Restaurant · Brighton
Tucked into the Lanes near the town hall, this is a cosy Italian that works well with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, and pavement tables that are lovely on a sunny day, though staff can be slow to spot you when you're sitting outside. The team is warm and patient, good at talking families through allergies and pointing out what's vegan, and the vegan lentil ragu comes in a proper generous portion rather than a token one. The veggie pizza and chicken wings get a lot of love too. Worth knowing: it's central Brighton and gets crowded at peak times, so book if you're coming with a pram at the weekend. Starters can be small for the price, and mains are where the value sits — one parent described the atmosphere as simply "lovely and cosy".
