Buon Appetito

I am giving this place 3 stars as was not impressed by how much old ash was on the bottom of my pizza or by the crumbling mussel shells. Saying that, it was a good deal, any pasta or pizza for £3 plus £2.50 for a cheeky glass of wine (though disappointed with the amount of wine - maybe they should have put it into a smaller glass to make it look like more! It was a nice wine). On the bonus side, as well as being good value, they have friendly staff, and I was served my pizza really quickly. While there, a number of big groups came in and so it is clearly popular locally and the pizza (apart from the underneath) was tasty. Didn't really get the 'family' feel to it, which it proclaims on the outside. Overall, would recommend, particularly for a cheap lunch but they should definitely clean their oven!

Cash only. Had a little bit of everything. My three picky kids loved it and my wife enjoyed the salads. It's close to the hotel. I would definitely return.

Amazing! I love this place :)
This has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Brighton & Hove!
The food is delicious, the service fantastic and the prices great value! what more could you ask for?.........Well how about incredibly funny and happy go lucky staff that aim to keep you smiling throughout your meal and make you feel special? well Buon Appetito offers all that and much more....

Get yourself over to this restaurant if you haven't already and enjoy what quite simply is a great family run little Italian restaurant and a place where you can celebrate those happy occasions and ensure they are remembered.

Buon Appetito!!!!

I'm italian and when my flatmate told me about this place saying it was very very good i had to try it. He was totally right! :)
I've been there twice in a month, one with a friend to teach him how to eat spaghetti properly and one on my own during my lunch break as i worked very close to Palmeira Square then.

The staff is italian.. very friendly and smiley, it was funny when a waiter found out i am from Tuscany just because i said the name of a pasta with my accent hahah

I still have a small brochure of the deal: any pasta or pizza + a drink for 3£
Loved it :)

Un saluto dalla toscana xx

We ate here for lunch at the weekend, food was really nice and good portions. Chicken caeser salad and pizza. Small restaurant but wasn't overcrowded had a bright atmosphere. Can really sense the family run element. They do a very good value deal during the week, we will definitely return!

This place is sensational. A proper, family run Italian restaurant in the heart of Hove with all the warmth and theatrics you expect from a really good eaterie. I recommend coming during the week when they have really good deals on and don't miss out on the lunchtime £3 offer where you can bag pasta or pizza at a great price. Good house wine and often a singer at the weekend. They're always thrilled to see you. That's what makes an Italian place really special.

Italian food at it's finest. Excellent and vast menu. Good wine list and the server gave excellent recommendations for a bottle of Primativo. We shared a starter of clams and mussels and for an entree we had the tortellini with prosciutto and mushrooms and the spaghetti with meatballs. Dessert looked fabulous but we were stuffed. We are on holiday from America and I've been told food in the UK doesn't measure up....but so far nothing could be further from the truth. Absolute great dining experience tonight.

Amazing Italian food! We are traveling from California and stayed in Hove/Brighton for 3 nights. During the stay, we had to go to Buon Appetito twice and I know we will dearly miss this place and the staff! The best Italian food we ever had. Everything was just right! The staff are so friendly, funny and welcoming! I would recommend this place in a heart beat!!!
