Pinello Restaurant

Pinello Restaurant is a Mediterranean dining room on Kings Road beside Brighton’s seafront. Its menu brings together pizza, pasta, seafood and meat, with cooking shaped by Mediterranean herbs, fresh ingredients and a straightforward approach to flavour. The setting suits diners looking for a broad choice of Italian and Mediterranean-inspired dishes in a warm, welcoming restaurant.

Pizza is prepared in an Italian style, while the pasta selection includes familiar classics and seafood-led dishes. Fish is treated simply, allowing the character of the sea to remain central, and meat is grilled, roasted or braised. The range makes Pinello suitable for meals built around different tastes, from a pizza-focused lunch to a more substantial seafood or meat dinner.

The restaurant’s character is also connected to its location. Pinello occupies a historic site associated with early cinema in Britain, giving the dining room a local story alongside its Mediterranean focus. That connection to Brighton’s past complements the restaurant’s emphasis on food, culture and a sense of place without taking attention away from the menu.

Fresh, locally sourced ingredients and Mediterranean seasoning form the foundation of the cooking. The overall style is relaxed but considered, with dishes designed around familiar ingredients, clear flavours and generous warmth. Pinello can work for casual meals, planned celebrations and gatherings where a varied menu is useful. Advance reservations are recommended, although spontaneous visits are welcomed, and gift vouchers are available for occasions that call for a restaurant experience.
