Franco Manca Hove

Franco Manca Hove brings the warmth of Italian dining to Brighton, with sourdough pizza at its heart and flavours kept simple, bold and honest. From the first sip to the final bite, the evening unfolds at a relaxed, unhurried pace.

Begin with an Aperol Spritz or homemade lemonade and share small plates of roasted vegetables, olives and seasonal cheeses, or a selection of cured Italian meats. Tear into warm pizza bread brushed with rosemary and olive oil, or enjoy a soft, cheesy garlic option, before moving on to the main pizzas, where simplicity and balance take centre stage. Dips of basil pesto and a hint of chilli add subtle lift.

Fresh salads bring brightness and texture, while desserts offer playful or indulgent finales, from creamy affogato to a chocolate-topped sweet treat. Wines, spritzes and Italian-inspired cocktails keep the conversation flowing.

Relaxed, sociable and full of flavour, it is the perfect place to linger. Book a table, gather friends, and let the sourdough guide the evening.
