Caffè Portico

Walk down Grantham Street towards the cathedral and you'll spot Caffè Portico tucked away on The Terrace, where locals have been gathering for genuinely good Italian food for years. The kind of place where they know what they're doing with their ingredients—not just wheeling out tired classics. You'll find proper risotto, handmade pasta, and coffee that tastes like someone actually cares. The room's got warmth without being fussy, and the fact that nearly 520 people have rated it 4.7 stars says everything about how well they've nailed the balance between ambition and approachability.
