Had an unreal lunch at Mamma Mi this afternoon. Service was excellent and the food is amazing. Such a lovely local gem in the heart of Hove, 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing from start to finish! Loved it highly recommend when you in sunny Hove. Looking forward to come back again to Mamma Mi

Lovely restaurant with amazing food and atmosphere. Ordered a pizza with vegan cheese and was so surprised by how good the cheese was that I had to double check with the chef that there hadnt been a mistake. Have been back several times since for the same order it was so good. Would highly recommend.

Very friendly waitress with a big smile.And the Vesuvio pizza was so yummy cook from a authentic Italian chef . It was saturdy lunch and the restaurant was pretty busy inside and out, but i didn't wait long before my pizza arrived.

This is a gem food great from starter to main course, has the best coffee out.its a must us once or twice a week great buzz .can't say enough about this place tops for me and my wife.

This is a friendly, great value trattoria where the food is always excellent. I have recommended it to all my friends. Shame that they are only open for lunch.

An absolutely lovely dining experience! My friend and I were made to feel welcome by the lovely Giuseppe from the moment we walked in. The food was affordable, came out quickly and was absolutely delicious, having a real home cooked feel to it. My friend and I enjoyed every second, and the friendly and welcoming atmosphere was the icing on the cake! We will definitely be back soon!

Such a fantastic experience. Wine was amazing, flavour of the sauce on my chicken was outta this world. Owners and waitress made me feel so welcome ill be going back next week :) absolutely phenomenal. I needed to find a good italian in brighton and hove and i think i found it :)

Lovely lunch with hubby - delicious food - lemon chicken & lasagne - definitely returning very soon - excellent staff - they deserve their 5 stars - don’t change anything as it was perfect. Aly & Guy x

Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch today, this was extra meaningful as it was my husbands first time out ,after an accident. Wonderful staff, and fabulous food and wine. A special shout out to the chef for the special king prawn and lobster tagliatelle, Yum! Carol and David xx

Probably the best Italian for miles. The atmosphere is fantastic, the music is great, the "Specials" are to die for and Giuseppe makes your welcome always warm. The food is fantastic and the chef will adapt most recipes to most tastes. If I could, I would eat lunch here all the time.

Such a beautiful place, the food is like you eat at home. Very tasteful and of an excellent quality. The staff is very nice and helpful. We liked it so much that we went two days in a row😁. Amazing food from the south of Italy with excellent service. Highly recommended.

Have been here a few times now and they are so friendly and welcoming. I went today for a birthday lunch with my twin sister, the food was great and the staff sang happy birthday to us and gave us ice cream with a candle in it! They really made our day!

We discovered this place recently on friends’ recommendation and have returned regularly. The lovely food and unfailingly warm welcome keeps bringing us back. This is such a nice and cosy local place that you often end up chatting to fellow diners. The main menu offers plenty of good dishes which are supplemented by daily specials to vary the mix. I urge you to try this place for a delightful experience.

I go quite often and wanted to write a review. They’re so good and the food is delicious. I recently had the most stunning Melanzane Parmigiana which is a real treat for vegetarians as so delicious. They also make a particular good Tiramisu! Their pizzas are excellent and all of chefs specials are wonderful.

Delicious food, amazing place and service! Very friendly staff, you feel very welcome there. When people come to Brighton and Hove, they have to visit this restaurant.

Been here many times and so happy with the reception I receive when I go in Owner is hands on as well getting introduced to his new baby Food is fantastic and delicious wonderful time I spend in the place it's now like a second home to me as everyone knows each other and every one gets the same royal treatment So thank you all so much for making my day

LIAR! ! Add 10 % service charge on my bill by the owner’s hand write!!!! Strongly suggest you avoid if u’re not Italian. The owner add 10% service charges on my bill by “HAND WRITE “ . My friend and was really shocked as I live in Brighton over 6 yrs that never happen on me before. The menu DIDN’T SHOW they have service charge, so they just ADD 10% service charge it randomly by themselves!! I asked the owner to clarify the bill and he said “ they charged every table 10% compulsory service. BUT I found out they are Lying to my face! Food, service, environment can’t make it up for You guy’s DISGRACEFUL Behaviour !! you were stole money from young poor girl ‘s pocket!! SHAME on You!

Best cheesy garlic bread and truffle pizza in town. The owners kept the restaurant open late for our booking especially. Outstanding service, great setting and lemon cello shots to finish off.

Absolutely amazing this traditional Italian cafe/restaurant serves the best food ever great food , great service super owners we have had both lunch and dinner here with a good selection of drinks including wine,beer and Kimbo coffee highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic, vibrant enjoyable vibe, warm and toasty, lovely outside space (can’t wait to visit in summer) the host Giuseppe was delightful and the food… well I felt like I was in Italy divine, a must visit if in the area, I’ll be heading back early next year.

This Italian restaurant is a little gem nestled in a busy pedestrian shopping street It is atmospheric, clean and the food is very well presented. The staff are attentive and very welcoming I highly recommend this restaurant for a light lunch and it’s relaxed ambiance

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was great. Very friendly owner & staff. We will definitely return.

The food was wonderful and the atmosphere inside was even better - I would highly recommend and I intend to return very soon!

A really cute restaurant in the presinct of George Street. More of a cafe at the front but a restaurant feel at the back with a good vibe. Just the right music to create a pleasant atmosphere. We had a fresh pizza and a seafood linguine. Both really good. With a glass of wine to make things perfect.

Food was fresh and tasted amazing. Service was on point, Giuseppe made us feel at home and took the time to have a chat with us. Felt like i was in Italy, Cant wait to go back.

We’ve eaten a LOT of vongoles over the years and this seafood special was just head and shoulders above anything we’ve ever tasted. Staff and service match the cuisine. I think we’ve found a regular haunt. Thank you so much 😊

First time in Mamma Mia, we loved it. Great brunch and coffee. Will definitely be back to try some of the amazing looking lunch and specials on the menu.

First time I went there , couple of days ago, with a colleague of mine, by chance. We were hungry and there was a certain, yet indistinctive charm oozing from the cozy trattoria with the white, green and red tables.. It reminded me home.. So...
