Calla

You'll find Calla tucked into the heart of Whitefriargate, where Hull's food scene has genuinely started moving. It's the kind of place that does Italian cooking without overthinking it—fresh pasta made with actual care, sauces that taste like someone's nonna had opinions, and a wine list that knows what it's doing. The room itself feels lived-in rather than designed, with enough character to make you want to linger, but not so much that you're distracted from eating properly. It's become a proper neighbourhood spot where locals actually book ahead, which says everything.
