Primavera Ristorante

You walk down Montpellier Terrace and suddenly you're somewhere that feels a bit removed from the usual Cheltenham circuit. Primavera's got that warm, lived-in thing going on—not trying too hard, just doing Italian food properly. The menu reads like someone's spent time actually understanding Italian regions rather than just throwing together a greatest hits. Expect proper risottos, handmade pasta when it matters, and a wine list that won't have you squinting at unfamiliar names. It's the sort of place locals keep coming back to because the cooking's honest and they don't mess about with gimmicks.
