Cin Cin Fitzrovia

The Best Restaurants in Brighton and Hove

"Cin Cin is home to high-end Italian dishes that put Pappa Dolmio to shame. It’s also home to a warm date-ready wraparound bar and signature arancino that comes with a side of lip-smacking garlic emulsion and, inevitably, delighted expletives. This tennis-ball sized medley of rice, tomato, and rotating fillings like slow-cooked pork ragu or crab is a hero of the BN3 Hove postcode and the perfect way to start a meal in Cin Cin’s private garden. It’s all very idyllic San Gimignano by way of Western Road. Be aware that prices can stack up quickly here, but stick to any dish involving the words ‘ragu’, ‘artisan’, or—ding ding ding—‘saffron gnocchi’ and the spend will be entirely justified." - heidi lauth beasley
