Cin Cin Hove

Walk into Cin Cin and you'll immediately feel the difference from the usual Brighton Italian chain setups. The room's got warmth without trying too hard—stripped-back décor that lets the food do the talking. You're looking at the kind of place where they take their risottos seriously, where the seafood actually tastes like it came from somewhere, and where the staff genuinely seem to know what they're recommending. It's become a proper locals' spot in Hove without losing any of its charm or getting precious about it.
