Vita Xscape

You're at Xscape on Marlborough Gate, and instead of settling for the usual suspects, you duck into Vita. It's the kind of Italian spot that doesn't need to shout about itself—the kitchen does that for you. The pasta's made right, the sauces aren't mucking about with cream when they shouldn't, and the pizzas come out with proper char and leopard spots. You'll notice families tucking in alongside couples on dates, which tells you something about the food. It's not trying to be fancy, just honest.
