“ Amazing as always!! We had the Rigatoni alla Topolino - the steak was so tender and the sauce was rich and delicious! We also shared the Capricciosa pizza which was generous with the toppings and cooked to perfection! We love sharing a pasta so we can dip the pizza crusts into the sauce! I’ve never had a bad meal here and the service is always friendly and happy to give recommendations. We came at around 6pm so it was pretty quiet but that’s how we like it. As we were leaving the tables were filling up but it’s always a lovely atmosphere. Thank you and see you next time! ”

“ Topolino is a true gem in Hove! The food was incredibly authentic – every seafood dish cooked to perfection, and the T-bone steak was just right: tender, juicy, and full of flavour. The mushroom risotto was an absolute standout – easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The staff’s warm smiles and exceptional hospitality made me feel like I’d been transported straight to Italy. Service was 100/10 – I can’t wait to return! ”

“ Tonight was my 5th visit to this Hove delight! If you are looking for fabulous food, superb service and ambient atmosphere then look no further. This place is hands down THE best Italian in Brighton and Hove. The menu is not extensive, you are not presented with pages and pages of choice, but what you do get is without a shadow of doubt excellent quality food at a beyond reasonable price. And if you manage to make it to desert, my oh my, the homemade selection is damn awesome! Honestly, don’t bother considering anywhere else - you will NOT be disappointed! ”
“ Lovely place with delicious seafood. Ordered from here last year and never forgot about the scallops. Wasn't disappointed. The scallops are a must-try! Service is perfect and very friendly. ”
“ We had a wonderful Italian dinner at Topolino. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, welcoming and has a great view of a busy street - ideal for people watching. Our server provided us with great recommendations for wine and food based on our preferences. Cocktail was delicious, and all food came out quickly and well plated. We had bruschetta, gnocchi, carbonara and the bolognese, all of which were fabulous! Generous portion size without being too much. Friendly service and fair pricing too. Easily one of our best meals whilst visiting Brighton all week. Would love to come back! Thank you for a wonderful experience and dinner! ”
