My Lunch Date at Jamie's Italian in Brighton

It's no secret that I'm a huge lover of Italian food. Pasta and Pizza are my true loves and without them I would be very sad and lonely! So when I was invited along to the new Jamie's Italian Brighton in my home town of Brighton I was very keen! Jamie's Italian has been very special to me - I had my first Valentine's Day date there 2 years ago and have been for birthdays and anniversaries since. The Brighton one is based down in the Lanes besides the beach so after a hard day of shopping, it's easy to pop in and have something yummy. 

The restaurant was much bigger than it looked and had a lovely undercover seating area with astro-turf so we decided to take little Teddy along

The staff were very accommodating to us and our little puppy and all gave him a huge fuss. They even moved our tables when it started to spit with rain. Our waiter was called Tom who was such a lovely guy and did everything he could to help us have a brilliant lunch date.

We had...

I had my absolute favourite in the world - carbonara - and it was just delicious. I considered having another carbonara instead of pudding. Sam had a spicy sausage pizza and we rounded it all off with some funky chips (garlic topped... amazing) and orange juices.

After this I wondered inside to find the toilet and discovered there was a projector showing the chefs making our food

We then treated ourselves to pudding and I had another all-time favourite... pavlova, whilst Sam had a chocolate brownie with salted caramel icecream and popcorn!

Overall, we had a brilliant time! I have maintained my long-standing love affair with all things Jamie Oliver and Italian and would definitely go back again. Thank you for the opportunity!
