Milano

You'll find this Milano tucked into the ground floor of the Grand Canal Harbour development, where the glass towers meet the water. It's one of those spots that works because it doesn't try too hard – just solid pizza and pasta in a bright, modern space that feels more like a local than a chain outlet. The pizza bases are properly thin and crispy, and they're not stingy with the toppings. The carbonara does the job when you're craving something creamy and comforting, and the prices won't have you questioning your life choices. It's become a go-to for Docklands workers and families living in the area who want something reliable without the trek into town. The staff are sound, and you can actually have a conversation without shouting over the din.
