I was searching for an Italian the other day and came across Mamma Mi on George Street in Hove, not eaten there myself yet but is very highly rated on trip advisor:

I've never been to Brighton, but from the photos I've seen on TripAdvisor of some of the places you mentioned (assuming you don't want a pizza):
Franco's Osteria looks like a good healthy place where they cook in true Italian style (simplicity, 3 quality ingredients are better than 20 average ones mixed casually),
Cin Cin is the one that looks how a real Italian chef would cook if he was trying his own new recipes and enjoying experimenting. Looks pricey but obviously I don't know exactly how much.
Cin Cin's recipes are not really traditional recipes, but they're still Italian in their origin and style and they seem fun, plus to us phylosophy is more important than only cooking traditional dishes. That one and Franco's are 100% where Italians would go and eat (if they could afford it) among the ones listed here so far, if they could only judge by the pictures. Obviously I could really judge a restaurant only if I was also able to taste their dishes, as something can look amazing and taste like shit and viceversa, so take this with a pinch of salt.

London probably !
Is this traditional in Italian cuisine?

Low budget, lovely pizzas, nice people.
I went to a very nice pizza place in Lisburn the other day, if that helps.
It definitely wasn't authentically Italian.
Or reasonably priced.
But it was open at 9pm on a Sunday.
Also I can't remember what it was called.

Worst limerick ever.
Oh, I was trying to write a haiku.
O’Gambino’s?

I was in Milan last year we chose the places rammed with locals and wasn’t blown away tbh. Prefer a nice steak which the Italians are useless at.
If you've not been, Lisburn's... not that kind of vibe.
Having just checked, it's a chain in NI:

Always, in pasta as well as in cakes

You need to go to Tuscany for that. Also, Milan has quite high prices and doesn't really have a lot to its tradition besides saffron risotto and breaded cutlets (which are both good dishes to be honest.) A bit like London.

Well you need to fix that.
Speaking of salt - last time I ate at Franco's, the lasagna was too salty. It was a while ago though.
