Why we love it

Italian street food, eh? Tuscan scran liberated from the chequered table cloth, twee balsamic bottle and giant pepper grinder, Eatalio’s straight up Subway-style format has diners combine their choice of base (pasta, wrap or salad) with selections from the grill (chicken, spicy sausage, rump steak, seasonal veg), sauce and sundry toppings. Eatalio makes fast-food pasta work (never easy), and the ragu di pomodoro is unfussy but ravishing. Décor-wise, think brash and Brighton-funky, with industrial finishing and unisex loos hilariously flexible ‘regardless of gender identity or expression’. A bellissima lunch spot with great coffee, or nicely sited for a carb-loading pitstop when on the tiles.
