"After being around for 10 years, Franco's Osteria in Hove is proud to be classified as just that - an Osteria, not an Italian Restaurant. The dishes are prepared with a strict focus on the weekly menu, with no room for customizations like soft pasta or pizza. This traditional approach is reminiscent of a meal cooked by a grandmother in her own home. Franco and his team offer a unique dining experience that can't be found anywhere else in Brighton, showcasing authentic Italian cuisine rather than an imitation found in most establishments. Diners can enjoy true northern Italian dishes cooked to order, such as meats and cheeses, bone risotto, tomato-free cod, and various other specialties. The reviewer advises guests to embrace the dishes as they are served without requesting alterations to suit personal preferences. Overall, they highly recommend Franco's Osteria for its genuine and delicious approach to Italian dining."
