A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established and fully operational Italian restaurant in a prominent position on Lewes Road, one of Brighton’s principal arterial routes and a key
approach to the city centre. The business occupies a strong trading location, benefiting from year-round footfall generated by the substantial student population, local residents
and families, and neighbouring retailers and service businesses. Excellent public transport links, including nearby bus stops, support a broad customer
catchment and provide potential for continued growth in both dine-in and delivery trade. Established approximately five years ago, the restaurant offers a comprehensive
Italian-inspired breakfast, lunch and Sunday lunch menu. It has developed an excellent local reputation, supported by ratings of 4.7 stars on Google and 5 stars on
Uber Eats. Offered for sale due to the owner’s proposed new business venture, this
represents a genuine turnkey opportunity for an experienced operator or
first-time buyer to acquire a recognised and well-positioned Brighton hospitality business with an established customer base and clear scope to build on its success
