Pasco's Italian

You're stepping into Market Place, that buzzing stretch where Hull's got some real energy, and Pasco's sits right there in King William House like it knows exactly what it's doing. This is straightforward Italian—think fresh pasta made with actual technique, risottos that take time, and a wine list that actually respects the food rather than just punting overpriced bottles. The room's warm without feeling stuffy, the kind of place where locals keep coming back because the food's consistent and the staff genuinely seem to give a toss. It's got that neighbourhood restaurant energy even though it's slap bang in the city centre, which is harder to pull off than you'd think.
