Ciao Bella

Proper Italian cooking on Nottingham Road that's been pulling in locals for years with unfussy pasta and a wine list that actually makes sense.

Head down to Cattle Market House and you'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood Italian—the kind where they know what they're doing without making a fuss about it. The kitchen turns out honest pasta dishes that taste like someone's nonna had a hand in them, alongside the kind of risotto and meat dishes that remind you why Italian food doesn't need reinvention. It's got soul without trying too hard, the sort of place where regulars nestle into corners and special occasions don't feel forced. Prices sit comfortably in the middle ground, so you're not breaking the bank, but you're eating proper food either way.
