La Bella Vista

Walk onto Grand Parade and you'll spot the sort of place that's been doing its thing quietly while trendier spots come and go. Inside, it's all warm lighting and that comfortable clatter of a restaurant that knows what it's doing—families tucking into plates of handmade ravioli, couples lingering over wine, locals who've been coming for years nodding at the staff. You get the sense this is proper Italian cooking, not the streamlined version: generous portions, sauces that taste like someone's nonna had a say, risotto that costs what it should because they're not cutting corners.
