Peccati Italiani

Head down to Heaton Road and you'll find yourself in front of something that actually takes Italian food seriously. This is the kind of spot where you can taste the difference between rushed and done properly—the pasta's made with care, the sauces aren't something they've warmed up from yesterday, and they're not trying to be anything other than what they are. You're getting honest Italian food that won't mess you about, whether you're picking up midweek or grabbing something for a weekend dinner. It's the sort of place locals keep coming back to because it just works.
