   Food delicious with plenty of Italian options. Ambience and views of sea delightful at sunset. Seating outside or indoors choice. Furniture and decorative design very nice. Warm welcome, we had booked. Tricky to find if you don't know Brighton as the entrance that is not hugely signposted is on Marine Parade as part of the Soho House Beach Club not Madeira Drive which is where the taxi dropped us just up from Sealife centre and opposite the zipwire. Not a great area for easy parking. Our guests were late as they couldn't park or find the restaurant and then whoever was on reception told them there was no booking in our surname! We had to go and find them. We had to go up to the bar to get second drinks as once initial hello and menus were given out, we were left alone, so service not as attentive as I would have liked. Food slow to be served between courses. Not sure we'll return.

   Very average food (none of which was hot) and painfully slow service. From our drinks at the start of the meal to our coffee at the end, there was not one single thing we didn't have to chase up. If the place had been packed it would have been slightly more understandable but it was extremely quiet.

   Our first visit since moving from soho house members only to a Cecconi. The restaurant is lovely with a great terrace, Service as good as before but unfortunately our lunch was disappointing. The food was warm at best, we both had Roast beef & slices were so thin almost tasteless, Cauliflower cheese was undercooked. We were so looking forward to lunch here as we have visited many times before, but not a great experience.

   Very personable and friendly server - made for a fun night. But the pork chop was overcooked, hard as nails and as such inedible (removed from bill without fuss), the steak was overcooked but still just about edible. The starters were good. Tried once, can’t return. 14.5% service charge is the highest I’ve seen in Brighton and although we loved our server, the actual service received didn’t match up to the price tag.

   Worse meal I have ever eaten in there. The rib eye steak was just fat and when I mentioned this they just said oh! Chicken was tasteless and dry and more bones than chicken!

    We received great service today along with lovely food. As a group of 6 we were here celebrating a birthday and the staff treated us so well and made sure we had a good time. The dishes were flavoursome and well portioned, we all left feeling very satisfied - highly recommend!!
