Puccini Restaurant

Proper Italian done right on Pudding Chare—proper pasta, proper wine, proper neighbourhood feel.

You'll find yourself on one of the city centre's most characterful streets, where Puccini sits quietly confident among the Georgian architecture. This is Italian cooking that doesn't overthink itself: fresh pasta made with actual skill, sauces that taste like someone's nonna had a say in them, and wine lists that go beyond the obvious. The room feels lived-in rather than designed, which is precisely why locals keep coming back. Service strikes that rare balance between attentive and unobtrusive—they know when to chat and when to leave you be.
