Rastella

Walk down Western Terrace towards the seafront and you'll find yourself in one of those spots that feels properly grown-up without being stuffy about it. Rastella does Italian food—proper Italian food—which in Falmouth means you're immediately grateful someone's bothered to get the basics right. The cooking is unpretentious but precise; this isn't about molecular gastronomy or tired interpretations, it's about respecting ingredients and technique. You're sat somewhere intimate enough to feel special, casual enough that you won't spend the evening worrying about your elbows.
