Goodfare Italian Restaurant

Walk down Parkway towards the canal and you'll find Goodfare doing what most London Italian spots claim to but rarely pull off: straightforward, well-executed regional cooking. The kind of place where they're not messing about with foam or deconstructed anything—just good ingredients treated with respect. It gets properly busy, especially weekends, which tells you something about how locals feel about it. You're looking at mid-range pricing that feels fair given the quality, and the wine list actually knows what it's doing rather than just pushing the expensive stuff.
