"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."

eating was amazing. best Italian meal that I had in years! if they want a massive dish of moderate pasta, they go to a chain if they want many delicious dishes to come! also tiramisu and pistachiosgelato were fabulous!

Really authentic Italian food, I would say the best in Brighton and Hove. No menu, the food just kept coming, starting with anti pasta. I couldn't count how many dishes they brought out. Baked stuff fennel really unusual and really good... only 5 tables so booking a must

This small restaurant is excellent. It feels just like dining in a countryside restaurant in Italy where the delicious food keeps coming. You don't have to choose from a menu, you simply enjoy whatever the chef prepares. There are a wide variety of dishes to suit everyone's tastes. Enjoy the experience, just note that there is no disabled toilet available. XXG Gilles Guichard View menu

stunning food, great for vegetarians. I loved that they didn't know what they're gonna be when it was served a set menu. the Italian white wine was so delicious and paired so well with each dish. I loved the candles in the wine bottles absolutely, it is authentic, rustic romantic. perfect for a date night! I was in italy, and ordered tiramisu many paintings I can easily say that francos have the best tiramisu. highly recommended.

"When I arrived at the restaurant and was not given a menu, I was served the daily specials from the deli. I was initially concerned that I had made a mistake in choosing this place, but my worries were unfounded. The food and service were fantastic, and my partner who was preparing for the Brighton Marathon also enjoyed the meal. This restaurant is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a try. We will definitely be returning. I have seen some negative reviews that I believe are not accurate or fair. If you are looking for a fabulous Italian meal, this is the place to go."
