Caffe Italiano - Brighton and Hove

I was disappointed with my recent experience at this restaurant. I used to come here often in the past and always found it quite good, so I decided to give it another try. We were promptly seated, greeted, and ordered our meals. We started with antipasto to share and a Peroni. However, the problems arose with our main dishes. As soon as my partner finished her starter and went to the restroom, our main dishes arrived immediately. She hadn't even returned yet. When she did come back, she was greeted with a large serving of pasta. I had ordered the tagliatelle filetto and my partner had ordered the linguine and crab special. I took a bite and the waitress was already rushing over to ask if everything was okay.

This restaurant is absolutely terrible. The service is the worst we have ever experienced. We had stopped coming here two years ago due to consistently bad service at various locations. After a two-year hiatus, we decided to give it another try, only to find that the service had somehow gotten even worse. The staff is rude and completely ignores the customers. We had a reservation for 7:30 on a Saturday night. When we arrived at 7:25, we were told to just sit and wait as they directed us to a table in the corner (without anyone escorting us to the table). Despite our attempts to get the waitress's attention, we were completely ignored for 25 minutes. In that time, two other couples entered the restaurant and one man was also ignored. It was a complete disaster.

Handy location, tables in and out. Our cappuccinos were too milky, almost no coffee in them very disappointing. Lite bites on counter looked promising but we didn't try them.

The place a very nice Just the girls are very rude and not smiling to the guests! The food are amazing Just the staff are rude !

Stopped in this little cafe for a pit stop during a day out in Brighton with my husband and son. We enjoyed a lovely fresh lemon and ginger tea, fresh coffee and very tasty authentic Italian pastries. The cabinet was full of tasty offerings. I also saw a fresh orange juice machine behind the counter. We will be back. They are also dog friendly inside.
