Loved the food! We had a selection of foods we haven't had yet and we're pleasantly surprised by the amount of amazing flavours, textures and ingredients! The cheviche was my favourite! Lovely waitress that comes from Peru herself; owner run. Quirky & energetic energy. Loved it and definitely recommend!

Great Christmas menu, and excellent value. I had the vegan option . The portions were generous* we received 2 sides and crackers on top of our two main dishes and it fed us for a day afterwards! Delicious.

Fatto a Mano Hove

Pizzeria

Hove

About the restaurant

We started Fatto a Mano in Brighton in 2015, serving authentic and affordable Neapolitan pizza, made with fresh ingredients, in a friendly environment. For us, everything starts with our dough. Soft and pillowy, our pizza dough is made fresh every day, using only the best Italian 00 flour, salt, water and yeast. We let our dough prove for at least 24 hours – the slow proving means we’re able to use minimal quantities of yeast, so our pizzas are light and easily digestible. We use carefully selected Italian and local British ingredients from a handful of small, independent suppliers to top our pizzas. Finally, our pizzaioli cook the pizzas in our oven at about 450 degrees, for no more than 90 seconds, in true Neapolitan style.

After arriving super late due to nightmare traffic, we were seated immediately and served so fast that we will made of after-plans on time. Thank you Team Fatto!

Brighton

About the restaurant

We're proud to say that Brighton was the second ever Bill's, and whilst it's no longer a bus depot (spoiler, it used to be a bus depot), it still transports you to the good times. Oh, and it's only up the road from the seafront, so there's no excuse to miss it, even if you get lost in the Lanes.

We had to wait to be seated as we were told that our table was ready but then advised it was given to someone else and it would be a couple of minutes. That was not true and we had to enquire if the table was then ready, to which we were seated immediately. Although we were having the set Christmas menu we were also not offered a drinks menu, we had to pull this up via our phones. The server we finally had was nice, but we had to ask to do the Cluedo activity but he was attentive when serving the food. Normally it’s been really great here but the seating and no drinks menu was not the best experience.

Great lunchtime friendly service. Asked for heaters because it was a cold day. Asked for meals that were on the evening menu because we had looked up what we wanted on line before booking and the staff went out of their way to oblige us. Thanks guys
