Casalingo Restaurant

To start with: the bread must have come from the cheap section of the cheapest supermarket in town, the rest of the food no much better.

The service, well......very rude waiter/ manager/ owner?

If you are new to Brighton and wont to eat out, i highly recommend that you dont try Casalingo

Well blow me down,I just can't believe what some of these dissatisfied customers have said. We came here on Monday 6 June because it was pouring with rain and only 50 yards from our hotel in Regency Square. We received friendly service from the lovely Mario and the proprietario Angelo,and thoroughly enjoyed the food we ordered. So much so that we dined there on the following three evenings . Whenever we eat out one of us seems to pick the wrong place or the wrong dish and seldom give it another chance. Also the music was authentic and at the right sort of volume level , so are we too fussy or hard to please or what ? I rest my case

I cant believe the negative response from one of these reviews, the hotel we stayed at recommended them to us and I am pleased they did, the food was not michellin star style it was honest and tasty, my partner who has spent many weeks in Italy said his carbonara was as good as in rome!! And he is very fussy. I went for the scallop dish which as promised was lovely and cheesy, seemed a lot of scallops and they werent over cooked, and the presentation was really nice in the shells, I had to try the tiramisu and it was lovely with a definite kick to it, he had the creme brulee and I think he resented me trying a spoonfull, yummy. Well done Casalingo next time we are in Brighton you'll see us again. Thanks

I am in the habit of writing or reviewing restaurants!!!

But after we dined at Casalingo and been well looked after with good food and service, my partner looked up this particular restaurant on the web on our return home. Having read the previous comment left by someone who does not leave their name ( makes me wonder on the kind of person who would do that!!!). The experience we had at Casalingo was that this is NO CHAIN Restaurant but a family run establishment, and well run too I may add. We would recomend anyone to eat here because they have a huge selection of freshly prepared dishes from every region of Italy.

We went to Casalingo yesterday evening - the place was not very busy, but we had to wait 10 minutes before they gave us a menu to look at!. The service was very slow. We ordered a two pasta dishes and a risotto - this took 30 minutes to arrive. The food was terrible. The pasta dishes were just greasy and far too much garlic. The pesto was obvioulsy just from a bottle, and had too much salt - the other pasta dish with clams - had too many clam shells and not enough clam! - no sauce - just lots of garlic and butter!. The risotto was alright, but obvioulsy had too much tomato puree in it !. The food in this place is overpriced, tastes awful, and service is slow - I would not recomend this place!.

Our Hotel concierge recommende Casalingo.

We stayed in Brighton 3 nights and out of the 3 restaurant we did try Casalingo is by far the best.

We had a very warm welcome, the food was outstanding followed by a faultless service. A most enjoyable experience.

We were staying in Brighton for a brirthday celebration weekend, and were recommended Casalingos by our hotel concierge - 10 of us ( including 4 children ) had a great evening there - food, wine & service was great, and there was a fantastic atmosphere - we'd all recommend it to anyone !

My boyfriend and I have eaten in Casalingos a few times and have really enjoyed it, however we went in this evening for dessert and a bottle of wine at around 9.45 when the restaurant was not busy ( about two thirds full) and still serving. We were shown to a table and when we asked for a dessert menu and the man behind the bar shouted "no, no, no" gesturing us out the door offering no explanation or apology! The waiter apologised but the man behind the bar was extremely rude! I don't think we'll be going back for valentines day, it's such a shame!

We thought this restaurant would be good as the concierge at the hotel recomrnded. We couldn't have been more disappointed, waiter not attentive, dreadful attitude from manager. Not a GOOD restaurant.
