Really enjoyed food and service. I had the carbonara and it knocked mine into a cocked hat! Friend has Calzone which I tried and we both loved.

Fabulous place for small parties. Hardly noticeable but it’s costly tucked away on Madeira Drive. Sundays it’s not so busy but weekday nights seemed quite busy. The prices are pretty good, pizza is available for 7.50 and a little bit more. Pasta, spaghetti and lasagne...are Available for £10.50 and above. Specialist dishes are £12 and above. Friendly Italian staff who serve you well and are very attentive. Highly recommended.More
I can see why this place is so busy. This is a small family run restaurant,the food was amazing, extremely tasty and beautifully cooked. The waiter was so nice although he could have done with some help but he did an excellent job. Definitely would...recommend.More
Thoroughly thoroughly lovely, will be dreaming about the pasta for a long time to come. Attentive service and very authentic
The food was delicious, the service was great and prices beyond reasonable. Great that it’s family run too. Recommend booking - especially for Saturdays as we saw at least 10 tables being turned away as the restaurant was fully booked.
Alex served us our perfectly cooked & presented pasta meals with a huge smile. Been ere before & still to be honest the best italian restaurant in brighton. Atmosphere so relaxing/food music & service excellent. Highly recommend
This place deserves all the praise it can get. The most gorgeous, wood interior - making you feel like you’re in Italy. It’s a warm atmosphere, with the staff being so attentive. The food was on a different level. Totally authentic, with fresher than fresh...ingredients (as told by our lovely waiter) - I went for the Sardinian sausage pasta dish with fennel which was divine. Seriously give this place a go - you won’t regret it.More
Although we hadn’t booked a table, the team were really welcoming and made us feel very much at home. We chose from the specials board and the food was excellent, just what you would expect from a great Italian restaurant
Came to Brighton looking for Authentic Italian food, and we were not disappointed one bit, this place deserves the title as #1 food in Brighton, everywhere from service to spirits and wines, to their delicious food was 10/10 hands down! All I have to say...is make a reservation, although they will get you in and service you with the same expectations, you will not be disappointed with La Capaninna ! 12/10 for sure!More
We came to La Capannina on our visit to Brighton. Fortunately we had pre-booked as it was extremely busy; easy to see why as it is such a fabulous place. Lovely ambience, warm welcome, great service, fabulous food. For starters one of us had smoked...salmon and smoked swordfish, the other had baby squid peperoncino, for mains we both had fillet steak gorgonzola with nuts accompanied by a great selection of vegetables. The steak could have been cut with a fork! Amazing food, beautifully presented, hot, tasty and in very generous quantities. Far too full to manage a dessert! With a bottle of excellent Montepulciano - £93...great value for a fabulous evening! What a shame that we live 160 miles away!More
Visited here at the weekend. The food was absolutely beautiful. We had a starter of scallops in cheese sauce, and my main was a seafood pasta. The service was friendly, attentive and with genuine Italian staff/owner, and such good value. I was so pleasantly surprised...at the bill. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Brighton. 5 stars! Grazie mille!More
La Capannina is a lovely, old school family run Italian restaurant. The menu offers a multitude of choice, we plumped for a couple of simple pasta dishes, and the service is attentive but not intrusive. The pasta dishes that we were served, one vegetarian and...one meaty, were generous and exploding with flavour. We also had a side of garlic bread and I have to say that it was simply lovely. We followed the mains with a homemade tiramisu, light and lush, and a slice of apple and cinnamon pie that was the best pudding that I have eaten in a while. All in all this was a wonderful meal and we will definitely be going back.More
Dining with a friend I ordered pasta with lobster - the food was delicious but took over an hour to arrive! In the meantime several tables of subsequent customers were served long before us.
Me and my pal dined there 16 August. Been there a lot over the years. It is OK. He ordered lobster. I ordered pumpkin filled tortelloni. The lobster had to defrost for an hour We were left alone - not spoken to simply ignored. No...apology for the delay. No bread sticks/olives/no nothing to fill the dead hours. When it arrived my tortelloni had been cooked I guess for the regulation 3 minutes but clearly then abandoned to dry out under a 'heat' light for an hour and had dried to mush inside and the edges were rubberised. I was ashamed for them. To hide the mess they added a butter or something sauce which slid off, then, as it looked a mess buried it alive under rocket leaves. And I mean buried not and inch of pasta visible. A disgrace. I only ate itbecause I was famished. My pal said his lobster was OK. NO I DO NOT WANT A VOUCHER OR ANYTHING. Not going there again.More
Really fancied a pizza and we luckily found this restaurant. Made very welcome by the lovely staff. Both had a pizza (vegetarian and a chicken/sweet corn/ pineapple) which were both delicious! Didn’t have room for a pudding so we had a Irish coffee which was...also delicious. A lovely little nicely decorated restaurant which I would recommend.More
