Proper Italian cooking on Humberstone Gate where they don't mess about with the classics. Fresh pasta, serious wine list, zero pretension.

Walk into Unico and you're immediately in that warm, lived-in Italian space—the kind where locals have been coming for years and the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing. You're on Humberstone Gate, Leicester's restaurant stretch, but this place feels properly neighbourhood-focused rather than trying to impress passing trade. The pasta's made with genuine technique (you'll taste the difference), the sauces aren't overthinking things, and they've clearly got strong relationships with suppliers who matter. It's the sort of place where you can roll in for a weeknight carbonara or book ahead for something more proper—either way, you're getting food cooked by people who actually care.
