Pesca Trattoria is a family-run restaurant bar from the team behind London’s Mele e Pere and Gotto. The restaurant serves homemade, Italian recipes that are reminiscent of the fabulous family-run places of northern Italy. Now in the heart of Hove and providing our city with chef Andrea’s delicious dishes and culinary expertise. Pesca Trattoria Hove is spacious and bright with a food and drink menu that is accessible to families and friends of all ages.
Finding Pesca Trattoria Hove
Located in prosperous Hove, on Church Road, between the popular Second and Third Avenues. Pesca is well situated as a destination spot, should you be looking for an excuse to cross the Brighton Hove border. It’s also aptly placed for locals on lunch, beachgoers and anyone ‘toing and froing’ from Hove train station.
The feel of Pesca
This Hove restaurant is fronted by floor to ceiling concertina doors, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere inside, which opens up during summer for an outside/inside dining experience . Outside, there is also a good amount of street side seating for alfresco dining.
The decor palette draws influence from the restaurant’s name (pesca being Italian for peach). Peach is the colour that woos passersby in from the streets. Plush velvet bar stools line the counter, inviting you to dine at the bar side. For those, after a more intimate dining experience, there is no shortage of comfortable seating to choose from.
Eating at Pesca
Chef Andrea’s menu is abundant with classic (but not commonly found) dishes from all Northern Italy. Pesca provides a menu of antipasti, homemade pasta and an authentic a la carte selection which offer a catch of the day as well as, steaks. Also on the menu you’ll find dishes such as: parmigiana di melanzane, sirloin tagliata and to top it off a fantastic selection of favourite Italian desserts.
Vegan can be made available as well as a full variety of antipasti available for plant-based diners to enjoy. If you’re dining gluten free then you can also enjoy a GF based tagliatelle, several of the a la carte dishes as well as the antipasti. As with any dietary requirements we recommend enquiring about booking or asking your server to guide you through the menu.
