Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Brighton

Generous portions, great atmosphere, lots of variety on the menu and drink list! The lunch crowd was busy we were thankful for having a reservation!

The food was outstanding, the ambience lovely and serene, the service was impeccable. So often "fine dining experiences can take too long, but this was perfectly balanced. We were in and out in about 90 min, which was just the right combination of attentive but unobtrusive. It is pricey though, so be prepared for that.

Ciao Amici has stepped up their game regarding service. It was exceptional this visit. The water waiter immediately filled our glasses as we sat down. The waitress was very friendly, fast, informative, and proficient. The food was quite tasty. The shrimp luca is an excellent choice along with the lamb shank. A very good dining experience. One small notation, the waitress should wait until the customer is done with their table conversation before making inquiries regarding placement of an order, rather than interrupting. It's a little rude.

Love this restaurant! Great menu, friendly and capable servers, managers that care, delicious meals. Most consistent restaurant in downtown Brighton. Highly recommend.

We were seated at a high top for 2 people that overlooked the kitchen. My wife and I are average sized humans and we felt the table was a little cramped for shared plates, but this was the only negative thing to say about our evening. The service was outstanding with napkins, plates, and cutlery replaced with each course. The restaurant was filled with conversation and some fun music, about what you would expect with shared plates being the main theme. The drinks were great, the view from our table was superb. We had a look in on the open fire grill and the stone oven while also being able to watch the bartenders put on a show making cocktails. Food was top notch and came out spaced perfectly. We had the beef tartare, Carrots, octopus, and duck. This was an excellent date night, anniversary meal (if you’re ok with loud) or a great double date, I think 4 people here fits the menu size for their shared plates pretty well.
