Coppa Club Brighton

Brighton Square's got that particular kind of charm—all Regency terraces and tree-lined quiet—and Coppa Club slots in like it's always belonged here. You're looking at proper Mediterranean food done without the pretension: fresh pasta that tastes like someone cared, seafood that doesn't feel like it's been flown in three days ago, the sort of place where regulars have their table and the staff know what you're drinking before you ask. It's warm inside but not cramped, buzzy without being loud, the kind of restaurant where you can actually have a conversation.
