This is the second year we chose Pesca Trattoria for our work Christmas Dinner. There were twelve of us, so all the food was pre-ordered, and we had a fun evening with delicious food and attentive service. My chosen dessert, a Tiramisu, was amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Eaten and drank here many times now and always fantastic! Staff are lovely and chatty. The calamari I had was as light as a feather and the special truffle pasta is top notch too. Also, I’d say the pizza dough is the best in Hove! ?

I have only been here once, it was empty except for our table which I wish I had taken as a sign. The food was horrible, bland, gelatinous and disappointing. The portions, as others have commented, were small and considering the cost, what was served was underwhelming, disappointing and poor quality. I wouldn't go back or recommend.

Chose simply because it was a dog friendly Italian in Hove............... Basic but lovely menu, which is good as too many choices usually means inferior food. Friendly staff..dog bowl brought to table. Food was delightful, The only thing is that you need to get rid of the curtains to the front of the Restaurant, as it looks like you are closed. Missing a lot of passing trade by shutting the curtains when you are open. Whilst we were there, one couple came into the restaurant, from the street , and actually asked if you were open!!! Would definitely go again, as you Xmas festive menu looks great...........

The restaurant is a fabulous place to fine. Really well thought out with a private dining area that still keeps the ambiance of the restaurant overall, a great bar to sit at and have a cocktail before thing. The food is incredible. Home made, well cooked, traditional Italian style family service. Talking of service? It’s faultless nothing is too much trouble and it’s relaxed so you never feel rushed. The wine is really well sourced. Overall 11/10
The wait staff were lovely, but despite only a few tables taken we had a long wait for mains which were disappointing when they arrived. The pizza was bland & in a pile of semolina flour, and the Fregola was in lumps (the Ragu bolognese was good however ) . Disappointed - maybe just a bad night for the chef .

Lovely Italian restaurant in hove! All the food was delicious with the ascolana olives being a must try and the parpadelle emiliane a table favourite! Customer service was excellent and very friendly. Overall a great find and will definitely be returning very soon!

Delightful local feel with great offers and quality food. We went for the mid week £10 lunch offer which included a pasta or pizza dish and a glass of wine. The pasta was super tasty and piping hot, the staff attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is very relaxed and a bit quiet as opposed to buzzy/loud.

I went for a Sunday lunch at Pesca Trattoria in Hove with my family. The pork roast was delicious and cooked perfectly, also the crackling had an amazing crispy crunch! Would recommend for families and people wanting to fill up on good quality food ?

Little gem in Hove. The food here is amazing. We shared lots of appetisers which were all delicious (the stuffed olives are amazing!), then we shared a steak and fresh pasta between 3 of us and it was cooked beautifully! Really lovely evening! Thank you.
