experiences in Brighton & Hove. Been there on half a dozen occasions now, and has never failed to deliver on quality of food or friendliness of service. A must try

Food was good coke zero was nice and cold i was full service was good mood lighting

Very pleasant Italian restaurant. Food choice is good. A little dearer than most of its competitors in Hove which we didn't feel we got anything better than we would have else where. Usual rip off price for a coke zero, which came in its own can....coffee very small and overpriced for what it was

Excellent food and excellent service! I would highly recommend

Went for a big family meal, good service and nice food 😋

All round great experience. We really enjoyed the food, I especially enjoyed the vegetarian Arancini starter. I also liked the service, we weren’t left waiting long to order or to receive our food. The only downside I could possibly say is the music was slightly too loud as I had taken my elderly grandmother there, but it wasn’t a problem for the most part.

Hi! “The Asian lady” here you referred in some comments below. What an unnecessary racist comment that shows the level of respect you have for your customers. We remember that night very well for you to be accusing customers. The food was average but the worst is the customer service you offer.

Well where do I start, the first word that comes to mind is DISAPPOINTED.... We came here because the restaurant we originally wanted to go to was shut. The staff were initially really friendly and attentive however things went quickly downhill when things we ordered were changed without asking us beforehand... Starter: Garlic bread to share, that was the only thing that we were all happy with, no complaints. Mains: So one of us ordered a Spaghetti Meatballs and to my utter disbelief it arrived with the following statement from the waitress 'Oh, I know you didnt order this with Pene but the chef said that it tastes much better'. I have never in my life seen a chef change someones order without even asking, to then serve it to us with that explanation ! Pizza Diavola: This was ordered with extra cheese and FRESH chillies. The pizza arrived looking a bit burnt and clearly without any of the extra's we asked for, so we mentioned this to the waitress who went to ask the chef, she then came back to tell us there was fresh chillies under the pizza but there was 0 chillies under or on top. The young waitress then proceeded to open the Chili oil bottle from another table and removed some chillies from there to put in a small bowl under the false pretence they were the 'fresh' chillies we asked for. We couldn't believe our eyes, for somewhere with such a high rating I never ever expected this. The other pizza we ordered was very average and the pasta I had was definitely the best of a bad bunch. I think the staff could clearly see they messed up our whole experience as they never once came to ask how the food was or anything. We asked for the bill and to our utter shock they tried to charge us for the 'fresh' chillies they removed from a bottle of chili oil.... I went straight up to mention it and the more senior waitress (who was lovely) instantly agreed to remove it from the bill however the younger waitress was muttering trying to argue that they were fresh chillies not knowing that we SAW her take them from the bottle. I don't know if we came on a bad evening but I struggle to understand their behaviour and their complete lack of remorse for their actions. They didn't even offer an apology or discount. Im sorry to say I don't think we will ever return to this restaurant. Don't change people's orders without asking, don't lie about having ingredients you don't have and then charge for it when you pull them from a bottle. We paid around £20 each and to be honest we would have had a better experience buying a frozen pizza and watching a film at home.

Fantastic Italian Restaurant. The food was superb and the staff friendly and helpful. They made us feel really welcome It was our first time here but it definitely won’t be our last. Excellent value for money.

Great restaurant. The waitress were very kind, the food was delicious and quite a big range from appetizers, pasta, pizza and other dishes. We went a group of 8 and had good fun. The vibe is very nice and feels very Italian. Very good value for money.

We love Amici, it is a cosy little restaurant with good food and really friendly staff. The service is always impeccable and we love the food and house wine. It is good quality home cooked food, favourite dish is the nduja pasta with mascarpone also the garlic bread with caramelised onions. Portion sizes are big and you always leave feeling very satisfied. We always seem to be able to get a table if we turn up last minute but the restaurant is always very busy. 100% recommend.

A great local Italian with top quality dishes! Across the group we tried vegan and gluten free options and everything impressed. The gluten free pizza base, cooked in their pizza oven, was crispy and delicious! Will be returning for a casual midweek treat dinner or weekend lunch.

I went to have dinner with friends and the food was good, the staff were friendly and the environment confortable. They just took a bit long to serve the food but it worth. I recommend the profiteroles for dessert, the best i ever tried!

Lovely food so flavourful. Friendly staff and very well laid out restaurant we will definitely be back.

The food was great. Great service and atmosphere. We had a great time visiting from AU.

A fantastic restaurant in Hove. Family run with delicious food, I highly recommend the lasagne but you won’t be disappointed with anything from the menu.

Small independent businesses such as Amici are becoming a rarity, the food and service are absolutely fantastic and they deserve all the support they can get! This place is one of my favourite Italian restaurants. I have to recommend their cannelloni and garlic pizza bread, it’s the best ❤️

Friendly waitress and helpful. Food disappointing on the day my family and I visited.

We went here as a family of 6 on Saturday evening. The restaurant is gorgeous, feels like you're on holiday as soon as you walk in. The staff were all so lovely with great service and the food was outstanding. We all absolutely loved our food and ate every mouthful! Highly recommend it!

Delicious pizza, risotto and salads, friendly service and fun atmosphere. Recommended!

Pizza was not as described as we’re supposed to be a seafood The seafood pizza was unable to be eaten as all the shells was left on it. The meat feast pizza look more like a vegetarian

Been here several times over the years. Lovely, authentic Italian food and great service every time.

The atmosphere is great at Amici. A really friendly family restaurant that was full and buzzing when we went in at 7pm. The service is quick and efficient and the menu has a selection of choices that you would expect at a family Italian restaurant. This place is a favourite for my family for casual dining and I can see why. Very reasonably priced too!

Fantastic, little restaurant great food, great service great prices

A friendly and busy place with a varied Italian menu and good food . Our first visit and a good job we booked ! Attentive service.

Great pizza and very authentic Italian service.

Great value restaurant, delicious food, friendly and super efficient service

Genuine delicious Italian food, great service and really nice atmosphere. Went for Mother's Day which can be a bit busy and cr*p in some places but not here!

Love this hidden gem in Hove. Great food, central location and friendly staff all at reasonable prices. What more could you ask for from an Italian restaurant!

Superb pizza, welcoming service, authentic.

Very nice authentic Italian food, yummy desserts and my friend loved the vegan pizza. Reasonably priced.We went when a large party were there, the staff coped very well but it did get loud, will definitely visit again if I'm in the area.

What a great place! Delicious food, reasonable prices and above all amazingly friendly and hospitable staff. Really appreciate that in this day and age - had a great evening. :)

Great food. Lovely attentive staff

Lunch for 3 on Sunday 23/1/22. Absolutely delicious. We had 2 courses (pizzas and dessert) and a bottle of wine. Pizzas were so nice that I was about to go for a second one. Ingredients were fresh and service was second to none. Peppe is a great host and Maria is the best chef tgat I have met in Brighton so far. Definitely worth a visit, and you won’t be disappointed.

Fab little restaurant, lovely food and great service.

Lovely pizzas. Very friendly staff. Will absolutely order again, thank you!

Always delicious traditional Italian food. Friendly staff. Fav place in Hove.

Great service throughout our visit. Excellent vegan and gluten free options. Can't wait to go back.

Amazing! We walked in on Saturday night with no reservation and were quickly accommodated and welcomed with a smile. The service was impeccable, food super tasty and prices very affordable. It really felt like we were in Italy, in a little trattoria, not in Hove on a cold winter night!✨

Very good food in a very friendly atmosphere. I was pleased to see families and children eating there

Amici is an amazing venue with great, Italian atmosphere and obviously food! Great staff, fantastic service and affordable prices. I'll return soon! :-)))

Fantastic food, wine and even better Service. The waiter was friendly, food cooked to perfection and served quickly. We were extremely happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommended.

I highly recommend, super fresh and delicious food for a very reasonable price. Amazing portion sizes and delicious wine. The service was incredible and waiter deserves a medal for being a delight. One of my favourite meals out in ages. We will be back many times.

An excellent little Italian. Pizza is delicious. Excellent service from Sophia. Will definitely return.

Looked at the food hygiene rating of this place... rated 1 out of 5... definitely a recipe for disaster! (excuse the pun).

Friendly neighborhood restaurant. Good value Delicious food and great pizzas

We visited last night and the food was amazing, can’t wait to come back soon and try the pizza. Our waitress Sophia was so friendly and attentive, we had a lovely chat with her, the restaurant are lucky to have such a lovely waitress. We will be back… a gem in Hove!

Stopped by for the time this week, on impulse, food and service were great, good value for money from a local restaurant. We will be back!

Mixed bag here. Pizzas generous and well cooked. Pasta portions very small, more like a child's size.

Food was disgusting Found some disturbing stuff DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET SICK

Delicious pizza and salad. The staff are very friendly.

Great atmosphere Fabulous staff, attentive, great service, welcoming and friendly Food is delicious Good value Would highly recommend

Great place to eat with friends. Good atmosphere house wine Lovely. Food great. Will go again

Stopped for a very late lunch / early dinner. Loved it.

Lovely Italian restaurant in Hove. The manager and the waitress were very friendly and careful of our dietary requirements. Food was really nice and the kids polished their plates. Would definitely recommend to anyone for lunch or dinner. 5*+

Came back after a long Covid enforced absence. Obviously missing Joe (Giuseppe) who is a Hove legend in his own lifetime. Food was delicious, wine perfect and service from Alissa, a true Milanese, whose now often underplayed ability to focus on making the customer experience special was sublime. Can’t wait to come back!

Really cute, family friendly, low key place of dining. Friendliest staff you could meet. Buzzing even on a Thursday night, and we got in with no reservation. Great food at a reasonable price. Highly recommended for a pleasant and casual dining experience.

Great place, such a little gem in Hove!

Just had lunch here and it was lovely. Fantastic food and superb service. We will be back very soon.

I will be bold but honest when i say that it was the best pizza I had in East sussex , ever. Highly recommended with fantastic food and amazing service . Will be coming back again and again ..........5💫

Amici’s is a great Italian authentic pizza place, take your mum, girlfriend, grandparents, schoolteacher, chiropractor. Guaranteed they’ll love it, top quality pizza, great music, lovely staff, wonderful ambience. 100% would go again.

Totally delicious and authentic Italian food. Great service and lovely Italian music playing. Awesome little restaurant ❤️

Wonderful little intimate restaurant just like you would find in Italy. Great food, always busy and Sophia is a fantastic server and the personality of the place.

Great Italian restaurant in Hove. Wonderful atmosphere and delicious authentic Italian food. Have been going for several years now, never disappoints and genuinely welcoming staff

Absolutely lovely service, food was brilliant ! Sofia served us, she was so nice, full of laughter and good energy ! She gave brilliant service and made us feel like we were regulars there. Would definitely recommend. Bri x

Amazing food. Great atmosphere Friendly staff.

I highly recommend this place for its Great Atmosphere with Friendly staff severing Excellent food at Reasonable prices.

Lovely place and food is amazing

Great little find with amazing staff, great food and good value. We will be back.

Tried here yesterday for the first time, what a pleasant surprise! Very friendly and helpful staff. I have trouble peeling my shellfish/taking it out of the shell, the restaurant were very obliging and done this for me which I found REALLY HELPFUL.... it's little acts of kindness like this that go a long long way! Should have left a tip but unfortunately had no cash with me. Very clean too, will definitely be back! If you haven't tried this "hidden gem" I promise, you won't b disappointed!

A small and cosy restaurant with good quality food and friendly staff

Great food, friendly service, our favourite local restaurant.

Got a takeaway this evening & it was lovely. Quality of the ingredients was clear. Delicious. Will go & eat in the restaurant soon. 😋

For those who have not been there, this is a truly small piece of Italian Heaven!! AND so is the food!! Shame I cannot marry the Chef and take him home with me!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Super delicious food and excellent customer service 😋
