Barolo Italian Bar & Kitchen

Walk into Barolo and you've landed in that sweet spot where Mitchell Street's business types and actual food lovers collide. The room's got enough warmth to feel welcoming without the fussy nonsense—think exposed brick, candlelit tables, the kind of place you book for your mum's birthday and end up going back to solo on a Wednesday. The kitchen takes Italian seriously: fresh pasta that tastes like someone actually cared, proper risotto, meat done the way it should be. You'll spend around £25-40 a head without breaking the bank, which explains why the place manages to pack out most nights.
