Galileo in Brighton and Hove

Very enjoyable as always. Good traditional Italian fayre. Tasty , hot and cooked to perfection. Reasonably priced too.

Lovely place run by lovely people

Nice food , not rushed and attentive waitress and would go again .

Very good indeed. Recommend this to my friends.

Was a bit sozzled I'm afraid. Best to get pissed before at home 🤣

Absolutely fantastic restaurant, will be back again sooner rather than later.

After a London To Brighton off road cycle and found this lovely place food and staff awesome. Will definitely be passing by again 👍

I was having dinner with my friends, when i saw and overheard the owner shouting at his staff. He was Awful. Saying things like, you’re useless, and you’re no use to me. They looked very young, about 17-19 years old. It make me and my friends have a very uncomfortable dinner the rest of the night. Don’t recommend.

Food was delicious, service was great and Moji made us very welcome.

My family and I absolutely love this restaurant. Its family owned and the staff and owners are always so lovely here, always looking after their customers. We always go for the polo Galileo and a different pizza every time as we are trying to get through and taste all of the amazing option! Also, I never miss ordering the lemon sorbet as a dessert!

We booked a family night out for our son's birthday based on location and the previous good reviews. It was a wonderful evening. Great service from everyone at Galileo and the food was wonderful. A little birthday surprise was also given to our son which topped off the evening perfectly. Thank you so much. We will be back!

I can’t express my love for this restaurant!!! We go often with our family and it’s a family business we love supporting because their service is always perfect, such friendly staff and the food is of top notch quality - I usually go for the steak and it has plenty of options for sauces so I try a different one each time and each time or pasta Galileo which I request with tagliatelle and it’s AMAZING 100% recommend for anyone, romantic setting and beautiful cozy area Can’t wait to go back

Food was delicious and hosts were very warm and welcoming!

One of Brighton's hidden gems. Such a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The food is delicious and the staff are so friendly, especially the owner. I always leave here full md happy. Can't recommend highly enough

Such a lovely little restaurant. I've been here many times and always leave feeling full and well looked after. The food is always delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. Will be back again soon for sure.

Great atmosphere and great food served by friendly staff. Was not disappointed, thanks!

Great place to eat, staff are friendy and the foos was amazing. Worth the money spent, would definitely go again

I loved my recent visit to Galileo. A local run family restaurant with a great atmosphere and delicious food. I ordered ‘tagliatelle marinara’ and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend.

I absolutely adore this family-run Italian restaurant in Hove! The staff's friendliness is unparalleled, making every visit feel like coming home. Over the years, the owner Moji has consistently made me feel welcomed and looked after, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The delicious, authentic Italian cuisine is always a treat, and the excellent service adds an extra touch of joy to the dining experience. This place has become a cherished tradition for my family, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a heartwarming and delightful meal.

Ordered the mushroom risotto - well-priced, rich and creamy - super delicious! Service was great and staff was excellent! Would highly reccommend!

Fantastic restaurant food was amazing and staff were very friendly and welcoming would highly recommend

Love this restaurant, it’s family run and the owners and staff are really friendly. Good choices on the menu and particularly like the chicken dishes and pizza. Would recommend!

Very friendly staff and excellent service. Felt attended to and the food was delicious! Great atmosphere and they had a large variety of options on the menu!

We can walk here so good for certain occasions. Always good friendly service. Always a few jokes too - including all members of the group. Always enjoy the food

Went there last weekend with my family. First time in a long while. Booked up beforehand which is advisable. We all had a starter and main with a bottle of wine. All courses were delicious. I had the bruchetta which was huge! Fortunately we shared it. My main was the seafood pasta. The mussels were delicious and the shrimps tasty however in shell and small. I would still have it again but would prefer to see larger. The wine was very easy to drink. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Nice homely atmosphere...and I wont leave it too long before a return! Overall good value.

Booked a table at short notice Received a great welcome Food was a good standard we would definitely return

We love this local Italian restaurant. It has an extensive menu and everything is tasty. The owner is a legend and the service is always great. Very kid friendly too.

This place it’s a substandard ‘Italian’ restaurant that would have hardly been okay in 1978’s Britain. I am Italian and as much as I am often disappointed by Italian food in England very few places are as ‘meh’ as this. It’s true that it has loyal customers, most of whom are elderly and local, and that’s fine. But seeing this restaurant pushed at numbers one of restaurants in Brighton it’s simply absurd. Imagine being a visitor and going out of your way to try this place and ending up with this below average fare? You would need a strong sense of humour for this experience not ruining your night out!

There was a detour in Brighton on the road and passed a small parade of shops saw the Italian restaurant not very big on outside but so pleased we stopped . Staff are very attentive and knowledgeable about menu .They have the usual pizza, pastas but have a special board for there fish inside . My husband had the Salmon with prawns topped with asparagus there is also a side dish with veg .I had the waldorf salad ( walnuts grapes celery and apple in a mayonnaise dressing ) best i have ever had so lovely and fresh .Wish I lived nearer as I think it could be a favourite. They do take away as well .If you are in the area I really recommend you give them a try .

Very friendly, lovely atmosphere. 8 of us family members. We all had starters, mains, desserts & drinks. The specials were lovely especially the calf liver & salmon . Very enjoyable & reasonable price.

Great place great food great service 👌

So, I never write a bad review but I am absolutely shocked by our experience. Initially not being given menus or cutlery. We ordered two steaks one well done the other medium rare. The medium rare wasn’t medium rare( more well done) when raising this, we were told we were wrong. The restaurant refused to replace the steak. My husband went without a meal whilst we finished up ours!!! When we requested the bill they’d overcharged us considerably on the food we had eaten. They said it was a mistake. I can honestly say I’ve never had such a terrible experience. I’m all for supporting local businesses, but this was terrible.

Lovely food though the 'specials' can seem quite pricey. Very busy at weekends and I feel the tables are crammed a little too close together, but it's better in the week when not quite so busy.

I’m really not one to write a bad review. I have came here before and the service was very poor. Food coming out at different time and service was very slow! But gave them the benefit of the doubt and came again. This time, I ordered the same (steak medium rare) steak came and certainly wasn’t medium rare, sent back and then they said I was wrong!! I was in shock and he then said he wasn’t changing it! So sat with out a meal while my family eat there’s as I wanted them to eat! Absolutely shocked and will never be going back!! Also the steak was really thin, would never recommend

A small and intimate Italian restaurant with great delivery service (especially pizza). If you haven't booked they can usually fit you in and service is close and sometimes quirky, making it a personal experience. Mr Moji is a great character and this little gem is popular with the locals living in Hoves millionaire belt. If you don't go out at night, visit their coffee bar next door.......real cappuccino plus all the rest made fresh in the traditional way. Try it and see what you think or just hang out on the pavement drinking coffee and soaking up the afternoon sun

Great range of food on the menu , with daily specials. Staff ultra friendly and helpful and on the button with timing. Easy free parking outside. We regularly dine here , and the last time there were 20 of us , plus young children for a Birthday celebration. Seats about 36 max inside. Great place to eat , never been let down , fully recommend.

WHat a cracking meal that was. Six of us, including two children, going to a restaurant which wasn't meant to be open, but was for a special occasion (a birthday) at another table. It was a very warm welcome from the owner and his staff, some great food (the roast lamb and trimmings were perfect) and the service was nicely paced and extremely friendly. A perfect Sunday lunch - well worth the expenditure; thank you.

We have been coming to Galileo on and off for around 3 years now. We have our favourites on the menu but have tried a variety of items over time and never had a bad meal. Owner and staff are always wonderfully friendly, atmosphere is welcoming and overall it's a great experience. I wouldn't say it's the cheapest place to eat but we are happy to keep returning. One thing I would add is that a previous reviewer wrote that they serve frozen microwaved food and we have not once thought this to be the case, and the comment seemed borne out of malice for some reason. Personally, if you are going out for a good Italian meal, my wife and I recommend Galileo.

Another lovely evening at the Galileo. Very friendly, attentive profession staff, delicious food very highly recommended. Many thanks.

It’s one of my fav local restaurants, walking distance from my place and a nice cosy vibe with accommodating staff. It’s a little hidden gem. Should visit for an amazing fresh food.

Grabbed lunch here as it's round the corner from me and wasn't disappointed - the stuffed pepper was great and the arincini mouth-watering. Also a little tip - they'll do private dinners in the evening, as the very friendly gentleman that served me informed me! Deserved reputation.

Intimate, unique eating venue inside the cosy Coppa club Igloo. Comfortable for 8 people and warm with the heaters. Nice, reasonably priced food - we can recommend the burger and the steak! Good drink! But most of all, excellent service with our waiter - Harry - not being able to do enough for us! Even getting us more delicious chilli mayo! Thank you Harry for looking after me and my family so well.

Service is great, proper family business, they make you feel very welcome. I'd prefer a 12 inch pizza as they do 10 inch which feels a bit small, but they are very tasty. Overall definitely recommend

We have lived local to this restaurant for over 30 years, but for some reason we have never visited before now. We had a great evening, the food was fantastic, not sure how anyone can say it is frozen microwaved food! I had a chicken dish that came with potatoes and veg and my wife had a pizza and a salad, we did not have starters or pudding, to be honest we were too full for either. There were olives, nachos and bread sticks on the table when we arrived, at no extra charge, unlike a lot of other restaurants now. The staff all went above and beyond with friendly service and chat. We will definitely be returning and will take friends with us next time.

Was very tasty, bacon a over done for my liking, sausages were definitely not the Cumberlands from the menu but all in all very tasty but really expensive. 2 x breakfasts, a mocha and a warm orange juice =£36+

Great food and very friendly staff and owner. We shall certainly be coming back.

The staff here are extremely welcoming and tailored to my needs as I am disabled. I am so thankful as I had such a wonderful birthday experience and all the staff stopped what they were doing to sing to me. The food was incredible and we were given some drinks on the house. Moji the owner is incredibly generous and really cares about his customers!!

Fantastic service, great food and 5 star service lovely food again :)

Warm, intimate dining. Food was full of flavour and piping hot! A wonderful experience. I am only staying in this area but would definitely return if the opportunity arose.

Acogedor restaurante y comida deliciosa

Excellent service and food. Worth a visit!

As a local resident I really want this restaurant to be good. Unfortunately it’s stuck in the 90’s and serves frozen microwaved food at high prices. The cafe next door isn’t much better (average coffee, terrible decor and microwaved croissants ). It’s such a shame because it’s been open for ages and such a lovely location to walk to. I’m sorry to say that most of the local residents that are under 60 are hoping it closes down soon so something else can open there.

Lovely Italian meal with a bottle of bubbles with good friends before going to a Micheal Bublé concert. Owner even ordered a taxi for us x

The location is away from the busy part of Hove, so parking wasn't a problem at all. We had an excellent family meal - very friendly and attentive waitresses. Definitely we will return and recommend to others.

Back again and the food was wonderful as was the service. Many thanks for an excellent meal. Will be back

Excellent food and even better service by the George the owner. Well done George and the team. Keep up the excellent work. Wait time for the pizza was a little too long this time but the restaurant was full so understandable.

Lovely food at a lovely restaurant. Had the pizza :) We have visited previously also! Great atmosphere.

Wonderful food, very welcoming host. Thank you Moji and all your amazing staff. Have been going here regularly since it opened 20 years ago . Totally recommended

Lovely restaurant and the owner is so warm and welcoming. Kids loved the food too

Looks nice have not been yet but will go soon

Very friendly owner, great food, and some hidden gems in the wine cellar. Have been twice now, and will be returning

We'd heard great things and they are most certainly true. Fantastic food Ambience Nice decor Excellent service 5*+

We always love coming to Galileo, the welcome from Moji and his staff is so warm, the food always beautifully cooked and presented. Although it was Sunday Lunchtime, and the others in the party went for the roasts, I decided to have a pizza. Because...

Amazing atmosphere with wonderful food! Great selection for the entire family to choose from and the staff were very friendly. Would definately recommend this place for families or even just a couples evening out.

Nice friendly venue with great staff. Visited for a meal and found the place to be clean tidy and nice enough for an establishment. I did feel however that the portion size was a little small and the sauce within the dish slightly watery leaving it tasting a little bland..

We went to celebrate our daughter and husband wedding anniversary. The staff were super lovely, the food was exceptional, service was brilliant. We had an amazing time. It's a family run restaurant which we would highly recommend. 😀

We have visited Galileos restaurant many times, and so decided to have our 25th wedding anniversary celebration there. We took over 30 guests for a wonderful meal, many of whom had never visited before and were very impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. This...

Always a lovely meal and the staff are just wonderful !

Such a lovely authentic Italian restaurant. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious. Easy parking available too.

As someone who lives locally, I have been visiting Galileo since I was young. The service is always amazing and staff are so friendly and welcoming which is hard to come by. I last visited tonight and the manager offered to take my coat for...

Second visit here and yet again fantastic food and the lovely owner (if you are reading this Mr. owner then you will know me as Tracy with the TT). I travel about 60 miles to this restaurant as I love it. Thanks again for the...

Friendly service. Reasonable value. Chewy pizza.

Lovely little place with great food and great staff. Was our first time visiting and it definitely wont be the last!

I've been going here for at least 15 years and the food, the staff, the drinks and the atmosphere have always been consistently incredible. The pizza is easily the best pizza I've ever had. It's always a pleasure going to this restaurant and the experience is worth every penny!

Super friendly and most excellent Italian food. Very enjoyable and will be back for more.

This is a cozy little restaurant with great food, all freshly cooked, good service and a very warm welcome. It's a lovely place to spend an evening.

Amazing food and really friendly staff 😍

Warm and welcoming, delicious meal, friendly and atmospheric. Excellent service perfect evening for friends and family. 10/10 experience at Galileo Restaurant Hove.

Excellent Italian food in relaxed atmosphere

Staff were absolutely lovely and the food was amazing.

Friendly greeting...fresh cooked tasty food Only downside is tables are too low Upside is no service charge added so tips go to waiting staff

The pizzas at Galileo are consistently good. We are never disappointed. Just had another delicious pizza tonight. Great food and always great customer service. These guys work so hard and are the nicest people. Thank you for always being so kind and delivering great food...
