The Italian Way

Head down to Canton and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood Italian that doesn't try too hard. The kind of place where they're genuinely bothered about getting the basics right — fresh pasta that tastes like it should, sauces that haven't been simmering since breakfast, and staff who actually know their Barolo from their Barbaresco. You're looking at a cosy setup with real Italian soul, the sort that gets busy with locals rather than tourists hunting for Instagram moments. It's the restaurant you'd actually take your mates to, not the one you'd feel obliged to dress up for.
