Cibo Brighton is an Italian restaurant at 105 Western Road, between central Brighton and Hove. The relaxed dining room offers a convenient setting for an informal lunch or evening meal, with a menu built around freshly prepared Italian favourites.
Pizza and pasta are at the centre of the selection. Pizza dough is made daily, while the range of sauces and toppings allows diners to stay with familiar combinations or explore richer, more distinctive flavours across a shared table.
Fresh seafood and other Italian main courses broaden the menu beyond its pizza and pasta foundations. Vegan pizza dough, vegan choices and gluten free pasta and pizza options give groups with different dietary requirements meaningful ways to take part in the same meal.
Starters and desserts make it easy to turn a casual visit into a full meal, while the Western Road location suits both local diners and visitors moving between Brighton and Hove. The overall experience centres on approachable Italian cooking, choice and an unpretentious neighbourhood atmosphere.
Address: 105 Western Road, Brighton BN1 2AA, England
