Jo & Co Restaurant

Walk into Jo & Co on a Friday night and you'll get what Hove's been missing: Italian food that actually tastes like someone knows what they're doing. The room's warm and unpretentious—exposed brick, soft lighting, the kind of place where regulars genuinely know the staff by name. You're eating pasta that's been made with proper technique, not shortcuts, and mains that feel considered rather than rushed. It's the sort of restaurant you'd stumble upon in a side street somewhere and think you'd found something special—except you didn't have to stumble far.
