Ventisei means twenty-six in Italian.

​

In the Neapolitan tombola, the number 26 represents “Nanninella,” a symbol of family, protection and tradition.

 

Originally opened in 2019 as Nanninella, the restaurant soon became known as Brighton & Hove’s most traditional Neapolitan pizzeria, dedicated to the craft and simplicity of true pizza.

​

Inspired by our home at 26 Preston Street, our story now enters a new chapter as Ventisei Pizzeria Napoletana.

​

Authentic Neapolitan pizza remains at the heart of everything we do -
long-fermented dough, exceptional ingredients, and a terracotta pizza oven.

Six months into Ventisei, Sergio Ronga has returned to the heart of the pizzeria as our Head Pizzaiolo. Drawing on his Neapolitan roots and years of experience, Sergio is currently developing a refreshed menu that brings together much-loved favourites, carefully considered new dishes and the soft, traditional Neapolitan dough at the heart of our story. We look forward to sharing this next chapter with you very soon.

​

Simple food, made with care, inspired by the spirit of Napoli.
