L'Olivo
Proper Italian cooking in a listed building on Market Place—think handmade pasta and real Neapolitan pizzas, not chain nonsense.

You'll find L'Olivo tucked into Old Kent House, one of those beautiful period buildings that actually makes Market Place feel like somewhere worth lingering. It's the kind of spot where locals have proper meals rather than quick bites—the sort of place that's been quietly doing excellent Italian food without needing to shout about it. The cooking is straightforward and confident: they're not messing about with foam or trying to be clever, just respecting ingredients and technique. You can tell they care about getting the basics right, which is honestly rarer than it should be.
