Ecco Vino

Head down Cockburn Street and you'll find yourself in a long, narrow dining room with exposed stone walls and a genuinely welcoming buzz. It's the kind of place where locals actually book tables, not somewhere you stumble into because you're lost. The seafood is handled with real care—whether it's fresh pasta with crab or a properly cooked piece of fish—and the wine list leans Italian, which makes sense given the kitchen's sensibility. Expect to spend around £25-40 for mains, which feels fair for the quality. The room itself has character without trying too hard: candlelit, intimate without being precious.
