An impressive and reiable local restaurant .Attention to detail and creativity must be noted.We have dined here several times in the last 4 months or so and each occasion was memorable .The food choices are all excellent and the interesting ombinations of flavours really work
Essentially Italian but unafraid to incorportare small Asian flavours ...say miso here ...or sesame there ...the ultimate result is delicious .
Wine choices are excellent with good advice given on pairings with ones choice of food
This in intimate small space with attentive service and a quiet ambience.Great cocktails
as well !
It is definitely a Bayside treasure proving you can eat locally and have a lovely experience without going closer to the city

Bottarga never disappoints. Somi and Federico are both so knowledgeable and always deliver amazing service, backed with amazing food. My partner and I love coming here to celebrate milestones together as the atmosphere is romantic. Their menu is always different, always new touches to the restaurant itself. Their business. is growing quickly, time to jump on board! If you're ever looking for a beautiful night out, Bottarga is the way to go. Such a hidden gem!! Thank you for looking after us all the time, see you next time!

My wife and I had the 13 courses with matching wines and the food and wine paring was outstanding.
The food flavours were fabulous, and the service was next level.
The chef even took time to sit with us and talk through the dishes and ingredients.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone.

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bottarga in Brighton. We booked last minute, and it turned out to be an experience to remember. From the moment we arrived, the cozy, intimate atmosphere made us feel right at home. Although we opted to sit outside since it was a beautiful day, we still had a view through the window of the open kitchen – a special touch that let us watch the chefs in action. The staff were attentive and ensured every detail of our meal was seamless.
The menu, with its unique blend of contemporary Italian and Asian-inspired dishes, was a real treat. We chose the 3-course menu, which offered fantastic value considering the quality and creativity in each dish. Highlights for us were the crab spaghetti and arancini, both perfectly prepared and bursting with flavour.
We went with the sommelier’s wine pairing, which truly elevated each course with thoughtful selections that complemented each dish beautifully.
Overall, Bottarga exceeded our expectations. If you’re after a memorable fine dining experience in Brighton, this spot is a must-try and incredible value.
