A unique restaurant on the sea front that looks a bit like a boat. You get a really nice view of the piers, expecially at night. The service is very good. The food is the usual kind of food you get at standard Italian restaurants.

A very friendly place to eat which is not expensive.The staff are pleasant and accomadating. The variety of menu is good and the atmosphere is of a student nature yet not to loud. Please remember to tip these guys as they work hard for little gain.

It's such a shame that this restaurant seems so indifferent given its perfect venue. I can only assume it gets a lot of passing tourist trade because I can't believe it would still be in business if it relied on locals. The food was ok at best, the service was shockingly poor and the bill was about twice as much as it should have been. Avoid.

Great views of sunset. Best outside in summer as windows are rather plasticy-looking 'I did the extension myself' kinds of thing. Food is good but overpriced. It's a bit annoying in the summer when they make you have the house menu at great cost. It sometimes means the place is only half full. The staffing of the place must be a nightmare, though - packed if the sun shines, empty when it's raining and cold.

A very nice location spoilt by rude and surly staff and very average food. A disco started downstairs 15 minutes after we arrived, we all like some music but this was so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak!!. We politely asked if it was possible to turn the volume down a little. We were told that the disco was at an acceptable volume so TOUGH if you don't like it you can leave. I would not recommned this restaurant.

Great venue, spoilt by apalling service. The staff were rude and moody, and I was embarrassed to have brought my friends and family to Alfresco. Brighton has so much more to offer!

4 of us arrived early yesterday afternoon about 4.20pm, the restaurant was empty. The apparent owner was rude and dismissive. Just because I asked for a table by the window overlooking the sea. The central tables were fully made up "for a party", the window tables weren't, but he implied there were just about to about to be made up "for the party", hardly likely given their totally empty state. Anyway his abrasive tone was enough, we left immediately and had a very nice meal across the road. I am wheelchair bound, perhaps I looked like too much trouble! Since the owner couldn't even be civil enough to keep us in his restaurant, I have marked him zero on all scores!
