Casalingo in Brighton and Hove

Small menu selection that is well done and the service was great. Highly recommended if looking for Italian food in Brighton

What a wonderful find service fantastic with a smile food excellent - cheesecake very very nice, will definitely revisit when in Brightob

Just perfect, hearty and tasty lasagna bolognese at the top, a real Italian like the restaurant that has been in the family for 46 years.

Beautiful food!.. lovely service too!

Wonderful family meal. Delicious food, excellent service, very pleased we chose Casalingo’s for dinner, thank you!!

Lovely restaurant. The staff were really friendly and attentive and made you feel relaxed. Food was so so delicious. Super generous portions! We were all stuffed… couldn’t say no to a dessert though!!

Just had an amazing meal at Casalingo. Service, food and ambience, excellent. I often go for carbonara when I visit an Italian restaurant. I can safely say that this was the best carbonara I have in a very long time. My wife's vongole was also excellent. Next time we visit Brighton, Casalingo will our first stop. Thank you

Another great meal here. Its to go to place when meeting a friend. The Dover Sole was fabulous. Staff are so friendly and service is unobtrusive. Can highly recommend

Went for valentines day and it was perfectly set up and had a great atmosphere, quick service and was overall fun, food tasted amazing, best italian food ive ever had.

Great Italian restaurant with authentic dishes, friendly professional staff and festive atmosphere! We are picky Italians and at Casalingo we felt we were back home with authentic cuisine, fresh ingredients and attentive team. Grazie ragazzi, bravissimi!

Lovely authentic Italian. Staff are very friendly and helpful, happy to accommodate dietary needs

Wow! At last, a great italian meal in Brighton! This place is fab, they went above & beyond for my birthday making it a special occasion. The food was excellent and the service too! I rarely write reviews but I can highly recommend this place.

Nice place, nice staff and veal was amazing

Every town should have a restaurant like Casalingo. It was authentically Italian, just like the places you find all over Italy when you’re on holiday. We were greeted like old friends even though this was our first visit. The food was beautifully cooked and the mussels were tender and delicious. Pasta dishes were authentic and very tasty. The portions were so generous that we reluctantly passed on a dessert although the patron insisted that we had a complimentary limoncello - how could we resist? A most enjoyable evening. David & Penny G.

Staff extremely nice and accommodating, food was absolutely amazing. An absolute gem of a restaurant in the heart of Brighton. Six of us arrived after a 8 hour drive from Glasgow and this just made our day! Thanks again all at Casalingo!

A deliciously reliable Italian for a splendid supper, served with a smile!

went in for the half price off promotion between 530&630 and the food was absolutely delicious. would absolutely recommend and would go again. the portion sizes are just perfect & they offer parmesan & freshly cracked pepper as the food comes out. check this place out

Excelente comida inc. excelente selección y calidad de alimentos a base de plantas. Gran ambiente con personal amable. Volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos Brighton.

Excellent all round, will definitely be returning.

Can't fault the place. Went for dinner with my wife, dad and step-mum. We all loved the food and the service was exceptionally friendly. Highly recommend.

Great authentic Italian food, would definitely eat there again. Pretty little restaurant too that is well situated

Deuxième séjour à Brighton et deuxième diner dans cet établissement petit mais au charme réconfortant. On est accueillis par un personnel souriant et au petit soin. Excellent repas avec canellonis, lasagne et linguine de la mer (ce dernier plat au top et copieux. Desserts parfait. Nous y reviendrons probablement. plats, 3 desserts et 2 boissons pour 100€, ça reste très correct pour l'Angleterre.

We went for the 1/2 off pasta promotion they had going for dinner and we absolutely loved it! Delicious pasta for a great deal and a lovely ambiance — what more could you ask for?

Estábamos muy contentos de encontrarnos con este restaurante. Estábamos en Brighton para una fiesta de cumpleaños y queríamos tener algo pequeño antes de ir. Nos sentamos justo antes de las 7 pm, muy contentos de conseguir una mesa. El personal es muy amable y sonriente. Pedimos una gran antipasta y algunas bebidas. El servicio era rápido y la comida era muy buena. Cuando estemos de vuelta en Brighton visitaremos y tendremos una comida completa aquí.

Angelo, this meal was truly a gift from the Gods above. thank you for your gorgeous presentation and warm atmosphere, i truly never wished to leave the establishment, so much so i wrote a poem; please enjoy Angelo Angelo , where art thou Angelo? food a gift, heaven sent , i could never give it up for lent, coffee and pasta, oil galore, thank you so much, me amore, Angelo Angelo, why couldn’t we see you, the espresso, however, a delicious brew, memories were made, birthdays too but nothing is better except you my trip to brighton has been made these memories shall never fade . thank you, and goodnight

Wonderful pasta in a great atmosphere! Everything we tried was delicious 😋

Precioso restaurante italiano. Tenía las setas para empezar (que podría haber hecho con un poco de pan idealmente). Seguido de la lingüina de marisco que tenía gambas , almejas y mejillones, deliciosa, enorme porción demasiado, pero sin quejarse 😊 . Tenía una botella encantadora de rosa espumosa para acompañar. Lo volvería a visitar aquí de nuevo si volviera a Brighton. El ambiente era bueno, muy ocupado. Un par de cumpleaños para que el personal del restaurante cante. Encantador lugar.

Good italian kitchen,Staff friendly,good job

We have been here many times because it has been so good. This time a Tuesday and quite disappointed!

We have lived in Brighton for a while but this is the first time we went to Casa Lingo. What a gem in Preston Street. Such a shame we only tried now. Totally recommend, excellent food and best Tiramisu I have tried outside of Italy! Will surely come back!

Gutted… visited previously with friends and was very much looking forward to bringing my partner. After being moved table, we were then forgotten about. While others came in and got their food quickly, we were left waiting. When the food did arrive it was delicious however our starter never showed up? We questioned this and were given it with our main at no cost which was a nice gesture. After then asking our waiter for the bill we waited twice as long while he chatted with everyone and ignored us… so we got up to pay at the till. The owner seemed very upset that we had a poor experience and was very kind however the staff and service needs improvement.

Amazing food and very friendly staff.

The food was delicious and the person was very kind. I went with my kids, the portion was sufficient, the pasta was cooked well and the seasoning was delicious. The staff in the store were so friendly that I ate there even more happily.

A lovely little Italian restaurant. The food was incredible, cooked fresh to order yet still arrived in good time. The prices are very reasonable too. The staff were great, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back the next time the family go to Brighton.

Une très bonne cuisine, un service à la hauteur avec des serveurs gentils et attentionnés Mention spéciale aux desserts fait maison Mérite vraiment un détour !

Unbelievably good food, great staff, would highly recommend. I look forward to eating here again!

Wasn't planning on going to Casalingo, place I was planning on going to was closing. What a happy surprise! Great night, food delicious and service fantastic. All very authentic, I could have been in Italy. Thanks to everyone. Will go back :)

The welcome was perfunctory - service was somewhat slow but the waiter was friendly. Between the three of us we tried Saltimbocca, sea bass en papiette and the seafood pasta. Sea bass was very good, pasta average and saltimbocca good. Wine was reasonably priced. Overall a slightly better than average experience. Three main courses one bottle of verdicchio and we were £96 in. More expensive than it should be for an average meal for three on a weeknight.

The food was boring, unfortunately they had run out of Parmesan cheese the night we visited... The waiters seemed tired and indifferent... when the bill came there was a 10% service charge added... a charge that was clearly difficult to explain. A big mistake to visit this restaurant.

Good food and portions. Friendly service. Recommend

This is by far one of the best Italian restaurants my girlfriend and I have ever visited. It has an amazing atmosphere and even better food which i will go into now. Atmosphere - The atmosphere of this restaurant is absolutely perfect for those who are looking for a quiet little meal or a celebration of a graduation (that is what we went for). Its quite small but that only adds to the charm. There are lots of fairy lights strung up across the archways and windows which make it look even prettier if you are visiting at night. Staff - The staff are extremely friendly and very professional and deliver an incredible service that is rare to find nowadays. In addition to this, they will offer recommendations and even alterations to pre existing dishes that other customers have suggested to them, which allows for unique creations to be passed down and not forgotten. For example, one of the waiters recommended that I try the Gnocchi (which originally has a creamy spinach sauce) with added tomatoes and it absolutely did not disappoint. This kind waiter also recommended places for us to go in Italy for the best cuisine, one of which being Naples which we have recently booked as a result of his suggestion. All in all, the staff cannot be faulted and are 10/10 in our books. Food - The food is downright stunning. It is some of the best pasta we have ever had in our entire lives rivalled only by that of the authentic stuff made in Italy. My Girlfriend and I have both had the Carbonara on seperate occasions which was second to none, it was simply perfect in every way. I had the Gnocchi on my first visit and that was also the first time I had it at all. It was a great introduction to the dish and I would absolutely order it again. My Girlfriend had the Cannelloni di Magro which both of us agreed was incredible. We also had the cheesy garlic bread to start and it was some of the best garlic bread we had ever had. Overall I simply cannot recommend this place enough if i could give it a 6/5 I would.

One of the best Italian restaurants in town. Great food great service especially our singing waiter who was fantastic. Recommended

Real authentic pasta with very friendly staff.

We planned an early dinner before going on to a Cabaret Show. As always, Angelo and all of his wonderful staff were very friendly and attentive to us. We had Bread and Olives and Water on our table just as soon as we arrived and we were seated by the Window. I then had my favourite starter Tricolore, plus Gamberoni al piccante as a Main served together with Sautéed Potatoes. My husband had his favourite Main, Spaghetti alla Bolognese. He had a Large Glass of Pinot Grigio, and I had a Large Glass of Chianti. Eccellente👌

Best cheese sauce I have ever tasted, also catered for my daughter off the set menu. Lovely place to eat !

Found this restaurant by chance while walkin around on a very windy Saturday evening. Food is absolutely amazing, typical authentic genuine italian food. Staff offered excellent service. Had one of the best meals and nights ever. Highly recommend this restaurant.

My favourite Italian place in Brighton. Feels like your Nonna's house with excellent food to die for.

Had a delicious meal tonight at Casalingo! I ordered Linguine Pescatora and Tiramisù and loved every bit of it. I'm Italian and I highly recommend it :)

Fantastic place. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommend.

Whilst visiting Brighton we came across this 5 star restaurant, excellent service and value for money. Staff very welcoming, will definitely return.

Don't normally do Italian but had pasta with sausage Probably the best pasta I have ever had I will be returning. not a bad price the wine seemed expensive need a starting bottle from £17

We went for dinner last night and everything was 10/10. The food was so yummy, I had the figs to start and crab pasta (best pasta ever). The service absolutely made it. Thankyou to this lovely business.

Risotto primavera (with authentic Arborio rice) and a large glass of Chianti were well appreciated!

This is the best Italian restaurant in Brighton. All the food was amazing and the staff were friendly.

Delicious, Italian, large portions! Great

Excellent place, very good food and atmosphere. Friendly staff too. Recommended.

Absolutely fantastic! Amazing service, delicious food and great value for money. Really impressed with my experience there, Bday celebration 10 guess and everyone was delighted with how amazing it was! Bravissimo!!

Absolutely 100% can recommend this place. Great food and prices. Atmosphere was just incredible, the staff are very friendly. Marco stole my heart as he is fully dedicated to his job and me and my friend left the place already missing it....so we will be back 😁 PERFECTO 👌

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.

Amazing food and fantastic service and atmosphere. The mussels in wine and garlic sauce were amazing. Would recommend 10/10!

I would come back to Brighton just to come here. We had bolognese was so tasty. I had the chicken honestly best food ever. Lovely people definitely coming back next time we visit

Nice Italian restaurant on Preston St in Brighton. On the pricier end for Italian food however, everything tasted good and was enjoyable. Would have liked more variety of seafood in the linguine but overall a nice experience. Would recommend booking as it can get quite full up during busy times.

Great food, great prices, and really good portions! Loved it here. The osso bucco was fantastic.

Great service and amazing food! We will be back!

I visited Casalingo restaurant once and it became my favorite place in town. Amazing Atmosphere, fantastic food, great service and kind people whose are always happy to help, offer you delicious , every day fresh food what is really important. I strongly recommend that place to visit

Great service, great food (we had the mussels, lasagne and the gnocchi) and the best espresso martini I’ve had in years! Definitely recommend

Very friendly staff, lovely place and the food is superb specially the pesto!

Lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food is amazing and the wine list has fantastic choice for all budgets. The price of the food is very reasonable for the quality. Will definitely be returning.

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 :))

A wonderful restaurant with amazing food and service 5*

Wow - the pasta dishes were so generous and absolutely DELICIOUS. The staff were also amazing and so attentive. Will definitely come back when in Brighton.

Have been eating here since it opened. Only manage a few times a year due to distance. Great steaks, chicken. Recommended.

Lovely food. Excellent service.

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.

Visiting from Sheffield we searched for best Italian in Sheffield and were not disappointed. Food was as good as any Italian we have encountered and the service and friendliness of the host and assistant was lovely. We will be back next time.

Best venue for food in Brighton. Excellent starters, dinner and desserts. Great service Would highly recommend

Great italian restaurant. The menu isn’t huge but the quality of food is really excellent. Cosy and atmospheric. Service very good. I can see why they have many regulars. Book to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic food, very friendly staff, very good atmosphere. And the desserts omg. And not expensive. Totally going back if I come to Brighton again 😀

الاكل ايطالي فاخر الجلسات حميميه وجميله الخدمه رائعه طلبت فلفل حار واحضرو لي جميع انواع الفلفل المتوفره لديهم كذلك احضرو لي قائمة منيو الحلى رغم انه لم يتبقى سوا دقائق على اغلاق المحل رائعين كل الشكر لهم 🙏🙏💗💗 😍🇮🇹🇮🇹

Had an amazing time here tonight. I was a bit nervous about coming in on my own as my friend dropped out at the last minute and I really wanted to dine here for a long time, but the friendly, attentive server and manager assuaged my fears. To start, I had the Cozze Marinara and cheesy garlic bread, which was delicious, followed by the Linguine Pescatore, and topped off with the best Tiramisu I’ve had in my life. I had this with the house white wine which complemented the dishes well, and the manager even gave me a free large brandy on the house, which was a lovely gesture. Next time, I will definitely bring somebody else along as it’s the closest taste to Italy I’ve had since living in Brighton, and wish to spread the word. Highly recommend!

Really tasty food, generous portion size. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

I booked a table for 6 people on a recommendation and the restaurant did not disappoint. The service was efficient and friendly (not at all rude as mentioned by a recent reviewer) The food, oh my gosh, was delicious … Baked figs with goats cheese, mmmm and bruschetta - the best I’ve ever tasted. My main of rabbit (on the bone) with polenta chips was a very large portion and equally as good as the starters. Would definitely return.

Food was amazing, restaurant was full and we were served every dish promptly starter to desert. One of the best Italians we’ve eaten in Sussex in quite a while.

This is the best Italian restaurant we have every visited in the UK, great food, great, service, friendly & very professional service overall an excellent dining experience. Thanks for a great evening out.

There are so.e vegetarian options but they're not worth exploring

Just love this family run restaurant true Italian food at its best. Staff have got to be some of the best in Brighton.

Researched before so I would hopefully not be dissatisfied. I was pleased by the service and quality of food (i had 3 courses and each one was full of flavour). Would definitely recommend

Tuna steak and potatoes were great. I expected more from the tiramisu though. Friendly and helpful staff.

Staff are very kind to turn up the aircon for us without asking Food is delicious and interior decor is cozy with some Italian songs makes me relax

Such lovely positive energy from the staff - really attentive, accommodating and upbeat. The food…unreal. Definitely a place to visit 🍝. A bit pricy but so worth it!

We went here for our 27th wedding anniversary and really glad we did Fantastic food, amazing staff ,definitely going back Would recommend in a heart beat

Highly recommended Italian restaurant just off the seafront in Brighton. Very tasty food, large portions, service is great and very welcoming staff. House white wine half litre at 15 pounds not bad either. I was recommended this place by a friend and it lived up to expectations.

Posto troppo caro per la qualità che offre, ma la cosa peggiore sta nel fatto che, quando ordini l'acqua, ti portano un bicchiere invece di una bottiglia.

Najlepsza włoska restauracja nie tylko w Brighton, ale chyba w całej Anglii! Przemiła włoska obsługa,niesamowite jedzenie,piękna muzyka. Klimat Włoch czuć już po wejściu. Jedzenie pachnie i smakuje wspaniale! Polecam z całego serca!

Authentic Italian restaurant with a menu to match. Friendly professional staff who clearly enjoy giving a great service with a smile. This was our second visit and it was just as enjoyable as our first. Very tasty food well presented and truly Italian. Good value and very good meal out.

Delicious honest Italian food. I had a ‘simple’ carbonara, but it was perfect. Great seasoning. Friendly staff. Very nice restaurant!

simply the best. Food is fabulous, service is amazing and a lovely cozy, friendly atmosphere

Ein schönes Restaurant mit sehr feinem Essen und richtig schöner Stimmung. Die Bedienung sehr nett und zuvorkommend! Sehr zu empfehlen.

Vi hadde ikke booket bord, med var heldig da vertskapet gjorde plass til oss selv om det var fult for kvelden. En service innstilt gjeng som alle har røtter fra Italia gjorde det de kunne for at vi skulle trives. Maten var god og den ble servert raskt.

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!
