Best Authentic Restaurants in Brighton East

We had authentic Italian food served by caring staff in a cute and cosy dining room. Very warm and friendly servers, lovely ambience and fairly priced. We thought the quality of the ingredients was high and want to return to try more of the menu.

Beautiful food, service and ambience. Perfect for a special occasion.

We had an early table at 5:45 upstairs. It’s a great room and we were sitting in the area between the kitchen and the bar which was quite narrow, but the staff were very attentive and watching always for anyone moving in that narrow section the restaurant had an amazing turnover of people. Which I would think was a testament to the good service and the good food lots of families having, a quick meal plus others who were grazing and enjoying the atmosphere. The fit out is really really wonderful. Everything was tiptop from the time we walked into the restaurant to the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was exemplary. we had oysters, fish and steak. The steak could’ve melted in my mouth like it was covered in butter, the oysters were incredible. The cheese platter was incredible. You know I have to say for a local restaurant. It’s a nine out of 10. We will be back at least 100 times thanks for looking after us Grazie.

The staff are very friendly and attentive which was great! We went on Thursday - Steak night which was really good value with chips & side salad & tasty. Delicious banana fritters & icecream for dessert but $15 was on the pricey side for a pub meal. Overall an enjoyable place to eat , but good idea to book as it gets busy .

Dining at Cucina & Co was an absolute delight from start to finish! This restaurant truly excels in delivering an authentic Italian culinary experience. The food is simply outstanding. Each dish is crafted with high quality ingredients, showcasing the rich and genuine flavours of Italy.
