La Terra

You'll find yourself on John Street in the shadow of Bath Abbey, pushing through the door of what looks deceptively modest from the outside. Inside, it's warm without being fussy—exposed stone, soft lighting, the kind of place where regulars clearly know the staff by name. The cooking is honest Italian; the sort that makes you realise how much mediocre pasta you've eaten elsewhere. Everything feels intentional here, from the wine list to the way they've thought about what actually works in Bath.
