We ate here for the first time after reading good reviews and will add another one. A really lovely little restaurant on the seafront, nicely decorated and a nice atmosphere. Staff were attentive but unobtrusive. Food was fresh and delicious and generous in portion. We will return. Recommended.

Can never go wrong with Fatto a Mano so when the time came, they made our first anniversary one to remember. Staff were so welcoming and friendly, service exceptional even going so far as complimentary friends and our pizza being made into the shape of a heart. Food was incredible as it always is and to end the night our favourite dessert tiramisu. Thank you so much from my partner and I from the bottom of our hearts for making our 1 year anniversary so special

• Steakhouse • Brighton
Booked 10 times today
A serendipitous return to il bistro after our London to Brighton off road. We were welcomed by our gracious host and owner who remembered us from last year, even what we ate! It was an absolutely wonderful dinner, my Porchetta was the best I’ve had and must have taken hours to render to carefully, and the sardine starters made a star out of such humble ingredients. My only regret is that we didn’t have time to have pudding or taste their superb wines. Hope to see you again next year!
