Prezzo Italian Restaurant Brighton Marina

You're sat right on The Waterfront at Brighton Marina, watching the boats and the sea while twirling your fork through pappardelle. It's the kind of place that works brilliantly when you've got mates visiting and want somewhere that'll absolutely won't disappoint, even if it's not going to blow your mind. Prezzo does the classics competently—wood-fired pizzas, proper Italian mains, that sort of thing—and the Marina location means you've got decent views to justify lingering over a drink. Fair prices for what you're getting, solid wine list, and the kind of service that's attentive without being intrusive.
