Etna

Walk down New Street towards the Shire Hall and you'll find yourself in the kind of neighbourhood spot that feels both welcoming and genuinely good at what it does. Etna serves proper Italian food—the kind where you taste the ingredient quality rather than heavy-handedness—in a setting that's neither trying too hard nor phoning it in. You'll clock the 4.6-star rating and 359 reviews, which tells you locals keep coming back for a reason. This is where you bring your mates for a Friday night, or take someone you're trying to impress without it feeling forced.
